The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe vote almost does not happen. Then President Barbie calls it: all those in favor of letting Barbie Land be Barbie Land, say aye. Mojo Dojo Casa Houses snap back into Dreamhouses; the Kens still ask who they are attacking. Ken collapses. Barbie sits with him while he sobs about tiny mini-fridges and a patriarchy that was not about horses. She apologizes for taking him for granted. He says there is no just Ken — without her gaze he is another blond guy who cannot do flips.

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageBut it’s "Barbie and Ken." There is no just "Ken." That’s why I was created. I only exist within the warmth of your gaze. Without it, I’m just another blond guy who can’t do flips.
但那是「芭比和肯」。 没有单独的「肯」。 所以我才被造出来。 我只存在于 你目光的温度里。 没有它, 我就只是又一个不会后空翻的金发男。
