Lora Quotes in TRON (1982)

Alan Bradley: [about the digitizing laser] Great. Can it send me to Hawaii?

Lora: Yep, but you gotta purchase your program 30 days in advance. How's it going upstairs?

Alan Bradley: Frustrating. I had Tron almost ready, when Dillinger cut everyone with Group-7 access out of the system. I tell you ever since he got that Master Control Program, the system's got more bugs than a bait store.

Dr. Walter Gibbs: [laughs] You've got to expect some static. After all, computers are just machines; they can't think.

Alan Bradley: Some programs will be thinking soon.

Dr. Walter Gibbs: Won't that be grand? Computers and the programs will start thinking and the people will stop.

Alan Bradley: You invented Space Paranoids?

Kevin Flynn: Paranoids, Matrix Blaster, Vice Squad, a whole slew of them. I was this close to starting my own little enterprise, man. But enter another software engineer. Not so young, not so bright, but very very sneaky. Ed Dillinger. So one night, our boy Flynn, he goes to his terminal, tries to read up his file. I get nothing on there, it's a big blank. Okay, now we take you three months later. Dillinger presents ENCOM with five video games, that's *he's* invented. The slime didn't even change the names, man! He gets a big, fat promotion. And thus begins his meteoric rise to... what is he now, Executive V.P.?

Lora: Senior exec.

Kevin Flynn: *Senior* exec...?

[sighs]

Kevin Flynn: Meanwhile, the kids are putting eight million quarters *a week* into Paranoids machines. I don't see a dime except what I squeeze out of here.

Alan Bradley: I still don't understand why you want to break into the system.

Kevin Flynn: *Because*, man, *somewhere* in one of these memories is the *evidence*! If I got in far enough, I could reconstruct it!

Kevin Flynn: You were never much for small talk, were you?

[to Alan]

Kevin Flynn: She still leave her clothes all over the floor?

Lora: Flynn!

Alan Bradley: No!

Lora: Alan!

Alan Bradley: I mean, not that often.

Lora: Now you can see why all his friends are 14 years old!

Kevin Flynn: Touche, touche.

Lora: You know, Flynn has been thinking of breaking into the system ever since Dillinger canned him. And he had Group 7 access.

Alan Bradley: [sour] Flynn had access to you too.

Kevin Flynn: [Lora is going to leave Flynn alone in the laser lab] You are going to stick with me, right?

Lora: What for? You're the one who never needed help, remember?

Kevin Flynn: Come on, I'm - I'm scared of the dark. All this technology scares me.

Lora: You're aiming high.

Steve: Why not? It doesn't cost anymore. Don't you believe in chasing rainbows?

[Sarah Jane enters carrying a serving tray on her head]

Sarah Jane: [affected Southern Negro accent] Fetched y'all up a mess 'a crawdads, Miss Lora... fo' you an' yo' friends!

Lora: Well, that's quite a trick, Sarah Jane... where did you learn it?

Sarah Jane: [affected Southern Negro accent] Oh, 'tain't no trick ta' totin', Miss Lora! I learned it from my mammy, an' she learned it from ol' massa, 'fo' she belonged to you...

Lora: It never occurred to me that you had many friends. You never have any visit you.

Annie: I know lots of people. Oh, hundreds.

Lora: Really?

Annie: I belong to the Baptist church. And I belong to several lodges too.

Lora: I didn't know.

Annie: Miss Lora, you never asked.
