Typical action movie hacking scene:

    Leader: How long until you can hack the mainframe?
    Techie: The other hacker is really good; at least 2 hours.
    Leader: You have 1. Get it done!
    [commence flying around the 3d filesystem]
Whenever I watch a scene like this, I mentally add a voiceover for the techie:

    [Techie thinks]: My actual estimate was 20 minutes. I can probably get it done in about 50, then I need to fly in the 3d filesystem for 10 more minutes looking busy so Leader doesn't get any big ideas.
