Alright.

Been working on a new take.

Alright, let's hear it.

- I'm still formulating it.

- Then why did you bring it up?

Okay, fine. So let's say

two dudes made the game.

Okay.

And whether they are

actual brothers

or more like, you know,

brothers from another mother,

soulmate-type dudes...

- Like us.

- Yeah, like team, you know?

- Yep.

Every team needs a mascot,

and some would argue

that Mario is the

maybe more attractive one.

- No, they have the same face.

- No, they didn't.

Yeah, they did.

Luigi was literally

the same guy.

Just a different color.

No, no,

in the first one, he was,

but they eventually

became their own people.

Yeah.

By became their own people,

you mean they stretched out

Mario to make Luigi? Sure.

Dude, whatever.

It doesn't matter.

It's not the point.

Okay, then, Billy.

What is your point?

I'm sorry. You got somewhere

you need to be right now?

- No, man.

- You busy?

I'm just on pins

and needles, honestly.

The point, my friend Ray,

is that someone is still

the face of the operation.

Okay, but why?

Because somebody's

got to be the leader.

Or appear to be the leader.

That's fine.

Someone has to look like

they are in charge.

So one brother steps

into that role

and the other one kind of

becomes like--

What, the sidekick?

No, man, I was gonna say,

like the secret sauce.

You mean like the man

behind the curtain?

Whatever, man. Same thing.

So, look, anyhow,

this got me thinking

about dude relationships

and maybe how these guys had,

like, a similar dynamic

in real life, right?

You know, like, one of them

speaks for both of them,

but in reality,

behind the scenes,

the other one...

- The secret sauce.

- That's right.

- Gotcha.

And you know how like

when people are making something,

like, they don't realize it,

they kind of put themselves,

like, in the thing?

- I do. Yeah.

We reflect ourselves

in the things that we do.

Exactly. So these dudes,

they don't realize it, right?

But they put their relationship

in the game.

And now here

we are wondering like,

"Oh, why is Mario in charge?"

Alright, go ahead.

- What?

I know you think it's stupid.

- I didn't say that.

- Well, you don't have to.

I actually didn't

say anything.

[Alarm beeping]

I hate it when you do that.

Do what?

Okay, look, man.

That's your whole theory?

It took you two weeks

to come up with that?

I didn't say it was the

whole-- It's half-baked, man.

You made me tell it

to you too soon.

That's why it sounds dumb.

Because there's so much more

to expound upon, right?

It's just plenteous

with depths to mine?

I'm being facetious.

That means I'm kidding.

Don't-- don't-- don't do--

don't do that.

I know.

- Don't do what?

- I know what that means.

- Unnnnh.

Do you? [Laughs]

You know what?

You mispronounce the word

capricious one-- one time.

One f*cking time, you know.

Yeah, well, you showed them,

didn't you?

- That's not funny.

- It's a little funny.

It's not that funny.

It hurts my feelings.

Oh, you gonna try

to take me out, too?

Oh, you'll never survive

without me.

- Oh, sh*t.

- You want some of this?

Whoo! Here we go.

- Oh!

- Truce! Jinx!

- Truce! Jinx!

Okay. Alright.

We're even now. Even now?

Oh. You know what?

Just admit it.

You love my theories.

You love hearing them.

Don't even flatter yourself.

You want a theory?

How about this?

What if Mario goes

by their surname?

Like Luigi's full name

is Luigi Mario.

Wait, then what's Mario's

first name?

It's "Mare-io" Mario

to differentiate.

That's so dumb.

I'm gonna go jump

in the shower.

- I got first shower. Unh-unh.

- Alright. You can go first.

Wait, wait.

Where are you going?

- I'm gonna keep running.

- No, you're not.

You ain't going

anywhere without me. No.

I don't want you

to run without me.

Let me go, dude. I'm going

to take a g*dd*mn shower.

I'm gonna lock this sh*t up.

No!

You are a giant man baby!

f*ck!

[Both laughing]

Ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

[Clock ticking]

Ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

[Shower running]

Ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha

[Clock ticking]

[Toilet flushes]

Ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

Ha ha ha ha

ha ha ha ha ha

Oh, my God. Jesus.

Need some help?

- What?

- Stream of conscious format

leaves a lot of the heavy

lifting to the reader.

It's admittedly not the easiest.

No, I'm just

trying to follow along

with all these

freaking footnotes.

Couldn't you have

stocked this place

with some more laid-back reads?

- I built it, I fill it.

- You--

Well, you didn't literally

build this place, right?

Yeah, but I did literally

save your a*s, Billy, so...

I'm just saying, throw in

a couple of beach reads, man,

and not books you would read

on the beach

like Hamilton or...

Frederick Douglass

has got a nice one.

Yeah. No, no, no, no,

no, no, no.

Normal-people beach reads.

Aren't beach reads

whatever you enjoy, man?

No, they're not.

They're easy entertainment.

That's why they call them

Beach reads. Okay?

You're on vacation. You don't

have to work that hard.

Would you call this

a vacation, Billy?

- Easy entertainment.

- Yeah.

No tiny little footnotes

all over the place.

And who doesn't use quotes

when someone's talking?

I mean, I can never tell

who's speaking.

Is it him or is it her?

- There is no her.

What are you talking about?

It takes place

inside of a men's prison.

Wait, wait. Hold on.

So it's two...

Did you-- did you read

the words?

So when they're...

Like, um...

[Whistles, imitates expl*si*n]

Well, I may have jacked off

to some stuff

I didn't totally understand.

Yeah.

Speaking of which, you and I

need to do a little regroup

on the rules, my friend.

- What's that?

Look, I get it.

Sometimes you're in bed.

You just got to take care

of something real quick.

But it's hard to pretend that

you don't know what's happening

when, you know, you hear

the little squeaking,

squeaking coming from

the bed next door.

And I'm not trying

to be critical.

I'll admit I've done it.

Not in the bathroom a couple

of times myself over the years.

Yeah, more than a couple times.

But how does a brilliant person

such as yourself

design this place...

- Oh, sh*t.

...and not come up

with a better system?

I mean, it's not like

we can put a sock on the door

in here, you know?

God. I miss college.

f*ck.

I miss... sex.

Don't you?

Dude, are you even

listening to me?

Are you-- What are you--

Ray--

- Yeah.

- Oh, sh*t.

Another one?

- Yeah.

What is that? Two left now?

Should we be worried?

Uh... It'll be okay.

Okay, good.

'Cause on the bright side,

I'm really hoping this means

we can have fish tonight.

[Chuckles]

Yes, we could.

Yes. Yes.

Which one is it, by the way?

It's, um, Sam.

- Oh, that's kind of sad.

- Yeah.

Let me get dinner ready.

- Yeah.

Diane, what are you

gonna do without your Sam?

Guess they weren't meant

to be after all, huh?

Guess not.

Now you're stuck with Woody.

Here.

You want some of this?

That is all yours, my friend.

I feel bad eating Sam,

but I needed this.

I really needed this.

- You shouldn't feel bad.

- But it's Sam.

- I know.

We've known him

his whole little fishy life.

I know, but it's part

of the design, right?

Yeah. Speaking of,

how is the cycling

gonna keep cycling

if we lose one more?

You know, are we gonna

be all right?

Yeah, it'll be okay.

I can't wait for the day when

you don't say "We'll be okay."

Actually, I can wait.

But you know who can't?

- We doing it?

- We're doing it.

- We're doing it.

- Oh, you know we're gonna do it.

It's tradition. Alright.

We are gathered here today

to commemorate Sam--

Come on, man.

Get it up. Reverence.

- Got it.

- Thank you very much.

Sammy, we thank you for giving

your life for your country.

As President,

I hereby confer upon you

the Presidential Medal

of Freedom.

I'm sorry I don't have

any physical medals.

Those were all destroyed.

But the honor doesn't mean

any less than the actual medals

I would have given

to actual people

if they were still here.

Should I have given out

more medals

when I had the chance,

by the way?

Well, you were only president

for 14 months.

Well, if you count the time

we've been in here...

But I don't, so...

Well, poo on you, then.

You tasted f*cking delicious,

my friend.

Your Diane will miss you.

But sometimes we need

to go to the place

where everybody knows your name.

And they are always glad

you came.

For thine is the kingdom,

the power and the glory. Amen.

Now give your son a goodbye kiss

before I eat his face off.

Give it. Do it.

- Oh!

No. No. Kiss. Kiss.

I cannot believe

I just did that.

Yeah. Get in--

Ray.

- Hmm?

Who am I kissing?

You said this was Sam,

but Sam didn't have

that little--

the little Goldie Hawn mole

right above his--

above his mouth there.

Did he?

- No.

No, he didn't. So...

Diane did.

We ate Diane?

But, um...

Sh...

She was our last female.

- Oh, sh*t.

- Hey...

[Sighs]

It's gonna be okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

Ray?

- Yeah.

I think we need to talk.

I know.

- I mean--

- I know, Billy.

We will figure something out.

How come you never

taught me how to warp?

Huh?

You taught me all the moves

in "Super Mario Brothers."

Every one.

You never taught me how to warp.

To warp.

Yeah. To jump forward

to different worlds

so you can finish the game.

- I know what warping is.

Then why are you saying

"to warp"

like I'm speaking pig Latin

or something?

I don't know,

I guess I just don't understand

why we're talking about warping

right now.

Do you have any idea

how embarrassing it was

for me to show up at Yale?

I'm the only one who doesn't

know how to warp?

People were playing Nintendo

at Yale?

- The cool ones were.

- Billy, why are we talking

about "Super Mario Brothers"

right now?

Because I don't like it

when you handle me

or-- or-- or manage me.

And don't give me that face.

I know you know

what I'm talking about. Okay?

You withhold info from me

like warping and-- and Diane.

- It's called protecting.

- I'm a grown man, okay?

I can handle the truth.

- I don't think you can.

Dude, I ran the f*cking country.

[Chuckles] That's debatable.

Why do you keep things from me?

Because you are

super touchy, Billy,

and you freak out.

- I do not freak out!

As your friend,

I try to guide the situation

at the right time

into your purview

so that it is more palatable.

No more big words!

No "purview,"

no f*cking "palatable."

I want the truth.

- Okay.

- Look at me. Give me the truth.

You want me to be honest

with you?

- Yes. Yes. Please.

- I will be honest with you.

Okay?

The facts of the situation are

with no more female fish

in the pond,

they have no ability

to procreate.

Once the fish die off,

the pond will cease

to be self-sustaining.

We will officially run out

of food not long after that.

And then we will die as well

Okay.

That wasn't so hard.

[Vocalizing]



What is it?

Why are we running?

We run every day.

Yeah, but why?

What's the point?

Fuss budget!

[Video-game sounds]

What-- What?

What did you just say?

Called you a fussbudget.

I don't know what that means.

It means you're being fussy

and you're taking up

emotional space

with all your pouting.

Well, I'm sorry.

I just don't understand

the point

of continuing to run anymore.

And also, I think

I have kind of a stomachache.

I know you don't have

a stomachache.

You never have stomachaches.

And the reason why I'm running

is because that's

what we do every morning.

Respectfully, Ray,

you have no idea how I'm

feeling, so f*ck off.

You know what? If it wasn't

politically incorrect,

I'd call you a f*cking p*ssy.

Look around, dude.

There's nobody here

to correct you, so go ahead

and say what you want.

I have a f*cking stomachache!

Hey, Billy. You're a big,

fat f*cking p*ssy, bro.

What is it that I am?

You're a big,

fat f*cking p*ssy.

- Oh, okay. Okay.

- You heard me.

g*dd*mn it.

I just patched that.

Well, maybe you should have

built a better dome.

Maybe if you had done your job,

we wouldn't need

to live in a dome.

You ever thought about--

Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

Did it do anything?

No! It didn't do anything.

It's built to survive far more

than your tantrums, man.

Oh, f*ck. What does it matter?

We're just gonna die anyway.

Goddammit.

Okay, William,

I could try to explain to you

the real reason

that I keep running,

but I don't think

you want to hear it.

- Hear what?

- You know.

- No.

- Yes.

- No! Don't you f*cking dare.

- Bowling ball.

No, dude, that is bullshit,

and you know it.

Okay? This is the end.

This is real this time.

Calm the f*ck down, dude.

I'm gonna find a way

to keep us alive.

I just need you to believe.

Well, I don't believe,

that's it.

And don't f*cking

say that again.

- Bowling ball.

- Aah!

Fine, Billy.

Alright?

I'll be the only one over here

just trying to keep a modicum

of hope alive. Alright?

- Are you serious?

- What?

- What the f*ck?

- What the f*ck is what?

What?

His colors are all weird.

Look!

Ah, f*ck it, man.

We're dead anyway.

That's it.

It's probably the same thing

that happened to Diane,

you know?

There you go.

[Sighs]

Look how sick he is.

I don't know.

He seems different.

Diane didn't have these weird

growths or change in pigment.

I don't know.

- You don't know?

Yeah.



Huh.

Check this out.

It just shed right off.



Oh, God. Oh, f*ck. Oh, God.

It's real. We're gonna die.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry

I was being a d*ck.

We're gonna die this time.

We're gonna die in here.

Oh, sh*t. I can't breathe.

I can't breathe. Oh.

[Sighs] Dude.

Come on. Calm down.

It's gonna be okay.

Alright?

- I got to spin it out.

Do your breathing exercises.

Alright?

We don't-- We don't know

that he's dying

or that it's the same thing

that happened to Diane.

Diane was old.

- Yeah, but he looks...

He looks so sick.

- I know.

It just doesn't make

any sense, man.

Something would have

to be introduced

into its habitat, right?

The pond seal is solid,

and we're sealed in here.

Unless...

What?

What, you think I did something?

- I didn't...

That's the look you give me

when you think I did something.

It was your job to check

the ammonia levels last.

I did. Don't you think

I've been in here long enough

to know how important

this damn pond is?

I'm not a total f*cking idiot.

And by the way,

I'm not the genius

that only put one pond

and a couple of plants in here

for the whole f*cking dome.

Oh, bro, you're lucky

we even have one pond.

Because if I'd followed

your shitty crayon drawings,

all we'd have is

some video games and a toilet.

I'm just saying, if we're

talking about track records...

Yeah, because your opinion of

me hasn't changed since we were,

like, 6 years old.

A person can change.

They can--

[Stomach grumbling]

Are you okay?

Oh, sh*t.

[Door opens, closes]

[Sighs]

Don't tell me

I don't have a fever.

I know I have a fever.

- Alright.

- Don't--

- You know what?

- Yeah.

- You have a fever.

- Are you serious?

- You really do.

sh*t. I knew it.

I bet it was Diane.

Why did I eat the head?

That was so stupid.

I don't think eating her head

made you sick.

Well, you didn't eat

her head, and you're not sick.

I think you just need to rest.

It's probably stress.

Why don't you take a nap?

I'm not taking a nap.

I don't want to go to sleep.

- Oh, my God.

- I might not wake up.

- You're gonna be just fine.

- You don't know that.

I'll check in on you.

You call me if you need me.

- Wait, wait, wait, wait.

- What?

I don't know.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

[Clicks tongue]

Bum, bum, bum, bum,

bum, bum, bum, bum

Do, bum, bum,

do, do, bum, bum

[Laughing]



[Sighs]

sh*t.



[Exhales slowly]

What the...?



[Door opens, closes]

[Faucet turning]



Ray.

Get out here, please.

What?

- What?

- What the f*ck is that?

Oh, I know.

I mean, I don't know.

But, yeah.

- You know?

It looks like the whole world

is ending again.

No, we don't know anything.

Might not be a bad thing.

You think this could be good?

Dude, it could be a lot

of things, right?

We got time to figure

that sh*t out.

What's going on with you?

There's something else.

Something else?

[Laughing] It's remarkable.

It is remarkable,

though not unprecedented.

Right? Nature is full

of historical contingencies.

Nature.

- Alright.

You're giving me, like,

crazy college vibes right now.

Did you even sleep?

No, don't worry about that.

It's good. Where was I?

- Uh, contingencies.

- Yes, right. Thank you.

Historical contingencies

have been known to deviate,

become less predictable.

So I started thinking about

less predictable variables,

especially environmental factors

and those that affect survival.

Then-- Hey-- I remembered back

in my undergrad,

reading about the clownfish

being protandrous.

Protandrous.

Do you know what that means?

Yeah.

I-- No. No.

Listen, it's okay.

I just need you to understand

that there is a precedent here,

because I need you to believe me

when I tell you that--

You know what? Just tell me

what's wrong with Woody.

I don't think anything

is wrong with Woody.

I think Woody is adapting.

- Okay. Like how?

Well, with fish,

the anatomical boundary

between male and female is much

more fluid than it is on land.

Like the clownfish

that I mentioned,

when they lose

their main female,

another male changes

and takes her place.

His sex organs transform

into female sex organs.

And in Woody's case...

- So are you saying...

...I think that Woody

is undergoing

sequential hermaphroditism, right?

Matured as one sex and is now

changing into another.

Is this just like

a theory of yours,

or is this something

that actually happens in nature?

I can't find

any historical evidence

that a fish like Woody

has ever changed,

but clams, the clownfish,

shrimp--

a bunch of others have.

Yeah. Yeah.

But why now with Woody?

Because that's the...

- The threat to survival.

I think this is Woody's way

of opening

the door back up

to reproduction, man.

Dude, dude,

this is f*cking nuts.

f*ck, yeah, it is.

It's f*cking insane, bro.

- But it feels fast.

- It does.

- Diane just died.

It would be like evolution

in two days.

I know, I know, but with

no more females left,

there was a greater need

for efficiency.

Are we talking like...

Like brand-new, yummy,

baby fish?

I'm sure as sh*t hoping that

that's where this leads to.

So maybe we're not gonna die?

Well...

Holy sh*t! Yeah!

You said it. You said it.

You said it.

I didn't believe you.

You're always saying it.

You're always like,

"Whoa, you know what?

We're gonna find a way."

Dude.

- What?

- Life finds a way.

Oh, sh*t.

You didn't just quote

"Jurassic Park," did you?

I think

somebody else said it first.

Well, then, son,

if that's what it takes for you

to get your head up

around this thing, yeah, baby.

Life just found

a m*therf*cking way.

[Both laughing]

I mean, Woody's a she.

This is crazy.

Well, almost.

I mean, anatomically,

from exterior observations,

he's nearly there,

or she's nearly there.

And I would only presume

that internal ovaries

are progressing

at a similar rate,

given that the testes absorption

is nearly complete.

Wait, what? Testes...

Absorption. Woody's...

Woody's [sucking]

will soon no longer be.

[Laughing]

What's going--

Where are you going?

This is a...

Woody, you just

saved our lives.

This is...

- Oh!

- What?

Oh!

Aah!

- Aah!

Holy sh*t, bro.

Where'd your d*ck go?

- It's there!

- Where?

- It's-- It's hiding.

- Is it shrinking?

- No, it's not shrinking.

- Let me see.

Wait, wait.

You don't need those.

- Let me see.

- Wait.

- I have a doctorate.

- In biochemistry.

- Among other things.

- Not the time to brag.

I'm just trying to see

what's going on.

Okay, okay, okay.

Just don't touch anything.

Alright? What's happening?

What?

[Groans]

You see, that's-- that's--

I'm not--

I'm not a fish

turning into a lady fish.

I didn't say you were

turning into a lady fish.

Good. Because that would

be f*cking insane.

I said you appeared to be

exhibiting similarly to Woody.

What? So you're saying I'm

exhibiting turning into a woman?

Well, I'm saying that I think

your biological sex organs

may be changing like Woody.

- No.

What's happening to Woody

has nothing to do

with this situation.

I think you maybe have

a point there.

I don't think Woody

is causing this.

I think you're separately,

but convergently evolving.

Say what?

It's what happens

when two different species

evolve similarly based upon

similar environmental pressures.

In this case,

the threat of extinction.

I don't want to hear

about evolution.

Am I losing my d*ck?

Yes or no?

Not entirely.

I think it's gonna

become your clitoris.

My clitoris.

Because I'm getting... a vag*na?

[Laughing]

No--

No, that's not happening.

You're gonna take this

and you're gonna go back

and you're gonna do

some more research

and some more calculations

because that's wrong.

That's impossible what

you're talking about there.

The impossible is happening.

Are you f*cking

smiling right now?

- I'm sorry.

- Don't you f*cking smile.

- It's just incredible, man.

- I fail to see

how this is incredible.

- Scientifically speaking.

It's what you said, Billy,

life is finding a way.

I was just excited

when I said that.

This is what's happening.

We may be watching

accelerated evolution.

I just...

I want it to be something else.

I want it to be I got cold.

I want it to be I'm getting old

and it's shrinking up.

Like I saw my grandpa in

a shower and it was like half.

Hey, listen, it's just--

Will you hold on for one second?

Just hold on.

Hold on for one second.

- Sure. I'll just hold on.

- Here we go.

- No problem.

- Here we go.

- I don't want that.

- Take this.

- I don't want it.

- No, you need to see.

Okay? Trust me.

It's more than just your p*nis.

Just look.

What do you mean, more?

Oh, my God. What is--

Is my sack stretching

or is it tearing?

What? What is that?

That's your scrotum's

raphe line, buddy.

- Raphe-- What?

- Yeah, it's okay.

I think it's just opening

back up, you know?

What the f*ck do you mean?

Opening back up?

Don't tell me that's okay.

It starts like that

in early embryonic development.

And then for dudes, it closes up

to make your b*ll s*ck.

So I'm thinking it's just,

you know, reverting back.

Where the hell are my ba*ls

gonna go?

Oh, God, I'm gonna pass out.

I'm passing out.

Don't pass out.

Stop trying

to control the situation.

Okay?

This is my situation,

and I still haven't seen enough

to prove this theory of yours.

You said this was impossible.

Okay? If it's impossible,

there has to be

a rational explanation.

Don't-- Don't you dare f*cking

say that right now.

Say what?

This has nothing to do with

your stupid bowling-ball theory.

Okay? Ray, listen to me.

This is reality.

This is my life.

This is my ba*ls.

Hey, man.

There was a bowling ball, Billy.

Well, you know,

I wasn't there,

so I'm calling bullshit

on that and bullshit on this.

So what do you want to do,

man? Just wait and see?

[Sighs]

I just-- Can you--

Can you just give me,

like, a minute? I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'll leave you alone.

- I'm sorry.

- I'll go check on Woody.

You need anything?

- Yeah.

Could you stop saying that, please?

Yeah, man.

I said no more bowling ba*ls.

No, no, Woody.

But, yeah, now that

you mention it,

ba*ls, too.

Doo, doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

Wow.

Doo, doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

[Sighs]

Doo, doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

This is gonna take him

a while to accept.

It's hard to ignore, but it's

something that's happening.



Add to that, this random

green light

suddenly appears out of nowhere and...

[Sighs]

...everything is feeling

a bit unbelievable.

And we all know that Billy does

not do well with unbelievable.

When I was 8, my mom hired a

magician for my birthday party.

This guy sets up a big white pad

of paper on an easel,

and he flips

through the whole thing.

That shows that

all the pages are blank

and that there's nothing

hidden on the inside.

And then he asks me,

What do I want for my birthday?

And I say, "A bowling ball."

So he draws one--

big, round circle

with three small holes.

It's to proportion,

and then he hands me the marker,

closes the pad and motions

for me to step back.

And as I do,

he opens the pad back up

and out drops...

- [Groans]

Hey. Billy.

Billy?

- What the f*ck, man?

Just making sure you're okay.

I was-- I was okay. Jesus.

- Can I get you anything?

- No, I'm trying to sleep.

[Sighs]

How's it going down there?

I can't hear you

under the covers.

I asked if there's

any more progress.

- Ew!

- I know. Sorry.

Leave me alone, man.

Leave me alone.

Alright.

Let me know

if you need anything, okay?

- Mnh.

- Ahh.

Te-da-lo, te-da-lo,

te-da-lo, te-da-lo

[Vocalizing continues]



[Clock ticking]

- Are you hot?

- Mnh-mnh.

- What was that?

- What was what?

You don't have to let me win

just because you feel bad

for me, Ray.

Why would I feel bad for you?

Hmm?

It's your move.

Dude, why wouldn't you

take the k*ll?

- Because I want to earn my win.

- Since when?

What?

- You notice it's growing.

- What?

Green light. It's growing.

- Wait. Are you sure?

- Positive.

It's definitely gotten

bigger since yesterday.

Great. Something else

f*cking scary to be dea--

Be nice to at least know

what it is, you know?

Yeah, it would.

But not knowing kind of

keeps hope alive.

[Scoffs] You-- You--

You know what? I...

Maybe this is a good spot

to just take a little break.

Okay?

- We're almost done.

[Sniffs]

What, I smell or something?

[Sniffs]

No, no, it's just different.

[Vocalizing]



Nice.

Nice.

Why me? Why not you?

I'm way more masculine than you.

[Snorts] Sorry.

No, you're not.

Look, the movie "Sneakers"

is emotional.

That wasn't my fault.

Okay, Billy, masculinity has

nothing to do with it.

Scientifically, I guess

it's about which body

is better equipped

for transformation.

How does that not speak

to my masculinity?

You're not the first person

to have genitals

they don't want.

- It's easy for you to say.

I want to keep my f*cking d*ck.

This is bullshit.

There's literally no reason

this should be happening

to me versus you.

Maybe.

Oh, you think

this is my fault.

Us being here is just as much

my fault as it is yours.

Bullshit.

You don't believe that.

Oh, please, I do.

Because I'm the one

who put a f*cking meat puppet

in the White House.

Switch.

Dude. I said switch,

you f*cking idiot.

Don't call me a puppet and

don't call me a f*cking idiot.

I did way more than that

and you know it.

You're just being too big

of an as*h*le to admit it.

Dude, you're right because

it would have been better

if you'd done nothing

rather than all

the horrendous sh*t you did do.

Do you think this is

equitable retribution?

Oh, look who's got

the big words now.

- f*ck you, man. f*ck off.

- f*ck you, Dude.

I can't believe you were

the f*cking president, bro,

because you f*cking sucked!

Doo, doo, doo, doo,

doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo

[Vocalizing]



[Video-game sounds]



Occupied.

You know...

I think I may go mad in here

if two fish are the only people

that I have left to talk to.

Hey, you guys know

I'm a registered Democrat?

Yeah.

I never deliberately

kept that from Billy.

Pretty sure he knew

and just chose to ignore it.

It's always been easier for him

to play ignorant rather than,

say, have to explain

why one of his lead advisers

is playing for the other team.

It's all about not

facing things, right?

Especially the sh*t

he can't explain.

That's why he always freaks out

whenever I say bowling ball.

You know...

I don't know why I ever thought

he would change.

What he's going through...

...I can only imagine

how scary and confusing

this must be for him.

And, yeah.

I'm glad it's not

happening to me.

Still, I wish you could see that

this is about more than just us.

There's goodness in change.

Possibility, right?

Some people call it hope.

I call it magic.

Sometimes you can't explain

all the magic in the world.

He wore a blue

polka dot bow tie.

He had curly hair.

- Hmm?

At your 8th birthday party.

The magician.

Are you admitting you

were there?

No. No, I'm not saying that.

Memory is a tricky thing.

And, you know,

I'm thinking maybe my memory

might be becoming yours.

I don't know.

I never told you that

he was wearing a bow tie.

Right?

I'm sure you probably--

You probably did.

Billy,

you saw a bowling ball, man.

I don't-- I'm not saying

what I saw

or what I heard.

- Okay, sure.

Look.

We were f*cking kids, okay?

And-- And he's a magician.

- Right.

That's the whole point,

is to stump us.

I mean, you know how to pull

a quarter out of an ear, right?

That's what that is.

But this was more than

just a quarter, man.

Because I can't hide a bowling

ball up my f*cking sleeve, bro.

Sorry.

You said what you heard, right?

What you heard.

- So what?

What did you hear?

I heard the...

the sound of the bowling ball

hitting the ground and...

You know, that's-- that--

that's how he got it

to feel real.

That's because it was real, man.

And I was standing right there

and you remember it, too.

And that's why you never want

to talk about it,

because then you'd have to face

what you saw

and what you heard, dude.

Ray, you are so smart.

Why are you so fixated

on this stupid old trick?

It's because of that thud.

It's because of that sound

that the bowling ball made.

It made that loud thud,

and we couldn't explain it, man.

That thud was magic

becoming real, man.

Dude, I-I'm not trying to be critical.

There's a part of me

that I f*cking love

that you believe this.

I love that about you.

And I feel you.

And I know--

I know you're even trying to

make me feel better,

but it's--

It's kind of making it worse.

It's just not

what I need right now.

Okay.

- Sorry.

- It's okay.

What do you need right now?

That works.

Yeah.



You want to start?

Yeah. Yeah. Um...

So...

We put a hand over?

Alright. Yeah.

Yeah. [Clears throat]

Okay.

We're gathered here today

to commemorate

and remember... Billy's p*nis.

As advisor to the President,

I hereby confer upon you

the Presidential Medal

of Honor because...

...we thank you

for your service.

From the moment I knew you,

I loved you.

Sometimes I felt I was the one

attached to you

and not the other way around.

You made me feel beautiful

and powerful.

- Hmm.

I could--

I could take over the world.

I could do anything.

And...

And I let you lead me.

And-- And I know-- I know

that it wasn't always in the--

in the perfect direction,

but I...

I think that you--

You had our best interests

in mind, I think.

Actually, I don't know

if that's true.

[Sighs]

[Breathing heavily]

I'm really confused.

Uh, it's like I want

to say goodbye,

but I don't want

to say goodbye.

[Crying] I want to...

Does that make me a bad person?

No, not at all.

You take your time.

sh*t. I want to...

Oh, f...

Okay.

Bye.

Goodbye.

[Vocalizing]



- You sit tight. I'll be back.

- Hey, hey, hey, Riggs.

You're acting strange, man.

What's the matter with you?

There's a b*mb

in that building!

There's a b*mb

in that building.

There's a b*mb

in that building!

You know how I know there's

a b*mb in that building?

'Cause I got eight days

to retirement,

and I will not make

a stupid mistake.

There is no b*mb

in that building.

I will bet vital parts

of my anatomy to the fact.

What's up?

You okay if we watch

something else actually?

Hmm... this is my favorite,

dude. Come on. It's my pick.

No, I'm just not

really in the mood.

- What? For the best movie ever?

- Oh, come on.

This isn't even the best

in the series.

Dude, Joe Pesci is great in

this one with the white hair,

Always freaking out.

"Okay. Okay."

Come on.

I thought you liked this movie

because Riggs reminds you

of your dad.

No, he does.

It's just...

I don't know, something about

it's kind of making me feel

a little sad or something.

Because one of them

goes rogue,

makes a stupid mistake

and blows everything up?

Actually, I hadn't made

that parallel before.

Thank you for that.

- You got it.

No, just, um...

It's weird.

It's like making me

miss the team

that-- that we used to be,

you know?

What are you talking about?

And we're not... No?

- I don't know.

- Dude.

We're still a team, right?

A team that's gonna keep

watching this sh*t.

Come on, give me that.

Give me that.

Give me--

- You know what?

You know what? It's all good.

You win. You win.

We can keep watching.

You don't have to...

- Come on.

- You don't have to let me win.

Why are you moving around,

man? What's going on?

I gotta go to the bathroom

real quick.

You want to wait for you?

No, I'm good.

You keep playing.

[Door closes]

Okay.

[Vocalizing]

No, no, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no, no

- Morning.

- Thank you.

Woody.

Did you just make a b*ner jab?

I was attempting to use

some humor

to address the elephant

in the room.

Okay, fine. You know what?

We should talk about it.

It's admittedly hard for me--

- [Laughing] Sorry.

I'm trying to be serious.

Alright?

I am a straight man

that hasn't seen

a touch of titty

in a number of years. Okay?

I didn't mean

to have a reaction.

Look, it's cool.

It's totally cool, man.

Alright, I get it.

We're like brothers.

I was just giving you

a little sh*t, you know?

Plus, that wasn't the elephant

I was talking about.

Go look in the pond.

Take a look.

[Speaks indistinctly]

Whoa.

Holy sh*t, dude.

Oh, my God. Whoo!

Oh, and the eggs...

When I say eggs, you say...

What?

[Both laughing]

[Vocalizing]



63, 64, 65, 66,

67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72...

sh*t, I may have

already counted that one.

I will make an educated guess.

There's just--

There's so many of them.

It's crazy.

Oh, f*ck. No, dude. Sam!

- What?

Sam just ate, like,

five of his babies.

What the f*ck?

Sam's probably gonna eat

a whole lot more than that.

Only 1% actually survive.

They eat their kids?

It's-- He's a parent.

He's supposed to take care

of him. Dude, that's f*cked up.

It's okay.

We'll have enough. Don't--

That's--

That's disturbing, man.

That's really--

- Yeah.

I get it.

Do you want to keep counting?

No, no, no.

I just need to--

- Okay, calm down. It's all...

- Okay. Okay.

How about-- How about

I teach you how to warp?

[Vocalizing]



It's not your week.

Yeah, I was up early.

I just figured I'd do it.

Huh.

Well, thanks.

Wait up. I'll, uh.

I'll come with you.

Right on.

[Straining]

Okay. Are you ready?

Yeah. Let's do it.

Go.

Oh, sh*t.

This is... different.

Um...

is it okay if we walk

actually?

- Yeah.

- I'm sorry.

That's okay.

So you're up early?

- Yeah. I couldn't sleep,

so I was just

watching the fish, you know,

actually kind of getting into

the whole cycle of life thing.

It's this one little runt

in there who's fighting

like hell to make it.

I'm kind of rooting for her.

- What'd you name it?

- I haven't yet.

I'm, uh, I'm recognizing

I might be getting

a little too attached already.

You know?

- You're incredibly self-aware.

It's probably good

that you recognize that.

There's a lot of...

You think we could make a baby?

Hmm?

Do you think we could?

[Laughing]

Ah, Billy. Billy.

I'm serious.

Alright. Okay.

To make a baby,

you would need to produce eggs.

Yeah, ovulate.

I've read about it.

Okay, so then you

probably know

that you also have to have

a menstruation cycle.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

Wait. What?

- I got my period.

- What?

Why didn't you tell me?

- I don't know.

It's-- It's-- It's--

It's personal, you know?

And I didn't want you

to get all weird about it.

Pull out the goggles

and want to observe it

and, you know...

- Was it-- Was it weird?

Yeah, but it was, um...

...powerful.

- Oh, my God.

It was really cool.

Holy sh*t, dude.

Wow. Wow.

- So...

- So what?

- So...

- What?

So I've been looking

at these fish,

and I'm watching them

become a family.

And there is a part

of me that is...

...that's starting to ache.

William.

What are you--

What are you asking me?

Think about how cool

it would be to have

a cute little baby around.

You must be out

of your g*dd*mn mind.

Are you crazy?

What, it's okay for the fish?

It's not okay for us?

The fish procreating

helps us survive,

not having another mouth to feed

because you all of a sudden

developed a biological clock.

I'm sorry.

I thought you were the one

who's all hopped up

on the wonder of possibility.

Bowling ball,

bowling ball--

You're not a scientist, Billy,

so I don't expect you

to understand.

But without proof,

I'm not gonna experiment.

Sure, but isn't that

what an experiment is?

A way to get proof?

- No, not in this case it's not.

Well, fine. Okay, then,

we already have proof.

It's in the pond.

There it is.

- Humans are not fish.

- Right.

But you said that we seem to be

evolving similarly to the fish.

Hold on. Are you not

the least bit curious to see

if this could actually

work scientifically?

As a scientist.

Science thing.

- Scientifically speaking?

- Yeah. Mr. Wizard.

I am technically curious

about analyzing

the prospects

of this experiment.

Yes, the possibility

is exciting,

but f*ck no, dude.

Not the way

you're talking about it.

Okay?

How are you, of all people,

even comfortable having

this conversation?

Well, if you hadn't noticed,

Ray, I'm changing a little bit.

I thought you of all people

could appreciate that.

Appreciate you wanting

to have sex with me?!

- What?

- You're not--

I thought--

- Dude, no!

- No!

- Not even.

- Okay.

- This is...

Okay. My-- Okay.

I'm talking

you go into a cup,

we insert it into my hole

and-- and the legs up and...

Billy, that's not

gonna work.

- Why not?

- Okay, first of all,

sperm dies

incredibly quickly, okay?

You can't just get pregnant by

sticking it up in your vag*na.

Okay, fair enough.

I'm still learning

about this stuff.

I just thought that could be,

like, experiment number one.

- And then what?

- And then... I don't know.

Like, that's where you come in.

We start to teamwork.

You're the scientist.

You got any ideas?

- No.

- Why can't we talk about it?

- Because we can't.

- Why not?!

It's too f*cking weird.

So you're the

registered Democrat, right?

What?

You're the one that's all

progressive and sh*t, huh?

- So?

- So I don't understand

why you're being

such a d*ck about this.

Because you're not

a f*cking dude anymore.

No, I got lady bits now.

Isn't that what you like?

No, dude, it's not what I like.

It was enough to give

you a b*ner last time.

Billy, shut the f*ck up.

sh*t. You're scared.

I ain't scared of hit, Billy,

back up.

- Who's being a p*ssy now?

- Come on, dude.

- I'll get you there again.

- Billy.

You want me to?

I'll get you there right now.

Come on. I'll get you there.

- Billy.

- I'm asking you to stop.

- Come on.

I'm not a f*cking fa...

God.

[Door opens]

[Door closes]

[Vocalizing]



[Video-game sounds]



[Clock ticking]

[Sighs]

Hey, Woody,

how you doing in there?

Doing all right next to Sam

all the time?

It's not easy.

I get it, you know?

He's very smart.

He's very charming, talented.

Kind of better

than you at everything.

Yeah, you're not

the brightest bulb in the bunch.

I know it makes you fussy

sometimes, but, um...

Do you tell him

how much you look up to him?

Um...

it's important

that he knows that.

You know, he makes mistakes,

but not like you make mistakes,

you know?

You all know

that I ruined the world?

That was me.

I did that. Um...

Sometimes I like to...

kind of play it off

like it was a mistake,

but, um...

...I think I knew

what I was doing.

I just wish I knew then

what I know now, you know?

Me too.

[Vocalizing]



Sorry, man.

- No, I'm sorry.

No, I can turn around.

- Thanks.

- Mm-hmm.

You know the family

that I came from, Billy.

A man was a man

with a very narrow,

rigid definition

of what that meant

with no room to vary.

Yeah, man, I get it.

My parents were

super h*m*, too.

It's more than that, man.

And that mold of men

and manliness...

it is so ingrained in me, bro.

And I spent my whole life

trying to be a more open person.

But when pushed...

...I just defaulted back

into those old molds.

Scares me how quick that switch

could be flipped back on.

Yeah.

[Sighs]

I know you.

I known you my whole life,

and you are way more

than those shitty impulses.

We got to be more

than that, right?

I should have

stopped you back then.

I should have let you,

you know.

When I asked you

to build me this thing, I...

I-I never thought we were

gonna need it, man. I just...

- I did.

- You d-- Really?

I had a hunch.

I mean, I just-- I just gave

you this task because...

I was just trying

to distract you.

- How so?

- All the managing.

You know, like, the...

I just wanted

to get away from it.

I'd-- I'd--

I'd finally made it

and I...

Yes. With help.

But...

I just wanted to prove

I could do it on my own

without you being my--

my secret sauce all the time.

Yeah.

I never showed you how to warp

because I liked having

special powers over you.

Helped me not feel under you.

I didn't mean to make

you feel under me.

I know, but you did.

Yeah, that-- that's not all

on me, though, dude.

I wasn't...

Sorry. Let me s--

I think a lot of the way

I was acting there, that--

I was just afraid, you know,

because you're--

I saw that.

And I kept pushing.

- [Sighs]

I kept, um... managing...

[Chuckles]

...to the point where

you just pushed me away.

Relegated me to go

build you a dome.

Well...

...it is an excellent dome.

- Hey, thanks, man.

- Yeah.

[Both chuckling]

Just can't help but think

about all the...

...incredible things

you could have done

for the world...

if I had...

...given you the space

for that, you know.

f*ck yeah.

Also don't give yourself

that much credit.

Alright? Just...

Anyway about that whole

procreation thing...

that was a dumb idea

and probably wouldn't

have worked anyway, so...

It actually could work really.

W-- W--

Then why couldn't we even

just talk about it?

Besides the obvious, dude?

I don't know, but I just...

We don't even know if your body

could handle the pregnancy.

Yeah, we could lose the baby.

No, Billy, dumb a*s.

I'm worried about losing you.

- You want to go play a game?

- Sure.

We have to keep it

purely scientific.

There's potential

for advancement, then...

I guess you could say I wouldn't

be a very good scientist

if I didn't at least try to test

for all possible outcomes.

Uh, yeah, I mean,

that makes sense.

Mm-hmm.

[Cracks knuckles]

- So...

- So.

Yeah, so, uh...

should we start with my idea?

You know, like,

you in the cup and I...

Yeah. Come on, dude.

I literally question

whoever taught you sex ed, man.

We were in the same class.

Like, I was the one who asked

about the precum on the tip.

They would say anything

to get us to not stick it in

before marriage.

Okay, so what

about senior year?

Remember Scotty?

He claimed he pulled out,

but he still got

his girlfriend pregnant.

Of course I remember,

'cause it freaked you out.

Yeah.

I didn't lose my virginity

until sophomore year of college.

Because that's...

- That's not why you didn't.

Don't do that. Don't do that.

Point is, he pulled out,

a little bit got in, and--

and she got pregnant.

So that is a strategy

that could maybe work for us?

Not only did I never

believe that,

because it's

damn near impossible,

it also sounds like

you're asking me

to jack off into your crotch.

I just don't know

how to do this non-sexually.

I'm trying to, like--

- Okay.

- I'm spitballing.

No, wait, hold on.

That's a good point.

Since when is trying

to make a baby actually sexy?

Remember when a bunch

of our friends

were going crazy

trying to get pregnant?

There's nothing sexy.

It was like they were

showing up for an oil change.

Right?

[Making mechanical noises]

Temperature checks,

fluid checks.

- Feeling warm.

- Here comes the calendar.

Is that the right temperature?

Yeah. It's just mechanical.

- That's it.

- All about making a baby.

That's it.

Keep your eye on the prize.

You focus up.

- Exactly.

We just got to figure

out our mechanics now.

- What's our formula?

- Right.

You know, we got

the A plus B equals C,

and then we got to put the

P and the V, and then voila.

Scientifically speaking,

I like that.

- Okay, okay.

- There you go.

- Okay.

- Alright, so, um...

So, A.

- What's A?

A is I lay down. Yep. Right?

- Okay.

- I'll start...

You know, I just lay here.

If I lay like this?

And then I would just have to,

you know, get hard somehow.

- We could put on some music.

- Nah, that's too sexy-time.

I could show you my t*ts.

You could.

But I wouldn't want you

to do that. That's way too much.

No, we need to keep this

mechanically focused.

Okay.

I could just literally not move.

Yeah, that might work.

And then I would just...

I would just get on top

and get right in there.

That's it.

You probably

have to move a little bit

to let me in, though, right?

- Yeah, right.

- Yeah.

- Get you an angle.

- Yeah, okay. Yeah, I like that.

Ain't nothing sexy about that.

- Okay.

- Yeah.

I mean, that's...

- Whoaaaahh-ahhhh!

- We're gonna get--

Billy, you talking

about right now?

You want to do this?

I feel like

if we keep talking about it,

we're just gonna wimp out.

We got to get in there,

deposit and get out.

Oh, sh*t. Yeah.

Okay. Right. A-Agreed.

Okay, so I'll do this.

You just look away.

Don't look at my face.

- I'm not gonna look at anything.

- I'll get doing this.

I think the hair

on your legs, though,

might throw me off a little bit, right?

Well, I can pull these down.

I know, but I think, like,

all your hair,

like the face and the head

and all of this stuff, the hair.

Right, just the whole...

Right, right.

Okay, well, look,

you'd already be hard then,

so you could just

close your eyes.

I don't think--

I think it might be dangerous

for me to walk around with,

like, my eyes closed and a--

and a b*ner out.

You know what I mean?

- Yeah, that's a good point.

That's what I was thinking.

That's what I was thinking.

Okay, how do we get

our crotches to touch

but nothing else

and also not see anything?

I don't know.

Okay, okay. Um...

I'm getting,

like, half an idea here.

- Okay.

- Um...

You-- You get rampin'.

We're still doing it?

We're still doing it now,

though, right?

- Yep.

- Yep? Okay.

- We can take a bit.

- Got it.

Okay, so you get going.

I'm gonna go away for a second,

but you just don't think

about my my face

or my hairy legs

or anything, okay?

And then when you're ready,

I'm gonna come back.

I'm gonna make sure

that you don't see

anything you don't want to see.

- How are you gonna do that?

- I don't know yet.

I'm gonna figure it out.

But let's get you--

You go behind the TV.

- That's where I'm going?

- You get it. Okay.

- I'm going over here.

- Alright.

- Okay.

- You got this.

- [Barbells clink] Thank you.

- I believe in you!

- Okay.

Oh. Ohh.

[Rattling in distance]

What's going on?

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about me.

You just think boobs and a*s.

[Quietly] Boobs and a*s. t*tties.

[Humming to self]

You let me know

when you get close.

Stop talking.

Mm.

Okay. Alright.

Okay, I'm all set.

Don't say anything.

I'm just gonna come

straight over in here.

Alright, here we go.

[Humming to self]

Alright.

[Table clatters] Ooh!

Oh, sh*t.

Dude, this is the plan?

You-- You want me to answer?

You told me not to talk.

You look like a one-eyed ghost!

Just stick it in the hole, dude.

Ahh! Stick it in the mother--

Okay. Okay. Here we go.

[Groans]

Okay. Okay.

Mm.

Okay. You okay?

Yeah, I'm good. You okay?

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

So it's a vag*na.

Oh, f*ck.

Mm.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

[Vocalizing]



[Insects chirp in distance]

[Sighs]

Hey.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I--I am.

Are youokay?

Yeah.

I think I am.

[Sighs]

Alright, Ray. We want fast?

We want slow?

What are we feeling?

- Uh, you pick.

- It's my pick.

["I Love the Night" by Zeus

plays]

Okay.



May I have a tomato, please?

One tomato coming up.

Sometimes late at night

- Oh!

- What are you doing?

What are you doing?

- Okay. It's coming. Ready?

- I don't believe you.

Whoa-whoa-oh!

Oh!

It's okay. NOW I'm feeling it.

We got a shaker.

I got it it in the back.

I got it in the back.

I put on my clothes

and I grab my hat

I go walking

out on the street

It's a different world

for crazy boys and girls

There's no telling

who you might be in the night

I love the night,

I can go where I want

I can do anything

that I please

I love the night

This is the time that I like

I love the night

Down the avenue

and up the boulevard

Like we're walking

into the night

Cars are passing by,

buildings touch the sky

I can do anything I like

Smoke a cigarette,

maybe have a drink

There's no worry,

I take my time

It's a crazy life,

but it's the one I like

There's no telling what you

might find in the night

I love the night

I can go where I want

I can do anything

that I please

I love the night

Yeah, I love the night

I love the night

I don't want to be lost

I don't want to be found

I just want to be by myself

Sometimes I wanna laugh,

sometimes I wanna cry

Sometimes I just

close my eyes



That's good. Come on.

That's good. It's good.

Oh, no, now you're not

gonna get up.

- Oh, hell, no, dude.

- Come on. Why not?

Because what if it's a girl?

Why can't a girl

be named Mario? It's symbolic.

This baby is

gonna be like the new mascot

for the future of humans.

- Oh, my God.

I don't think I like the idea

of our child being a mascot

or named after an inside joke,

regardless of what gender it is.

You know, I've been thinking

about that a little bit lately.

- About what?

- About gender.

How so?

Well, now that I am growing

life in the belly, I'm...

I'm kind of feeling

a little confused about it.

How so?

Well, I always thought

I was a man, you know?

Mm-hmm.

But is that just because,

like, I had the parts

and that's who I was told

that I was?

So you don't think

you're a man?

No, I...

I actually do think I am a man.

And I think that's what's

confusing me, you know?

It's like--

- Yeah.

So you're...

You're you.

Yeah.

Yeah, I like that.

- Thank you.

That's great, because then I get

to keep calling you "dude."

Oh, hell, yeah. Always, dude.

Come on.

[Groans] Oh, God.

It's so good.

- You like that, don't you?

- Stop it. [Groans]

- Yeah. Take that sh*t.

Oh, dude, it's so good.

Oh, my God. Jesus, dude.

It smells like

you got strep butt.

What?

Wait, I'm a pregnant person.

I can taste it.

Hey, don't stop rubbing.

Not if you're gonna keep

farting in my face. Alright?

Dude,

I'm making life in my belly.

That's just the exhaust that

comes from the factory, okay?

That's just--

Well, you don't have to get

all morose about it.

I mean, it's just--

- I'm not.

Oh, you're thinking about it

again, aren't you?

No, I'm not thinking about it.

Hey. Hey.

You can't be worrying

about it like this, alright?

There's only so much

we can do to prepare.

The baby's going

to do its thing.

We just got to hope my hole

opens up wide enough and...

That's where you normally go,

"That's what she said."

- Yeah.

- You know?

I set you up for that.

You think we deserve

this baby?

I don't know.

I know I blame you.

It literally is my fault, so...

It's not your fault.

If it wasn't you, it would

have been somebody else.

You're just a product

of our species.

I guess the real question

that I don't know about is,

do humans

deserve another chance?

How are you feeling about

that green light these days?

I don't know.

More to lose now if it's bad.

Mm.

[Rattling]

What is it?

- What is it?

- I don't know.

[Walls rattle, wind whistles]

It sounds like a storm.

What? Wouldn't that mean...?

Oh, God. Oh, careful.

Okay.

[Groans]



Ray, what's going on?

Ray! What do you see?

[Thump]

[Glass shatters]

Ray!

It's okay.

It's just the outer layer.

[Glass shatters]

- Ahh!

[Wind whistling]

Here, take this!

Go grab the bedsheets!

Come on!

[Coughing]



Come on.

Watch your feet!



Hold tight!

- I can't!

- Yeah, you can.



[Both coughing]

You okay?

Can't breathe.

You gotta get up to the pod.

- I can't.

- Come on! Come on!

You got it!

I got you.



[Coughing]

- What are you doing?

- We need to empty it.

No, Ray, no!

This is the only thing

that's strong enough to hold.

- They'll die, Ray, no!

- We may die

if we don't

get that thing closed.



One, two...

- Just go.

[Both straining]

[Groans]

Hook it up.



[Wind whistling]

[Groans]



[Wind quiets]

[Gasping breath]

[Storm rattling in distance]



[Groans]

- sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

- We gotta get up.

Wait, do you see that?

Do you see that?

I don't know what I'm seeing.

Yeah. We can see.



Look at all this.

It's like the sky

is opening back up.



This damage is extensive.

Yeah, but we can

fix it, right?

Right?

There's too much.

We don't have the supplies

to tackle all this,

and there's multiple places

where we're down

to the inner stratum.

Yeah, but that's why

we have two.

You know,

I'm gonna go clean up,

see what we can salvage

from the pond.

What about all this?

How's it looking?

I'd say we have enough food

for maybe 40 meals if we ration.

Actually, probably

less than that,

since you're eating for two.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- I shouldn't have done this.

- No, come on. Come on.

Look. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

You had no option, okay?

You were thinking fast

in the moment.

You were saving us.

- I k*lled us, Billy.

- Hey.

- Hmm.

I've been doing some research.

Oh, wow. This really

is the end of the world.

I can read some science sh*t.

Are you not curious

what's going on out there?

I don't have time to sit

and read right now, man.

[Faucet running]

Alright. Sorry.

What can I do to help?

Could you grab

some plastic wrap?

I'm gonna try to keep these

things as fresh as possible.

Where is...?

- Over there.

- Yeah. I knew that.

Hey, Ray?

- Hmm?

Now that I'm being

all helpful and stuff,

wanna hear what I'm researching?

- Humor me.

- Alright.

So as you can see outside--

We don't know what we're seeing.

Well, something could be

better than nothing, right?

- Sure.

- Jesus,

when did I turn

into the optimist here?

What is happening?

Okay. Okay.

Alright, fine. Tell you what.

Humor me

for a second here, okay?

Alright.

What if others survived?

You mean, like,

if other world leaders

had their own Luigi

to save their a*s?

I mean, basically, yeah.

You know, they...

They could be out there

somewhere, you know?

Maybe living

in their own bunker thingy.

Maybe they're pregnant, too.

I mean, who knows, dude?

Even if that were--

We can't go outside.

Oh, look, who knows so much.

You see, this is

where my research comes in.

Because remember

how I was saying

it looked like the sky

was opening up?

- Yeah.

- Well, I read some stuff

about the sky in your little

book over here, okay?

You okay if I get

some fishy hands on your book?

Sorry.

So there's something called

the troposphere layer, alright?

And apparently that's where

weather happens, okay?

Now, I'm not like,

a scientist or...

Oh, my God, that smells awful.

Sorry. Blech.

I'm not a meteorologist, right?

But last night, that seemed

like some weather sh*t to me.

Alright? And it also says

you can't have weather

unless you have an atmosphere.

You see what I'm saying?

Could I be kind of right?

And the green light

was maybe our atmosphere

coming back

or something like that?

I mean, it wouldn't

be that simple.

Well, alright. Fair enough.

You have taught me that nothing

in life is simple, but...

I mean, I just--

Are you gonna make me be the one

to call the magic word or what?

I mean, come on.

- Really?

We're down to

limited food again.

Now we have limited supplies

in a dome

that may not hold much longer,

and we have a baby on the way.

I know.

We have to start thinking

logically at some point.

I get it.

[Sighs]

[Water dripping]



Want coffee?

- Thanks.

- Enjoy it.

It might be the last.

See, it's not too bad.

Did you know just one dude

created Mario Brothers?

What? No.

You knew this whole time

and you didn't--

You know, it kept you busy.

Get out! Get the f--

Get out!

Get the f--

You son of a b*tch.

That's crazy.

I was just thinking

about those dudes this morning.

- Oh, yeah?

- Mm-hmm.

I don't think

you're just Luigi anymore.

So you do admit that

you thought of me as your Luigi?

No, no, no, I was gonna say

that you're not

justLuigi anymore,

and I'm not just Mario.

Because you read

one science book?

No.

Yes. [Laughs]

But it's true, man.

I think we're both.

Or like, we take turns.

Sometimes I'm Mario.

Sometimes you're Luigi.

Sometimes you're the secret

sauce. Sometimes I am.

It's kind of like...

- We're partners.

Team.

This time, with a new mission.

Oh, yeah? What's that?

Well, we got to save

this 8 pounds of magic

in my belly, right?

Look, man.

The thing about us having to

start to think logically,

you know?

I get it. I'm hearing you.

But, um,

none of this is logical.

I mean, look at me.

I'm me, and I'm pregnant.

And more fish were made.

I mean, we're kind of f*cked

that up a little bit, but...

And after years,

yearsof darkness in here,

a f*cking green light came

and a storm.

So yes, yes, I know

there is no logical reason

whatsoever that

we should continue to survive,

but, dude...

You know what? Hold this.

I want--

I want to show you something.

- Okay.

- Alright.

Close your eyes.

What is this, dude?

Some kind of trust exercise?

I don't trust you for sh*t.

You one of them squinty peepers.

Turn around. Turn around.

Okay. Don't look.

- I'm not looking.

- Don't look. Hold on.

[Object dragging]

[Clicking]

Okay. You can turn around.

I'm sorry.

I know that you and I disagree

on what actually

went down that day.

- What?

- How it went down.

Whether I was there or not.

What we heard or didn't hear.

Alright, yeah. Got it.

As you can see,

the pad is empty.

But I think we can agree

on one thing.

A man walked into a room

that day

and where there was previously

no bowling ball...

suddenly...

...there was an 8-pound

bowling ball.

Okay.

And because of that...

and because of this...

we know that things happen

that we cannot explain.

And no matter how hard

and scary things get...



...there's room for hope.

So...

Would you like to try

and prove your magic theory

once and for all, my friend?

Billy.



Hey, no peeking.

[Choir vocalizing]



Okay, done.

[Paper flipping]

[Thud]

All my life,

I've been searching

For a girl like you

And just like a song,

you came along

And then you

pulled me through

Well, I've been up and down,

been all around

But now I finally know

you're the only girl for me

This time, I'm in love

Well, I can't go on

pretending any longer

No, this time, I'm in love

Yes, this time, I'm in love

Well, this time, girl

You know I'm in love

Well, I used to think

Love was just a game

I couldn't play

Time after time,

I'd lose my mind

Trying to give

my heart away

Like a thief in the night,

you came in my life

And when I wasn't looking,

you stole my heart away

This time, I'm in love

You know, this time,

I'm in love

Well, I can't go on

pretending any longer

You know,

this time, I'm in love

Oh, this time, I'm in love

Well, this time, girl

You know I'm in love

I never thought I'd find

someone like you

I didn't think

that love would come my way

Just when I thought

I had to live my life alone

You came into my world

And you're calling out

my name

This time, I'm in love

You know,

this time, I'm in love

Well, I can't

go on pretending any longer

This time, I'm in love

You know, this time,

I'm in love

Well, this time, girl

You know I'm in love
