Blackhat Quotes

Chen Lien: I'm sorry for what happened to you.
Nicholas Hathaway: Well, don't be. I'm not fishing for sympathy, here. I did the crime, I'm doing the time. Time isn't doing me.
Chen Lien: What's that mean?
Nicholas Hathaway: I do my own time, not the institution's. See, to hold on to who you are in there, you dedicate yourself to your program. You work out on your body and your mind.

Gary Baker: You want to see my data, you come up with something a little more tangible. Something more in the way of probable cause than your hunch.
Carol Barrett: Gary. May I call you Gary? How's this for tangible? In the next 15 seconds I call Laura Greer at the Commodities Trading Commission. And I say, Laura, how you doing? I'd like to launch an official investigation on one Gary Baker. So the headline, M-Tech Official Investigated for Aiding and Abetting Cyber Criminals leaks to CNN in the next 90, so it makes the three o'clock news cycle, as well as the nightly news. That'd be good too.
Carol Barrett: [after a hard stare down]Am I being tangible? Gary?

Nicholas Hathaway: We're in.
Carol Barrett: You can call me chica any time you want.

George Reinker: The U.S. Government would like your technical advice on this. In exchange for that, we're going to furlough you right out of here. You sign that on the last page, and we'll get you processed.
Nicholas Hathaway: [begins skimming the agreement]
George Reinker: You'll wear an ankle bracelet and be accompanied by a U.S. Marshall. Your computer access will be restricted. If you wanna study the whole document, you can go right ahead. I can come back in a month or two.
Nicholas Hathaway: No, I'm done. [pushing the folder back]
George Reinker: You didn't sign it.
Nicholas Hathaway: Yeah, why would I sign it?
George Reinker: Why? Because of the generosity of the Assistant U.S. Attorney in granting you a furlough.

George Reinker: I'm sorry?
Nicholas Hathaway: Why are you sorry? I insulted you. What are you sorry for? I'm not sorry.
George Reinker: Don't think you're gonna...
