Mmm, yeah.
Get out !
Stay out,
you fat gimp !
We don't want
your kind here.
I know,
you can't believe it.
Saturday night and
little ol' me without a date.
He's been
dreaming of me.
Could've been a contender
if he only had the guts.
Sometimes the best girls
are left out in the cold.
Beauty can be
so intimidating to a man.
But don't worry
about me.
I'll find someone.
For some, love might
best be found
in a place far from the beating hearts
of the real world.
It's a place
even deeper inside us
that holds the secrets
of who we really are.
Let me show you
how to get there.
Care to chat?
You're very beautiful.
Get lost.
Cup of
scsi with rom.
Want to get
a private room?
You have a strong
capacity for love.
You can
sense that?
I feel it.
Love can travel
through the wires
if you have enough
bandwidth.
I feel it too.
They say in here
you reflect what
you are on the inside.
If that's true,
you must have a gentle heart.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
It's just that
I've never heard
such kind words before.
In the real world
you'd never see my heart
beneath the image
of my body.
I hear ya.
But when I scan you,
all I see is someone
with a whole lot of love
and no one
to share it with.
Sometimes
I close my eyes and dream
that there was a way I'd never have
to go back to the real world,
Only here
with you
am I at peace.
What is it?
Something wrong?
Hey, Alice,
You in there?!
Alice! C'mon, babe,
don't do this to me!
I'll be back.
-No, wait!
-Check out.
Let him in.
Good evening.
Disconnecting from the neural-net.
Resume schedule ?
No, I'm too tired.
You were online
12 hours 21 minutes.
Recommended exposure
to v.r.
is no more
than five hours.
I know, I know, all I need
Is a little sleep mode.
How come
you ran off?
I thought we were having
fun at the party.
You were having fun. I was miserable.
So you ditch me to spend the whole night
in the cyber-world ?
At least they don't
treat me like shit.
In there, people
are kind and gentle.
What? You got some
cyber sweetheart ?
Or you just buzzing off with any
avatar that comes along ?
You wouldn't understand.
You damn right,
I don't understand!
Nobody walks out
on Jake !
There's no reason
to be upset.
We can still
see to it
this evening
Isn't a total bust.
Go on,
it's a present.
You'll like it.
A free skin job,
how sweet of you.
I just wanna
make you happy.
I know it can really
perk up a gal's self-esteem
to get a makeover
now and then.
How cute.
You want a little plastic
girlie doll to play with.
Maybe they can remove
that chip off your shoulder.
I don't get it.
I give you
everything you want.
Fancy clothes,
jewelry, the condo.
All I ask in return
is that you be on my arm
at certain
social occasions.
I'm sick of being
your play thing, Jake.
I'd rather die.
It's a shame a beauty like this
should go to waste.
If only
there was some way
to get rid of
the bitch inside!
Get out of here, Jake!
I don't think I ever
wanna see you again!
You shouldn't be thinking
at all, you dumb broad!
You should be grateful!
I could have any woman I want!
Then hire
one of them !
This job sucks.
Goodnight.
Alright, you wanna play games
on your little toy, go ahead.
We'll see how good
you really are.
Resume program.
I'm sorry,
I couldn't wait.
I'll log on again tomorrow,
same time.
Listen, if you really
meant what you said
About leaving
the real world
There may be a way.
It's called
a brain scan.
I shouldn't be telling you this,
it's too dangerous.
No, please, tell me,
I want to know !
Can I help you ?
Maybe.
Are you some kind
of war hero ?
The heroes all died,
I'm just a survivor.
What can I
do for you ?
I hear you're the best v.i.
in the business.
I hear you wrote the code
on the neural-net.
Some of it.
I don't get much
walk-in traffic.
Yeah,
big surprise.
Well, this thing
requires a delicate touch.
-Pretty girl.
-Yeah, my fiancée.
She died two weeks ago.
Nasty accident.
I'm sorry, but, I don't work
in the real world.
My practice
is strictly virtual.
Yeah,
that's the thing.
She created an avatar
to keep me company
when I do business
on the net
and, well,
now that's she's gone,
I want it deleted.
And it doesn't
wanna be deleted?
That binary bitch has been
causing me some embarrassment.
What does this
avatar look like ?
It keeps changing,
hiding out.
Last I heard, it was hanging
around a place called "Charlie's".
I know it.
You sure she's dead ?
You know the consequences
of deleting an avatar when it's in use?
No, do tell.
They say it fries
the user's soul,
Renders it
a blank slate.
No more feeling
than a lump of clay.
You don't say.
I'm running a search for your fiancée's
proxy but it could take a while.
In the meantime,
we could do some recon.
Is this what
you do all day ?
Not much of
a social life, huh ?
What's that ?
Proprietary neural-net
search software.
You wrote this ?
You got an avatar ?
Just coded one.
Plug me in, man.
Nice suit.
Shark skin ?
I hired you to track a program.
Let's go.
It's here somewhere,
I can smell it.
Care for
a cocktail ?
Stick by me and keep
your big mouth shut.
Hey, mac.
We're looking for
a rogue avatar.
It looks like a French maid,
but it might be mutating.
Seen anything
like that?
Do I look
like I care?!
Listen up, you mewling
puke face, mouse-kisser!
Tell me where she is
or I'll bite your head off!
Very tactful.
From now on just let
me do the talking.
That's her!
Check out
both of us!
What the hell
did you do that for?!
-I almost had her!
-"Her"? You mean, "it", don't you ?
Whatever. Don't tell me you're one of
those bleeding hearts
who thinks programs
have feelings.
It's a very
sophisticated code.
I don't give a shit.
I want that bitch erased, you got it ?
Take your goddamn money, mister.
I got no business with you.
You fat fuck.
I don't need you.
I'll take this
and erase her myself.
I got
you now, baby.
Subject identified.
Alice Kerchief,
is she dead ?
-Negative.
-Shit, call her, warn her to check out!
Subject access
is blocked.
Attempting to break in.
There is
a marker for you
in net sector
three triple zero.
Take me there.
Still looking
for that rogue avatar ?
-You seen her?
-She came back, left you this.
It's security locked.
C'mon, baby,
break it !
Code established.
I can't believe
you brought Jake here.
Was it all
just a set up ?
Then why don't
I believe it ?
I don't know
if I can trust you.
But if you really
meant what you said
Then take the t-1 to
system central mainframe.
What were you doing with Jake ?
Tell me !
Jake hired me
to delete a rogue avatar.
I had no idea
it was you.
Jake, he's--
He's trying to kill you
by burning your memory.
Just so he can
possess my body ?
How long have you
been online ?
I never
logged off.
You gotta
check out now !
I'm not
going back.
You said
there was a way.
A way
to stay inside.
Aah !
I got you now,
bitch.
And your lard-ass
boyfriend, too.
Power spikes can cause
neurological damage.
No shit.
Where are we ?
Unused block. This is where the server
debugs the system
and deletes unused
file fragments.
It's too dangerous
to hang around here.
I can't
I'm fading fast.
Can you run diagnostic
on subject human ?
Accessing system
Alice Kerchief.
Subject human
is code blue.
Alice, hear me.
You gotta cut loose or you'll die !
Now pull the plug !
No, it's better
this way.
All he wants
is my body.
Warning,
defrag program running.
-Can you crack it?
-Negative, encryption exceeds NSA specs.
I need more bandwidth! Use reserve
power and double the clock speed!
Engaging.
Clock speed maximum.
-What's happening?
-Hold on, I'm coming!
Hey, v.i. man.
You want a piece of me ?
Program interrupt
Delta nine.
Ahh !
Ahh !
I love you, champ.
End program,
interrupt delta nine !
Ahh !
Hold on!
Don't worry,
I've got you !
Decompress
subject avatar.
-Watch out!
-Emergency procedure!
Premier one!
Bye, champ.
Argh !
Hey, Alice,
you in there ?
Alice ?!
Good evening.
Alice?
Alright,
it worked !
It worked !
The bitch is gone,
but the party's still on !
C'mere, baby, I got
something for ya.
Oh, yeah,
just the way I like it.
Shit !
What the--
What's going on ?!
Shit, shit !
Goddamnit!
You can't do this to me !
What a shame.
Oh, well,
that's the breaks, kiddo.
But, hey, there's plenty more
where she came from.
- Hello.
- Donna.
Yeah, it's
your main man, Jake.
Jake, where have
you been hiding ?
-As it just so happens,
I'm free tonight.
Goodnight.
It worked! It worked !
It's okay! Our programs are running!
How do you feel?
Wonderful.
There was this flash of light.
What happened?
Brain scan.
A program
I wrote years ago
but I never had
the guts to use it
until I met you.
So we never have to go back
to our real bodies ?
Never.
It takes
a true connection
to spark in each of us
that special glow.
Some say
it's a delusion,
a digital dream.
But is it always
the masquerade it seems?
Or could it be
a brave new world
where people
are judged
solely by the beauty
of their character ?
You were
incredible.
What'd I tell ya ?
Raven's never
without a date for long.
