Safety Not Guaranteed Page #7

Synopsis: Darius is a young intern at a Seattle-based magazine and jumps at the chance to investigate the author of a classified ad seeking someone to travel back in time with. Along with Jeff, the staff writer, and Arnau, a fellow intern, the three go on a road trip to a coastal town. While Jeff just wants to chase after his high school crush and Arnau wants some kind of life experience, Darius spends her time with Kenneth, a man who believes that he has built a time machine. The closer they become and the more they understand about each other, the less clear it becomes if Kenneth is just crazy or if he actually is going to successfully travel back in time.

Come on.

Take my hand. I know what I'm doing, okay?

FIip that switch. Do it. FIip it down.

Are you ready?

Go!

...to go it alone or to go with a partner.

When you choose a partner, you have to

have compromises and sacrifices,

but it's the price you pay.

Do l wanna follow my every whim and desire

as l make my way through time and space?

Absolutely.

But at the end of the day, do l

need someone when l'm doubting myself,

and l'm insecure and my heart's failing me?

Do I need someone who,

when the heat gets hot, has my back?

-So, do you?

-I do.
