Repo! The Genetic Opera Page #5

Come take these eyes

I would rather be blind

Ladies and gentlemen, don't panic.

Stau in uour 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

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

But I do

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.

Prau he never comes

knocking at uour door.

Sau that uou once bought a heart

or a new cornea...

Amber Sweet, ladies and gentlemen.

Amber Sweet.

I can't hear you.

I can't f***ing hear you,

you f***ing peasants!

You gonna start applauding?

I'll kill you all, you f***ing mice!

Dad.

Repo man

Close to the line hupe of the sku?

Or is it better from a distance
