Elysium2013/I

Delacourt:
I'm not interested in your little ideas. I'm interested in something much larger. This habitat is dying. There is a political sickness inside of it. A tumor that needs to be removed. You and your company are in need of revenue... that is dying up. So... you built the torus. Can you override the servers and place a new president in power?

John Carlyle:
A coup?... Are you suggesting a coup?

Delacourt:
Is it possible?

John Carlyle:
I could write a reboot sequence and shut down the entire system. And at that point... you could encode a new president, yes.

Delacourt:
Then that is what you will do. And you will have your contract secured for the next 200 years. Missile defense batteries, droids. Everything we need to protect our liberty. All guaranteed, of course, by your new president. [walks away]
