Nosedive

Black Mirror 3×1

& Lacie: 3.1? What happened?

& Co-worker: Of course, if it drops below two-five, then it’s... bye-bye.

& RE Agent: A little more than expected?.. There’s options. You know our Prime Influencers Programme?
    Lacie: Do I qualify for that?
    RE Agent: No. No, you don’t. We’d need you around a 4.5.
    Lacie: 4.5?
    RE Agent: Hit 4.5 and there’s a 20% discount.

& Ratings Consultant: Let’s check on your sphere of influence. Let me zoom out here... Great peripherals. Strangers like you, that’s a plus. Healthy inner circle. It’s good. There’s a ways to go, but 4.5 is certainly achievable.

& Ratings Consultant: Well... Most of your interactions are confined to your inner circle and they’re largely, pardon the term... mid-to low-range folks. Same with your outer circle. You’ve got a ton of reciprocal five stars from service industry workers, but there’s not much else.

& Lacie: Quality people?
    Ratings Consultant: High fours. Impress those up-scale folks, you’ll gain velocity on your arc... and there’s your boost.

& Ratings Consultant: Don’t try too hard. It’s impossible to respect. High fours can smell it a mile off. Just be you. Authentic gestures, that’s the key.

& Lacie: In this world, we’re all so caught up in our own heads. It’s easy to lose sight of what’s real. What matters...

& Ryan: High fours like Naomi, I bet they’re suicidal on the inside!

& Hannah: I see there’s one standby seat on another plane leaving tonight. Uh... That’s reserved for members of our Prime Flight Programme. You gotta be a 4.2 or over to qualify.
    Lacie: Oh, I’m... I’m a 4.2.
    Hannah: Uh-huh. I’m afraid you’re actually a 4.183.

& Lacie: Call the fucking supervisor!
    Hannah: Okay, that’s profanity. We’re zero tolerance on profanity.

& Hannah: What’s the issue here, Hannah?
    Security Guard: Intimidation and profanity.
    Lacie: Oh, no, no. I was not intimidating.
    Security Guard: Don’t speak, ma’am... Okay. So, in order to restore calm, I’m invoking my authority as airport security to dock you one full ranking point as a punitive measure. This is a temporary measure.
    Lacie: No!
    Security Guard: Your score reverts to normal in 24 hours... During this period, all down votes are subject to a times two multiplier. We recommend you avoid negative feedback at this time... Please, remove yourself from the airport immediately.

& Rental car clerk: Well, due to your current ranking, you’re restricted to our super saver fleet. Yep. That’s... Yeah. I-Cruiser 2?
    Lacie: They still have the 2?

& Susan: Checking my feed for danger signs? I get it a lot. 1.4 gotta be an antisocial maniac, right?

& Lacie: You said you wanted your oldest friend!
    Naomi: When I asked you to speak, you were a 4.2, okay? And the authenticity of a vintage bond low four at a gathering of this calibre played fantastically on all the stimulations we ran. Forecast was a prestige bounce of 2 minimum. But now you’re a sub three. Sorry.

& Lacie: So it was just about numbers for you?
    Naomi: Oh, cut the shit! It was numbers for both of us.

& Lacie: You look like an alcoholic former weatherman.
    Jailmate: You sound like a lost little lamb that just got told there’s no Santa Claus.
    Lacie: What sort of cartoon character did your mum have to fuck to brew you up in the womb?
    Jailmate: At least I look like I was born, not shit out by some tormented cow creature in an underground lab.
    Lacie: You got tossed out of that lab. Oh, yeah, flushed out. In the trash! Your face is a fucking... Fucking biological car crash that made Picasso screw his eyes up and say, «Well, that just don’t make sense.»
    Jailmate: You’re a fucking asshole.
    Lacie: Fuck you!
    Jailmate: Fuck you next Wednesday.
    Lacie: Fuck you for Christmas!
