I can't seem to get rid of it.

I... and you...

We?

We...

should... eat?

Yes, yes! We should have breakfast.

Let's have breakfast, together.

Okay.

Oh, I am the coolest.

Samantha?

Samantha! Watch out, the coffee pot!

I see it, Crazy Yelling Man.

I know, I just thought

you might hurt yourself.

Sam?

Oh, I'm sorry. Am I too loud?

No. I was actually hoping

that you'd sing.

Oh, you need to get out more.

You are a great songwriter.

And you need to let people see that.

It's an amazing gift.

You're biased.

That's true.

Oh, God, I am such a klutz.

You burned yourself on the hand.

Keen powers of observation.

Ian, what is wrong with you?

I burn myself with that damn thing

every other day.

You do?

Yes, I do.

What are you doing?

We always go that way.

And do you know why?

Why?

Because that's where

you work and I teach.

Let's try a new way. Loop around.

It might be fun!

I like this route better, don't you?

Care to explain?

I just thought the scooter

seemed a little... speedy.

Watch where you're going!

You've got to be kidding me.

It wasn't a dream.

What?

All these things that are happening today,

every single one,

I already knew they would happen.

What do you mean?

The leather jacket. The burn.

The Coca Cola spilled on your sweater.

I already saw or dreamt those things.

Some happened a little differently, but...

Okay Ian, calm down. You know,

sometimes I've had deja vu, and it...

But it's not deja vu.

In deja vu...

it feels like it's already happened.

You don't know what's going to happen.

Alright. What happened in the dream

that freaked you out so badly?

It was...

It was awful.

Okay. Let's be logical about this.

In your dream or vision, or whatever,

what happens next?

You go back to the apartment to wash

your sweater and I go to my meeting.

That is awful?

On the way to my meeting

my watch cracks.

Okay. So here's what we're gonna do.

We'll walk to your office together.

And if your watch cracks...

then we'll know something is going on,

and we'll deal with it.

Okay?

Almost there.

We're holding hands.

I like holding hands.

Me too.

Do you have the time?

Sorry. Watch. Sore subject.

It's fine.

You're just nervous.

You're right, I'm sure you're right.

So, are you okay?

Ready for the meeting?

Yes.

Good luck. Not that you need it.

You're gonna be great.

I'll see you tonight at the concert.

Concert? What concert?

I was kidding.

That was me kidding.

You know, the British sense of...

Never mind.

Bye.

Yeah, see you tonight.

Do me a favor. Call Tantra and

push my reservation to nine.

And have someone dash over to Harvey Nicks.

I need a present for...

For Samantha's graduation concert?

You forgot, didn't you? I reminded you twice.

Yes. No. I don't know. I don't know

if I did or didn't forget.

I forgot yesterday,

but I don't think I forgot today.

Did you wear that yesterday?

Quite possibly.

On the pittance you pay me

I've only got a couple of things.

Claire, can I ask you a question?

If you must.

Did you ever have a dream and

the next day everything feels familiar?

You know, like it's from the dream?

Yes. I have.

For example last night

I dreamt that you would bore me to death

first thing this morning, and lo and behold...

Come on. Seriously.

Seriously?

Yes.

Ian, I believe dreams are very important.

They should be listened to.

You really think so?

Yes.

And I also believe that you should

get over to that meeting...

or you'll be sacked,

and I'll be on the dole.

And those are AGS's main objectives.

To design new ways to treat, cure,

or prevent the countless illnesses

that inflict humankind.

I'm happy and more than

a little proud to report...

that AGS is way ahead

of the competition in this area.

Now...

in terms of your investments...

these 7-year projections will clearly

document everything we've discussed so far.

We've amortized the cost of the

research over a 10-year period.

I knew it! I knew you'd be here!

Okay.

You've heard my pitch, and I can tell by the

unbridled excitement on your faces...

Come on, guys. Settle down.

This is not a party.

This research isn't about

perfect projections or amortized costs

or about beating the competition.

It's about giving people the most

precious gift possible... time.

This is a great opportunity,

and I say grab it.

What do you think?

- Did you land the money?

- I did.

And it was the strangest thing

because the other time

when Samantha walked into the meeting,

I thought she messed everything up.

Oh, I didn't tell you guys

about the dream I had.

Of course not, because

that would be tonight.

Okay, then. Tell us about the dream.

It's more of a deja vu.

Ah, deja vu. Sometimes dismissed

as a random neurological event...

but is often a message

from deep within the soul.

And when the soul comes tapping

at the door, it's time to let him in.

Oprah.

No.

Dr. Phil.

You're up guys.

No, no, no. That's not what I'm talking about.

There are certain things that

I know are going to happen.

Excuse me?

But haven't we met before...

in my dreams?

Oh, just piss off, will you?

You see? I knew that would happen.

Ian, we all knew that was gonna happen.

Can you remember anything useful?

Like the 3:
30 winner at Newmarket?

No, I'm afraid not.

But everything's the same.

It's just in a slightly different order.

Slightly different order.

I... I've got to go.

Mackenzie street, please.

Yes, sir.

You've got to be kidding me.

Excuse me, sir?

You're the driver from yesterday.

Anything's possible.

Yesterday you knew certain things about me.

About your love life?

Yes.

Yeah, well, people in my profession are

second only to barmen...

in knowing about problems of the heart.

And that... you said that exactly.

So if you're the same

if this cab ride is the same...

then everything else today

will be the same.

At the end of the day, my girlfriend

gets into this taxi...

It stops at a light

it's hit, and she...

Is that gonna happen?

Is it?

What if she doesn't get in the cab?

What if I take her out of London?

Maybe if we stay in the apartment...

Tell me, what can I do?

There must be something I can do!

Just one thing.

Appreciate her. And what you have.

Just love her.

Will you let me out?

Let me out right now!

Certainly, sir.

No, that's alright, sir.

Why not?

You paid me yesterday.

Better hurry up.

You haven't got much time.

Samantha Andrews, where is she?

I have no idea. Are you alright?

Oliver?

There's three next door, as well.

Oliver?

Samantha!

Samantha!

I'm sorry.

Sam! Sam?

Lottie!

Oh, come on...

Can I help you?

Hi. I know you don't know me.

I'm a friend of Lottie's.

This will sound really strange

but I need to get into her apartment.

Never seen you around before.

Actually Im her best friend's boyfriend.

Do you know Samantha Andrews?

Of course. I love miss Andrews.

Everyone does.

If I was just a few years younger...

Zinc!

Hey, can we eat at some point?
