:17:00
...surgically.
:17:03
You know what l mean.
:17:06
No, l'm not sure that l do.
:17:08
Getting a bio-port fitted.
:17:12
I don't know. l can't do it.
:17:15
It's too freaky.
Makes my skin crawl.
:17:18
They just pop your spine
with a little hydro-gun.
:17:21
They shoot the port plug into it.
:17:24
It's like getting your ears pierced.
:17:26
With only an infinitesimal
chance of permanent spinal paralysis.
:17:29
-l've read all about it.
-lt's your chosen profession.
:17:35
Besides, once you're ported...
:17:38
...there's no end to the games
you can play.
:17:41
You can't seriously wanna
play games now.
:17:44
Not here. Not while we're being
hunted down by crazy people.
:17:55
My baby here took a huge hit
in the church, Pikul.
:17:59
One of those UmbyCords
got ripped out of her.
:18:02
Ripped out of her.
:18:05
Just as the game architecture was being
downloaded from her to the slave pods.
:18:11
That's a very vulnerable time for her.
:18:15
She could be crying out
for help right here...
:18:19
...right now.
:18:22
The only way l can tell...
:18:25
...if the game's
not been contaminated...
:18:28
...the pod is not about to be crippled
for life because of my negligence...
:18:35
...is to play eXistenZ...
:18:39
...with somebody friendly.
:18:44
Are you friendly?
:18:46
Or are you not?
:18:53
Sure.
:18:57
Iet's do it.
