No... no!

[Gulliver has come before the immortal Struldbruggs] Immortal Gatekeeper:
Welcome to the immortal world. [leads Gulliver to a font in the middle of their chamber] Immortal Gatekeeper:
This is the source of the life everlasting. Drink from this water and You will never fear death. Never. [offers Gulliver a dish of the water] Lemuel Gulliver:
But I have to get home. There's a ship in the harbor. I only have minutes before it sails. Immortal Gatekeeper:
Minutes? What are Minutes? You have no need for such petty considerations here. Lemuel Gulliver:
[narrating]
I was offered immortality... man's dream. With the fear of death removed, I could learn the truths of existence. I could get riches in wisdom. I could read every book ever written. Study the movements of the planets and the stars. I could watch the rise and falls of republics and kings and from the great depths of my knowledge, offer advice to all. I could do anything. Immortal Gatekeeper:
Drink. Taste immortality. Lemuel Gulliver:
Why is your hand shaking so badly? [he sees a Struldbrugg in the corner coughing up blood] Lemuel Gulliver:
What's wrong with her? Immortal Gatekeeper:
Nothing. Lemuel Gulliver:
What's wrong with everyone? Immortal Gatekeeper:
Drink the water. You will defy nature. [Gulliver notices that she is not looking directly at him] Immortal Gatekeeper:
You will outlive the stars themselves. You'll be like a god. Lemuel Gulliver:
You can't see me, can you? Immortal Gatekeeper:
I'm alive! The water keeps us alive. Lemuel Gulliver:
You're blind. [looks around the room] Lemuel Gulliver:
You're all blind! Immortal Gatekeeper:
No, some of us can still make out shape and movement. We'll never die, that's what matters. We'll Never die. Struldbruggs:
[chanting]
Never die. Never die. Immortal Gatekeeper:
That's all that matters... cheating death! Lemuel Gulliver:
No... no! [runs from the chamber]
