Hackers Page #3

Dade types:

CRASH OVERRIDE.

WHO WANTS TO KNOW?

Dade's screen dissolves into:

ACID BURN:

DADE:

Unbelievable. A hacker!

Then the screen changes again:

ACID BURN:

SEZ LEAVE B 4

U R EXPUNGED:

"The Outer Limits" suddenly flashes off.

DADE:

Yeah, okay "Acid Burn", that's enough.

Dade starts hacking. Apparently so does Acid Burn. The

tape changer machines at OTV are swamped, sometimes

fighting over the same tape. The program on TV keeps

changing.

The message comes up on Dade's computer screen:

I WILL:

SWAT U LIKE:

THE FLY U R:

More dueling tape changers, more half second video clips.

Another message.

I WILL:

SNAP YOUR BACK:

LIKE A TOOTHPICK

As the duel continues, Dade types back a taunt of his own:

MESS WITH THE BEST

DIE LIKE THE REST

One last from Acid Burn:

YOU ARE:

TERMINATED:

Then his own computer confirms for him that the connection

is terminated.

DADE:

Sh*t on me!

Next morning. Mrs. Murphy is unpacking. Dade emerges

from his room in a housecoat. He makes a beeline (dodging

moving boxes) for the fridge.

MRS. MURPHY

Good morning. You unpack your stuff yet?

DADE:

Mm-hmm.

MRS. MURPHY

Up all night again, huh?

DADE:

Can this wait until both my eyes are open,

please?

Dade's mom picks up the phone, mocking a call to the

building superintendent.

MRS. MURPHY

Can I cut the electricity to his room so he'll

sleep normal hours? He's been playing with

his computer all night for a solid week.

(pause)

Well yes, he could be playing with himself.

Mmm hmm. Yes I'll ask. Dade, you like girls,

don't you?

DADE:

Well, yeah, I just haven't found one as

charming as you yet.
