does alan ever address kevin flynn by name? or is it only “him,” “that guy,” etc?
in the 1982 movie he calls him “hotshot” once
one sec lemme look up the rest of their interactions
ok! All times that Alan mentioned or addressed Flynn in 1982. Go!
“Flynn had access to you too.” (ok he does say his actual name!)
“I don’t see why I have to do that guy any favors.”
“I don’t know what you ever saw in that guy, anyway.”
(seems to prefer “that guy” tho)
“Where is he?” (simple pronoun also works)
“The best programmer ENCOM ever saw, and he winds up playing space cowboy in some back room.” (and some surprisingly complimentary descriptors)
“No.” “I mean, not that often.”
(first actual time he addresses Flynn and look what a doofus he makes of himself)
to be continued…
“You did break in!”
“Flynn, are you embezzling?”
(actual name again! but only to emphasize a Very Serious accusation)
“I don’t get it.”
“You invented Space Paranoids?”
(second-person pronoun at the most, here, stressed like it’s dubious)
“I still don’t understand why you want to break into the system.” (same again here)
“Not if my Tron program was running. That’d shut the system down.”
“You know, if your file was in there–”
(possessive Your, as some realizations fall into place)
