Mr. Robot 2×4

& Darlene: Init 1... I wouldn’t say that if I wasn’t being serious.

& Darlene: Trust me, in this day and age, it’s sicker not having panic attacks.

& Elliot: Maybe I should take the job at Allsafe. I could be a Trojan horse... Be a good way to take them down...
    Darlene: Who?
    Elliot: Evil Corp.

& Elliot: With the right access... install the right malware... Trash their backups, we could corrupt all their data. I bet it wouldn’t even be that hard. No. No, the hard part would be after, during the fallout. That’s the key. The follow through.

& Elliot: Asking for help was never Darlene’s strong suit. But then again, is it anyone’s?.. An admission of weakness. But you can’t avoid the simple truth. The only way to patch a vulnerability is by exposing it first.

& Elliot: The flip side being that exposing a vulnerability leaves you open for an exploit.

& Elliot: We’re on the other side of something we never signed up for.

& DiPierro: They’re hackers. Brazen. They believe in hiding in plain sight.

& Elliot: And you’re gonna teach me?
    Ray: No. Take the board. Play yourself. Practice. Who knows, you might beat yourself.

& Elliot: What would happen if I lose?..
    Mr. Robot: ... That’s what. The absence of knowing. Losing time forever. A deep, black void that you will never come back from. No thoughts. No body. No memories. Absolute... nothingness.

& Krista: For better or worse, he is a part of you that makes you you. Annihilation is not the answer.
    Elliot: ’Krista’s wrong. Annihilation is always the answer. We destroy parts of ourselves every day. We Photoshop our warts away. We edit the parts we hate about ourselves, modify the parts we think people hate. We curate our identity, carve it, distill it.
    Krista’s wrong. Annihilation is all we are.

& Darlene: You want to help? Be a man and let me be upset, okay?

& Leon: You know, back in the Age of Enlightenment, motherfuckers used chess as a means of self-improvement, ’cause there wasn’t no Tony Robbins DVDs back then.

& Leon: Do you dream, Elliot? You scraping so hard like you ain’t ever asked yourself this before. I said, do you want to be here right now? And I don’t mean, like, here-here, but I mean here in a cosmic sense, bro. Like, existence could be beautiful, or it could be ugly, but that’s on you.
    Elliot: How do I know which one’s for me?
    Leon: Dream... You got to find out the future you’re fighting for.

& Leon: Sometimes you got to close your eyes and really envision that shit, bro. If you like it, then it’s beautiful. If you don’t? Then you might as well fade the fuck out right now.

& Elliot: In chess, help isn’t allowed. That’s the beauty of the game. You’re locked into a set of moves as determined by your previous choices... Your options dramatically changing with every decision. There is no lifeline. There is no external force at play. It is a pure battle of two opponents...

& Elliot: There over 9 million different possible positions after three chess moves each. There are over 288 billion different possible positions after four moves. The number of 40-move games is greater than the number of electrons in the observable universe.
    You don’t need to know those outcomes. You just need to be able to see ahead of your opponent. But how can you when your other opponent is... you?

& Elliot: Don’t worry. I know what to do.

& Ray: Did you know... that Moses... heard voices too?

& Elliot: What do you think? Is Ray right? Should I listen to the voice? Does it make me special? Like Moses?..

& Mr. Robot: What exactly are you doing?
    Elliot: I’m hacking the FBI.
