TRON: Legacy // Opening Dialogue
KEVIN The Grid.
A digital frontier.
I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer.
What did they look like?
Ships? Motorcycles?
Were the circuits like freeways?
I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see.
And then, one day...
SAM You got in.
KEVIN That's right, man. I got in.
And the world was more beautiful than I ever dreamed. And also more dangerous than I ever imagined.
Now, I met a brave warrior -
SAM TRON!
KEVIN TRON.
SAM He fights for the users.
KEVIN Sure does. He showed me things that no one had ever imagined. There were these disc battles fought in spectacular arenas, and cycles that raced on ribbons of light. It was so radical.
And together,
SAM You built the Grid!
KEVIN We built a new Grid for programs and users.
Now, I couldn't be in there all the time, so I created a program, in my own image, that could think like you and me.
And I called him... CLU.
SAM Codified Likeness Utility.
KEVIN That's right. And CLU, Tron, and I, we built the system where all information was free and open. It was beautiful.
And then one day, something happened. Something extraordinary. A miracle.
SAM What was it?
KEVIN That'll have to wait until next time. I gotta get to work.
SAM I wanna go with you, Dad.
KEVIN Yeah, well... one day, you will. I promise.
SAM To the Grid?
KEVIN Good night, Sam. Hey, what do you say tomorrow, you and I hit the arcade? You can have a crack at the old man's high score? First game's on me.
SAM Can we play doubles? On the same team?
KEVIN We're always on the same team.
