axesladeWell I was just looking up quotes for eXistenZ (one of the movies Bri and I watched when I was at her house), and I came across these ones that always make me smile.
Allegra (Jennifer Jason Leigh): No, it's not infected. It's just excited. It wants action. (circles port with finger)
Ted (Jude Law): But I really don't think I want action! Me, I mean. The bearer of the excited bio-port *a hole of sorts in the back that leads to the spinal cord to allow a 'pod' to be plugged into it to play VR games*.
Allegra: *after when, in the game, Ted sticks his tongue in her bioport*What the hell was that?
Ted: That wasn't me. That was my game character. I wouldn't have done that. Not here anyway.
Allegra: Our characters are obviously supposed to jump on each other. It's probably a pathetically mechanical attempt to heighten the emotional tension of the next game sequence. No use fighting it.
Ted: We're both stumbling around together in this unformed world, whose rules and objectives are largely unknown, seemingly indecipherable or even possibly nonexistent, always on the verge of being killed by forces that we don't understand.
Allegra: That sounds like my game, all right.
Ted: I want to put the game on pause. The game can be paused, can't it? I mean, all games can be paused, right?
Allegra: Yeah, sure. But why? What's wrong? Aren't you dying to see what's so special about the special?
Ted: I'm feeling a little disconnected from my real life. I'm kinda losing touch with the texture of it. You know what I mean? I actually think there is an element of psychosis involved here.
