One of the Best Bits in Tron (1982)

This is one of my favorite parts of Tron, when Ram and Flynn are in jail and talking about their past lives before they were turned into computer-world gladiators.

                             FLYNN
                    Hey, Ram ... what were you ...
                    you know, before?


                               RAM
                           (nostalgic,
                            brightens)
                    Oh, I was an actuarial program...
                    worked at a big insurance company.
                    It really gives you a great feeling,
                    helping folks plan for their future
                    needs -- and of course, if you look
                    at the payments as an annuity, over
                    the years, the cost is really


                               FLYNN
                             (about to
                             get bored)
                    Yeah, yeah -- that's great.

That's one of the more nerdly moments.
