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.

It was you, Mr. Morrow.

You were the rose bud.

And Halliday's

biggest regret was...

losing his only friend.

You know Jim used to say the OASIS was

never supposed to be a one player game.

Now... Who do we have here?

Look who it is.

It's my heroes, 'The High FIVE'.

- You must be Art3mis?

- Samantha.

'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.

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 close 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.

Because like Halliday said:

Reality is the only thing...

that's real.
