Dude, I love this band.

Oh, look, there's David.

CHRIS:
Oh, my God,

he's actually gonna go for it.

DAVID:
A little more difficult

than it looks, huh?

Yeah.

"Before the world ends,

I have to dance all night."

Hmm.

Pretty dumb.

Hey, I wrote that.

No, you didn't.

No, I didn't.

Oh.

"Before the world ends,

I have to run naked

through the streets."

You're trying to get me

to think of you naked,

aren't you?

Oh.

Nice catch.

Check it out!

"Before the world ends,

I have to time travel."

"Before the world ends,

I have to win the lottery."

Two for two.

I think we've almost crossed

everything off this list, huh?

I think we're just

getting started.

"Before the world ends..."

"...I have to fall in love."

Is that what

you were gonna...

Yes.

Probably not

the worst thing

to wish for...

(DAVID PANTING)

(SHOWER RUNNING)

DAVID:
All right, David,

what did you change?

What have you changed?

Hi, Jessie.

Hey, Jessie.

What you up to?

What's... What's poppin'?

Just call her.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

JESSIE:
Hello.

What are you doing?

What are you filming?

Is everything okay?

Are you poking me?

Huh?

By the way, I told my dad

I was sleeping at Jennie's.

Are you taking

your towel off?

Should I not take

my towel off?

You should.

You absolutely should.

(LAUGHING)

What's wrong with you?

Oh, my God,

did we have sex?

Yes.

Was it good?

Was I good?

Yes.

Wow. So I saw

you naked and...

Are you kidding?

Well, I guess I did,

'cause we had sex.

That's true.

Can I see?

You wanna... Okay.

I want to see.

(SHUDDERING)

(KISSING)

DAVID:
Hmm.

Happy Friday.

I have to sneak out soon.

I only have

Thursday's clothes.

David, stop it.

DAVID:
Whatcha doing?

I'm waking up,

thank you very much.

(DAVID LAUGHING)

DAVID:
You look amazing.

David, please.

Stop it. David.

Let me see this.

(DAVID GROANING)

JESSIE:
Oh.

Good morning, David.

Stop.

Camera shy, huh, David?

You seem a little camera shy.

You know what,

let's get rid of this thing.

ANNOUNCER ON TV:
Flight 437

has apparently crashed...

Good morning, Raskin house.

Chris, you look gorgeous.

Christina, please put

that laundry away.

I don't wanna

tell you again.

Can you see the stain

on here? 'Cause I got two

job interviews

today and I really

need to look good.

Interviews?

Yeah.

Sweetie, you okay?

Yeah. Mom,

you look beautiful.

Oh, thanks. Bye.

(DOOR CLOSING)

CHRIS:
What's up with you?

What's up with you?

I can't believe

how good I'm getting

at sneaking past

your mom.

DAVID:
Yeah.

By the way, my dad,

who never loves anyone,

loves you. Somehow.

He thinks it's

really, really adorable

every time you talk

about science

and all the projects

that you used to do.

It's kind of amazing.

CHRIS:
Enough, please.

Aw, Chris.

CHRIS:
Please have

mercy on me.

JESSIE:
What's up, Patrick?

Dude, the other night

was dope!

Come on.

CHRIS:
God, what is up

with you, David?

Are we still on

for tonight?

Yeah. Yes, what time?

CHRIS:
Why are you

acting so weird?

Are you okay?

DAVID:
Yeah.

David, are you okay?

Yeah, um...

I forgot my... I forgot

my notebook in class.

Okay. I'll see

you later.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Bye.

Hey, Dr. Lou.

Where are you going?

LOU:
Don't be

a wiseass, David.

What?

(SOBBING)

Hey, you okay.

Sarah, what's up?

Everyone just mind

their own business.

CHRIS:
God, what the hell

is up with him?

"Better luck next year?"

But we won the division.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

CHRIS:
Hey.

QUINN:
(ON PHONE) You got

to get over here right now!

Quinn, hold on, slow down.

ADAM:
Oh, my God.

Are you seeing this?

QUINN:
I just don't understand

how this is even possible.

How do we not

remember this?

But we could fix this, right?

We could fix this.

I mean, we have

the means, right?

This is what we should be

doing in the first place,

not partying.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Hey. Guys, what's

the emergency?

David, look at this.

There was a plane crash,

David.

Seventy-seven people

onboard a flight from

London to Madrid.

It happened

five days ago.

DAVID:
Jesus.

So, why are you guys

watching a plane crash?

Because I think

it's our fault.

Why would a plane crash

be our fault?

Sarah Nathan's dad

was the pilot.

So what?

Look, whatever we did

at Lollapalooza

had some crazy

ripple effects.

Wait, wait. Are you saying

that Lollapalooza caused

a plane crash?

Because that sounds

crazy, dude.

Look, I'm not crazy, okay.

It's cause and effect.

Somehow we caused

the basketball team

to not make the playoffs.

Our captain, Justin Kelly,

broke his leg on March 1st,

right?

We all know

that never happened.

Then the basketball team

didn't make the playoffs,

and that affected

the players,

their parents,

hundreds of people who were

supposed to be at the game.

And it just kept spreading.

Sarah Nathan's brother,

he was on the team, right?

QUINN:
Yeah.

Her dad was supposed to be

at the game.

He wasn't supposed to be

flying that night.

David, look...

Dude, there's other sh*t, too.

Robberies. Fires.

None of this happened before.

At some point, we're not gonna

be able to track this, David.

If we don't stop this now,

it could just keep going

out of control.

CHRIS:

David, we have to fix this.

QUINN:
Look, Lollapalooza

was a mistake.

We have to go back

and make it so that

we never jumped there

in the first place.

Right.

DAVID:
No, no, no.

We cannot go back.

We cannot do that, okay?

ADAM:
That's the only way.

ADAM:
We have to.

It's gonna undo

everything...

ADAM:
That's the point!

QUINN:
We need to undo it!

We gotta fix this.

I'm not even buying it.

I don't even think...

QUINN:
Dude, you were the one

who set the rules!

You're the one who said that

we had to be all freaking

careful!

I did. We all followed them,

and kept each other

accountable on every

single one!

I'm not gonna go and play

God with you guys...

David, you know what?

That is what we're doing!

I'm gonna get Jessie,

we're gonna come over tonight

and we're gonna fix this!

If you wanna vote on that

'cause that will make you

feel better, then that's fine,

but that's what we're doing!

CHRIS:

David, we get it, okay?

None of us will

remember Lollapalooza.

Yeah.

(SIGHING)

MAN ON LAPTOP:

Hey, Justin, look out!

(MAN GRUNTING)

MAN:
I'm calling 911.

DAVID:
Screw this.

(DAVID PANTING)

DAVID:
Oh, sh*t.

JESSIE:
Guys, I'm here!

David, it's me!

(CAR HORN HONKING)

It's April 23rd, 2014.

This is to keep a record.

I know exactly what to do

to fix this.

Justin broke his leg

at Walker's party.

I'll fix that. Everything else

will fall into place.

Guys, I'm sorry.

It's gonna be okay.

(PANTING)

Oh, sh*t!

Sh*t. Oh.

ADAM:
David, what are

you doing here?

What do you mean?

This is where we're

supposed to meet.

You're 15 minutes late.

No, we said we'd meet

at your house first.

We had to track

the controller.

Oh, yeah, why didn't

you call me?

We all called you,

David.

Really?

The guys are
