Anorak • Halliday
- Halliday: I created the OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I just didn't know how to connect with people there. I was afraid for all my life, right up until the day I knew my life was ending. And that was when I realized that... as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also... the only place that... you can get a decent meal. Because, reality... is real.
- Anorak: In the form of my avatar, Anorak the all knowing. I created three keys. Three hidden challenges test worthy traits, revealing three hidden keys to three magic gates. And those with the skill to survive these strengths will reach the end, where the prize awaits.
- Halliday: Maybe we should stop talking about it and start showing it. If you all want to reach under your seats, you'll find there's nothing there.
- Anorak: The keys aren't just laying around under a rock somewhere. I suppose you could say they're invisible, hidden in a dark room that's at the centre of a maze, that's located somewhere up here.
- Anorak: [He enters Central Park] Nice racing, padawan. You're the first to finish.
- Parzival: [neels down stammering and looks at Anorak] M-Mr. Halliday. I... Anorak. It's such an honor.
- Anorak: The honor's all mine.
- [he holds the Copper Key and gives it to Parzival as he looks down]
- Anorak: Get yourself a clue.
