body deteriorate.

(CLEARS THROAT)

She killed herself

some months later.

We are The East.

And we are your wakeup call.

And we are not hiding from you.

TOGETHER:
We are you.

We are the morning

you got off the treadmill

and ran under the open sky.

We're the first time you kissed

someone and they kissed you back.

IZZY:
We are the night

you couldn't sleep.

The night you stared at the

ceiling, thinking, "Is this it?

"Is this the best

life has to offer?"

No.

There is a freedom in you

that knows no fear.

Last night, we gave pharmaceutical

giant McCabe-Grey...

...a taste of their

best-selling poison, Denoxin.

We encourage the media to

follow the company's members.

We will counterattack two more

corporations for their injustice.

We will not show mercy.

(LOCK CLICKS)

(WATER SPLASHING)

So you spin the bottle. Whoever

it lands on is your partner.

You ask them permission

for what you want to do.

Like, um,

"Can I shake your hand?"

And they'll say, "Yeah", or...

..."No, I'd rather not."

Or they'll pose an

alternative, like...

..."Why don't we high

five?" Or something.

Here you go.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Can Thumbs and I

hug you for one minute?

All right.

(GRUNTING)

Come on.

Ah!

This is ridiculous.

(CHUCKLING)

Thank you.

I would like you and Thumbs

to hug me for one minute.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Can I kiss your belly button?

You may.

Thank you.

(LAUGHING)

LUCA:
Can I kiss you?

Ah!

(LAUGHTER)

Oh, that's good.

Can I kiss you?

Okay. (CLEARS THROAT) You may.

Can I kiss you?

Can we hug instead?

Sure.

(SNIFFING)

I can't believe these were

going to a landfill.

THUMBS:
Tess.

Where'd you harvest?

Hartford.

New apples come in,

old ones are dumped.

Give me a hand?

Where's Benji been?

He sometimes

takes days to himself.

DOC:
Guys?

You should see this.

MALE NEWSREADER:
Shocking news Friday

that the board of McCabe-Grey...

...had been drugged

by a terrorist group...

...calling themselves

The East.

McCabe-Grey

Vice President...

...Paige Williams

spoke to reporters today.

I had a bad rash

and a nasty stomach ache...

...but those are mild side

effects for a drug that has...

...and will continue to

save thousands of lives.

As you can see, I'm in perfect

health, so we at McCabe-Grey...

...are glad to be given a

taste of our own medicine.

It tastes great.

We should have

used the higher dose.

TESS:
They've paid hackers to break

the encryption on my last video.

They won't break it, but...

You don't know that.

I do.

Mine makes theirs

look like pig Latin.

We still have two more

jams before we leave.

I think we should let other collectives

draw some attention first,

and cool out for a bit.
