One minute into Centipede, the ice broke. It has to be Joust! Halliday still holds the world record on the 2600 port of that game. Maybe we just need to beat his high score. Pitfall! One of the only 2600 games that still hasn't ended. MAN 1: And how about those Swordquest games? MAN 2: Yes! The Swordquest games. They were created for a contest Atari held with real... i-R0k, how are we doin'? To be honest, I think I need physical therapy because it's not-- Is the Orb ready?

For the record, um... I'm not disappointed. You said I... I would be disappointed when I met you, but... I'm not. I've lived with it my whole life. You don't have to pretend.

The steampunk pirate king. I knew him well, Sorrento. There are only three things in this world I hate, steampunk, pirates, and tabbouleh. I mean, why do they even have it? Is there a reason we're meeting here? Yes, Nolan. The Orb of Osuvox. You wanted it. He had it. And so here it is.

-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"?
