[Korvo] Planet Shlorp was a perfect utopia,
until the asteroid hit.
One hundred adults and their replicants were issued a Pupa,
and escaped into the... space,
searching for new homes on uninhabited worlds.
We crashed on Earth,
stranding us on an already overpopulated planet.
That's right, I've been talking this whole time.
I'm the one holding the Pupa.
My name is Korvo. This is my show.
Bollocks, I just dropped the Pupa.
Ugh. This is ridiculous. I hate Earth.
It's a horrible home. People are stupid and confusing.
Why do all these old billionaires put young people's blood in their veins
when they can be paying to put Gray 55, the robot blood,
directly into their genitals?
That's the good stuff!

I heard there was an old PEZ dispenser out here somewhere.
- Do you think we'll get to see it? - Don't know, don't care.
I wonder what character it is.
Ooh, and what flavor the PEZ is.
Ooh, and if we find it,
I'm gonna crawl up on the top to get a view of the--
Stop trying to make this fun.
That bounty hunter could still be tracking us.
[Sofia] You know, I'm not some naive kid.
I did pretty good with your hippie pal in Sandbox Town, didn't I?
You almost got killed, twice!
Ah, but I didn't.
Meanwhile, you were higher than Matthew McConaughey's kite.
[deep voice] "Oh, I'm Gavin.
"I'm a lightweight who can't handle some mushrooms.
Oh, take me to the hospital, I can't feel my old hands."
I need to deliver these supplies to the NoHo Hank Funko Pop
Terry threw into the yard when Barry turned into a drama.
Nothing in my orders about keeping you alive.
Ooh, what's this thing?
[Gavin] [sighs] Basketballburgh.
I've heard about Basketballburgh!
[gasps] Do they really have a rollercoaster made out of K'nex?
Yeah, but it's the kind that's only scary
because you think it's gonna fall over the whole time.
Maybe if you get to like me, we can be scared of it together.
I don't want to like you. I want to be done with this.
Hyah!

Oh, my God, water!
This better not be a mirage!
Actually, I don't even care. It's so hot, I'll take the illusion.
Something's not right.
Why does it smell like the Smirnoff outlet store?
[dragonfly sizzles, shrieks]
Last one in's a shitty wad of shit.

- What the hell? - Look!
Oh, my God. That dragonfly can't swim.
Someone call a bug lifeguard!
It's not water.

[Sofia] Jesus, what the hell is it?

At our scale, this stuff burns like acid.

Oh, my God, I could've died.
Hey, hey, you didn't. You're okay.

Yeah, well, I don't really like anything.

I broke out the gouda today!
Only the fanciest cheese for our famous friend.

Ah, my charcuterie board!
You know how many TikToks I had to study
to get the meat flopped right?
I told you two to stay out of the kitchen!
[Jesse] Why are you fighting? I thought you were besties.
They're both Geminis.
When Saturn's in their seventh house, good luck!
Neither of them were born on this planet.
The star signs are hecka different.
Gemini energy is bigger than galactic star charts!
You two better suck it up.
Our famous friend's coming over to hang out today.
But what he doesn't know is that it's actually an intervention.
Turns out you can have too much alcohol and heroin,
and weed, and all the other drugs smooshed up into a big ball.
He's going to freak out. Everyone needs to be as quiet as possible
while we spring a friend trap on his ass.
Oh, man, the look on his face when we confront him with his own failings
is gonna be tragic! [chuckles]

[crockery clanking]
Stop it with the sci-fi fight already!

then we're locking you two in the Manc Ave
until the intervention is over!
[Pupa grunts]
You two are like feral cats!
Are we sure it's a good idea to leave them alone?
Yeah, we had to move a lot of dangerous stuff down here
to make room for the intervention in the living room.
Like that laser cannon and the ottoman.
It's all harmless, they'll be fine.
What about this microuniverse in a snow globe?
Or this soul disc you made Terry after he saw Tron?
Oh, yeah, we recorded my soul onto that thing
so I could live in the grid as a program.
I'm hella bicoastal, baby.
I made that up to make you happy.
So I still have my digital soul?
- Not cool! - Ah!
- [Jesse gasps]
Ah!
Whew, you almost released The Thing from The Thing.
That's a Miss Thing, so we don't get sued.
- Wink, wink. - [Miss Thing growls]
[Pupa gasps]
But even in clearable parody form,
this little lady is just as dangerous as her big-screen counterpart.
Ah, geez, we can't leave them down here with Miss Thing.
- She'll eat them and steal their DNA. - [Pupa gasps]
Wow, Jesse, um, women have to support other women.
She's just jealous because Miss Thing rocks a bow better.
We'll just put her way up here. Problem solved.
- [doorbell rings] - [group gasps]
Oh, my stars and garters, I haven't lit the candle in the bathroom yet!
Listen to me, you two,
if either of you come upstairs for even a second,
you're grounded for life!
But if you can make it through this intervention without fighting,
we'll take you to your favorite fast casual French restaurant.
- Au Bon Pain? - Oui. So be good.
Here, just zone out and watch
the director's commentary-only edition of Shrek.
[director] [on screen] For this first scene, I wanted
a sweeping wide shot, but the studio insisted on starting
with Shrek coming out of an outhouse, wiping his ass.
Now a lot of people wanna know how we got the donkey to talk.
No, it's not peanut butter. It was computers.
[♪ suspenseful Western music playing]
You know what I miss about the before-fore?
Being big enough that a raindrop wouldn't kill me?
Yeah, I was gonna say $5 foot longs.
But that raindrop thing really is a problem.
[Hedgey purrs]
- Hedgey, did you just purr at her? - We're friends.
He wraps his little arms around me when we sleep.
I call them hedgehugs.
I've been beggin' you for hedgehugs.
[Hedgey groans]
He makes me feel safe, at least for a minute.
The Yard's a hard place to live,
but I'll take it over the Wall any day.
The Wall didn't have poison lakes.
Worse. I was there for every era.
[crowd roaring]
I stormed the Duke's staircase in Wall War I.
When Tim took over, I helped clean and distribute sex toys to the needy.
I even smuggled Raisinettes over the wall in the Wall
when the Bowinians split off.
[Sofia] No Duke or Bowinians out here.
That's right, this is a simple yard.
Look at us delivering fruit to hungry people, no politics.
That's the way to live.

but ever since the movie came out, you've changed.
You wanna fight the final boss? Look in the mirror.

Get going where exactly? You tossed all the food!
Okay, I know it seems bad.
All we have is an empty cart!
I'm never gonna be able to clear my debt.
Yes, you will.

When you get paid to transport food,

We weren't transporting food!
Oh, I'm sorry, then what were we doing?
We're hauling this.

That's the real payload.
A stupid metal wheel?
It's a valve for a water spigot.
We can use it to turn the sprinklers back on.
Crops will grow again.
Everyone will have all the fruit they want.
- So you lied to me? - I had to.
The grass, everything is dying.
Someone turned the sprinklers off.
They were trying to take all the power and control the yard.
If they knew we had this...
That bounty hunter isn't even after me.
He's after this fuckin' valve.
Okay, technically, yes, but I had no choice.
Look, all you have to do is deliver this spigot to our contact
