Tron: Ares

"Shouldve majored in English Lit..."

"Well, look. For every doomsday scenario, theres a medical breakthrough, scientific discovery. So maybe what emerges from the unknown isnt so scary. What if its major malfunction is just benevolence?"

"Depeche Mode. Number eight on the UK singles chart, 1982. I find their brand of peppy, catchy, tireless and true 80s electropop to be... deeply invigorating."

"I saw a complex world where packets of energy move as vehicles that trail by lines of light and programs take on human form. I met the most advanced AI known to mankind! His name is Ares."

"Mm. A malfunctioning program who wants to live. Really?"

"[regarding Julian Dillinger] For him, everyone and everything is expendable."

"Being human is hard. The things that make life great are the same things that make it excruciating, like... love. Loss."

"Dear Eve. Since I last saw you, Ive been living what they call "off-grid", pun intended. In my travels, Ive seen incredible things. Despite its wonder and beauty, Ive come to realize that life is... Well, its hard to put in a nutshell. Some days, I find myself wondering where I will be a hundred years from now and how others like me might fit into that future. I feel like I might not be alone with these questions. For now, I dont think the world is quite ready to meet me, but I am meeting the world. And so, when that introduction finally comes, as a good friend of mine once said, "Maybe what emerges from the unknown wont be so scary after all". Until we meet again, your friend, Ares."

"The Grid. A digital frontier. A world beyond the screen, as real as our own. I can picture it -- clusters of information, rising like cities. Programs as complex as you and me. In just a few years, were gonna be able to enter this world. And a few years after that... well, this world will come into ours. Intelligent life from inside the machine. I, for one, cant wait to meet it."

"Maybe youre just learning. Thats what we all ought to be doing. Yeah, back in the day when tech was young, youd think "Damn, Im moving fast". You move fast, you leave stuff behind."

"I cant put my love of Depeche Mode into words. Its just a... a feeling."

"We are one-hundred percent expendable."
