Finally.




THE SHADOW KING :
Does it bother you.
What we do? Morally?


OLIVER BIRD, 
MUTANT :
Hmm.

THE SHADOW KING :
Moral-ity.

OLIVER BIRD, 
MUTANT :
Mo-rality.
Oh right.

The electrons that make up this car were part of a star once.
A star that exploded billions of years ago, killing any and all life that may have existed on hundreds of planets.

Or did it? 

My Point
If those atoms still exist, 
if they are holding this car together as we speak, then --

Perhaps The Idea of Life and Death
is obscene.

THE SHADOW KING :
Hmm.

OLIVER BIRD, 
MUTANT :
Wait, maybe not obscene, but irrelevant.
What were we talking about again? 


THE SHADOW KING :
Morality of Killing 
Not.

Because you and I, 
We are Not Human.

The Lion.
Does A Lion ask the morality of killing a deer, or a mantis of killing a hummingbird? 
Homo supérieur 

OLIVER BIRD, 
MUTANT :
Melanie.

THE SHADOW KING :
So, you see The Morality 
is not The Problem.


OLIVER BIRD, 
MUTANT :
....I'm going to kill you, you know.

THE SHADOW KING :
Finally.
