• Angela : Just think about it. Our whole world is sitting there on a computer. It's in the computer, everything: your, your DMV records, your, your social security, your credit cards, your medical records. It's all right there. Everyone is stored in there. It's like this little electronic shadow on each and everyone of us, just, just begging for someone to screw with, and you know what? They've done it to me, and you know what? They're gonna do it to you.

• Jack : God, we're pathetic, aren't we?

  Angela : No. Not the world, just myself.

• Cyberbob : So what do U want in a man?

• Angela : You know the story. I thought I was lonely, and he forgot he was married.

• Dr. Alan Champion : This is bizarre. I haven't seen you in so long. What are we even doing here?

  Angela : Um, I just figured you would be safe.

  Dr. Alan Champion : Oh great, so I've gone from being a self-centered asshole to safe. Thank you very much.

  Angela : No, I just figured that they couldn't, um, trace me to you and that your, your patient records are confidential, right?

  Dr. Alan Champion : My patient records! Yeah, I knew I had my subtle charms.

• Angela : I just don't, I don't understand. Why me? Why me? I am nobody. I am nothing. They knew, they knew everything about me. They knew. They knew what I ate, they knew what I drank, they knew what movies that I watch, they knew, they knew, they knew what, where I was from, they knew what cigarettes I used to smoke, and, and, and everything they, they did, they must have watched on the, on the Internet, I don't know, watched my credit cards? Our whole lives are on the computer, and they knew, they knew that I could be vanished. They knew that nobody would care, that nobody would understand, and that you would, that it wouldn't matter anymore.

• Jack : The beauty of the Gatekeeper system is that we can get in and out of the FBI like it's the Public Library. It's a beautiful system.

  Ruth Marx : Let's finish the work and get the hell outta here. These people make me nervous.

  Jack : No harm done. Everything you done will be wiped out by just escaping the system.

  Angela Bennett : [dares Devlin to press the "Escape" button]  Really?

  [Devlin presses the "Escape" button, not realizing until too late that the virus disk was in the hard drive, causing the virus to devour the mainframe, the Gatekeeper program, and Gregg's "Prateorians" unit] 

  Ruth Marx : [shocked]  Goddamn it, you're in the mainframe. It's eating through Gregg's entire system. Do something!

  Jack : Shit!

  Ruth Marx : Devlin, It's a virus eating through the Gatekeeper program.

  [Angela slips out from their clutches] 

  Ruth Marx : There's gonna be nothing left. Everything will be destroyed!

• Dr. Alan Champion : I figured you'd be hungry, so I stopped on the way over. I got your favorite, Chinese.

• Jack : Computers are your life, aren't they?

  Angela : Yes. The perfect hiding place.

  Jack : [shoves Angela over]  Get away from the computer. What did think you were trying to do? Save the world?

  Angela Bennett : No. Not the world. Just myself.

  Jack : Ah, I'm afraid it's too late for that. The offer's been withdrawn.

  Angela Bennett : Um, you might wanna look at the screen, because everything on that disk was just sent to the FBI. Everything.

  Jack : So?

  Angela Bennett : So... proof that the Gatekeeper program has a back door.

  Jack : [convinced]  My, my.

  Angela Bennett : Proof that Bergstrom and Dale's murder were orchestrated by Gregg.

  Jack : [to Ruth]  Watch her.

• Angela : For future reference you should know that the living tend to interest me just a little more than the dead do.

• [Angela's working on her computer] 

  Jack : Is that business or pleasure?

  Angela : Is there a difference?

  Jack : Not a great deal if you're a hacker.

• Jack : I reckon you've got to try a few things in life without a safety net. How else are you gonna know you're alive?
