Time Lapse Page #3

We can't cancel it. It's Dave

and Sharon's engagement party.

That's what I'm saying.

Obviously, we don't report it tonight.

There is a dead f***ing st...

rotting corpse in the storage unit.

You can't smell anything as long

as we keep the door closed.

It's been down there a week.

What's one more day?

Look.

We let the party happen,

we look at tomorrow's photo, and...

if it shows the cops taking our testimony

and sh*t, I'll call 'em myself.

I have to admit. I am kind of curious

to see one more photo.

All right. Fine. One day. But...

One day.

- What time is it?

- Twenty till.

Well, just in case tomorrow's photo

shows the end of the world...

I'm going to enjoy myself.

Do you want to dance?

And he adopts

his classic glazed-over look.

What?

You son of a b*tch.

Guys! Guys!

- I'm a f***ing genius.

- I know, but look at that painting.

Holy sh*t!

I know. I mean, the camera

sees my work before I do it.

It's just incredible. I don't have

to be blocked anymore!

I'm in.

Yes!

Yes.

You're up early. What time is it?

How about we start with what year is it?

Oh, so you can write

in a dead man's journal,

but I'm not allowed to wear his hat?

This isn't poetry, Jasper.

I'm making our to-do list.

If we're really going through with this,

we need to start making it look

like Mr. B's still around.

I mean, this is actually happening?

What are you talking about, bro?

It already happened. It's done.

Well, I mean, we could

just not go through with it.

Actually, I think we have to.

If I understand this correctly,

this is how it works.

The camera spits out a photo

of us in the future.

Then we go about our day

making a series of decisions

that lead up until that moment.

But...

if we deviate from those decisions,

then this photo never happened.

Which means "us," the people who saw

the original photo, can't go forward.

Because our futures don't exist anymore.

What do you mean "can't go forward"?

I mean, are we 100% sure

that's how he died?

No, but... do you really want

to test it and find out?

So it's agreed then.

We got to do what's in the photo.

Okay, all right, fine.

We have to do this tonight.

But we're talking about

not reporting a dead body.

I'm pretty sure if anybody found out,

Jasper, that's jail time.

Okay, but nobody's going to find out.

I was over there this morning

to make a list.

All we have to do is bring in

his newspapers, water the plants.

We should probably move his car

so it doesn't get any more tickets.

I found a couple pieces of mail.

Maybe a couple bills,

so I should probably post them.

Well, you seem to have everything

figured out.

Dude. Just relax, man.

The risk is so minimal,
