A Man Meets His Future Self
FUTURE DANIEL: Daniel!
DANIEL: What the hell?
FUTURE DANIEL: I’m you from five years in the future. Listen, I don’t have time to explain, but you need to ask Kelly out before it’s too late!
DANIEL: What do you mean?
FUTURE DANIEL: Huh?
DANIEL: Why don’t you have time to explain? You obviously have a handle on time travel.
FUTURE DANIEL: There just isn’t time! Just ask her out already or she’ll marry that jerk Christopher!
DANIEL: Slow down. How am I supposed to ask her out?
FUTURE DANIEL: I don’t know, just do it! There’s no time to explain!
DANIEL: Okay, see, I think you just haven’t figured out a way to ask her out, and you’re being real cryptic and rushed because you hope I’ll just magically find a way.
FUTURE DANIEL: Well, I mean, what about just asking her to dinner?
DANIEL: Oh yeah? You’re me, remember? You’re hoping that past you is better with girls than you are. Guess what? Still not good.
FUTURE DANIEL: Well, shoot. I was hoping you’d have something.
DANIEL: We have the same brain, man. Sorry.
FUTURE DANIEL: What if you brought her, like, flowers?
DANIEL: Remember when we brought Amy flowers and she got all creeped out?
FUTURE DANIEL: Oh yeah. Damn.
DANIEL: So how’s the future?
FUTURE DANIEL: Well, I’m still alone, so you can take a guess.
DANIEL: Yeah. Maybe you could ask her out for me now?
FUTURE DANIEL: God, I wouldn’t even know what to say.
DANIEL: I know, right?
FUTURE DANIEL: Sigh.
DANIEL: So how’s the future otherwise?
FUTURE DANIEL: Pretty cool. I mean, this guy invented time travel, so.
DANIEL: Oh, it wasn’t you?
FUTURE DANIEL: Hah. Are you kidding? With our brain?
DANIEL: Hah. Yeah, I guess not.
FUTURE DANIEL: Oh, stay away from the Brooklyn Bridge on December 19th.
DANIEL: Why? Is there a disaster or something?
FUTURE DANIEL: Nah. There’s a lot of traffic. It was super annoying.
DANIEL: You know, I thought I’d have a lot of questions to ask you, but I can’t really think of any right now.
FUTURE DANIEL: Yeah, it’s pretty much same old, same old. I’m still writing.
DANIEL: Good for you.
FUTURE DANIEL: I guess.
