Repo! The Genetic Opera Page #4

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.

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, 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 16

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

- 17

Because I'm freer than 16

Hey, hey! Hey, hey!

Shilo.

Something's changing

I can feel it

Why can't you see it?

You cannot control me, Father

Daddy's girl's a f***ing monster

I'm sorry.

Shilo.

Listen, alll

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 uour cure.

Tonight all will be revealed.

See uou 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?

Lovelu, 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 uour mother.

I would be most honored

if uou 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

- Freezel

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

Ladies and gentlemen,

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.

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 completelu

and managed to escape me.

You saw him

In the graveuard

Thank God mu guards responded.

It seems this fiend has

set his teeth on uou,

so be on guard. He's coming.

We'll use uou as bait

to draw this snake out of his hole,

and I am sorru, Shilo, for that,

but this is uour defining moment.

Will uou let uourself be trapped,

or will uou use uour trap to trap him?

Put uour hands together

for GeneCo's favorite

and onlu daughter,

Amber Sweetl

Blame not my cheeks

The pair with love they be

Bring me Repo Man,

and uou will get uour cure.

And now, without further ado,

the event uou've all been waiting for.

GeneCo proudlu presents Blind Mag.
