"The last fragment of a once living planet." "Its body blasted into dust by the madness of its own inhabitants, while its head was cursed to roam aimlessly through time and space, screaming in pain and sorrow." "In legend and in fact, it is known as" "Metal Hurlant." "Metal Hurlant Chronicles 2x06" " Back To Reality" "Uh, Mister..." "Uh, Mr. Wilk." "Norman." "Call me norman." "All right." "You're sure this is safe, right?" " Relax." " Okay." "Be prepared to experience your wildest dream." "I promise you'll come back a changed man." "With guys, the first time is always about courage and heroism." "Ah, I really got the feeling that I was there." "You know?" "It's almost as if" "I could feel the impacts on my body." "Oh, god." "Wonderful." "I'd love to deepen the experience." "I told you." "Virtual reality becomes real." "Satisfaction guaranteed." "Or your money back." "Oh, you know what?" "You know what?" "Say no more." "I know exactly what's on your mind." "After the adventure, the thrill of the action, there's nothing better than diving into the arms of a lady." "More pills?" "Yes." "They will help you focus your brainwaves." "Especially if you want a perfect simulation." "As soon as they understand the possibilities, sex is always the second choice." "Looks like you're ready to go." "I want to be a knight." "Now this is entertainment." "The best is yet to come." "Does anyone care to place a wager?" "How absolutely thrilling." "Can't wait to see how he will disarm his brother." "Maybe he's got a surprise up his sleeve." "Ah, this is definitely a day" "I will not soon forget." "Right." "Well, see you next week." "Of course." "Flo, you were perfect." "He really thought I was a chaste virgin?" "Yep." "I hope they had the clap during the age of courtly love." "'mean, that's what your last client gave me, so..." "Don't worry." "I promised him a larger than life experience." "How can someone be so stupid?" "The wonders of modern pharmacology." "Women always look for romance." "Kiss me, my love." "I don't know if I can, my dear." "Our love, I'm afraid is impossible." "Kiss me." "I'm yours." "That was..." "Amazing." "Tasty, yeah." "Uh, so I put you down for next tuesday." "Yeah." "Yeah." "That would be great." "My god, I hate my life." "I hate my job." "And I hate my boss." "My god, I hate him so much." "Who's the idiot who hired an analyst with such clumsy hands?" "You're stupid, Summers." "Stupid, stupid!" "Do me a favor, for once in your life," "Try to do your job without falling on your ass." "Lana, why isn't that file ready yet?" "Do you really think that "w" core doesn't have their files prepared?" "Between you and Summers, I'll tell you what," "I really hit the jackpot." "We'll have you two mate, then we'll send your offspring to China." "That'll stop their productivity once and for all." "Damn it!" "I'm really getting sick of your crap!" "After the sex, violence usually follows." "It will be a larger than life experience." "You'll feel so much better afterwards." "Bauman had this coming for a long time." "What the hell are you doing here?" "What I always wanted to do." "Freeze." "Drop your weapon now." "Hands in the air." "What's going on?" "Okay, that's enough." "I want to wake up now." "Wait... wait." "You don't understand." "This is not reality." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Don't you hear what I'm telling you?" "This is not reality!" "You're hurting me." "Did I kill Bauman?" "Did I...?" "Now that's entertainment." "Forgive me." "Lana." "This is such a bad timing." "Yeah, but I've had a dream." "It was, uh..." "Forgive me." "Unbelievable." " Oh, really?" " Yeah." "Take a seat." "Oh, there was my boss, a colleague, and blood." "Plenty of blood." "He killed him." "Striking him in front of everybody." "Yes indeed." "A special day." "You should have seen him." "He was, like, liberated." "It's horrible, anyway, because the company will have to shut down." "And it happened so fast." "Just at the same time as our foreign competitors are moving in to the same field." "Do you really think that "w" core doesn't have their files prepared?" "I'm going to lose my job." "But..." "Lana." "Yeah?" "Stop thinking about them." "Just enjoy." "Very good." "I wonder how it feels." "To fly." "Well, this is definitely less romantic." "Have you ever wondered what it feels like to rob a bank?" "Must be violent." "But it's part of the fun." "The power, the fear, the adrenaline." "Robbing and looting is one of the most popular simulations." "All you need is this." "Take the diamonds." "I'll take the diamonds." "As agreed, you bring them back to me." "The machine is on course." "Well, this is unexpected." "My...god." "They really got me." "Stanley, now that you're here, can you tell us how it all started?" "Well..." "Uh, at first I admit" "I was struck by the way he shared his experience." "Uh, he was so easy." "Flo, how did you end up working with this Norman?" "It didn't happen all at once." "It all started at a regular party." "Initially, I fell for his charm." "Then one thing led to another." "Lana, what are your conclusions regarding your experience?" "My conclusions?" "Murder by mental manipulation." "Orchestrated suicide, corporate sabotage." "The list goes on and on." "The applicant is a lost case." "That's what I thought." "Let's go see our client." "Is he awake?" "No." "He has received the visual stimulus, but he should emerge from his parabolic sleep in over a minute, so..." "His vitals are stable, and the complete record of the simulation is now available." "All right." "It doesn't look good for your client, sir." "Your freedom simulation doesn't prove anything." "The purpose of the simulation is to assess." "In this case, the risk is too high." "My head is about to explode." "So?" "You did great, Norman." "Parole denied." "But we have an alternative use for you." "Thank you, gentlemen." "Take him to the recycling section." "No." "No, that's not right." "No, I can do better." "I can be rehabilitated." "Give me another chance." "Next." "How many more are there to go?" "Ooh, a whole bunch of 'em." "It's gonna be a long night." "Thanks for watching this season !"
