(PEOPLE SHOUTING ON LAPTOP)

DAVID:
I think, um,

we have to go with

another inanimate object

and then move our way to...

No.

DAVID:
You know, plants and...

Come on.

DAVID:
Come on, what?

You're watching this video

and you're gonna send

another inanimate

object through?

DAVID:
It'll be very

potentially dangerous.

But you know that

you can do this.

What are you waiting for?

ADAM:
If we

increase the power

to the glass circuit,

the diameter of the warp

could expand to 9 feet,

which may fit all five of us.

DAVID:
Graphics processor

dialed in.

QUINN:
Am I gonna

get electrocuted?

DAVID:
Setting the machine

to 24 hours back.

That's how far we'll push it.

CHRIS:
David,

I'm getting scared.

ADAM:
Running system

diagnostic test.

All systems check.

DAVID:
Guys, turning

machine to standby mode.

We're ready to go.

(SIGHING)

Dad, I'm not sure what

you were doing down here

or why you were doing it,

but this is for you.

(PANTING)

(SIGHING)

DAVID:
Full disclosure, guys.

There's a slight chance that

oxygen and nitrogen

naturally found in the air

could catalyze.

QUINN:
What does that mean?

DAVID:
We could explode.

Here. Set the GoPro

up over there,

so we can get a, you know,

wide shot of the environment.

QUINN:
Okay.

We need to move away from

the car, away from the trees,

and everything, right.

Get some clearance.

Remember, the warp has

a 10-foot diameter, so...

Yeah.

CHRIS:
Where should we go?

I think, um, yeah, right here?

(ADAM EXHALING)

DAVID:
Are you recording?

CHRIS:
No, the red light

means something else entirely.

(CHUCKLING)

DAVID:
Okay.

To reiterate,

because of the catalyzation

of the oxygen in our lungs,

do not hold your breath.

You got that?

CHRIS:
Yeah.

Because of the

high level of impact,

keep your body

loose, right?

Yeah.

And because of UV light,

keep your eyes closed.

ADAM:
(SOFTLY) Yeah.

Okay, is anyone else, like,

shitting their pants

right now?

Or is it...

(LAUGHING)

Guys, I'm not gonna lie.

I'm completely terrified.

But I'm the one

who's on the tape.

So if you guys

don't want to come,

I understand. Okay?

CHRIS:
I'm in.

If you're going, I am.

I'm in, too.

ADAM:
I'm with the group.

I've done every boring thing

with you since first grade.

Of course I'm coming.

All right.

Let's step in.

Wait, like right now?

It's all right.

It's okay.

We're going to be okay.

We're gonna be okay.

Chris, come on,

you need to get closer.

Okay.

(ALL BREATHING HEAVILY)

All right, you guys

ready for this?

Yeah.

Yeah.

(LOUD WHIRRING)

DAVID:
Get in closer!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(CAR ALARM BLARING)

(ALL SHOUTING)

Guys! Guys! Look!

DAVID:
Holy sh*t! Get down!

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(DOGS BARKING IN DISTANCE)

(GROANING)

(GRUNTING)

God, it's burning.

(HIGH-PITCH RINGING)

CHRIS:
David, your ears.

JESSIE:
Guys? Guys,

I can't hear anything.

Guys? I can't hear!

(INAUDIBLE)

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

You can? Okay.

(QUINN GASPS)

CHRIS:
(PANTING)

Holy sh*t!

DAVID:
You okay?

Where's Adam?

Yeah, where's Adam?

DAVID:
Where's Adam?

CHRIS:
Adam!

(RATTLING)

What the hell?

What the hell?

My God, please

tell me you got that.

Are you all right?

Please tell me

you got all that.

(ADAM COUGHING)

QUINN:
You all right, buddy?

ADAM:
I'm okay.

We're okay.

Did it work?

(ADAM COUGHING)

CHRIS:
Where's the car?

Well, if it worked,

it's not gonna be here

until we drive it

here tomorrow.

Look at this. Look.

Holy sh*t.

ADAM:
David, we need

to see if this really worked.

Wait, I got an idea. Yeah,

I got a sick idea. Come on.

Shh.

My neighbor's dog

is a beast.

(DOG BARKING)

Why are we going

in your house?

QUINN:
Just trust me.

Seriously, this is

what we're doing?

My mom's asleep,

just don't wake her.

I want to see if this works.

Have you guys ever

seen the movie Looper?

DAVID AND JESSIE: No.

ADAM:
God, I love that movie.

(SHUSHING)

(WHISPERING)

What are we doing?

(QUINN SHUSHING)

What are we doing here?

It's sick, right?

Watch this, watch this.

No, no, no...

CHRIS:
Shh. Stop!

(MUFFLED LAUGHTER)

CHRIS:
You guys! Shh.

JESSIE:
Oh, my God.

JESSIE:
Get that. Get that.

CHRIS:
Oh, my God,

this is cool.

(ALL LAUGHING)

ADAM:
This is sick.

Oh, my God, he's waking up!

Guys, guys, guys...

What? What?

What?

QUINN:
What?

What? What?

What? What?

BOTH:
What? What?

ADAM:
Oh, my God,

what's happening?

We've got to get him

out of here!

Quinn, stop looking!

CHRIS:
Go!

ADAM:
It was

a crazy feedback loop.

Look at me, are you okay?

QUINN:
I'm all right. Okay.

DAVID:
Quinn, you

disappeared for a second.

I think we should

get out of here.

Yeah, we should

get out of here. Let's go!

We did it! We really did it!

It's yesterday!

ADAM:
It's yesterday!

It's yesterday!

(ALL WHOOPING)

Whoo!

(DOG BARKING)

DAVID AND CHRIS:
Oh, sh*t!

ADAM:
Run!

CHRIS:
I'm trying!

QUINN:
Run, run!

(GROWLING)

CHRIS:
Sh*t, it's coming!

JESSIE:
David, take us back!

David, hit the button!

David, get us back!

(ALL SHOUTING)

DAVID:
Come on! Get close!

Get close to me now!

(LOUD WHIRRING)

(GRUNTING)

(COUGHING)

(DAVID GROANING)

ADAM:
(WHISPERING)

Oh, my God, we're alive.

DAVID:
Adam. Oh, sh*t.

(ALL CHEERING)

Are you all right?

Are you kidding?

Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!

Guys?

(DOG WHINING)

I don't think

we're alone.

(DOG PANTING)

DAVID:
Hey.

Hey, puppy.

Hey.

QUINN:
He's drooling

all over me.

DAVID:
I know, he's drooling

on me, too, man.

Move him over there.

He's on my side...

ADAM:
Guys,

why am I in the trunk?

DAVID:
Quinn, stop pushing

him on my side.

Sit, sit, sit.

Guys... Guys, check it out.

These flyers definitely

weren't here before we jumped.

CHRIS:
Huh.

JESSIE:
There's so

many of them.

QUINN:
That's weird.

JESSIE:
Do you think

we changed things?

CHRIS:
What does it say?

DAVID:
It says, uh,

"Lost Dog."

Guys, we changed reality.

QUINN:
Holy sh*t.

Oh.

(DOG WHINING)

CHRIS:
David, come on.

Oh.

Well, I told you

we wouldn't die.

DAVID:
Yeah.

I, uh...

No, I got my wallet.

Never mind. I thought

it was...

Thought it was on

my side of the car?

No, I was just checking

my backpack.

Thank you for the ride.

You're welcome, David.

I'll see you, uh...

See you at school.

Dude, how have you

never seen Timecop?

Quit saying that

like it's a bad thing.

Look, you're missing

the point.

You can't go back

and give yourself

information about

the future.

QUINN:
Dude, wrong.

That's the entire purpose

of time traveling.

Here, just look

at Terminators

one through four.

My dad...

He's a genius.

He's an absolute genius.

Dude, you could

actually, like,

go back and meet him now.

We can do anything.

JESSIE:
We can meet anyone.

Literally.

You guys, we invented

freaking time travel!

Why don't we sell this thing

to Richard Branson for, like,

a zillion dollars?

We didn't invent anything,

first of all.

We just put it together

with the directions that

we had over there, so...
