Oh, that's just me a long time ago. I like to have him around from time to time. Hey, I have to show you something. This, uh... Come on. This is the button. If you push it, the whole simulation shuts down and a tapeworm program will erase all of the backup servers. So you now have the power to turn the OASIS off forever. Do you understand?

I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I just didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid for all of my life. Right up until the day I knew my life was ending.

HALLIDAY: Well, I expect you have to go. I know I do. So, now is the time for you to receive your prize because you won all three keys. Once you take this egg, the game will be over. The egg, the egg...

(PANTING) Yeah, try not to accidentally erase the whole of the OASIS on your first day.

Now, who do we have here? Oh. Well, look who it is. It's my heroes, the High Five. -You must be Art3mis. -Samantha. WADE: The High Five took over the OASIS, and the first thing we did was sign Ogden Morrow to a non-exclusive consultancy. The salary, per his demand, was 25 cents. One quarter. (COIN CLINKS) With his guidance, our second move was to ban any loyalty centers from accessing the OASIS. IOI had no choice. They shut 'em all down. The third thing we did wasn't as popular. We closed the OASIS on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I know, it sounds like a weird move, but people need to spend more time in the real world. 'Cause, like Halliday said, reality is the only thing that's real.

(CLEARS THROAT) You know, Jim used to say the OASIS was never supposed to be a one-player game.
