some other thing.

But you don't want to be here

when I finish my

punch-in-the-gut

countdown.

20, 19, 18--

This is the only time

I enjoy using numbers.

- 17, 16--

- Gary.

Still stickin' with

the countdown gimmick.

Like it.

Always on brand.

Can I have a second

with my friend?

15, 14...

Dude, what are you doing?

You're acting like me.

And you are not

pulling it off.

If I could speed this countdown up,

I would.

You're lucky

I don't make the rules.

- 10...

- I can't explain.

Just-- just get

out of here.

What? No.

I'm not even supposed to be

talking to you. Just go.

What do you mean,

not supposed to?

...two, one!

You can't hit me.

That's why

I'm doing this,

to prove that

not only can I change,

but other people are--

[grunting]

[gasping]

Principal Rhodes:

McGinty!

That's enough,

McGinty.

Three days suspension.

- What?!

- Furg!

Get your stuff,

get outta here!

Me?

Come on.

This way.

That was only

the beginning.

You made an enemy

for life.

For life!

Will, my office, now.

I've been trying to

solve this puzzle for two weeks.

Turns out,

sculpture.

Will, Will, Will.

You skipped school

yesterday.

Then you get into

a fight.

What's that about, bro?

Too much?

I can't talk about it.

[sighs]

It's complicated.

Will,

you need to refocus.

The science fair's

coming up--

I'm sorry, I can't do

the science fair, either.

It's the new girl,

isn't it?

She's from the future.

- How did you--

- I knew the rebels sent someone.

You know, that's why

I jumped back, too, to protect you.

Protect--

Listen very closely.

Everything she's told you

is a lie.

Boy:
[laughing]

Get back here, Brad.

I'm sorry, I don't know

if you heard me.

I said she was lying.

No, I heard you.

Look what she's

making you do.

Give up on your goals,

get beat up.

Did she say

stop talking to Hailey?

Yes.

So she's making you

alienate your friends, too.

You know,

that's just-- Gahh!

Will, you are good.

But this girl is

trying to turn you

so you grow up to help

those evil rebels.

So, this whole time

you've been posing as the principal?

To keep an eye on you,

pal.

That's what

best friends do.

Oh, yeah. Future,

we do everything together.

[chuckles]

There's this one time--

Look, I don't want to

ruin it.

I'm just gonna say...

gorph.

[chuckles] Trust me.

The whole world loves it.

It's hilarious.

Wait, but Athena told me that

the whole world hates me.

I become a monster.

No, that-- that's what

she wants you to think,

so the rebels can use you.

Will, you grow up to be

a great man.

You're finally able to

help your mom.

Look inside yourself.

Are you a monster?

No.

Wait. Why should I

believe you?

Because...

you created me.

I know. [chuckles]

Pretty awesome, right?

You're born and then

you die and in between you wonder why

You know it's over

before you know it

But most people

never know it

Time is not a line,

it's more a circular design

You know it's

never really over

More like over

and over and

I versus the future

I versus the future

You're here and

then you're there

And then you're there

and then you're where you started off

You're on a racetrack and

at zero time you kick back

The past is always pushing,

it's a river always rushing

And it don't know

where it's going

Just keeps going

and going and

I versus the future

I versus the future

I versus the future

I versus the future
