Repo! The Genetic Opera Script - Dialogue Transcript

Repo! The Genetic Opera Script

  

  
Zydrate.

  
Repo

  
Out from the night,

  
from the mist, steps the figure.

  
No one really knows his name for sure.

  
He stands at 6'6" head and shoulders.

  
Pray he never comes
knocking at your door.

  
Say that you once bought a heart

  
or new corneas,

  
but somehow never managed
to square away your debts?

  
He won't bother to write or to phone you.

  
He'll just rip the still-beating heart
from your chest!

  
Repo

  
Man

  
- Repo
- Hey, come on. Quick.

  
Man

  
Now, you could run.

  
You could hide. You could try to.

  
But he always has a way of finding you.

  
He will come at your weakest hour,

  
when no one is around
who might rescue you.

  
Repo man

  
Repo man

  
And none of us are free
from this horror,

  
for many years ago, we all fell in debt.

  
New body parts were needed
to perfect our image,

  
and until our debts are clear,

  
we will live in fear of the...

  
Repo man

  
Vote no on Prop and keep repossessions legal.

  
If companies like GeneCo
couldn't repossess organs...

  
Vote no on Prop 598.

  
Tune in to tonight's Genetic Opera

  
to witness Mag's farewell performance.

  
... Genetic Opera

  
to witness Mag's farewell...

  
What is this?

  
You disgust me.

  
I'm sorry, Mr. Largo.

  
I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's terminal.

  
You don't have much time.

  
It's spreading rapidly.

  
Things you see

  
In a graveyard

  
Things you see

  
In a graveyard

  
Maggots. Vermin.

  
You want the world for nothing.

  
Commence your groveling.

  
Rotti, your king, is dying.

  
Even Rotti Largo cannot
prevent this passing.

  
Who will inherit GeneCo?

  
I'll keep those vultures guessing.

  
Things you see

  
In a graveyard

  
I'll keep those vultures guessing.

  
Things you see

  
In a graveyard

  
I'll keep those vultures guessing.

  
Guessing, guessing, guessing.

  
This will be quick

  
It's in my sight

  
I'll capture it

  
Then run back inside

  
And be back home in time

  
Industrialization

  
Has crippled the globe

  
Enjoy GeneCo's day and nighttime
formulas of Zydrate.

  
Nature failed as technology spread

  
Ask a gentern if Zydrate is right for you.

  
And in this wake, a market erected

  
Buying Zydrate
from an unlicensed source is illegal.

  
An entire city

  
Built on top of the dead

  
And you can finance

  
Your bones

  
And your kidneys

  
For every market a submarket grows

  
No.

  
But best you be punctual

  
With making your payments

  
Lest it be you on the concrete below

  
It's quick

  
It's clean

  
It's pure

  
It could change your life

  
Rest assured

  
It's the 21st century cure

  
And it's my job

  
To steal and rob

  
Graves!

  
No! Please, please, stop!

  
Stop!

  
Grave robbers on 7 I

  
Oh, no! No...

  
Lockdown! Lockdown!

  
Grave robbers on...

  
Oh, no!

  
No, no, no, no!

  
It's locked!

  
This way, kid.

  
Wait! You're going to get us caught!

  
Wait! Wait!

  
Jackpot!

  
So why care for these
petty obsessions?

  
Your designer heart still
beats with common blood

  
And what if you could
have genetic perfection?

  
Would you change
who you are if you could?

  
'Cause it's quick

  
It's clean

  
And it's pure

  
No. I shouldn't be here.

  
It could change your life

  
Rest assured

  
I have got to get home.

  
It's the 21st century

  
Cure!

  
This cannot be happening

  
And it's my job

  
To steal and rob

  
- Graves!
- No, no, no, please!

  
Grave robbers will be executed on sight.

  
Graves!

  
Let them go.

  
I didn't know. Please.

  
Hey!

  
I can't read.

  
I didn't know.

  
Blood pressure warning.

  
Blood pressure warning.

  
Medicate immediately.

  
Medicate immediately.

  
- Dad.
- Hey

  
It was a close one

  
Dad.

  
Too close

  
Dad, what happened?

  
You're gonna be all right

  
Now that's all that matters

  
Was I outside?

  
No, Shi

  
There were these bodies

  
You missed your medicine

  
And fell unconscious

  
- They were all dead.
- Nonsense.

  
Please be more cautious

  
You could go into shock

  
But it was real, Dad

  
I am the doctor, and I'm your father

  
I didn't imagine this

  
Please, Shilo, drop it

  
Couldn't have fathomed this

  
Please, Shilo, stop it.

  
Dad, I could smell the dead.

  
You could have died! You...

  
You scare me to death!

  
A blood disease

  
That took your dear mother from us

  
Passed from her and into your veins

  
I'd be lost if I were to lose you

  
I will stop at nothing to keep you safe

  
I'll take my meds, Dad

  
Don't you worry

  
Just until I find a cure

  
Your mother, rest her soul

  
Would be so proud of you

  
Though you cannot see her

  
She is here with you

  
We will always be there for you

  
In your time of need

  
Shilo, you're the world to me

  
Shilo, take your medicine.

  
I'm

  
Infected

  
I'm infected

  
By your genetics

  
Shilo, I'm the doctor

  
Shilo, I'm your father.

  
Oh, Shilo, that was close.

  
Take your medicine

  
I'm infected

  
By your genetics

  
I'm infected

  
By your genetics

  
And I don't think that I can be fixed

  
No, I don't think that I can be fixed

  
Tell me why, oh, why

  
Are my genetics such a bitch

  
It's this blood condition

  
Damn this blood condition

  
Mother, can you hear me?

  
Thanks for the disease

  
Now I am sequestered

  
Part of the collection

  
That's what is expected
when you are infected

  
That's what is expected
when you are infected

  
That's what is expected
when you are infected

  
How much of it's genetics?

  
How much of it is fate?

  
How much of it depends

  
On the choices that we make

  
He says I have a right to

  
I also inherit his shame

  
Is heredity the culprit?

  
Can I stop it, or am I a slave?

  
I want to go outside

  
Outside

  
I want to go

  
Outside

  
Outside

  
Ladies and gentlemen

  
Signore, signori

  
Don't you dare touch your TV

  
Tonight's genetic opera
is the place to be

  
That's right, friends!

  
Where did our daughter go?

  
It's me she must escape

  
My burdens I can't erase

  
The mother I might have saved

  
- Assassin
- Murder

  
Monster

  
Marni, I need you now

  
Look what I've become

  
The nightmare that she should fear

  
Is the father you left alone

  
The years roll by without you, Marni

  
17 have come and gone

  
I raised our Shilo with the best intentions

  
But there is something I can't tell her

  
I'm lost without you here

  
I am only living out a lie

  
Shilo can never leave

  
She is my everything

  
Nothing can bring you back

  
Shilo is all I have

  
- Assassin
- Murder

  
Monster

  
Years roll by without you, Marni

  
17 have come and gone

  
I raised our Shilo with the best intentions

  
There is something I can't tell her

  
I am lost without you here

  
I am only living out a lie

  
I'm the monster

  
Assassin

  
I'm the villain

  
Assassin

  
What perfection

  
Assassin

  
What precision

  
Assassin

  
Clean incisions I deliver

  
Unscathed organs I deliver

  
Repossessions I deliver

  
I'm the Repo

  
Legal assassin

  
The lungs and livers

  
And bladders and hearts

  
You always save a bundle

  
When you buy our GeneCo parts

  
Spleens, intestines,
and spines, and brains

  
All at warehouse prices

  
But our quality's the same

  
GeneCo

  
Mark it up

  
Mark it up

  
Mark it up

  
Mark it up

  
Where the fuck is Dad, brothers?

  
He left me in charge, sister!

  
I don't take lip from a

  
- Slut
- Cunt

  
My brother and sister should fuck

  
Pavi, shut the fuck up.

  
I'm the smartest and the toughest

  
I will find a hole and fuck it

  
If there ain't one, I will make one

  
Luigi don't take shit from no one

  
One brain, mark it up

  
Only I got brains enough

  
That's why Pop
will leave GeneCo to me

  
Me, me, me, me, me

  
Ask a gentern who they prefer

  
10 out of 9 will say the Pavi

  
The most dashing, panty snatching

  
I will leave your diapers dripping

  
Two hearts, mark it up

  
Pavi steals all of the hearts

  
You ain't got the guts, brother

  
All bark but no lungs, brother.

  
Dad will leave GeneCo to me

  
You wait

  
Time will tell

  
- Pavi's face...
- Luigi's fists...

  
...will rule you!
...will woo them all.

  
- When I inherit...
- I'll inherit...

  
All this stuff

  
Take Dad's will and write you out

  
Take my cut and mark it up

  
Mark it up, mark it up

  
Hi. I'm Blind Mag.

  
Your treasured memories
don't have to fade with time.

  
Announcing GeneCo's Cornea Plus.

  
GeneCo's breakthrough
optical technology

  
where everything is digitally recorded

  
so you can relive
your favorite memories

  
again and again.

  
Don't miss out
on tonight's genetic opera.

  
Oh, a message.

  
... from Rotti Largo.

  
Incoming message from Rotti Largo.

  
Shilo, you don't know me,

  
but your mother was once
very dear to me.

  
I can help you find your cure.

  
Meet me in your mother's tomb.

  
Ashes.

  
Dust.

  
My children were a bust.

  
They shall inherit nothing.

  
No, no.

  
My legacy is too great

  
to throw away on ingrates.

  
Nathan Wallace had potential

  
Till he stole my Marni away.

  
In denial, Nathan blamed himself

  
for Marni's sudden death,

  
and never once thought

  
to suspect the man
who wrote his checks.

  
I guess...
I'll take it to my death!

  
Things you see

  
In a graveyard

  
I'll take it to my death.

  
Marni, it's Rotti.

  
You never should have left me.

  
I would have given you the world.

  
It's been difficult to see you

  
after what you've
put me through.

  
You forced my hand and made me do...

  
Well, it looks like I'll be joining you.

  
It seems the man
who cured the globe

  
cannot stop his own extinction.

  
But I can go out with a bang!

  
No!

  
I can go out with a bang.

  
Things you see

  
- In a graveyard
- Blood pressure...

  
No, no, please!
I can't be outside.

  
I can't be outside!

  
Things you see

  
Blood pressure warning.

  
Medicate immediately.

  
Shilo, thanks for coming.

  
It's nice to see

  
Young talent blooming

  
My kids have been...

  
Well, disappointing.

  
I'm Rotti Largo.

  
I know.

  
I own GeneCo

  
Please let me go.

  
Sorry to be

  
So difficult

  
I had no choice

  
You're a tough one to find

  
Climbing through holes

  
Tell me, why do you hide...

  
- I'm not.
- Your pretty face?

  
I cannot be outside

  
I have a blood disease

  
But there is hope, an antidote

  
And you could be the first

  
To sample it, the GeneCo fix

  
To all blood diseases

  
And I can use someone like you

  
The poster child of progress

  
It's the cure you sought, Shilo

  
Your chance to see
the world, Shilo

  
In your grasp

  
I don't...

  
A function awaits.

  
Will you be my date?

  
I can't.

  
Blind Mag will be there.

  
- Mag?
- You two should meet

  
No.

  
I must leave

  
My dad will worry

  
Who says that Dad

  
Needs to know everything?

  
Repo man

  
I hate to do this

  
It's a thankless job

  
But somebody's got to do it

  
Penile tissue inch by inch

  
Skinnin' off the muscles slow

  
Harvesting the kidneys for the fall

  
Savin' up the livers in the fridge

  
No one ever thanks me
when I'm done

  
How self-absorbed people can be

  
With a slice

  
Or a snip

  
Eeny meeny miney moe

  
With a cut and a stitch

  
Returning organs good as new

  
It's a thankless job

  
But somebody's got to do it

  
Got to do it!

  
Like a mop!

  
Like a mop.

  
- And a broom.
- And a broom.

  
No one wants a thankless job

  
GeneCo's Digital Corneas

  
provide state-of-the-art resolution

  
and low density without sacrificing style.

  
Hi. I'm Blind Mag,

  
the Voice of GeneCo.

  
At GeneCo, an affordable
organ makeover

  
is just a simple financing away.

  
Take control of your life,

  
because it's what's
on the inside that counts.

  
Financed organs are subject

  
to all legal default remedies,

  
including new possession...

  
Sorry, folks. It'll be a long time

  
before GeneCo can
help you sing like Mag.

  
I don't know about you, Bob,

  
but I haven't been this excited

  
since my first elective surgery.

  
No doubt, Dick.
Excitement's in the air.

  
For one day a year only,

  
Sanitarian Square will open its gates

  
and welcome all of us

  
to its post-plague Italian Renaissance!

  
GeneCo's new Rome.

  
Ah, the cuisine, the music, the culture.

  
GeneCo provides the finest

  
in Italian-inspired body version.

  
Wow. This is turning into GeneCo's

  
most spectacular
and unpredictable event ever.

  
That's right, Dick.
Only a few short hours

  
until Blind Mag's final performance,

  
which is guaranteed to be talked about

  
for years and years to come.

  
Genterns

  
Genterns, they secure the finest skin graft

  
And stacked

  
Scalpel, needle, thread

  
That should do it

  
Okay, Mr. Largo,
want to see your new face?

  
Oh, it's so perfect!

  
Someone's going to hang
if I don't get my coffee!

  
Decaf?

  
I will shoot you in the face!

  
Sorry, Mr. Largo.
Here's a fresh cup for you.

  
What's this, rat piss?

  
Luigi, stop it

  
Who's gonna sing, then,
after you leave?

  
Amber, please, it's not my place

  
Someone must sing

  
Why can't it be me?

  
- Sister, please.
- Just shut your face!

  
Listen, you bitch

  
When I'm running GeneCo...

  
- In your dreams!
- Dad loves me

  
And they all love the Pavi

  
When the geezer croaks

  
You will all learn to respect me

  
That's enough!

  
- But she...
- But he...

  
Children, off!

  
Mag, there's someone
I'd like you to meet.

  
A daughter of an old friend.

  
A ghost from your past.

  
Seeing you two stirs memories

  
Mag was 19, not much older than you

  
I heard her sing

  
And at that moment knew

  
I'd help her see

  
And watch her talent bloom

  
I could help you, too

  
Will the Voice of GeneCo
please take the stage?

  
Blind Mag to the stage.

  
Please don't go

  
I must go

  
Don't say no

  
I must see

  
Technically, you belong to GeneCo

  
Of course, I joke.

  
Of course, you joke

  
You're free to go

  
I've got tonight

  
Tonight

  
Everybody, everybody,
line up, line up now.

  
We have to get supper tickets.

  
Don't be shy.

  
Let go.

  
How am I going
to find my way home?

  
GeneCo

  
Incoming message from Rotti Largo.

  
Collect on the Handleman
account at once.

  
His payment is past due.

  
Repossess GeneCo's property.

  
Oh, my God!

  
I'm sorry! I'll pay later!

  
Oh! Stop! No!

  
No, no! No! No!

  
No! No! No!

  
Medicine reminder.

  
Shilo.

  
Yes, Dad?

  
Did you take your medicine?

  
Yes.

  
... for GeneCo!

  
What's that?

  
What's what?

  
That.

  
Oh. That.

  
My window, it's cracked

  
Then why aren't you
wearing your mask?

  
Should I head back?

  
No, I'm fine

  
I can be there in no time

  
That won't be needed

  
But, Shilo...

  
Your patients need you

  
Dad, who's that?

  
Oh, that?

  
One of my patients. He's sick.

  
- Will he live?
- It's looking grim

  
You should stay there for a while

  
I will rush home when I'm done

  
Take your time, nothing's wrong

  
I love you

  
- Daughter
- Father

  
Medicate immediately.

  
Blood pressure warning.

  
Zydrate

  
Get your fill of it

  
Zydrate

  
You're real?

  
Don't bother me.

  
- I'm sorry.
- You'll get me caught.

  
I must get home.

  
Follow me.

  
Where are we going?

  
Where are you taking me?

  
Mr. Largo, how are you?

  
The folks at home would like to know
your thoughts and views

  
about Zydrate use...

  
And its abuses

  
Would you care to comment, sir?

  
Well, thank you, sir.

  
Let me direct the matter
to my daughter

  
The mind behind
the Zydrate support network

  
Welcome Amber to the stage

  
Welcome Amber to the stage

  
How old are you?

  
17.

  
I had my first surgery
when I was 13.

  
And thanks to Z,

  
I couldn't feel
or remember a thing.

  
A month later, I was turning tricks.

  
I'll keep a lock on it all

  
Drug market

  
Submarket

  
Sometimes I wonder
why I ever got in

  
Blood market

  
Love market

  
Sometimes I wonder
why they need me at all

  
Zydrate comes
in a little glass vial.

  
A little glass vial?

  
A little glass vial.

  
And the little glass vial

  
goes into the gun like a battery.

  
And the Zydrate gun

  
goes somewhere
against your anatomy.

  
And when the gun goes off, it sparks,

  
and you're ready for surgery.

  
Surgery.

  
Grave Robber

  
Grave Robber

  
Sometimes I wonder
why I even bother

  
Grave Robber

  
Grave Robber

  
Sometimes I wonder
why I need you at all

  
And Amber Sweet
is addicted to the knife.

  
Addicted to the knife?

  
Addicted to the knife?

  
And addicted to the knife,

  
she needs a little help with the agony.

  
Agony.

  
And a little help comes
in a little glass vial

  
in a gun pressed
against her anatomy.

  
And when the gun goes off,

  
Miss Sweet is ready
for surgery, surgery.

  
Grave Robber

  
Grave Robber

  
Sometimes I wonder
why I need you at all

  
It's clean, it's clear, it's pure.

  
- It's what?
- It's rare.

  
It takes you there.

  
It what?

  
It takes you there

  
It's clean, it's clear...

  
Before the cut

  
It's clean, it's clear...

  
I can do nothing at all

  
It's surgery, it's surgery.

  
It's surgery.

  
It's the way your friends
may change inside.

  
Feel alive

  
Hey, that's Blind Mag's song.

  
Who did that?

  
So you think you got heart

  
So you think you got balls

  
So you think Mag can sing

  
I don't think nothing at all

  
So you think Mag has pipes.

  
Well, it's my turn to shine.

  
When the Repo Man strikes!

  
What are you talking about?

  
Mag's contract's got
some mighty fine print.

  
Some mighty fine print?

  
Some mighty fine...

  
And that mighty fine print

  
puts Mag in a mighty fine predicament.

  
If Mag up and splits,

  
her eyes are forfeit.

  
And if GeneCo and Rotti so will it,

  
then a repo man will come,

  
and she'll pay for that surgery.

  
Surgery.

  
Surgery.

  
I can't feel nothing at all

  
Cleanin' up the city since 
  
I can't feel nothing at all

  
Sir, we have Amber.

  
We're bringing her in.

  
Incoming message.

  
Incoming message.

  
Nathan Wallace, come to my office at once.

  
Honey?

  
Are you awake?

  
Well, who ordered pizza?

  
I could sure go for a slice!

  
Oh, never too pressed
for that dramatical entrance

  
You wanted to see me?

  
Thank you for coming

  
Have your new assignment

  
Hot off the meat truck!

  
Is there a reason why

  
You couldn't phone me this target?

  
This is a job of special importance.

  
It is involving a GeneCo employee,

  
a singer we all know.

  
That has-been soprano

  
A traitor to GeneCo

  
Tonight is her last show

  
I can't afford a scandal here

  
Please handle Mag as best you can.

  
Take her down

  
But Mag's eyes...

  
Are GeneCo's.

  
I know this may seem hard

  
Mag was Marni's best friend

  
You break my friggin' heart

  
You can reunite them.

  
I cannot do this job

  
Remember who you are.

  
Remember what you did to Marni.

  
Must I take you back there

  
Please don't take me back there

  
Why relive that moment?

  
I can't relive it

  
That dark, fateful night

  
When you murdered your wife

  
It's too painful

  
- Marni was past helping
- Marni was past helping

  
Shilo's life was slipping

  
Shilo was slipping

  
She needed her dad,
and I needed skilled hands

  
So I fixed things

  
We made an agreement

  
I will honor that agreement

  
- You'll do as you're told
- I'll do as I'm told

  
So Shilo never knows

  
About that dark and fateful night.

  
Or my secret repo life

  
Don't deny your repo life

  
Dear Marni, I am so sorry

  
Can you forgive me for this?

  
Not the death doctor
with the hungry scalpel

  
Here's my prognosis, will they live?

  
Doubtful.

  
You're the street physician

  
Carving rare sculptures

  
Paint your ass like a Rembrandt

  
Ha! You like that?

  
Better start praying
when you see him coming

  
For tonight, it's curtains

  
You're the night surgeon

  
I remember

  
Remember what you did to Marni

  
And who you are

  
I remember

  
Remember what you did

  
To your knife!

  
See it glide.

  
See it slice!

  
Who's your night surgeon?

  
I hope you have my money

  
Or it's "buon viaggi"

  
He'll do your ass like dishes

  
Amputation

  
Remember who you are

  
- Please, please, please!
- I remember

  
Remember what you did to Marni

  
Remember who you are

  
I remember

  
Remember what you did to her

  
Remember who you are

  
I remember

  
Remember what you did to Marni

  
Remember who you are

  
I remember

  
Remember what you did to her

  
I remember every dying whisper

  
Every desperate murmur

  
I remember when I gazed upon her

  
She looks just like you

  
I remember

  
I remember working every victim

  
With acute precision

  
I remember every time I hold you

  
My blunt companion

  
I remember

  
I dismember

  
'Cause the claims medic gives no anesthetic

  
90-day delinquent
gets you repo treatment

  
Remember horror
on your street corner

  
Make your mama boil you

  
I'm a night surgeon

  
I remember

  
Nathan!

  
I cannot do this job.

  
Find someone else.

  
No one walks away from me.

  
He wants out?
Then I will take him out.

  
Shilo? Is your name Shilo?

  
Can I talk to you?

  
Can you come down, please?

  
- Why?
- So we can speak.

  
I saw you at the show

  
I thought I'd seen a ghost

  
Your resemblance is striking.

  
You have your mother's eyes, her hair

  
I was told you died with her

  
All these years have come and gone

  
How do I put this?

  
I'm your god mom

  
State your business.

  
Business?

  
What do you want?

  
I want, I want

  
To finally meet you

  
Something real
to cling to, leave you

  
With the hope that you will go to

  
All you're meant to, all I failed to

  
In you is a world of promise

  
We have both been
kept in bondage

  
But you could learn
from all my failures.

  
I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.

  
Or let them through the gate?

  
That, either. A big risk.

  
- A big fence.
- A big mistake.

  
A new friend.

  
Oh, my God. Mom?

  
How'd you do that?

  
- Do what?
- That. That eye thing.

  
These eyes can do more than see.

  
I know. I mean, I've seen you sing.

  
- Where?
- From my window.

  
I can see the world from there.

  
Name the stars and constellations.

  
Count the cars
and watch the seasons.

  
I wish we could have watched together

  
I can't have guests.

  
- Never?
- Ever.

  
If Dad found out
that I'd been let out

  
or that you'd been let in...

  
I should go, then, before I do

  
- Promise me you won't
- Better that you don't.

  
Don't forget a sheltered rose

  
It's best if I resume my life

  
Needs a little room to bloom
outside her bedroom

  
Chase the morning

  
Yield for nothing

  
Chase the morning

  
Yield for nothing

  
Let your life be a dream

  
Integrity, honesty

  
It's too late for me

  
Don't look back

  
Till you're free
to chase the morning

  
Yield for nothing

  
Chase the morning

  
Yield for nothing

  
Yield for nothing

  
Hi, Nathan.

  
Mag.

  
How did you get in here?

  
Don't you have a show tonight?

  
- How are you, Nathan?
- Busy.

  
You never were

  
A man of many words, Nate

  
- You told me Shilo died
- Listen...

  
Nathan, I promised your late wife

  
I'd be present in Shilo's life

  
Please, Mag

  
Shilo's very ill

  
It's not safe

  
For her to see people

  
I need to give her, her medication.

  
Dad, let her stay in here

  
No, she's leaving

  
Please hide her here

  
- From what?
- She'll be dead

  
Look, I told her she was sick

  
Nathan, you are hurting me

  
- Dad!
- My daughter needs a rest

  
I'll be fine, Shilo, don't you fret

  
Repossessions are dangerous

  
You're not safe

  
- Dad, she's not safe
- Shilo, don't you fret

  
- Leave my daughter
- Your daughter's

  
She is sick

  
You've turned this house

  
- Into a zoo
- I can't have this

  
Marni wouldn't want this for you

  
Set her free

  
- Please don't leave
- Set her free

  
Come back

  
- Keep it down, Shi
- Come back!

  
It's your bedtime, it's late

  
- Dad, am I...
- Please

  
- She will die
- Nonsense

  
- It's arrived, Dad
- Nonsense

  
- It's a contract
- A contract?

  
- Come and see
- Nonsense

  
Come see

  
Mag's in trouble, Dad

  
Where'd you get this?

  
Read it, Dad, a repo man will come

  
and take Mag's eyes!

  
There are things in life

  
That we do best to leave alone

  
She'll die, you must help her, Dad

  
- That are beyond control
- You must stop her

  
That you don't want to know

  
Will you save Mag?

  
She will lose her eyes

  
Unless you stop this repo man

  
Shilo, this is senseless

  
- Dad, you have to try.
- Shilo

  
- This is pointless.
- You can't let her die!

  
Please, shut up!

  
Your mother's death
taught me to accept

  
That nothing ever lasts in this world

  
Foolish dreams
can destroy a grown man

  
What chance has a 17-year-old girl?

  
I don't know what I was thinking

  
There's no sense in girlish dreaming

  
I'm just 17, 
  
And it's better than 40.

  
Mama drama's got to go

  
Nothing's gonna bring her back

  
Experiment with something living

  
Because I'm sweeter than 
  
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

  
I've always longed for true affection

  
But you compared me to a corpse!

  
Dead, with the dead

  
- I'm joining the living
- 
  
Because I'm freer than 
  
Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

  
Shilo.

  
Something's changing

  
I can feel it

  
17 now

  
Why can't you see it?

  
17 and you can't stop me

  
17 and you won't boss me

  
You cannot control me, Father

  
Daddy's girl's a fucking monster

  
I'm sorry.

  
Shilo.

  
Listen, all!

  
I've never been
so surgically maimed

  
Amber, please, it's not that bad.

  
I'll be the laughingstock of the stage

  
Daughter, please, it's not that bad

  
This is your fault,
I asked you to help me

  
No, Amber, please

  
I warned you about this

  
Happiness is not a warm scalpel

  
I don't care! It's not fair!

  
Baby, baby, baby,
don't do this

  
I will never sing again

  
I gave you the life I wished I'd had

  
I look like a crime scene, Dad

  
All you ever do is take, take, take

  
All I ever do is give

  
That surgery was only 90 grand

  
I did not complain

  
When you changed your name

  
From Largo to Sweet

  
I need a stage name!

  
You are a disgrace

  
Your genes are not worthy of mine

  
Are you okay, Daddy?

  
I'll have one of my surgeons fix you up

  
so you can sing tonight.

  
Thanks, Daddy.

  
Flesh is weak.

  
Blood is cheap.

  
Inconsistent.

  
Consistently

  
Use your sense

  
Save your cents

  
The only thing with persistence is

  
Gold

  
It makes the world go round

  
Gold

  
It makes the world go round

  
But before I go

  
My kids will know

  
About the man they have crossed

  
As Marni did the day she fled

  
And became Nathan's wife

  
She forced my hand,
he dug her grave

  
I will not be betrayed

  
Empty the trash of all of them

  
And leave it all to the kid

  
Lay the bait

  
Shilo's fate

  
But only if

  
And will she appreciate

  
That gold

  
It makes the world go round

  
Gold

  
It makes the world go round

  
Gold

  
Shilo, I have your cure.

  
Tonight all will be revealed.

  
See you at the opera.

  
So Rotti thinks he can take Shilo.

  
Dad?

  
Nothing, Shilo, nothing

  
Go to bed

  
Why didn't you tell me
I had a godmother?

  
What?

  
What are you talking about, precious?

  
Lovely, Mag, sing

  
Attention, all GeneCo personnel.

  
Apprehend the Repo Man
Nathan Wallace at once.

  
Bring him to me.

  
I want Nathan Wallace taken out.

  
Shilo?

  
Come to the opera with me

  
Shilo!

  
Tonight we are betrayed

  
Keep Shilo safe

  
Make Rotti pay

  
I'll man his grave

  
At the opera...

  
tonight.

  
Shilo, this dress

  
once belonged to your mother.

  
I would be most honored

  
if you wore it to the opera.

  
I must be brave

  
Come, come what may

  
Can I be saved?

  
Is there a way at the opera tonight?

  
I've made my peace

  
No chance for peace

  
I hold no grudge

  
I'll end this grudge

  
I'm gonna sing

  
I'll stain the streets

  
- My final song
- They'll run with blood

  
At the opera tonight

  
One more hit for the show

  
- Make it fast
- Take it slow.

  
One more hit of the glow

  
Go get cut.

  
For tonight's show

  
Tonight I set the stage

  
Tonight we set the stage

  
My greatest play

  
My greatest face.

  
I'll take the lead

  
- My greatest rage!
- Pavi gets laid.

  
All debts are paid

  
At the opera tonight

  
Repo man

  
- Repo man
- Freeze!

  
At the opera tonight

  
Repo man, come take my hand

  
At the opera tonight

  
Repo Man

  
My eyes

  
Repo man, at the opera tonight

  
Bloodbath

  
It's gonna be a bloodbath

  
'Cause no one crosses GeneCo

  
No, not even Repo

  
Will Rotti clean house?

  
Damn, we're gonna find out

  
At the opera

  
Stay tuned.

  
The winner of this blood feud

  
Will take GeneCo

  
Tonight's opera

  
is brought to you by rich Prosego.

  
Ladies and gentlemen,
the Genetic Opera!

  
Everybody, everybody

  
Get down, get down now

  
Stand up

  
Don't be shy

  
People, people, people

  
Everybody, everybody

  
Testify

  
Everybody

  
Get down, get down now

  
Stand up, don't be shy

  
People, people, people,
get up, get up, get up

  
Everybody testify

  
GeneCo helped me upgrade
my second-class heredity!

  
Testify!

  
My liver was wrecked,

  
but now I can drink whatever I want!

  
Testify!

  
Before GeneCo,

  
my anatomy was completely repressed!

  
State your names!

  
Genterns.

  
Saved!

  
Everybody, everybody

  
Testify

  
Stand up and don't be shy

  
People, people, people,
get up, get up, get up

  
Everybody, everybody, testify

  
I needed a kidney
transplant desperately

  
GeneCo showed this
single mom sympathy

  
This makeover came
for a small added fee

  
Now I look smashing on live TV

  
- Be healed!
- GeneCo's got it.

  
You know you want it, baby.

  
GeneCo's got it.

  
You know you want it, baby.

  
GeneCo's got it.

  
You know you want it, baby.

  
Testify!

  
Testify!

  
Testify!

  
Testify!

  
Testify!

  
Shilo, you've made it.

  
You're close enough to taste it.

  
Your cure, is waiting.

  
There is but one thing pending.

  
Help us catch him.

  
This former GeneCo trainee

  
who's lost his mind completely

  
and managed to escape me.

  
You saw him

  
In the graveyard

  
Thank God my guards responded.

  
It seems this fiend has
set his teeth on you,

  
so be on guard. He's coming.

  
We'll use you as bait

  
to draw this snake out of his hole,

  
and I am sorry, Shilo, for that,

  
but this is your defining moment.

  
Will you let yourself be trapped,

  
or will you use your trap to trap him?

  
Put your hands together

  
for GeneCo's favorite
and only daughter,

  
Amber Sweet!

  
Blame not my cheeks

  
The pair with love they be

  
Bring me Repo Man,

  
and you will get your cure.

  
And now, without further ado,

  
the event you've all been waiting for.

  
GeneCo proudly presents Blind Mag.

  
Come take these eyes

  
I would rather be blind

  
Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic.

  
Stay in your seats.
It's all part of the show.

  
Stay tuned, folks

  
You don't want to move, folks

  
'Cause there's more
excitement coming

  
As an encore, GeneCo will cure

  
A very sick and needy young girl

  
She's been caged up like a monster

  
By her overbearing father

  
But tonight we're gonna set him right

  
And for all your viewing pleasures

  
Didn't I tell you not to go out?

  
Didn't I?

  
You did, you did

  
Didn't I say the world was cruel?

  
Didn't I?

  
You did, you did

  
Then tell me how this happened

  
What I did wrong, tell me why

  
Can't we just go home, Shi

  
And forget this dreadful night?

  
Didn't you say that you were different?

  
Didn't you?

  
I am, I am

  
Say you aren't that person

  
Say it

  
I am, I am

  
Then tell me how to act, Dad

  
What to say, Dad, tell me why

  
All you've ever told me

  
Every word is a lie

  
Didn't you say that you'd protect me?

  
Didn't you?

  
I tried, I tried

  
Is that how you'd help me?

  
Is it?

  
I tried, I tried

  
Don't help me anymore, Dad

  
You are dead, Dad, in my eyes

  
Someone has replaced you

  
Dad, I hate you, go and die

  
Didn't I build a house, a home?

  
Didn't I?

  
A cure is waiting.

  
Didn't I raise her all alone?

  
Didn't I?

  
Then Rotti took her from me

  
Stole my Shilo, he's to blame

  
Have I failed my daughter?

  
Then let the father die

  
And let the monster run

  
Repo Man

  
Stop!

  
You've exceeded all my plans

  
More than you
could say for Amber

  
More than I could say for you.

  
What?

  
Or your just-as-worthless brother

  
I just want to get my cure

  
And I promise to deliver

  
Don't you lay a hand on her.

  
Hold your tongue before an elder.

  
Touch her, and I swear I'll kill you.

  
Bring it on, you cheap imposter.

  
Even though I'm terminally ill

  
I'm dying, you idiots.

  
Please don't say you're dying, Father.

  
Please say you ain't dying, Father.

  
So I planned my perfect end

  
A tale befitting any opera

  
And ending only I could spin

  
Ending you will be my pleasure.

  
I no longer trust you, Dad.

  
You can never trust a monster.

  
And there's more beneath his mask.

  
Did you know he killed your mother?

  
It was just an accident

  
- Accidents can end in murder.
- Shilo, believe me

  
And that's not his greatest fib

  
Someone tell me what is going on

  
Tell her, tell her

  
Someone tell me what is going on

  
- Let's leave
- Tell her, tell her

  
- Let's leave
- Someone tell me what is going on

  
- No more
- Tell me, tell me

  
- Tell her, tell her
- Tell me

  
No more.

  
May I introduce you

  
To the man who made you sick?

  
He's poisoned all your medicine

  
- I can't breathe
- You've got to fight through it.

  
Someone, please,
please help my daughter

  
This will pass.
You've got to fight through it.

  
I've deceived the only one that matters

  
- I need my pill.
- You need to know

  
- You've got to fight.
- It's not your fault

  
Believe me, Shilo.

  
It's me who failed you

  
My stomach.

  
- It's his medicine
- My medicine

  
It's your medicine?

  
I'm the cause

  
Of all your sickness

  
Here's to the medi...

  
That's all there is

  
Thanks for coming.

  
Your mother once
promised her love to me

  
Had she never fled, you'd be mine.

  
Deny your father now,

  
for the world to see.

  
Kill him.

  
Kill him!

  
No.

  
And I'll leave you GeneCo

  
- What?
- All of it?

  
Oh, yes.

  
Oh, no!

  
So witness it, people.

  
All I have to do is sign the paper

  
All you have to do is pull the trigger

  
- I want you to do what is right
- You want to pay me

  
- to kill my father?
- This man killed your mother, your mother

  
- Shilo
- He betrayed you both, he's a liar

  
- And he poisoned you
- Force me to kill

  
I am not a murderer

  
But you share your dad's genetics

  
What if he passed this to you?

  
I don't have to share his choices

  
Didn't you say you were infected?

  
Didn't you, didn't you?

  
I poisoned you

  
I'm worse than Rotti, imprisoned you

  
I couldn't lose you,
what have I done?

  
Forgive me, Shilo,
I drugged your blood

  
Oh, God, what have I done to you?

  
You used my mother's death
to use my father

  
You used my father's death
to use me, too

  
Your dad deserved
whatever happened to him.

  
He needed me, and so do you.

  
I remember

  
Remember my mistakes

  
Remember you can change

  
Remember that I love you

  
I'm sorry that I failed you

  
Remember that it's up to you

  
To go and shape your life into

  
One that's worthy of remembering

  
No!

  
Dad!

  
Dad, no, please!

  
Somebody!

  
Somebody, please help.

  
Money-grubbing beggars,
no better than I am.

  
You! Don't come near me.
You're embarrassing.

  
You're disgusting.

  
You're not men. You're creatures.

  
I'm embarrassed by you.

  
Get away. I don't need you,
not either one of you.

  
Go away!

  
Don't show your face to me.

  
You're disgusting.

  
You're not my daughter.

  
You're nothing.

  
When I'm gone, GeneCo will crumble.

  
I doubt the world will remember

  
how lucky they were
to have Rotti Largo.

  
Dad, be still

  
There is nothing you need say

  
It can wait

  
Shi, your mother's calling me

  
Sometimes I wanted to cry

  
When the people on TV

  
Were not quite the way we were

  
Somehow I guess I just knew

  
But I didn't know I love you so much

  
I didn't know I love you so much

  
I didn't know I love you so much

  
But I do

  
Sometimes I'd stay up all night

  
Wishing to God

  
That I was the one who died

  
And sometimes there's
not enough time

  
But I didn't know I love you so much

  
I didn't know I love you so much

  
I didn't know I love you so much

  
But I do

  
I didn't know I love you so much

  
I didn't know I love you so much

  
I didn't know I love you so much

  
But I do

  
Shilo, go

  
Dad, I will not leave you here

  
You will live

  
But you've already saved me, dear

  
Go and change the world for me

  
And we will always have each other

  
In our time of need

  
- Daddy
- Shilo

  
You're the world

  
To me

  
Oh, Daddy, please, no.

  
Please, please.

  
Please, get up.

  
Please.

  
Years

  
It's been so many years

  
Resenting the years

  
And my heredity

  
Oh, I have hated and loved you

  
I have hidden behind you

  
But I finally see

  
You I've mistaken for destiny

  
But the truth is my legacy

  
Is not up to my genes

  
True, though the imprint is deep in me

  
It will always be up to me

  
Up to me

  
Free at last

  
Free at last

  
Goth opera

  
Blood saga

  
Sometimes I wonder
how we ever got here

  
Old grudges

  
Scorned lovers

  
Sometimes I wonder
why we all don't move on

  
'Cause we all wind up
in a tiny pine box.

  
A mighty small drop
and a mighty dark plot.

  
And the mighty fine print

  
hastens the trip to our epilogue.

  
Epilogue?

  
But the little girl fled,

  
and the king is dead.

  
And the castle is left for the taking.

  
But GeneCo may survive
if it undergoes surgery,

  
surgery.

  
Surgery, surgery.

  
- Surgery.
- Surgery.

  
Repo Man.

  
Out from the...

  
Our heroes will not be forgotten.

  
GeneCo will live on,
under new management.

  
Me.

  
Pray he never comes
knocking at your door.

  
Say that you once bought a heart

  
or a new cornea...

  
Amber Sweet, ladies and gentlemen.

  
Amber Sweet.

  
I can't hear you.

  
I can't fucking hear you,
you fucking peasants!

  
You gonna start applauding?

  
I'll kill you all, you fucking mice!

  
Dad.

  
Repo man

  
Sweetheart, are you feeling closer?

  
Close to the line hype of the sky?

  
Or is it better from a distance

  
To see it clear?

  
To deal with your fear

  
That you were inside

  
Is the devil you see?

  
Go, all the life you leave behind

  
Still forcing yourself

  
To bear your cross

  
God bless you all

  
Born the way you were

  
Love death in life

  
You come through

  
A needle into a bug

  
A needle

  
Who's there? Stay back.

  
Do you have my cure?

  
Kid, is that you?

  
I'm here to learn my cure

  
Your cure?

  
Is that what this is about?

  
Sorry

  
That fucking Amber cleaned me out

  
But maybe later

  
I'll look you up later

  
Just help me down

  
- The drug
- Yeah, the drug.

  
- Yeah?
- The cure, it's...

  
The drug

  
Help me down. Ill score some.

  
Help me shed some

  
Kid, I'm out.

  
- Some?
- I told you.

  
Light on

  
That's the situation

  
The situation

  
Into a bug a needle

  
Into a bug a needle

  
Into a bug a needle

  
Into a bug a needle

  
- How about...
- Yeah.

  
She's right beside you

  
- No, I needed Zydrate
- No, I'm out of Zydrate

  
No, it's like a night light

  
The beautiful

  
- You don't mean...
- Yeah.

  
- You need...
- So easy

  
- I don't think...
- Don't think.

  
- That I...
- Just smack it

  
- I guess I see
- She won't

  
You've got to smack it

  
Is to score a needle

  
Into a bug a needle

  
Into a bug a needle

  
Into a bug a needle

  
Into a

  
Bug

  
Ladies, gentlemen, signore, signori

  
Don't you dare touch your TV

  
Tonight's Genetic Opera
is the place to be.

  
- To the transplants!
- To the genterns!

  
The Genetic Opera is this evening!

  
You'll-a laugh, you'll-a cry.

  
You'll-a...

  
Sing

  
The Genetic Opera is good

  
It's good!

  
The Genetic Opera is good

  
I will flower

  
As I stand to face myself

  
In this final hour

  
Bitter fate I accept

  
This must be my, my aching hour

  
This must be my aching hour

  
This must be my, my aching hour

  
This must be my aching hour

  
Tonight I will settle all my debts

  
Tonight I will sacrifice

  
Tonight I am coming to collect

  
Tonight

  
I will save my life

  
I've made my peace

  
All debts are paid

  
At the opera tonight
