(mysterious, dramatic music) - [Man] Someone asked me a while back and I'll never forget it, if the world's falling, how come the trees still grow? (quiet, mysterious music) I awake in the night, the demons get in my ear, saying, "Give up, your family's gone, "you're never gonna get to 'em." (quiet, mysterious music) And I think, "Well them trees are still growing." And I don't listen to no lies, nor pay attention to no dreams. I will find you.

Come on, boy. - No! - Call me daddy like you're supposed to. - Get off of me! - [Man] A boy should know his father! - Stay away from him! (people hollering) (foot thumps) (man grun

(plate clinks) Now all I need is my room back. - I told you we're gonna install that elevator. - [Corel] I thought you said I was getting Zenma's old room. - [Man] It would take a lot of work to convert that old place, Corel. - [Man] Why don't you just install a lift for that chair? - The sheer size of that

thing would make it impossible. I mean, we can barely-- (voice fades) (plate clattering) Shit. See, she can barely move her arms. It restricts almost all movement, but we're constantly making adjustments. After Ernest, we've made a lot of improvements. - [Woman] Armand. - What?

Now you are, (machinery humming) Mr. and Mrs. Dinka. - [Mrs. Dinka] That's us. - Welcome to the Arbitrary O clinic. I will be your personal advisor, advising you through this incredible journey we're embarking on. - We're very excited. (laughs) - As

you should be. Here at the Arbitrary O clinic, we take great pride in designing babies that perfectly meet your needs. It's so nice when people are open to new methods of procreation, not that there's anything wrong with the usual boy, girl way. After all, before I came out of the closet, I was known to dabble in my fair share of penis. (laughs) (Mr. Dinka laughs) So, shall we begin? - Let's. - Question number one, boy or girl? Both-- - Girl. Oh, sorry. (pair laughs) - Someone's an eager little

bunny. - My wife and I have really been hoping for a girl. - Of course, who wouldn't want a bouncing baby girl, but we really want to give this child the best possible start in life, don't we? - I don't understand. - Oh, don't be alarmed, as your advisor, I'm just making sure we explore every available option. - Why wouldn't a girl be the right choice? - Let's be honest, it's a man's world out there. Something like two women, every week, die of of domestic violence, not to mention all of that se

xual harassment from puberty onwards. (laughs) Hell, sometimes it starts before puberty. (laughs) In fact, now I think about it, if you take the both of us and the two women at reception, on average, at least one of us has been raped. (laughing) - Well uh, maybe-- - No. Honey, you wanted a girl. I wanted a girl. We'd prefer a girl. - Of course, brilliant choice. Question number two, heterosexual or homosexual? - What? - Oh, I'm sorry, straight or gay? - No, that's not, I know what that means. I

meant, you can do that? - But of course, being gay is perfectly natural. Hundreds of creatures are known in the animal kingdom to be gay and if it's natural, we can change it. - I don't think we're too concerned about her sexuality. We'd love her whatever. - That's right. - Of course, of course, gay rights and all of that. We could make her bisexual and let her choose, but I have to ask you, are you sure? (quiet, slow music) I only ask because, well, do you keep your marriage a secret from your

colleagues at work? - No. - Why would you need to do that? - Well, a quarter of gay people keep their relationship secret from their colleagues. - Because? - Well let's be honest, it's quite the hassle being openly gay, isn't it? (chuckles) All those faggots thrown at them at school, never seeing themselves as the heroes and, well ever since the EU collapsed, only 20 countries in the world still bother to recognize gay marriage. (laughs) Look, I say this as a person that's advised hundreds of pa

rents, but perhaps it's best to side with caution on this one. After all, the right choice is the one that will keep your child safest. (gentle, slow music) - Fine, make her straight. - You won't regret it. (computer whirs) And now for our final question, what skin color would you like? These are the colors that we can offer and before you ask, we can't make your baby bright blue, that's illegal. (laughs) (computer beeping quietly) - [Mrs. Dinka] That one, please. - Of course. Now again, as your

advisor, I just want to make sure we're making the right choice for your baby. With this choice of skin color, your baby can expect to be four to five times more likely to be stopped by the police than the average person. (chuckles) Of course, not when she's a baby. I mean, that would be weird, I mean when she grows up. If your baby has a degree, she will be two and a half times more likely to be unemployed and can also expect to earn 23% less than white people with the same degree. She's three

times more likely to be murdered, seven times more likely to be detained under the mental health legislation and three times more likely to be permanently excluded from school. So (laughs) not great news, I'm afraid. - What on Earth can we do to fix that? - Well uh, you can maybe have a baby that starts with a W. - We should have a witty baby? - Starts with a W and has an E in there. - A wise baby? - Uh, a (sounds out W) A (sounds out W) - A Welsh baby? - No, (muttering) holy mother of, uh, a b

aby that's (sounding out "white") (sounding out "white") (sounding out "white") - A white baby! - Great idea! - You want us to Michael Jackson our baby? - (gasps) No, of course not, but uh, everybody wants to give their child the best possible start in life, don't they? Just think about what whites can give to, better chance of staying out of prison, higher wages, more acting jobs, less profiling, almost every aspect of her life will be better. - (laughs sarcastically) Are you completely insane?

You want me to give birth to a white baby? - Hey well, that's a little racist. - A little? There's no way we're having a baby that will make everyone think she's been sleeping with the milkman. - Oh well, actually, our milkman's black. - Whatever. - Okay okay, I'm just trying to help you make the right choice. How about you meet me halfway? - An Asian baby? - No no no, I mean, many of my clients have chosen a shade that's slightly lighter than they are themselves. For example, if you go a coupl

e of shades lighter, that would reduce the average number of police stops by approximately half. - But she wouldn't look like us. - On the contrary, there's a difference between facial structure and skin tone. She would look like a mixture of you both. I can guarantee it. The only difference is, is that she might have a slightly lighter shade. - We've done pretty well so far. - Oh, there's no argument there. - So she could do okay? - [Advisor] But can you guarantee it? - You can't guarantee it e

ither. - Of course, of course, but when you can't guarantee, doesn't everyone make a choice that's as close as possible? Why choose a horse that's 1,000 to one when you can choose one that's two to one? What's important to bear in mind here is this, if you make the right choice, your daughter can have a much better life. There are always problems. Life is full of them, but making the right choice today will mean that life will be just that little bit easier. She can grow up into a young woman an

d, be happy. And in the end, isn't that what we all want? - It's, it's just so strange. - I know it feels like that now, but of the 600 or so clients I've seen so far, over 350 of them have chosen a shade lighter than themselves and nobody around them has been any the wiser. - That many? - I know all of my clients and I know none of them have regretted their choice. I can show you some testimonials if you like. - Has anyone asked to be darker? - Well I'm not uh, it's possible that some of my col

leagues have been asked. - But not you? - But let's not worry about that. After all, we're not Superman, we can't turn the world backwards and make it better. So, what's your choice? - Okay. Yeah. We'll make her a shade lighter. - And that brings our first session to an end. Oh, this is so exciting, I love making babies and I hope you've enjoyed it too.

This may be my last transmission due to an unforeseen (mutters) quadrant 016. We don't know who or what it is, but it has come to respond. (gentle, dramatic music) - Leah, are we going the right way

? - Is there a right way? - I don't think this was a good idea. - Of course it was a good idea, but this tech in this goddamn spaceship was five years, we needed it, A. - You know I hate A, (laughs) it's Aurora. - It made initial contact as of five minutes ago, thus resulting in the malfunctioning of our ship, but I do not believe it meant any harm to us. (gentle, dramatic music) - Question, did you have to bring that with you? Do you ever stop and think before you act? It's like I'm following t

he world's most curious toddler. You do remember what happened to our ship when the last one was released. - That's why we're cracking this baby open somewhere on this great planet. - Yeah, 'cause the last one didn't almost kill us. - This is it. (gentle, dramatic music) - (voice distorting) Should you find our spaceship, you'll find that there are many secrets within these walls. But please know that our intentions were only to protect, (ship rumbling) to improve mankind. I was able to put two

of our children, Leah and Aurora into (voice drowned by clattering debris) but their chambers, they will expire, so I'm hoping that this reaches you in time. - [Leah] Come on. (gentle, dramatic music) - I know that you feel that we abandoned you back at Earth, but science has a price and it was a price that we were willing to pay. - We really should be wearing protective unit suits before we even consider opening it. - [Leah] Not at all, I think I know what this is. - You think you know? (gentle

, dramatic music) (labored breathing) Aren't they beautiful? - Yeah. (gentle, mystical music) - Aurora, please be brave and don't be afraid to go out and explore the black oceans of space. 'Cause they are marvelous and beautiful and they need you to be that beacon of light, to illuminate all that it is for all of the discoveries that I know you will find. I love you with-- (screams) (transmission fizzles) - (sighs) Let's do this. I think it's gonna take two of us to crack it open. (energetic, dr

(energetic, dramatic music) (laughs) Oh no no no no, you started this. We're not stopping now, come on. (dramatic, orchestral music) (Leah sighs) (women grunting) (labored breathing) (dramatic, orchestral music) Together, together. - Together.
