emotional outburst.

Of course, no problem sir,

totally understandable, how admirable!

- Perhaps we should postpone our plans...

- No. This country needs me,

especially now.

Grief is a luxury that a leader

cannot afford in these times.

We all must attend to our configurations.

Attend to your configuration.

Let's roll.

Okay, sorry about the delay. Your mother and I

had something to talk about and...

Son?

That is you, isn't it?

My son Hex with a.. a... purple side?

- I just figured out how to do it!

- Remove that coloration at once!

- But Dad!

- Son, society makes laws for a reason.

- You're old enough to know

that's against the law.

- If I was a circle I could change the law!

- But you're not a circle!

- Why can't I be more of a polygon?

I could have been a heptagon

if you'd been a pentagon!

- Why couldn't I have skipped

a side when I was born?

- Few are as many-sided as you, son.

Fewer still are certified Prist Circles.

And I wouldn't be so

impressed by them either.

- They aren't true circles.

- They aren't?

No, of course not.

Circles simply have lots and lots of sides.

Some have 36, some have 72, 360.

Now, those are the ones

that are the closest to the...

divine circularity that we all aspire to,

but none of us will

ever be able to achieve it.

Why do we have the ability

to colorize if we can't use it?

Hex, what am I to do with you?

Be satisfied with your configuration!

It's crazy to want more.

- You are what you are!

- Just leave me alone!

Noon News with Peter Pentagon.

- Noon! I'm late!

- We never finished my lesson.

- I'm gonna be a feeler forever.

- It will have to wait!

I never miss an appointment!

In other news, additional troops

are being deployed to the Northern

Border in a show of force...

Oh get a load of that one!

President Circle's arriving!

Attend your Configuration!

We have the right to color!

We have the right to color!

Attend to your Chromatization.

Attend to your Chromatization.

Attend to your Chromatization.

Attend to your Chromatization.

Attend to your Chromatization.

Attend to your Configuration!

Attend to your Configuration.

Attend to your Configuration.

Attend to your Configuration.

Attend to your Configuration.

Attend to your Chromatization.

Attend to your Chromatization.

Attend to your Configuration!

Attend to your Configuration!

- Hey watch it buddy!

- I'm not a Chromatist can't you see that!

- Eh, whadda ya in for?

- I wanna see my lawyer.

...What's in charge here?...

Careful, she's a Chromatist and a female.

Accused Chromatist.

Yeah, that's what they all say.

But she ain't no accused female.

She's very sharp and can kill you in a second.
