I wouldn't say 'lifted'. They were straight reading manifesto itself, not pretending that it's something else.

It's funny how the hacker says, "Cool" and the reader said, "Cool? It's not cool. It's commie bullshit."

Honest question: Which one is correct?

They’re both federal agents. Neither is a hacker. The guy that says “cool” is just more hip than the other one.

"You may stop me, but you can't stop us all."

Still correct.

that's not a hacker but also an agent.

and a bit of trivia - person who plays him is Marc Anthony (musician, ex-husband of Jennifer Lopez)

> I'm smarter than most of the other kids, this crap they teach us bores me...

> If it makes a mistake, it's because I screwed it up. Not because it doesn't like me...

> My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

These quotes are too individualistic to be "commie".

Oh, I see. That line was used in the movie posters at the time. Yep, true - it was based on manifesto :)
