Patrick and Jacob-
The whole world dissolves in my Erlenmeyer flask
A compound too unstable for any other man
All our bonds have broken
I watched you rise like steam from the flame.
I wish we could go back to the science again.
Remember we were scientists?
Remember we were the best of friends?
Now our cards are on the periodic table
Now our acids are bases again.

Patrick-
My dear friend, it's been ages since we last spoke.
And I see you have built an empire on the soiled remains of our once respected science.

Patrick and Jacob-
The whole world dissolves in my Erlenmeyer flask
A compound too unstable for any other man
All our bonds have broken
I watched you rise like steam from the flame.
I wish we could go back to the science again.
Remember we were scientists?
Remember we were the best of friends?
Now our cards are on the periodic table
Now our acids are bases again.

Patrick-
I see you standing on your tower so tall. But I remember how all your ideas were so small.

Jacob-
You don’t understand the gravity of this situation
My knowledge is so vast it would flood the world if a leak were sprung by a skull incision
How dare you call yourself a scientist
You’re nothing more than a sci-fi hobbyist
I’m so smart I could be a god
But then I wouldn’t exist
Being that self aware
Is what makes me a scientist

Patrick-
You don't understand the gravity of the entire planet. I think your mind has sprung a leak because you've become a time bomb. You have made yourself a god and now it's my turn to make sure you don't exist.

Jacob and Patrick-
Ya'know, I think you should just give my way of life a shot. It's really not that bad. I think you should open up your mind because it's not getting enough oxygen right now. I mean, I have my own castle. It's pretty cool.
Yeah, you have your own castle, and you're way way up on the top floor. I think you're the one that's not getting enough oxygen here with how thin the air is, and how thin your logic is, and how thin your way of thinking is.
Well, you know what's not thin?
What?
My castle, these fat stacks, and your mom. Boy, you aren't even familiar with carbon and its many oxides. You should blow my . . . More glass for my vials and flasks, or annotate my research notes because my writing is grotesque. You are just my errand boy. Like a
Cratogeomys Goldmani. Now get me a C8 H10 N4 O2, so I can create something great. By the way, I just called you a gopher. Now where's my damn coffee?
Congratulations! You memorized the Period Table. You could be a writer for Breaking Bad. Good job. Evolution was wasted on you. After 25,000,000 years you're the result. You can tie your shoelaces without bending over. Your IQ is three digits only because of a decimal point. Never give me a piece of your mind, I don't think you can't afford it.
Well, your mind is just like Pi! Irrational!
Your quanta is made up of an unusually high amount of strange particles!
You're really on the trailing edge of the bell curve!
You must be from the shallow end of the gene pool and I think it needed some more chlorine!
Well, you're being particularly unevolved today!
Stop functioning from your Lymbic system!
I'm- I'm not, though!
You're like the failed first attempt at Frankenstein's monster!
I'm Frankenstein's best monster! Look at my fucking castle!
Yeah, well, bro, you better watch your white coat!
Yeah, I bet you wish you could! Your eyes are blinded by my white coat!
Blinded? Blinded! Blinded by this huge ego of yours!
My ego could take your ego!

Patrick and Jacob-
The whole world dissolves in my Erlenmeyer flask
A compound too unstable for any other man
All our bonds have broken
I watched you rise like steam from the flame.
I wish we could go back to the science again.
Remember we were scientists?
Remember we were the best of friends?
Now our cards are on the periodic table
Now our acids are bases again.

Jacob-
This isn't over.
Like a dog I lick my wounds.
Or a dragon.
But I know dragons don't exist.
That's why I'm a scientist.
But this isn't over.
