I'm doing this to stop IOI. I'm talking about real-world consequences. People suffering. -Actual life-and-death stuff. -I know. I know-- No, you don't know! My dad died in a loyalty center. He borrowed gear. (SNIFFLES) He built up debt. He moved in with the promise of working it off, but he never did. IOI just raised his living expenses, then he got sick, and he couldn't afford to get out. And then he died! I'm so sorry, I didn't-- No, you don't live in the real world, Z. From what you've told me, I don't think you ever have. You live inside this... This illusion, and I can't afford to let you distract me.

Who is this Parzival, and how the hell is he winning? Well, here's a better question. Who cares? Halliday's contest is vitally important. I mean, it's nothing less than a war for control of the future. But this Parzival? He's not even clanned up. He's alone. We have an army. EXECUTIVE: And yet, he's got the first key. Yeah, he has a key, but you have to get three of 'em to win the contest. Our stock dove 6% yesterday. Loyalty division is reporting profits of 28%. F'Nale. We're opening five new loyalty centers this month. Debt Services dwarfs Hardware. Now, you really wanna talk to me about stock prices? The shareholders won't be happy. It's not our job to make them happy. It's our job to make them money, but once we launch this little baby, they're gonna flip. We call this Pure O2. This is the first of our planned upgrades. Once we can roll back some of Halliday's ad restrictions, we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures, so picture this... All of this implies we win the contest. Indeed, it does. (MUSIC PLAYING) Dude, you won the key and 100,000 coins? As soon as I took the key, all the coins just appeared in my account. I'll tell you what, I'm soiling my haptics right now.

(STAMMERS) Where did you find an Iron Giant? AECH: Find it? I'm building it. That's a commission. WADE: Oh, yeah. Aech is top-rated on the mod boards. People all over the OASIS pay him serious coin. Oh, hey, check this out! AECH: Hey. Z, yo. -The Galactica, of course. -These are my babies, all right, man? Sulaco, from Aliens. Dude, how are you showing off my shit? Valley Forge, from Silent Running. Oh, where's the Harkonnen Drop-Ship? That thing is sick. Folds space like a boss. I mean, you can get from Incipio to Arrakis in three seconds... Fingers! You'll have to excuse him. He gets a little nervous around pretty girls. (SNAPS FINGERS)

This is what Sorrento should be seeing, but this... This is what we're making him see. We grabbed him in transit just as he was logging out of the OASIS, so he thinks he's back in his office in the real world. But actually, he's here, in the identical office that Aech built. SHO: So, you basically just remotely hacked his rig. AECH: A fixed rig like Sorrento's is easy to locate, hard to hack. WADE: Unless he's stupid enough to leave his password lying around. AECH: Loyalty center, I'm in. WADE: All right, let's get to work.

I only came here to escape the shitty hand that life dealt me. But I stayed, like many of you, because I found something much bigger than just myself. I found a cause.
