Making Time

Hi, I'm Nick.

For years I've spent every waking minute

trying to achieve my dream of time travel

and no matter how much the world doubted me

or how many relationships I've had to sacrifice,

it would all be worth it when I proved everyone wrong.

Oh come on, come on.

Restarting system components.

Welcome Nick.

Load all time data to cache memory.

'Cause let's face it.

Nothing meaningful.

Please don't crash.

Ever came easy.

Loading data.

Loading.

It's official.

Tonight's the night.

Three hours, six minutes remaining.

One giant leap for mankind.

Confirm energy required to launch 175 pounds.

Transferring 175 pounds

requires 5512 watts discontinuously.

Perfect.

220 volts on a 50 amp breaker makes 11,000 watts.

Oh.

Oh God.

Aw.

Okay.

Confirm continuous voltage required

to maintain a connection to the present.

100% connection

requires 4000 continuous watts.

- So with 11,000 watts, what can my minimum connection be?

17.1875% before connection loss.

Boom.

Oh.

Ah.

Oh crap.

Shoot.

Oh my God.

17%.

Nick.

One second.

Nick?

Okay.

I said one second.

Something's burning.

I grabbed this.

Oh.

Thanks.

Love what you're doing with the place.

Shouldn't you be like, like working or?

Nick, it's Sunday.

Is it?

Oops.

Big surprise.

You gonna eat this?

Yes.

I am.

This is last month's mortgage.

You'll lose the house and our renovations.

Then why don't you take them with you?

And this is from this month.

No.

This is from this month.

Nick.

Stop.

Come on and you shouldn't even have a key.

She made hundreds.

Good.

I've been meaning to change the locks.

Sure you are.

Jess, come on.

It's laminate.

It's fine.

It's official.

You've been served.

20 days to file a response to the court.

Try not to forget this time.

Official.

But.

I'm.

It's ready.

The time machine.

It's loading the memory right now.

I've triple checked everything.

I'm literally hours away.

Or years.

I want you to try something.

Okay, think of your happiest memory or any memory at all.

Go ahead, okay.

I bet in all of your confidence,

what you actually remember is nothing more

than a scattered mess of thoughts

and a total of like 30 seconds of images.

Or even less.

So much is lost as time moves on.

I mean, I couldn't even tell you

what I had for dinner two weeks ago.

I could take a guess.

And photos.

They can't give you sounds or smells or anything tangible.

Rachel, I bet you can't even remember

the first time you met Ben.

I remember that very well.

- So imagine being able to go back to relive it.

You could dazzle him with ''Star Wars'' facts.

Oh geez.

Oh, speaking of my Han Solo.

Hey babe.

Jess.

The day you quit your job.

Oh, to give Dr. Mudge a piece of your mind again.

Or even.

Just having a simple conversation with your dad.

Just stop, Nick.

I'm sorry.

I guess the--

Wake up.

When are you gonna stop putting this

in front of everyone else?

Did you even look through this like I asked?

That box isn't gonna change the world.

This is so stupid.

What do you want from me?

I don't know.

From Rachel.

- I just wanted this to mean something to you.

For once.

Hardly ticking.

Junk.

It's in the past, remember?

Let it go.

Fine.

You're right.

Don't start.

You know what?

I'll do it.

Sis, come on.

I'm sorry but--

He was still wearing his wedding ring.

Jess.

I know you saw that.

Probably forgot it was there

like he forgot you were there.

Come on.

He'd make a great father.

I still feel--

You still feel like what?

He's the same guy he used to be?

I really wish things could've worked out,

but don't act like he cares all of a sudden.

You're just stuck in the past, you know.

You better have brownie mix.

Double chocolate chunk.

Yeah, sis.

Shelly?

Hello.

Nick, why didn't you answer?

Was it life or death?

It's Cory.

What's wrong?

He's been,

I'm not okay.

Talk to me.

What'd he do?

He's cheating.

What?

He always has been.

I screwed up.

What happened?

I told him I looked at his phone.

He.

Oh no, Shelly.

Is he around?

No.

No, he's out trucking now.

- Okay, you need to go to mom and dad's and stay there.

Okay.

I can be there tomorrow, okay?

Shelly.

Junk, junk, junk.

Finally something good.

She just had to have quartz.

You really wore that tie today.

Charlene made me this.

This better be worth it.

You can have back the damn key.
