Whoopi Goldberg as Theresa "Terry" Doolittle: The movie's main character. He appeals to Terry to help him return home safely, sending her on wacky and dangerous adventures all over New York, the most memorable being breaking into a British Consulate Ball and having her dress caught in a paper shredder and being dragged through the streets of Manhattan while trapped in a phone booth. After several hours of fruitlessly searching the lyrics, Terry figures out the code-key is B-Flat (the key in which "Jumpin' Jack Flash" is supposedly written in - in reality the song is actually recorded in the key of B). Terry, a huge fan of classic rock, figures that the key must be hidden somewhere in the lyrics to The Rolling Stones song. He tells her instead to "sing with me, and find the key".
In order to access his channel, Terry needs to type in Jack's code-key (a special password), however, because he is afraid of the KGB electronically eavesdropping on their conversation, Jack refuses to tell Terry his code-key. Jack tells Terry that he can only communicate with her via computer chat, and only over a private channel. One night she is contacted by a man calling himself "Jumpin' Jack Flash", who turns out to be a British Intelligence agent stuck in a hostile country in eastern Europe, and being pursued by the KGB. She is often told off by her boss James Page ( Peter Michael Goetz) for chatting in an informal manner with other bank computer workers around the globe.
