Repo! The Genetic Opera Page #2

Synopsis: In the year 2056 - the not so distant future - an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants, for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera.

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 technologu

where everuthing is digitallu recorded

so uou can relive

uour 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, uou don't know me,

but uour mother was once

veru dear to me.

I can help uou find uour cure.

Meet me in uour 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 immediatelu.

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.

No one wants a thankless job

GeneCo's Digital Corneas

provide state-of-the-art resolution

and low densitu without sacrificing stule.

Hi. I'm Blind Mag,

the Voice of GeneCo.

At GeneCo, an affordable

organ makeover

is just a simple financing awau.

Take control of uour life,

because it's what's

on the inside that counts.

Financed organs are subject

to all legal default remedies,

including new possession...

Sorru, folks. It'll be a long time

before GeneCo can

help uou sing like Mag.

I don't know about uou, Bob,

but I haven't been this excited

since mu first elective surgeru.

No doubt, Dick.

Excitement's in the air.

For one dau a uear onlu,

Sanitarian Square will open its gates

and welcome all of us

to its post-plague Italian Renaissancel

GeneCo's new Rome.

Ah, the cuisine, the music, the culture.

GeneCo provides the finest

in Italian-inspired bodu version.

Wow. This is turning into GeneCo's

most spectacular

and unpredictable event ever.

That's right, Dick.

Onlu a few short hours

until Blind Mag's final performance,

which is guaranteed to be talked about

for uears and uears 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 b*tch

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

Everubodu, everubodu,

line up, line up now.

We have to get supper tickets.

Don't be shu.

Let go.

How am I going

to find my way home?

GeneCo

Oh, my God!

I'm sorry! I'll pay later!

Oh! Stop! No!

Medicine reminder.

Shilo.

Yes, Dad?

Did you take your medicine?

Yes.

...for GeneCol

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 immediatelu.

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
