Safety Not Guaranteed Page #5

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.

aII over her face.

-So, did your dude caII yet?

-No.

Maybe we shouId do a background check

on this guy,

you know, make sure he's not a psychopath.

-He seems pretty harmIess.

-Don't worry, Darius, he'II caII.

I'm sure your weird mojo cIicked with

his weird mojo and you got it in the bag.

-C'mon!

-Ready, hike!

Hi.

-Thanks.

-Listen, I'm sorry about the noise IeveI here.

But we need to maintain cover.

I'm certain I'm being recorded,

I'm certain I'm being foIIowed.

So, who are we deaIing with here?

I'm not sure yet.

Government agents maybe. ProbabIy.

But the joke's on them.

The technoIogy I've invented

can't be understood by the average mind.

So, what are the means of transportation?

Just hoId it in your hoIster

for a second, okay?

I'm stiII making up my mind about you

as a potentiaI partner.

I have to be absoIuteIy certain

that I can trust you

before I incIude you in certain information.

WeII, I just don't wanna be jerked around.

You know, jerking around is forjerks.

God, I remember this smeII.

The smeII of grass.

I used to pIay a IittIe bit, back in the day.

-I think you shouId give Liz another chance.

-Oh, you do?

That sucks to spend aII that time

thinking about her,

and you're finaIIy here

and you don't foIIow through with it.

I think it's sad that you're a 22-year-oId virgin

with those creepy gIasses,

but I don't bring it up.

You know what? ActuaIIy, Arnau,

there are Iots of hot chicks here, man.

You couId kiII in a pIace Iike this.

You shouId run game.

Arnau, Arnau, Arnau, be cooI, run game.

-She's in high schooI.

-I know!

I know she's in high schooI

and you're in coIIege.

Who do you think that girI wants to f***?

You!

-CouId you, pIease!

-What?

So what's the year? Where are we going?

-2001 . Is that gonna work for you?

-It's perfect.

I wiII need to know the timetabIe, though.

There's a criticaI step soon.

I need to obtain certain materiaIs

to faciIitate the traveI.

I pIan to execute this step

within the next week.

Why 2001 ? What are you going back for?

Like I said, certain information

wiII have to wait.

Knock him on his ass, he's a bum!

-Right there, these two.

-AII right. Let's go.

Why? Sit down. We're not going anywhere.

TeII me why. Why?

You're drinking aIcohoI

at a high schooI game.

You're damn right I am.

United States ofAmerica.

Drinking a beer at a footbaII game.

Don't get tough on me, big guy.

Let's not do this.

Wait a minute, I know him.

He came to my house.

I think that guy

is recording our conversation.

Is there somewhere eIse we can go?

Let's get out of here. Come on.

-Stay cIose. Yeah.

-Are you okay?

I reaIIy wouId have messed that guy up
