00:00Hi, Mickey. Are you experiencing any vertigo?
00:05I guess I am feeling a little dizzy.
00:09Oh, wow! Did you see that?
00:14Now, I wouldn't be surprised if you were thinking at this point, what have I done?
00:21How lucky can one guy be?
00:24Something was working out and I wanted to get off of Earth.
00:27You're planning to be inexpendable?
00:29Yeah.
00:30You read through the whole application?
00:33Yeah, I should have read through it.
00:35Once you die, we'll print a new version of your body.
00:39They made me work my ass off on one mission after another.
00:43Every time you die, we learn something new and humanity moves forward.
00:47Oh, wait. He's alive.
00:49It's fine.
00:56Mickey, it's not looking very good for you.
01:00Yeah, I know.
01:01I'm sure you're used to it by now, but what's it feel like to die?
01:05Even on my 17th go around, I hate dying.
01:20Why aren't you dead?
01:22Multiples.
01:26In the case of multiples, we exterminate every individual.
01:33Let's blow up the second-hand baloney, boys.
01:39Why don't you guys do rock, paper, scissors and then we'll just shoot the loser?
02:01I don't like you.
02:02But I'm you.
02:03I'm not you.
02:04I'm gonna kill you.
02:05Tell me quick.
02:09This is so exciting.
02:12Mickey!
