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.
