Shut up?
Speaker 5 (04:36):
Wait?
Speaker 10 (04:37):
When does Beyonce hit the island?
Speaker 13 (04:39):
Beyonce? I love her new album Renaissance, in which she
honors the queer history of dance music jonas, Oh, by
the way, there's a big hurricane coming your way. It
might delay us. And oh did you hear about the
Supreme Court?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
They're all dead.
Speaker 13 (04:52):
Everybody's killing each other in DC. The president occurred martial law.
Speaker 10 (04:55):
And it's like, fucking Claude.
Speaker 13 (04:57):
Who's Claude?
Speaker 4 (04:58):
I'm jealous.
Speaker 9 (05:00):
We had a second boat full of food and supplies.
Speaker 10 (05:02):
Oh and a medical staff too.
Speaker 13 (05:03):
Okay, just Beyonce anything.
Speaker 10 (05:07):
Who's there, Carl Kirk?
Speaker 7 (05:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
And Klena.
Speaker 10 (05:10):
She got bit by a gecko and she's not doing
very well.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
My gecko.
Speaker 11 (05:15):
That's not like him.
Speaker 10 (05:16):
Get back in the bunker. CALLI where are we?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It's okay, Lena, We're safe, so tired?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Fuck all right?
Speaker 10 (05:25):
Bring her in, Kirk, Calena, Welcome to the party.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Hey, guys, so Calena's pretty sick tied.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
Offer my bed, but I'm chained to it.
Speaker 11 (05:38):
Take mine. Hey, where's Claude?
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Thank you? Kelly?
Speaker 9 (05:41):
Come on, Lieutenant Casper. How many firearms do we have.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
To assault rifles? Plus your ham gun?
Speaker 11 (05:46):
Wait a minute, so Claude isn't kay anymore?
Speaker 9 (05:48):
Moving on, I've restored the jamming so they can't call
for help upstairs.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Hey, maybe you're both King Jesus Christ, I mean, Kelly,
maybe I'm K two. Maybe we're all ka think about it.
Speaker 11 (06:01):
Maybe whenever we get scared, we all just you know,
step forward and drop a k. I mean, not every
story is written by one person. Gilmore Girls was written
by hundreds of people.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Over decades.
Speaker 11 (06:23):
Wikipedia was written by millions of people over millennia. Could
K just be an ongoing, open source, interactive ritual to
express and amplify our worst fears that we.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Can deal with them.
Speaker 11 (06:42):
Aren't we just conjuring phantoms to explain the bad things
that happen to us, some of which are no one's
fault but our own.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And where does it end?
Speaker 11 (06:54):
Are we just piling story on top of story, atrocity
on top of atrocity, and until a leaning tower of
k stretches to the sky as a monument to the
failure of our institutions in the horror of our digital solitude.
(07:16):
Don't let me, please, do not have me.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Stop up.
Speaker 11 (07:24):
You shut the fuck up, you patronizing ball bags. Oh, Kelly,
she's so sweet. How can she be so hateful? She's
just a tiny fucking pee under my huge ass?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
What to you?
Speaker 11 (07:41):
A woman is just bloody chaos and a man is
pointy purpose. Well you might be a fancy spy guy
or a Hollywood big shot, but I'm a real American.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Your job is to protect and entertain me. You are
nothing without me.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
That was beautiful, Cali, Yes, it was. Yeah, I'm impressed, Kelly.
Speaker 11 (08:09):
Do I get a gun?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
No? So what's the plan, Commander K?
Speaker 9 (08:14):
We need to secure the facility so my boats can land.
Then we can, you know, prepare for the reptoid invasion
or whatever. Lieutenant, Yes, sir, take one of the rifles, Kirk,
take the other.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Look.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
I don't believe in k or reptoids. I just want
to gig Callina to a hospital.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
My yacht will have a full medical staff on board.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
You help us, you get access to.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
That, Okay, Chris, you'll take care of her to we're back, right.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Of course, I will, Kirk.
Speaker 10 (08:44):
Her belly is hugely swollen. I know she was eating
fungus in the cave.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
The fungus look like.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Like black strands under the soil.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
She ate Joan, who the fungus in my shake?
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Lieutenant, put a chain on Claude. We don't want a
trader wandering around. Is Claude Casper?
Speaker 10 (09:02):
You idiot? Check the bathroom?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yes, sir, my.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Baby, I'm your roney.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
No, my baby, Cloude's gone.
Speaker 10 (09:14):
We have to move now.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Wa shit, just got real. It's all good. Let's do
this thing. We got this.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
It is one of the Kelly, give me the gun, Karen.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
When is the storm supposed to hit?
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Ohym Beyonce, it comes when she wants, though. She's really
more of a curator than it creator, isn't she? You
know that seventy two fucking writers are credited on Lemonade
by her sister, so Lunge. She writes her own songs.
(09:57):
She's the real deal. I I'm gonna rename this storm
Hurricane so lunch.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Okay, I'm gonna step out and see if the coms
are still down?
Speaker 10 (10:08):
Hold down the fort Gioco? How much longer?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Please lower your voices? This tunnel leads to multiple entry
points beneath the compound. What the fuck is that?
Speaker 10 (10:22):
Shine the light on it. It's one of those big
I echos.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Stop on it.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
No, it's cute, it's dangerous.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Fuck it's gone. Be careful where you walk. How much longer?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Casper, it's not far, sir.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
Can I be a human shield?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Who's there? Who's in my quarters? Carl? Come out?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I have a gun, Karen, It's okay, it's me Claw
Is that my gun? What?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yes? Oh my god, Claude, where have you been?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I was kidnapped by a rogues. THEIA agent too. Been
living in a bunker under the rehab. He's got Chris, Kelly,
Kalina and Kirk. But now Carl is in charge of
all of them. He's saying he's kay of Kana.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
What I can't understand.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You're probably lying, but they've got guns and they're planning
to take over the island tonight. And also, Karen, martial
law has been declared in the States.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Oh, Claude, kiss me, Karen.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Don't associate stay with me. We're all in grave danger,
not just from Karl, but from Beyonce. So Lange what
she's the real deal. I've been trying to call for help.
But hey, Karen, please focus. Where is everyone sheltering? It's
a common wo that's good. We can barricade ourselves in there,
and then maybe we can convince Casper to join us.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Who's Casper?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
He's the CIA agent, but he's he's really a good guy.
Speaker 11 (11:44):
Claude, I'm asking you again, why are you here?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I wanted to warn you.
Speaker 11 (11:49):
No, you seduced me. You wanted us all dead in
the storeroom.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yeah, I've been having a lot of feelings lately. What
do you mean feelings for someone? Caught me off guard?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Is this?
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Can you give me the gun?
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Have I been a fool?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Claw?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
No? Karen, I like you very much. Just tap your
ass Turan.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
Oh god, I am not really in love with you.
I'm just a sad, fucking bitch.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Take the gun, thank you, Karen. Now let's get over
to the common womb. Who's that?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Where did Kiki go? Karen? Hi, don't shoot.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I'm not shot anybody. Let's get back to the common womb.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We don't have to go down into the store womb.
It's closer.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Good idea, every of us hit are youss?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Claude, Now come on down the stairs.
Speaker 7 (12:49):

Speaker 6 (13:01):
And I'm starving much of this? No, it smells like
the black strands.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Don't drink it chocolate and peanuta.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Your belly is huge.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Oh my god, are you pregnant.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Don't be silly. I don't have a uterus.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Oh what is it? Oh? My stomach?
Speaker 11 (13:21):
Oh goddess, I think you're going into labor.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
We're here. The trap door is at the top of
this ladder.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Is this the best entry point?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yes, they'll never expect us to emerge here. Okay, I'm
pushing the trap door open.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
What's coming out of the floor?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I got blood. What's happening?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Good?
Speaker 3 (13:46):

Speaker 4 (13:47):
There are people up there.
Speaker 5 (13:48):

that happen to us, some of which are no one's
fault but our own.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
And where does it end?
Speaker 11 (06:54):
Are we just piling story on top of story, atrocity
on top of atrocity, and until a leaning tower of
k stretches to the sky as a monument to the
failure of our institutions in the horror of our digital solitude.
(07:16):
Don't let me, please, do not have me.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Stop up.
Speaker 11 (07:24):
You shut the fuck up, you patronizing ball bags. Oh, Kelly,
she's so sweet. How can she be so hateful? She's
just a tiny fucking pee under my huge ass?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
What to you?
Speaker 11 (07:41):
A woman is just bloody chaos and a man is
pointy purpose. Well you might be a fancy spy guy
or a Hollywood big shot, but I'm a real American.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Your job is to protect and entertain me. You are
nothing without me.
Speaker 5 (08:05):
That was beautiful, Cali, Yes, it was. Yeah, I'm impressed, Kelly.
Speaker 11 (08:09):
Do I get a gun?
Speaker 4 (08:10):
No? So what's the plan, Commander K?
Speaker 9 (08:14):
We need to secure the facility so my boats can land.
Then we can, you know, prepare for the reptoid invasion
or whatever. Lieutenant, Yes, sir, take one of the rifles, Kirk,
take the other.
Speaker 7 (08:26):
Look.
Speaker 10 (08:27):
I don't believe in k or reptoids. I just want
to gig Callina to a hospital.
Speaker 9 (08:32):
My yacht will have a full medical staff on board.
Speaker 10 (08:35):
You help us, you get access to.
Speaker 9 (08:37):
That, Okay, Chris, you'll take care of her to we're back, right.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
Of course, I will, Kirk.
Speaker 10 (08:44):
Her belly is hugely swollen. I know she was eating
fungus in the cave.
Speaker 4 (08:49):
The fungus look like.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
Like black strands under the soil.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
She ate Joan, who the fungus in my shake?
Speaker 9 (08:56):
Lieutenant, put a chain on Claude. We don't want a
trader wandering around. Is Claude Casper?
Speaker 10 (09:02):
You idiot? Check the bathroom?
Speaker 4 (09:05):
Yes, sir, my.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
Baby, I'm your roney.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
No, my baby, Cloude's gone.
Speaker 10 (09:14):
We have to move now.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Wa shit, just got real. It's all good. Let's do
this thing. We got this.
Speaker 9 (09:21):
It is one of the Kelly, give me the gun, Karen.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
When is the storm supposed to hit?
Speaker 8 (09:36):
Ohym Beyonce, it comes when she wants, though. She's really
more of a curator than it creator, isn't she? You
know that seventy two fucking writers are credited on Lemonade
by her sister, so Lunge. She writes her own songs.
(09:57):
She's the real deal. I I'm gonna rename this storm
Hurricane so lunch.
Speaker 7 (10:05):
Okay, I'm gonna step out and see if the coms
are still down?
Speaker 10 (10:08):
Hold down the fort Gioco? How much longer?
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Please lower your voices? This tunnel leads to multiple entry
points beneath the compound. What the fuck is that?
Speaker 10 (10:22):
Shine the light on it. It's one of those big
I echos.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Stop on it.
Speaker 10 (10:26):
No, it's cute, it's dangerous.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
Fuck it's gone. Be careful where you walk. How much longer?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Casper, it's not far, sir.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
Can I be a human shield?
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Who's there? Who's in my quarters? Carl? Come out?
Speaker 5 (10:47):
I have a gun, Karen, It's okay, it's me Claw
Is that my gun? What?
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Yes? Oh my god, Claude, where have you been?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
I was kidnapped by a rogues. THEIA agent too. Been
living in a bunker under the rehab. He's got Chris, Kelly,
Kalina and Kirk. But now Carl is in charge of
all of them. He's saying he's kay of Kana.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
What I can't understand.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You're probably lying, but they've got guns and they're planning
to take over the island tonight. And also, Karen, martial
law has been declared in the States.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Oh, Claude, kiss me, Karen.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Don't associate stay with me. We're all in grave danger,
not just from Karl, but from Beyonce. So Lange what
she's the real deal. I've been trying to call for help.
But hey, Karen, please focus. Where is everyone sheltering? It's
a common wo that's good. We can barricade ourselves in there,
and then maybe we can convince Casper to join us.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
Who's Casper?
Speaker 5 (11:39):
He's the CIA agent, but he's he's really a good guy.
Speaker 11 (11:44):
Claude, I'm asking you again, why are you here?
Speaker 5 (11:47):
I wanted to warn you.
Speaker 11 (11:49):
No, you seduced me. You wanted us all dead in
the storeroom.
Speaker 5 (11:53):
Yeah, I've been having a lot of feelings lately. What
do you mean feelings for someone? Caught me off guard?
Speaker 4 (12:01):
Is this?
Speaker 5 (12:03):
Can you give me the gun?
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Have I been a fool?
Speaker 4 (12:06):
Claw?
Speaker 5 (12:06):
No? Karen, I like you very much. Just tap your
ass Turan.
Speaker 11 (12:11):
Oh god, I am not really in love with you.
I'm just a sad, fucking bitch.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Take the gun, thank you, Karen. Now let's get over
to the common womb. Who's that?
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Where did Kiki go? Karen? Hi, don't shoot.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
I'm not shot anybody. Let's get back to the common womb.
Speaker 3 (12:40):
We don't have to go down into the store womb.
It's closer.
Speaker 5 (12:44):
Good idea, every of us hit are youss?
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Claude, Now come on down the stairs.
Speaker 7 (12:49):
What about everyone else?
Speaker 3 (12:50):
Claude, They'll be safe in the common womb. Colleena, are
you eating your hair?
Speaker 6 (13:01):
And I'm starving much of this? No, it smells like
the black strands.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
Don't drink it chocolate and peanuta.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Your belly is huge.
Speaker 5 (13:13):
Oh my god, are you pregnant.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
Don't be silly. I don't have a uterus.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Oh what is it? Oh? My stomach?
Speaker 11 (13:21):
Oh goddess, I think you're going into labor.
Speaker 4 (13:28):
We're here. The trap door is at the top of
this ladder.
Speaker 5 (13:31):
Is this the best entry point?
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yes, they'll never expect us to emerge here. Okay, I'm
pushing the trap door open.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
What's coming out of the floor?
Speaker 4 (13:43):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
I got blood. What's happening?
Speaker 5 (13:44):
Good?
Speaker 3 (13:46):
Fuck?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
There are people up there.
Speaker 5 (13:48):
God damn it. Get out of my way.
