1
00:00:01,169 --> 00:00:02,606
Citizens of Krapopolis,
2
00:00:02,673 --> 00:00:04,709
I know that usually
when I call a town meeting,
3
00:00:04,776 --> 00:00:07,447
it's about how many people died
or are going to die,
4
00:00:07,447 --> 00:00:11,790
but today, I'm here to unveil
the new Krapopolis flag.
5
00:00:12,659 --> 00:00:14,261
And then afterwards,
we'll do deaths.
6
00:00:14,328 --> 00:00:16,466
As you can see,
it is a bold cloth
7
00:00:16,534 --> 00:00:19,472
dyed the color blue, which is
the most expensive color
8
00:00:19,540 --> 00:00:22,177
because of how many snails you
have to grind up to make it.
9
00:00:22,210 --> 00:00:25,752
These snails were from Crete.
10
00:00:25,786 --> 00:00:29,091
Flags are a pretty new thing,
so I'll walk you through it.
11
00:00:29,124 --> 00:00:32,031
This flag means us, and then
12
00:00:32,098 --> 00:00:34,202
we have to protect it
with our lives.
13
00:00:34,235 --> 00:00:35,505
Because if anyone takes it,
14
00:00:35,538 --> 00:00:37,241
that means
we've become their prisoners.
15
00:00:37,341 --> 00:00:39,212
That's just
how flags work apparently.
16
00:00:39,279 --> 00:00:40,949
I'm still learning
about them myself.
17
00:00:40,982 --> 00:00:42,384
OK.
18
00:00:42,418 --> 00:00:44,355
I enjoy applause
as much as the next king,
19
00:00:44,388 --> 00:00:46,694
but I also know the difference
between real applause
20
00:00:46,727 --> 00:00:47,729
and the perfunctory kind.
21
00:00:47,896 --> 00:00:50,134
And why are there so few people
here in the first place?
22
00:00:53,173 --> 00:00:54,610
Oh, mother,
you are my mother,
23
00:00:54,643 --> 00:00:58,416
and I am a boy named Alexander,
not Tobias the Bricklayer.
24
00:00:58,483 --> 00:01:02,693
Oh, son, I am your mother,
a woman named Claire,
25
00:01:02,726 --> 00:01:04,629
not Nico who milks goats.
26
00:01:04,696 --> 00:01:07,267
Why are they doing this?
That's Nico.
27
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:09,807
- We can all see it's Nico.
- Shh.
28
00:01:09,873 --> 00:01:11,342
Mother, I am hungry.
29
00:01:11,375 --> 00:01:13,881
I say this as Alexander
the boy.
30
00:01:13,948 --> 00:01:15,117
Tobias has already eaten.
31
00:01:15,184 --> 00:01:17,522
This is the coolest thing
I've ever seen.
32
00:01:17,555 --> 00:01:20,294
Here is some bread to eat.
My hands are not empty.
33
00:01:20,327 --> 00:01:23,668
They're holding bread.
I am a 30-year-old woman.
34
00:01:24,570 --> 00:01:26,439
I'm sorry,
what are we watching?
35
00:01:26,473 --> 00:01:28,110
It's a brand new art form
I came up with.
36
00:01:28,177 --> 00:01:29,780
I call it a play.
37
00:01:29,846 --> 00:01:31,449
The opposite of work.
38
00:01:31,517 --> 00:01:34,556
I am fed,
once again as Alexander.
39
00:01:34,589 --> 00:01:38,196
And I am happy as Claire,
even though you all know
40
00:01:38,230 --> 00:01:40,300
I just lost my son
in real life.
41
00:01:40,334 --> 00:01:42,806
He did lose his son.
It's true.
42
00:01:46,179 --> 00:01:49,351
Craig, what can I even say?
43
00:01:49,418 --> 00:01:52,057
- That was amazing.
- Oh, thank you.
44
00:01:52,124 --> 00:01:54,461
- Cool idea, right?
- Very cool idea.
45
00:01:54,529 --> 00:01:56,767
How did you get it?
I mean, where did it come from?
46
00:01:56,834 --> 00:02:00,040
- How-- how did you do that?
- I don't know, I got inspired.
47
00:02:00,074 --> 00:02:01,342
Wait a minute.
48
00:02:01,409 --> 00:02:03,548
When you say inspired,
do you mean the idea
49
00:02:03,614 --> 00:02:04,917
just came to you
out of nowhere?
50
00:02:04,983 --> 00:02:06,286
Yeah.
51
00:02:06,352 --> 00:02:08,223
And you felt compelled
to just drop everything
52
00:02:08,290 --> 00:02:10,160
and pursue it
and couldn't have let it go,
53
00:02:10,226 --> 00:02:13,066
- even if you had wanted to?
- Yeah, I guess.
54
00:02:13,133 --> 00:02:14,368
- Run.
- Run?
55
00:02:14,435 --> 00:02:17,275
- Because a citizen was inspired?
- By muses.
56
00:02:21,215 --> 00:02:22,519
Oh, no.
57
00:02:22,586 --> 00:02:25,224
Protect the flag.
Protect the flag.
58
00:02:28,196 --> 00:02:35,544
♪ ♪
59
00:02:51,944 --> 00:02:53,479
Get out.
Shoo.
60
00:02:53,547 --> 00:02:56,419
- Make it go towards the window.
- All right. Everybody relax.
61
00:02:56,453 --> 00:02:58,758
- Science to the rescue.
- We're relaxed.
62
00:02:58,825 --> 00:03:00,595
This will keep them
from getting in our heads
63
00:03:00,628 --> 00:03:02,598
and giving us ideas
we wouldn't normally have.
64
00:03:02,632 --> 00:03:05,370
- Muses hate copper.
- Everyone does.
65
00:03:05,403 --> 00:03:07,876
Top five worst metals, easy.
66
00:03:07,942 --> 00:03:09,946
This'll buy me a little time
to come up with
67
00:03:10,013 --> 00:03:10,781
a more permanent solution.
68
00:03:10,882 --> 00:03:12,920
I don't see
why getting good ideas
69
00:03:12,986 --> 00:03:14,288
is such a big problem.
70
00:03:14,355 --> 00:03:16,259
Who said anything
about good ideas?
71
00:03:16,325 --> 00:03:17,763
Most ideas are terrible.
72
00:03:17,829 --> 00:03:19,800
Anything that takes
one's mind off sex
73
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:24,242
is automatically suspect
in my book, my sex book.
74
00:03:24,275 --> 00:03:26,479
It's a book about
sexual philosophy.
75
00:03:26,547 --> 00:03:29,352
- It's a very sexy book.
- You know what?
76
00:03:29,419 --> 00:03:31,289
I'm sorry,
what is going on up here?
77
00:03:31,323 --> 00:03:32,526
Right?
OK, thank you.
78
00:03:32,559 --> 00:03:33,627
Thought I was going crazy.
79
00:03:33,661 --> 00:03:35,163
Yeah, I wasn't
going to say anything.
80
00:03:35,197 --> 00:03:36,567
Is this a bit or--
81
00:03:36,634 --> 00:03:39,305
I have neither the faintest
nor foggiest idea
82
00:03:39,371 --> 00:03:41,209
what any of you are saying.
83
00:03:41,276 --> 00:03:43,312
Nor have I,
nor has any one of us,
84
00:03:43,346 --> 00:03:45,685
yourselves included.
Most of all, in fact.
85
00:03:45,752 --> 00:03:48,155
Uh, all right.
86
00:03:48,189 --> 00:03:50,226
Also, we live
in a society now.
87
00:03:50,293 --> 00:03:51,997
Some people need
to be milking cows,
88
00:03:51,997 --> 00:03:55,137
not suddenly dropping the udder
to start a modeling career.
89
00:03:55,203 --> 00:03:57,207
Puts the city at risk.
90
00:03:57,274 --> 00:03:59,411
Hey, watch this.
Watch. OK. Wait.
91
00:03:59,478 --> 00:04:01,216
Wait, hold on.
OK. See if I--
92
00:04:01,282 --> 00:04:03,253
if I just do--
OK. Here we go. Here we go.
93
00:04:03,287 --> 00:04:04,789
OK, I got to keep them
up in the air.
94
00:04:04,823 --> 00:04:05,658
Right, see?
95
00:04:05,825 --> 00:04:07,361
Now we've lost the server
for the afternoon.
96
00:04:07,428 --> 00:04:08,697
And that's the least of it.
97
00:04:08,764 --> 00:04:11,302
Muses do this so they can
consume our resources
98
00:04:11,336 --> 00:04:14,042
while we're distracted.
They destroy cities.
99
00:04:14,075 --> 00:04:15,243
So what do we do?
100
00:04:15,310 --> 00:04:17,448
Well, if my calculations
are correct,
101
00:04:17,481 --> 00:04:21,122
it should be possible
to catch and contain a muse.
102
00:04:21,188 --> 00:04:23,093
Go, get out of here.
103
00:04:29,238 --> 00:04:31,711
This means something.
104
00:04:31,777 --> 00:04:32,745

These headbands
are pure copper,
121
00:05:07,213 --> 00:05:09,251
and muses
cannot resist this bait.
122

We should spend

127
00:05:30,594 --> 00:05:33,534
I want to travel the world,
on my own.
128
00:05:33,567 --> 00:05:36,874
Now!
129
00:05:42,251 --> 00:05:43,620
Keep paddling, Stupe.
130
00:05:44,656 --> 00:05:46,492
Wait a minute, I got an idea.
131
00:05:46,526 --> 00:05:47,729
What are you doing?
132
00:05:47,829 --> 00:05:50,601
What if we built
a big house for the muses,
133
00:05:50,668 --> 00:05:53,808
like a nest where they could
live and be comfortable?
134
00:05:53,841 --> 00:05:58,182
- Maybe bring food to them.
- Ty, she's been inspired.
135
00:06:06,634 --> 00:06:08,570
- Sorry.
- That's all right, Stupendous.
136
00:06:08,604 --> 00:06:09,739
It obviously wasn't your fault.
137
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,578
I do still think we should
build them that house though.
138
00:06:12,645 --> 00:06:14,782
Of course, you do.
139
00:06:17,555 --> 00:06:19,927
A metamorphosis?
Were you going to tell me?
140
00:06:19,993 --> 00:06:22,497
Well, it's only once
every 1,000 years.
141
00:06:22,532 --> 00:06:24,368
Well, it seems like
plenty of time to tell me.
142
00:06:24,435 --> 00:06:26,472
Who told you?
I'll tear them apart.
143
00:06:26,472 --> 00:06:27,909
Shlub, I get it.
144
00:06:27,976 --> 00:06:30,515
You think I won't be attracted
to you during your process,
145
00:06:30,582 --> 00:06:32,351
which is not unreasonable
for you to think
146
00:06:32,351 --> 00:06:33,654
given what I've been told.
147
00:06:33,754 --> 00:06:36,325
But as it happens,
the only part
148
00:06:36,359 --> 00:06:38,262
I find unattractive
is you worrying
149
00:06:38,329 --> 00:06:39,599
about being unattractive.
150
00:06:39,699 --> 00:06:42,104
That's not the Shlub
I love and desire.
151
00:06:42,137 --> 00:06:44,576
And who said I was worried
about being unattractive?
152
00:06:44,609 --> 00:06:47,348
To be perfectly frank,
the situation I wanted
153
00:06:47,414 --> 00:06:49,084
to avoid was precisely this.
154
00:06:49,117 --> 00:06:51,857
I'm far less attracted
to you when you're pitying me.
155
00:06:51,890 --> 00:06:53,794
I don't know if I've ever
heard you express
156
00:06:53,861 --> 00:06:56,566
such a thing,
less attracted to me?
157
00:06:56,633 --> 00:06:58,838
I'm sorry, my darling,
it's just not the Deliria

stalking another
yet even bigger jungle cat,

00:07:03,915 --> 00:07:07,923
- except sexually.
- Well, in that case, go.

Metamorphose in private
to your heart's content
162
00:07:11,563 --> 00:07:13,800

that your devastating wife
163

withhold inspiration

for it?

make a name for yourself
420

over humanity.
