From the darkness - something musical this way comes.
We must spread our wings and stretch our imaginations.
Let the games begin.
And when two lovers woo…
2076 - They still say, “I love you”
No matter what the future brings.
2116 - What is it, forty years?
Forty

You’re not the gorgeous maid that John took as his wife.
Oh, Bess, who will tend your needs, when I’m nourishing the weeds?
Happy anniversary, ancient Wycherlys , to you.
Marionettes, marionettes, I sell marionettes. Tell me your wishes, your desires, tell me your wildest dreams.
I’ll build you a marionette banked with fires to warm your coldest dreams.
No toys, no puppets, no tiny snippets, no dolls, I’ve cut their strings.
Each one a prize… All life size.

Lock on and find there code, search every vessel in the sky.
Stalked and hunted like we’re prey, let’s find a ship and stow away.
Sir, they’re ship no longer appears on our scope. We’ve lost them.
I’ve been looking for you. I’m Captain Wilder.
Don’t move!
You do know those are just a bunch of flowers you’re all holding?

Jenny and Wilder listen as the fugitives describe their crimes.
It seems that I was losing all control, for my house was taking over as a whole.
The books were torn right out of my hands and they were burned. Children taken away, never returned.
I’m Professor Faber. I come rattling no saber. I’m simply outdoors for a walk.
Strangled FM, tangled the city. I’ll be damned, but I jammed GPS. Mores the pity, traffic slammed.
We’re contented with our infamy and fame.
We’re gonna cleanse this world, so we’re sworn. We’re gonna make you wish you weren’t born.

Sir… we have an undercover operative in their midst.
My lightening rod would have provided free electricity to everyone.
He said my tattoo depicted his murder and I showed a willful disregard for human life.
Do you swear to tell the truth to this kangaroo court?
I wasn’t selling deception. It was a hall of mirrors.
To legislate mortality is, in itself, immoral.
Mine is the company where old men come… at sometime or other in their lives.

They bring me a wig, and ask me to rig, and build a whole new wife.
Cherchez la femme and IBM.
I’d like a tidbit for my wife… to last her all her life. And it must be ME.
Make the girl young an fair, with a summery air.
Full of grizzle, grit and steel. And every popular song from 1900 until today.
A working knowledge of French cuisine. All the Shakespeare ever seen.
So will he build their robots. So full of pomp and flatteries, there’ll scarce be room for batteries.
Dance
Dance
The company celebrates Captain Wilder’s first performance with the troupe.
We dance as not to be dead. We sing for our daily bread.
Death is an empty, empty bed.
So we sing and we dance…. we laugh and we play.
We dance as not to be dead.
‘Morning you cadets, I’m your new profess-a. Good to see you all in your pressed full dress-a’.
My simple words of wisdom here leave nothing to misconstrue.

Anything is game ‘til you get confession. Nothing is too harsh, use your own discretion.
