Two memorable characters:
- in The Core (a recent movie) --- "Rat", an über-hacker played by D. J. Qualls. His best line: "I'll need an unlimited supply of Xena tapes and hot pockets." ...
- in The Snarkout Boys and the Avocado of Death and The Snarkout Boys and the Baconburg Horror (by Daniel Pinkwater) --- "Rat", aka Bentley Saunders Harrison Matthews, rich girl, automobile mechanic genius, fan of James Dean and beat poetry ...
And I shouldn't forget King Rat, James Clavell's first novel ...
