ODD/EVEN

Have you ever thought about

how the world would be a better place to live

if we only had half the population at a time?

Let me introduce you to the Odd/Even system.

Our final solution to overpopulation

and lack of resources.

These are "Odd" citizens.

They have an "Odd" year mark on their body

and stay active in the odd-numbered years.

They check into "The Capsule" to hibernate in even-numbered years,

while "Even" citizens wake up from "The Capsule"

and resume their normal life.

Attention. All "Odd" citizens. - Good Odd day!

- Please check in at "The Capsule" within 1 hour. - Good Odd day!

Glad to be at your service this year.

See you in 2045.

It's okay, Boba.

We're making the right decision!

I know, I know.

I'm scared, too.

Can you believe how well that went?

I'm so proud of you, Renée.

People love you!

No, Isaac, you were amazing.

I was so nervous when the

Ouch!

What's wrong?

My zipper...

Babe, I thought you were coming out.

Hey, babe. Sorry.

I was chatting with Isaac.

I love these flowers.

We'll still be together.

They'll have food there.

And a girlfriend.

Harry Petit and Boba the hamster

No more heartbreak.

Renée Kang.

Good Odd day, Renée!

My name is Ofelio.

Please have a seat.

Okay.

Change the waking period

from odd-numbered years to even-numbered.

Your date of birth and occupation, please.

February 14th, 2018.

Actress.

Woo! An artist!

I'm sending an E-pamphlet to your device.

It's a guideline on rebuilding your career

in even-numbered years.

No need to elaborate on your motivation.

However, it is my duty to inform you

that this decision will be irreversible.

Yes, I'm aware of that.

My God.

I love your necklace.

Babe. - Top of the morning!

Where did you get these macaroons? They're so good.

This is your host, Kaiden Lee. - I didn't.

Maybe the Even resident accidentally...

...left it in the fridge? - To celebrate the 10-

year anniversary of the Odd/Even system

Today we invited-- - Yuck!

Dr. Debebe.

We should find better co-occupants.

Who perfected the cryopreservation technique

To make human hibernation possible!

Welcome, Doctor!

Nom nom, food waste! - Thank you for having me.

Please! Thank you for saving us.

Everyone owes you a big thank-you

for getting us out of hell

and gifting us the life we have right now

Shit, gotta go now.

Well, I proposed the solution for overpopulation,

but the engineering team who designed the system.

Hold on.

I got you little something.

Definitely! And many people want to know the reason

Aww, you got me a hamster?

Baby girl., you know you can't take care of no pet.

I got you something better.

I can't believe it's been 20 years now

Aww, I love it.

Look so good on you.

Promise you'll never take it off?

Never.

It's my lucky charm now.

Cool, cool, cool. No criminal record,

no outstanding debt, no minor children.

What else?

Is there any pet coming with you?

No, I can't take care of a pet.

Alright!

And...

No partners or family members is coming with you.

Woo, bold move!

I mean,

I'm sure a talented

young artist like you will do well there.

You might experience fatigue

Or moodiness in the beginning of 2044

But you'll be in full of energy again in no time.

Ofelio,

May I ask you a question?

Sure.

Did you leave even-numbered years by yourself?

I chose to come here

because my partner is actually an Odd citizen.

We fell in love through being pen pals.

How romantic, right?

But my family's better off in Even years.
