I had to make the offer. The board expected it, but I was really hoping you'd say no. Because if anyone's gonna win this competition, it's me. My avatar gets the egg 'cause I'm the only one here with the balls to run this place. Wow, you really switched gears there. From fairly reasonable to maniacal overlord. You should be grateful, Wade. You won't be around to endure my maniacal reign. Yeah, that's right. I know who you are. Wade Owen Watts, born August 12, 2027. I also know where you are. Unit 56K, Columbus stacks. You were last seen entering your trailer three days ago. You haven't left since. WADE: What are you doing? You can't-- With all that's going on in the world, do you really think that anyone's gonna give a damn about an explosion in some ghetto trash rat warren in Columbus? (STAMMERS) Sorrento, don't do this. I'm not even there! Not for long.

But I don't think you and I would have the same plans. Well, I don't know about that. What, for the OASIS? I guess if you're not a John Hughes fan...

-Get out of here. -(GASPS) WOMAN 1: What a freak! WOMAN 2: I thought he was kind of cute. ART3MIS: Have you been here before? It's cool, right? I mean... -(PHONE RINGING) -So, what's the plan? Are you gonna kill their avatars? Zero them out? They're both here at The Distracted Globe. I can't talk. ART3MIS: The Distracted Globe was one of the first clubs Halliday created in the OASIS. That's common knowledge. But I double-checked and it turns out he started building it right after that moment you showed me. The date with Kira. Right, and she was a serious dancer. Maybe he thought he'd take her here, like on a virtual date. As if that ever works. So Halliday built it for her? But they never made it past the first date. So Halliday's the creator... Who hates his own creation. And the club is the thing he hates. And "A hidden key, a leap not taken"?

Is that Sorrento? WADE: Sorrento started as an intern. He claims he learned at the feet of the master. That's how he convinced IOI to create the Sixers for him, his Halliday knowledge. But ask Ogden Morrow? He says the only thing Sorrento actually knew about Halliday was how he liked his coffee. You could have, like, different tiers of accounts, like a gold member. A person could be silver, platinum, bronze. You know, depending on what they paid. You know, highest one maybe being "Water" because "OASIS," right? Hell of a latte. Can you fast-forward to the stuff about Halliday's date? What? Halliday actually went on a date?
