This whole building is full of people

waiting to die!

Well we're not gonna do that!

Not anymore!

We're using science to fix

that critical human glitch

called death!

I hate that guy!

Well, she's not really asking

for anything unreasonable.

She's asking us to die!

And she's a brat.

I won't do that for anyone

much less a mop bucket god.

[Male] Do you think it

can get out of the closet?

I don't know but that's why I locked it.

What's next?

Maleic and hydride.

Maleic and hydride.

Why do you think Mr. Sacks

was banging on the door?

The door of the mop closet?

[Male] Yeah.

We're all looking for our equals.

They're both horrible fluid creatures.

Did you find what you were looking for?

Not sure.

What is it you need to make

a god leave your mop bucket?

Well.

I guess I've never tried.

(beeping)

Go check.

Isn't this more important?

[Female] Our job is to provide life.

You need lithium lorate.

304, Treefish.

We haven't kept them all alive.

To the best of our abilities.

Go, see what Ms. Treefish needs.

You need lithium lorate next.

What is that you need, Ms. Treefish?

(slime oozing)

You know I'm only here to

feed you and keep you well.

Just like the other doctors were.

I think she has a crush on me.

You are not allowed

to have sexual relations

with any one of our patients!

I don't want to!

That's a rule that can not be bent

or broken for anyone!

(sloshing)

Let's do this!

Hello again.

Have you come to apologize?

I've come to introduce you to science.

Say hello to science.

Hello science!

Cute.

I do not understand.

Let me teach you.

(groaning)

Why do you do this?

I do this to send you back to hell!

I'm not from hell, I'm from the ocean.

Then I do this to send

you forward to hell.

She did explain that she's...

I don't care.

Go get me another vial.

[Male] What are we doing?

I don't know!

This is my first time murdering a god.

Please, stop your quest for immortality

and I will not have to continue...

You grant immortality, right?

You granted it to lobsters.

Grant it to me alone and

I will cease my quest

to give it to all of mankind.

[Female] I will not

and you will not succeed.

You're gonna know!

Are you okay?

[Female] I'm incredible.

Can I help you up?

I'm staying here for a while.

Okay, should I do something with this?

[Female] Read it!

(groaning)

(downbeat music)

Wait here.

(glass shattering)

Come on, dude, it's spooky in here.

[Haircut] Are you sure

this is what we're doing?

Yes, I'm sure this is what we're doing.

Where do we start?

Obvs, snacks.

That god lightning really

takes a lot out of you.

You gonna be okay?

Yeah, as soon as I win.

Did you take your pills?
