Man, the last time

you asked that,

your melon damn near

split open.

[SIGHS]

We're being used.

Human lab rats.

How is this possible?

Are you kidding me?

pretty much everything.

Now he owns us too.

The space inside our heads.

Hi, my name is Carter Burke.

And if you're a man of class,

a man of distinction...

Hi, my name is Carter Burke.

And if you're a man of class,

a man of distinction,

a man who values quality

above all else...

Whoa, whoa, hold it.

I got some advice for you.

The ads you've been seeing,

they don't ever let up

until you buy

whatever crap it is

they selling.

Now, me, I ain't got no money.

So I'm having to steal the sh*t.

That works too.

Trust me.

It's the only way

to make them stop.

[MAN ON MONITOR]:

Gentlemen, there is a potential

security breach in Project 660.

Subject 373 received

a class-one implant

on January 7th.

Initiation was successful.

Subject's reaction

to initial uploads

of real-time

audiovisual stimuli

was within normative range.

As in 48.6 percent

of all other cases,

multiple uploads

had to be broadcast

to gain full compliance.

Then last night,

at 2300 hours,

Subject 373 questioned

the implant

and a warning pulse

was activated

as per standard operating

procedure.

Two hours later, subject

successfully acquired product

by extralegal means

and was confronted

by security personnel.
