Who is this 'Parzival' and how the hell is he winning?
Sorrento:
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.
Corporate Businessman:
And yet, he's got the first key.
Sorrento:
Yeah, he has a key, but you have to get three of 'em to win the contest.

Loyalty division is reporting profits of 28%! F'Nale?

Debt Services dwarfs Hardware. Now, you really wanna talk to me about stock prices?
Corporate Businessman:
The shareholders won't be happy.
Sorrento:
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...
IOI Board Member:
All of this implies we win the contest.
Sorrento:
[looks up to him]
Indeed, it does.
