:17:02
No, I'm not sure that I do.
:17:04
Getting a bio-port fitted.
:17:08
I don't know. I can't do it.
:17:11
It's too freaky.
Makes my skin crawl.
:17:14
They just pop your spine
with a little hydro-gun.
:17:17
They shoot the port plug into it.
:17:20
It's like getting your ears pierced.
:17:22
With only an infinitesimal
chance of permanent spinal paralysis.
:17:26
-I've read all about it.
-It's your chosen profession.
:17:31
Besides, once you're ported...
:17:34
...there's no end to the games
you can play.
:17:37
You can't seriously wanna
play games now.
:17:41
Not here. Not while we're being
hunted down by crazy people.
:17:52
My baby here took a huge hit
in the church, Pikul.
:17:56
One of those UmbyCords
got ripped out of her.
:17:59
Ripped out of her.
:18:01
Just as the game architecture was being
downloaded from her to the slave pods.
:18:07
That's a very vulnerable time for her.
:18:11
She could be crying out
for help right here...
:18:15
...right now.
:18:18
The only way I can tell...
:18:21
...if the game's
not been contaminated...
:18:24
...the pod is not about to be crippled
for life because of my negligence...
:18:32
...is to play eXistenZ...
:18:35
...with somebody friendly.
:18:40
Are you friendly?
:18:42
Or are you not?
:18:49
Sure.
:18:53
Let's do it.
:18:56
Let's do it now.
:18:59
Let me see.
