(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)

-Favorite shooter? -Excuse me? James Halliday's favorite first-person shooter. -What? -Oh. GoldenEye. -Playing as? -Oddjob. Is this a test? Favorite game variant? Game variant was "slappers only." No weapons. I know what "slappers only" means. Racer? Turbo. And his favorite food was Hot Pockets. Favorite restaurant was Chuck E Cheese. Song was Video Killed the Radio Star by the Buggles. Video wTake on Me by A-ha. Oh, oh... His favorite quote was from Superman. "Some people can read War and Peace "and come away thinking it's a simple adventure story..." "Others can read the ingredients on the back of a chewing-gum wrapper "and unlock the secrets of the universe." Lex Luthor. (CHUCKLES) Cool. What would you do? If you won. The whole contest, I mean. Oh! I mean, I've got tons of plans in the real world. I'd... I'd move into a huge mansion, buy a bunch of cool shit, not be poor.

Now I know why you stopped short. I stopped because of Kong. No one ever makes it past Kong. That... That's... That's, like, a rule. Well, then you know it can't be true. Because Halliday hated making rules. I can't afford to zero out. -You're afraid to lose your shit. -No, I'm not! What happens when IOI offers you guaranteed coin for the keys to the kingdom? Nolan Sorrento takes over the world. A real gunter would risk everything to save the OASIS from IOI. Who said that? Me.

So you lost a death match. Why don't you just respawn and level up like everyone else? You don't get it. I bought all these power-ups for this challenge, and I lost it all. That artifact was gonna pay for the house! AUNT ALICE: Wait. How much of our house money did you spend on upgrades? Well, all of it, but I was gonna win. (SIGHS) That was our ticket out of here.

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.

When it was a game. And we're back to where we started. But that's the point, isn't it? Things move forward whether you like it or not. Yeah, we're finished. MORROW: (SCOFFS) Fine.
