Wow. I mean, this store doesn't even open for two days.

MANDI: Freeyond fever.

I hear they only have enough for the first ten million uploads.

And they're all reserved for single moms, the handicapped,

the poorest of the poor.

WOMAN: Better get in line fast, hon.

There's thousands of stores, and when they run out,

they run out.

-How old is your baby? -14 months.

But this is her only chance to live forever.

-This world's going to shit anyway. -Tell me about it.

Wi-Fi speeds are so slow downtown.

Wow, look.

MANDI: Check it out.

It actually looks like a bargain.

NORA: Yeah. You know, my friend was going to make something

just like this.

And some bad people were trying to stop the idea.

I guess they couldn't.

He sounds for real.

Yeah, he's the most "for real" guy I've ever met.

Excited for the update?

Yeah, I guess. I mean, is it that big a deal?

Are you kidding?

-It's a huge deal. -LUKE: Fuck yeah.

For one thing, they're adding bitter,

citrus and umami to our tongues.

You didn't notice that we only have sweet and salty now?

That's why everything tastes like kettle corn.

Yeah, no, I haven't been paying attention.

I've been trying to work up the nerve to break up with Ingrid.

Yes! Did that guy who stole your company cut you in?

-How are you affording this? -Oh, Jamie?

No, I can't actually prove he did anything bad.

He just won't return my calls.

But, um, I think I'm gonna ask Ingrid

to give me till February,

and then figure something else out.

After you dump her?

Yeah.

I'm very interested

in how you see this playing out.

"Hey, Ingrid, I know you were expecting

"to get married, but I'd like to be free

"to date someone else.

And can I have $10,000?"

Yes, this should be good.

WHITBRIDGE: This update is very exciting.

Lakeview 8.9 "Scirocco" represents the fulfillment

of Horizen's slogan: "We are VR."

So, please, customer service angels

all around the world, give your full attention

to these important update messages

from head of I.T., Craig Munthers.

I'm gonna say this real slow because it's super important.

All of your uploads need to be asleep

during the update tonight.

Half of them are paying for trauma blocking,

and the update is... (exhales) powerful stuff.

It will remove all blocks if they are awake,

and you'll wake up to a screaming shit show

that my I.T. team doesn't want to clean up.

So, all sleepy...

no freaky.

Got it?

Over here, you got it?

We got it.

♪ ♪

Why we have Winter party not on Winter Day?

Because they combined it with the update

so they only have to pay once.

Remember Thankoween?

Horizen is cheap as fuck.

Soon, we're gonna have to pay to take the elevator.

So take stairs.

Strong calves are magnets for rich husbands.

I don't know if that's true.

So apparently, your boyfriend's girlfriend's rich daddy

is a big deal, and he called the head of Horizen,

and he got you your job back.

I don't know who you're talking about.

My boyfriend's name is Byron.

Yeah, it's quite serious.

And he has no influential friends.

I mean, that I can tell.

Oh, so you're bringing Byron to the update party tonight?

Of course.

That's weird. Have you told Nathan?

Why would I tell Mr. Brown?

Okay, good. Keep it up, sister.

You fuck up again and you're toast.

Do you feel me?

And good luck seeing your boyfriend again

if you're not on the system.

I'll give your avatar to fucking Batia!

My boyfriend's name is Byron.

Huh.

I can't wait to meet him.

I am going to go home and change.

Better be quick.

I made my famous pigs in a blanket,

and they'll go fast.

Oh, look, there they are.

Yummy.

Call Byron.

Hi.

(device buzzes)

Hey, Nora. Glad you called.

No, I'm not doing anything tonight.

Ingrid can erase you at any time.

Unless someone else takes over the payments.

Which, frankly, your mother can't afford.

Sam, what about 2Gig status? Isn't that pay-as-you-go?

Yeah. I mean, if you run out of money,

they can always freeze you until more cash is added.

Why don't you try this Freeyond that's in the news?

You're broke enough to qualify.

No, it's got to be Lakeview.

Dream on.

-Bye, Viv. -(chuckles)

Okay, what are our other options?

I could give Sam a roll in the hay.

He only hinted at it five times.

Ew, Mom, no.

What about Jamie? He must have money.

Even as a loan.

He's not returning my calls.

I don't understand that. He was your best friend.

Well, one thing's for sure.

You can't break up with Ingrid until you have a plan.

I have to, okay. I'm not a gigolo.

I'm trying to act with some integrity.

Screw integrity.

I was about to sleep with a lawyer to keep you alive.

Sorry.

Integrity is cool.

Jamie Arpaz.

JAMIE (recorded): This is Jamie. You know what to do.

(chimes)

Bro, um...

I hate to bring this up, but I'm pretty much

the Lakeview equivalent of homeless.

And somehow you ended up with our whole company.

I'm not saying that you fucked me, but, um...

I could use a hand.

So call me back, all right? I need to talk.

Not sure where you are right now.

Maybe you go somewhere tropical for Winter Weekend.

You've come a long way in a short time.

Just... call your old partner.

LUCY: You didn't like it? No?

Hi. Would you care for some pigs in a blanket?

-No, thanks. -Really? It's my specialty.

-Pigs in a blanket? -No, thank you.

Really? Okay.

(laughs): Wow.

Hey.

Good, you're here. (sighs)

Ah.

Hey, you like my scarf?

Probably cost five mil for the drapes alone.

They're not real, idiot.

-Where's Ingrid? -She's not here?

-Have you told her? -Not yet.

Greetings, Lakeview residents and honored guests,

who we hope will someday be Lakeview residents.

But maybe not too soon. (laughs)

To celebrate the update/Winter party,

we will have an egg hunt.

-Yes! -(cheers and applause)

LUCY: Mm-hmm.

Yes! Yes!

There is an egg hidden somewhere here in Lakeview,

and whoever finds it will get a million Lakeview bucks

and a thousand real bucks

-for their angel. -Whoo!

(cheers and applause)

No cheating, Angels!

We'll know.

So, go on, find that egg.

-(all clamoring) -Where could it be?

Did you look under the table?

Motherfucker, move!

I have student loans, and Pence University

wants their money, go!

-Split up? -If I find this,

I can be your sugar daddy,

and you can get off Ingrid's account.

My sugar daddy?

Nothing weird, I just don't know a better term for it.

I'm gonna look out by the lake.

-I have a hunch. -All right, all right.

Uh, I'll check the lounge.

Mom, Uncle Larry, let's find this thing.

-Yeah. -All right, go, go, go.

MAN: There you go.

I got it!

Oh, it's a fucking football.

Mom, wish me luck.

It would restore any memories anybody blocked or fucked with.

No.
