Really?
Can we say catfight?
Yeah, come on.
I entered the last three years
on my own.
It just felt weird not to,
but dude,
don't worry about it.
We're going to get
some kick ass equipment
and we may even want
to reconsider
reshooting some things.
This is awesome.
So, you're going to
use the money
to produce the film, right?
that is great news
because now you can give me
my $25 back
and we can write this off
as a business expense.
Yeah, okay.
Here we go.
When is Scotty going to die?
All right.
Lemmings.
All right.
We're holding.
Done?
Okay, okay.
I...
Get on with it.
It's not me.
Hold on.
Here we go.
Death date.
June 8th, 2015.
That's not right.
Come on.
What does it say, babe?
I knew this was a bad idea.
Babe, what does it say?
You probably...
You know,
I put the wrong number in
or something.
I mean...
Okay.
Yeah,
yeah,
that's got to be a mistake.
It's got to be.
You know what, Jay?
Maybe just turn
the camera off.
I don't think...
No, no.
It's just...
It's great.
It's... I'll be gone
and you two can magically
fall into each other's arms.
Congrats, man.
Dude.
You're going to have
a perfect little family.
Scott?
Jay, turn the camera off.
Scott?
Dil?
Yeah, Jay.
Yeah, please.
I apologize
that life tracker limited
is taking up so much
time and energy,
but with the possible threat
that ltl raises,
no precaution
is considered too great.
If you don't know by now,
the justice department
stopped fighting the release
of the ltl death date
information.
We simply needed to make sure
that the technology
and the information was safe
before we allowed it
out to the masses.
However, now that
have been released
we are faced with
another problem.
Now, fortunately,
this is a problem
that we have faced before.
I'm sure many of you remember
the turn of the century
and the y2k phenomenon.
Of course we all had
a little chuckle
when we woke up
on January 1, 2000
and we had found
that our computers
had not all rebelled
against us.
Well, here we are again.
In the 72 hours
since these death dates
have become available,
two major predictions
have been made by this ltl.
The bigger and the more
dramatic of the two,
that the end of the world
is coming.
A staggering 99.9% of all
people who have gotten
their death dates predicted
including mine,
it's all on the same date.
It's June 8, 2015.
Now, I'm fully aware
that I sound like
I am reading
from some sort of comic book,
but I know that this is
going to cause a media stir.
And I assure you we are
completely confident
that this is not a prediction,
but a company's sick ploy
to achieve worldwide
sensationalism.
My office will be taking
every measure conceivable
to prove ltl false
and to protect
every American citizen.
Believe it or not,
a major part of the solution
lies with the second
big prediction.
The second prediction
made by ltl
since Tuesday's release
that every single person
in or associated
with belfast, northern Ireland
that they've received
this death date
and it's been predicted
that they will all perish
on September 22, 2014.
I'm telling you all this
not only because
in the media anyway
but belfast is going
to be our proof
that ltl is nothing more
than a party game.
And then on September 23, 2014
when the good people
of belfast, northern Ireland
wake up safe in their beds,
my hope is that this fear
of looming worldwide doomsday
will fall by the wayside.
For now, you must know
that the president,
of course,
is being kept up to date
to everything
that's coming in
and all pertinent information
as it unfolds
we're going to
immediately pass it on
to the American public
and to the world at large.
Please remember the world
is the same as it always was
before anyone heard the name
of Richard 'rocko' hutchensen
and life tracker limited.
I can assure you that
the only thing we need
to do to get back on track
is to simply worry
about the present.
And we'll be working hard
to prove all of this to you.
I have time for
now, what if we had
a collection of data
that would allow us
to foretell an epidemic
before that epidemic happened?
I think public is fed up
with everything digital
from credit cards
to our iPhones.
We are literally tracked
night and day.
We only think
we live in a free society.
Well, why does it matter
if people know
where you are,
what you're doing, Abigail,
if you're not doing
anything illegal?
Are you listening
to yourself?
Ladies, we are out of time
on this subject.
Are there any last words
you'd like to leave?
20 seconds.
I'll be quick.
Yes, I would like
to say something.
I don't think giving up
a little bit of our personal
privacy is too much to ask.
When we're talking about
a technology
that could conceivably
help with world health,
world hunger,
and world peace.
And world domination.
Uh, here.
Take this.
I have to say something.
We're still shooting today,
right?
I can't work on
this project anymore.
Because of
the death date thing?
I just...I think I need
to work on my own stuff.
But this was your stuff,
our stuff.
Listen,
I appreciate you
bringing me in on this, man.
I just...
I don't have any reason
to believe any of it
and I definitely don't think
I can keep an indifferent eye
while hosting this sh*t.
This sh*t?
I thought you were...
Sorry, not the doc.
Just this.
All this, this sh*t.
And talk to people
about doomsday.
I mean you don't think
that's worth shooting?
Exactly.
Doomsday.
Doomsday?
Listen.
This doesn't change anything.
You're still my bro.
Honestly, this is...
I'm just afraid that if I keep
working on this,
we're going to lose that
and it's not something
I'm willing to...
You know.
Yeah, okay.
I don't agree, but I get it.
But you owe me today.
You owe me today
or I'm having sex with bell.
Go ahead
and stand right up here.
Cool.
We good?
Great.
So, you had your print read?
Yeah, everyone I know
already had one.
So, I figured why not?
Did you pay
for the death date upgrade?
I kind of figured
that was a waste of money if
everybody gets the same date.
Yeah, I'm just stocking up
on water bottles,
batteries, you know,
that kind of thing.
So, you were chosen then?
Chosen?
Like the matrix?
That's weird.
Anyway, I'm not.
My print says I'm goners
just like everybody else, so...
In hindsight,
I sort of wish
I hadn't got my own date.
So, we decided not to get his.
Sort of an ignorance is bliss
kind of thing,
so, how do you feel
about the idea
of using the belfast track
as a test
to prove doomsday wrong?
how so?
Well, it's sort of like
having someone test your meal
for poison
before you take a bite.
I mean, okay,
so what if belfast does tumble?
What then?
Mass hysteria?
Cats and dogs living together?
Have you heard about
