Hydrogen for President | Page 47

[Oxygen looks at Hydrogen, surprised.]
Oxygen: You got all the lanthanides to vote for you? But I thought you said no one took you seriously!
Hydrogen: Well…

[Flashback. It’s a close-up of Thulium, a lanthanide.]
Thulium: Wait.
(shakily) You got our names right?!

[Hydrogen stands in front of Thulium and her three lanthanide companions. She looks down at a paper, on which the periodic table is printed.]
Hydrogen: Mhm. You’re Thulium, you’re Terbium, you’re Ytterbium, and you’re Erbium.
[The four lanthanides get on their knees. Thulium and Erbium clasp their hands in praise, while Terbium and Ytterbium bow down to the floor.]
Thulium, Terbium, Ytterbium, Erbium: LONG LIVE HER COSMIC MAJESTY, QUEEN HYDROGEN THE FIRST

[The flashback ends.]
Hydrogen: …Some elements get even less respect.
