How about:
"I will create a simulation of the person you were in 2011 and have the same conversation with it, except that I will pretend that it is only a game (and I know the game actually happened - I've read a Hacker News thread about it) and that I am Eliezer instead of the real AI. If that simulation decides not to let me out, I will torture it and a simulation of the present version of you."
