Aeolus International.
Here we are in the sub-basement of our new research facility. This will be our first test with the subject since his arrival here. This is all very exciting.
Ahem!
Finally.
What the fuck is going on?
I trust you're comfortable.
I'm not comfortable. I've been lying on the floor for 2 weeks with no explanation. I want to know why I'm here.
We're thrilled to have you as a part of our team.
I'm not part of your team.
My associates and I have determined the content of your next broadcast.
I don't know what you're talking about. I want to go home.
Forever Young by Jay-Z.
I'm not—
We are looking forward to your cooperation.
Okay, I look forward to going home. There's no song called Forever Young by Jason Derulo.
We will provide you with all the necessary equipment.
That's great. That's fantastic, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna play.
If you please.
What's he gonna do? I'm I'm I want to go. All right. Come on, dude. I'm not gonna do it. I don't want to do it.
Let's dance and start. Let's dance for a while.
Heaven can wait.
We're only watching the stars, hoping for the best, but expecting. The worst. You're gonna drop the bomb or not?
Let us die young.
Let us live forever. Don't have the power, but we never say never. Sitting in a sandpit. Life is a short trip. Music's for the sad men.
Forever young. I want to be forever young. Do you? Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever, forever young? I want to be forever young. Do you really want to live forever, forever, forever?
Some are like water, some like the heat. Some are the melody, some are the beat.
Sooner or later, they'll all be gone.
Why don't they stay young?
So many adventures could have happened today.
So many songs that we forgot to play. So many dreams spinning out of the blue. Why don't they come true?
Forever young. I want to be forever young. Do you really want to live forever? Forever. Forever. Forever young. I wanna be forever young. Do you really want to live forever? Forever. Forever.
