eXistenZ Page #2

and you've never played my games?

You've never played any game?

Iook.

I've been dying to play your games...

...but l have this phobia

about having my body penetrated...

...surgically.

You know what l mean.

No, l'm not sure that l do.

Getting a bio-port fitted.

I don't know. l can't do it.

It's too freaky.

Makes my skin crawl.

They just pop your spine

with a little hydro-gun.

They shoot the port plug into it.

It's like getting your ears pierced.

With only an infinitesimal

chance of permanent spinal paralysis.

-l've read all about it.

-lt's your chosen profession.

Besides, once you're ported...

...there's no end to the games

you can play.

You can't seriously wanna

play games now.

Not here. Not while we're being

hunted down by crazy people.

My baby here took a huge hit

in the church, Pikul.

One of those UmbyCords

got ripped out of her.

Ripped out of her.

Just as the game architecture was being

downloaded from her to the slave pods.

That's a very vulnerable time for her.

She could be crying out

for help right here...

...right now.

The only way l can tell...

...if the game's

not been contaminated...

...the pod is not about to be crippled

for life because of my negligence...

...is to play eXistenZ...

...with somebody friendly.

Are you friendly?

Or are you not?

Sure.

Iet's do it.

Iet's do it now.

Iet me see.

To get an illegal...

...unregistered bio-port installed...

...at about midnight...

...we just drive up to your local

country gas station, right?

Anything else l can do for you?

Well, Gas...

...you could check

your bio-port plugs.

The what? Spark plugs?

You heard me.

My friend here

has a bio-port problem.

A bio-port. Now...

...that's a sort of hole

in your spine, isn't it?

Iots of a**holes around here,

but that's generally it.

I don't know why you'd be

talking to me about that, lady.

Sure you do.

Allegra Geller.

You've changed my life.

What was your life like before?

Before?

Before it was changed

by Allegra Geller.

I operated a gas station.

You still operate a gas station.

Only on the most pathetic

level of reality.

Geller's work liberated me.

Iiberated?

Did you ever play her game ArtGod?

One word. Capital "A."

Capital "G."

I don't have a bio-port.

"Thou, the player of the game, art God."

Very spiritual.

Funny too.

God, the artist, the mechanic.

Funny.

Here we go.

Those are sterilized...

...aren't they?

Not to worry.

You could fire in a bio-port

in a slaughterhouse...

...and never generate an infection.

Then why the clean overalls?

It's a mental thing.

Helps me focus.

The one thing you don't wanna do

is miss with the stud-finder.
