Memorable quotes from The Net
"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."
"Such a nightmare! It's like I'm not even me anymore!"
"What were you trying to do? Save the world?"
"If you'll excuse me, it's, it's time to make the world safe for democracy."
"Give us the disk and we'll give you your life back."
"IceMan: [in a chat room] No one leaves the house anymore. No one has sex. The Net is ultimate condom."
"Jack Devlin: Computers are your life, aren't they?"
"Angela Bennett: Yes. The perfect hiding place."
