Punch in

Hello,

Sam: What you think of Hell is what's called the Nine Circles, the, uh, conturbation where everyone gets tortured during punch in. But outside the Nine Circles is an infinite chain of islands we call, "Nowhere." And it's what you're in now. God's coloring book, I guess you could say? Everything comes from the abstract, the abyss.

How can I interpret “punch in” here?

I suppose that "conturbation" is a typo for "conurbation". I would guess that "punch in" means "arrival" (the reference is to the way that people formerly used to register their arrival at work in the morning, by inserting a card into a machine and having it "punched"). As a noun, I would hyphenate it: "punch-in".

It seems that "What you think of **** ..." is a mistake for "What you thi
