SHO: Dude! That's the Cataclyst. Now, personally, I don't care. I'd just as soon never set foot in the OASIS again, let alone have to deal with any of this absurdity. But I know how important Halliday's competition is to you, so... I will never let the future of the OASIS rest in your hands, Nolan Sorrento. Well, that's fine. Three easy steps. One. Wait, I thought you were bluffing. You know that kills all of us, right? I've got 10 years' worth of shit inside of me. Last chance. Two. I'm not goin' out like that. That's a camper move. You don't even know how to activate an orb. (WADE GRUNTS)

(IN BRITISH ACCENT) Well played, Parzival. (IN NORMAL VOICE) Jim told me nothing about the contest, so there was no rule about me losing a bet to a smart kid. Not that you needed my help. You figured out that Kira was the key on your own. Yeah, but... Kira wasn't the key.

Mr. Morrow... I mean, Og, how'd you get here so fast? I flew from the stars on my magic sleigh. (CHUCKLES) Everyone's been watching. Of course, I've been watching a little closer than most. You? You're the Curator?
