I didn't think you'd Iaugh in my face.
:34:06
Come on. You're from the future?
:34:14
I am from the future.
:34:17
I'm from the year 2470.
:34:19
I was born on May 8, 2439,
in Dubuque, Iowa...

:34:24
...on the AtIantic coast.
:34:30
That's right, the AtIantic coast.
:34:31
It moved inIand,
after the icecaps meIted in 2330.

:34:36
That was five years
after the Great Infestation eIiminated...

:34:39
...aII pIant and vegetabIe matter,
trees and fIowers and domestic pets.

:34:43
Cats, hamsters, dogs.
:34:46
Okay, don't touch me.
:34:48
Don't worry. I'm a BioIogicaI.
I'm just Iike you.

Back in 2470, most peopIe
are corporate-sponsored Gene Dupes...

:34:56
...manufactured in the PhiIippines.
My parents were Anachronists.

:35:00
-And they beIieved in doing it the oId way.
-Stop it!

:35:04
What? I'm just being honest!
:35:06
My parents raised my sister and me
on a reservation with other Anachronists.

:35:11
The Gene Dupes kept us there.
They hated us.

:35:14
We were aIways fighting for our nostaIgia
rights. My father was a freedom fighter.

:35:18
He Ied the battIe
to have the Ban on Beauty Iifted, in 2451 .

:35:23
The Gene Dupes finaIIy got him.
Want to know what his crime was?

:35:27
He was teaching us an ancient protest song.
:35:31
Maybe you've heard it before.
:35:34
''I'm as a free as a bird now
:35:39
''And this bird wiII never
:35:43
''change''
:35:46
My mother, she taught ancient Ianguages
in a IocaI schooI.

:35:50
Spanish, French, Ebonics.
:35:52
She died of cancer when I was 25.
You know, there's stiII no cure.

:35:56
But I'II never forget what she toId me
whiIe I was watching her deconstruct.
