-Hi, I'm Toby.
I'm just a regular student.
Or I was, before I got zapped.
Now I'm some kind of science genius.
The only problem is, Elizabeth is too.
[music playing]
[roaring]
[alarm beeping]
-Nikki!
No.
Ow.
[knocking]
-Someone slept in.
-Yeah, I forgot Nikki's birthday.
-What?
-I'm supposed to meet her.
Quick.
I've got to get to school
-I guess I'd better head in.
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Nikki!
-Hey, hey.
Happy birthday.
-You forgot.
-Me?
No, no, no, no.
We're just late.
But hey, don't worry.
I've got some great construct plans for after school.
They'll be so cool.
-Right.
I'll catch you later, OK?
-Wh--
[school bell ringing]
-Bad mistake, son.
Nikki's a great girl.
You don't want to lose her.
-[sighing]
-OK, everyone settle down.
-Toby, what are you doing after school?
-I, I'm taking Nikki out for her birthday.
-Pity.
I've been working on something you might like.
Why don't you forget about her and come over?
-Too late, Elizabeth.
He's already got a date.
-Fine.
Just remember I gave you this chance.
-The chance for what?
-Who cares?
She's just jealous.
-Let's get started.
Here are the results of last week's test.
Oliver, Matt, and Toby Johnson.
47%.
When are you ever going to realize your potential?
-You know, I think he will, really soon.
TEACHER (OFFSCREEN): Now, pay attention please.
[beep]
[beeping and whirring]
TEACHER (OFFSCREEN): Now your attention please.
That includes you, Peter, thank you.
Your tests (VOICE WARPING) will be counted towards your
end of year mark.
Those of you with low scores will need to concentrate your
efforts in the future.
[alarm beeping]
-What?
Yeah, hang on, guys.
I'm, I'm coming.
Listen, the weirdest thing is happening.
-Morning, sweetheart.
[gasping]
For me?
He remembered.
-Remembered what?
-Your anniversary, of course.
-We've been going out now for six months.
-What?
-And your dad's throwing us a surprise party, aren't you,
Mr. Johnson?
Oh, Toby.
I know we've been planning a special day.
But this is--
-Bizarre?
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): Beautiful.
How old do we have to be before we can get married?
-What?
-Nice going, son.
Elizabeth's a great girl.
You don't want to lose her.
-Whoa.
Whoa.
What's going on.
Am I going insane?
-Don't be silly.
Everything's just perfect.
Now you better hurry, or we'll be late for school.
-If you're quick, I'll drive you in my new car?
-Your car?
What new car?
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): You're looking
very smart this morning.
-Like I had a choice.
My real clothes are all gone.
-About time, too.
You look so much more professional like this.
MR. JOHNSON (OFFSCREEN): I've got to get to the office.
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): The office?
-Your father's in real estate now.
-What's going on?
It's like I'm living the same day over, but
everything's so weird.
-I don't know what you're talking about.
-Yeah, right, Elizabeth.
As if you've got nothing to do with this.
[school bell ringing]
-Don't be silly, Toby.
This isn't your locker anymore.
We swapped, remember?
You're next to Elizabeth now.
-Oh, great.
Nikki, what happened to your leg?
-As if you don't know.
-Leave her alone, Johnson.
Haven't you hurt her enough?
-Honestly, Toby.
It's not like you meant to break her leg.
-I don't why she's making such a fuss.
She can always join the swim squad next year.
[clang]
-Nikki, I'm sorry about your leg.
-Just leave.
I don't want to speak to you.
[music playing]
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Russ, Sash, hey.
Oh, I'm in trouble.
The weirdest thing is happening.
-Tell someone who cares.
-Whoa.
What?
Guys, what's wrong?
-Look, drop the friend act.
I'm Skinner.
You're Johnson.
Leave it at that.
-Guys.
What's going on?
-Are you all right?
-I think I twisted my wrist.
Thanks, Toby.
-We'll deal with your carelessness after class.
Take your seats.
-Guys, I don't know what happened between us.
But I--
-Get the message.
We don't want to know you.
-These are the results of your tests from last week.
Oliver, Matt, and Toby Johnson.
Congratulations.
You scored 100%.
[awed gasps]
-100?
Me?
-I'm so proud of you.
TEACHER (OFFSCREEN): You should be, Elizabeth.
I think that deserves a small round of applause.
[applause]
-I need to speak to you now.
What is going on?
-I don't know what you're talking--
-Don't give me that.
I know it's you.
You're messing with reality somehow.
I want to know why.
-You and I, Toby, we're meant to be together.
-What?
-And I'm proving it to you.
I'm showing you how wonderful our universe can be.
-That's insane.
How can you think this is wonderful?
-Because it is.
It's perfect.
-It's not perfect.
I hate it.
-Maybe you do now.
But this is the way the universe is meant to be.
And you're going to learn to love it.
-Please, Elizabeth.
This is nuts.
It's never going to work.
You can't make me care for you.
-Wrong answer.
[beep]
[beeping and whirring]
[alarm beeping]
[knocking]
-Morning, sweetheart.
[knocking]
-Toby?
[knocking]
-Well, well, Elizabeth and dad.
What a surprise.
-What got into you today?
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): Don't worry.
He's always a bit grumpy in the mornings.
Happy anniversary, sweetheart.
-Guess what?
I've decided to--
-Throw us a surprise party for our anniversary?
Yeah, I know.
-How can you?
I just had the idea this morning.
-Because we've already had this conversation.
-What?
-Don't you remember?
Dad, don't you remember anything at all?
-He's fine, Mr. Johnson.
He's half asleep, doesn't know what he's saying.
MR. JOHNSON (OFFSCREEN): Right.
Elizabeth's a great girl, son.
You don't want to lose her.
[music playing]
-Thanks, Mr. Johnson.
You're looking very smart this morning.
-Don't.
Now let me get my head around this.
You and I are repeating the day.
But dad isn't.
-And neither is anyone else.
It's just you and me.
-But everything, everyone is different.
What's up with that?
-We're in a parallel universe, Toby.
I've just selected the particular one where you and I
are together.
-And everyone else can't stand the sight of me?
-Yes.
Unfortunate.
Sorry.
-You need to make something huge to warp
reality like that.
-Maybe.
This universe is as real as any other.
You'll learn to live with it.
over and over again, until you get it right.
-We'll see about that.
[school bell ringing]
-Nikki, whatever I did, I'm sorry, OK?
And watch out for that cake.
Guys, guys, listen to me.
-Tell someone who cares.
-Russ, please.
-Drop the friend act.
I'm Skinner.
You're Johnson.
Leave it at that.
-Wait.
You can't go that way.
Stop.
-Look, get your hands off.
-Ow!
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): You all right?
-No.
I think I twisted it.
Thanks, Tony.
TEACHER (OFFSCREEN): Toby Johnson, 100%.
I think that deserves a small round of applause.
[applause]
-Stop it!
Stop it, all of you.
Don't you see she's got you all fooled?
You're in some kind of time loop.
You've got no idea she's making you go round, and
round, and round.
-Toby, if you'd like I can give you an extra credit.
I don't want extra credit, sir.
I don't want any of this.
-Hurry.
Follow him.
-Nice try, Johnson.
-Look, I know whatever is causing this
is up in that lab.
Now I'm warning you, Garth.
Get out of my way.
-There's nothing you can do, Toby.
You can't escape.
[beep]
[alarm beeping]
[music playing]
[beep]
[alarm beeping]
[beep]
[alarm beeping]
[screaming]
-No way!
No way.
This is nuts.
[knocking]
-Toby.
-Go away.
I'm staying home.
-Come on, Toby.
Don't be like that.
And, I think you'd better change, sweetheart.
-I am not your sweetheart.
Here's your anniversary present.
-Toby.
-It's all right, dad.
She can get another one.
I might not be able to get out of here.
But it doesn't mean I'm going to do what you want.
-I can give you a lift.
I'll walk.
[music playing]
-Turn left, bounce twice, then--
-Hey.
STUDENT (OFFSCREEN): Hey, how'd you do that?
Thanks
-Watch your step.
-Oh.
How did you know?
[school bell ringing]
-Got it.
Happy birthday, Nikki.
-Hey!
-Oh, don't worry.
You'll get another one tomorrow.
Delicious.
Russ, Sash, please.
I need help.
-Tell someone--
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Somene who cares, I know.
Look, Elizabeth has trapped me in some sort of time loop.
I need you help.
I, I can't stand it.
I'm going out of my mind.
-Drop the friend act.
I'm Skinner.
You're Johnson.
Leave it at that.
-Russ.
Any second now you're going to--
-Oh!
RUSS (OFFSCREEN): Are you all right?
-The same thing, every time.
That's it.
That's it!
[beep]
-Russ, Sash.
Listen to me.
-Tell someone-
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Someone who cares?
I know.
Look, Elizabeth has trapped me in some kind of time loop.
I need your help.
-Drop the--
TOBY (OFFSCREEN): Friend act?
See?
I've done this all before.
I know what's you're going to say.
Look, I don't care what Elizabeth's made you think.
You're still my best friends.
Something bad's about to happen.
I can prove it.
Three, two--
-You knew.
-(WHISPERING) Don't say anything else.
She's right behind us.
See for yourself.
I'll call you later.
-Toby Johnson, 100%.
I think that deserves a small round of applause.
[applause]
-Thank you, sir.
I, I appreciate it.
-What was all that about?
-What do you mean?
You want me to accept this world, don't you?
-Yes.
But--
-Well, you said it Elizabeth.
I can't get out of here.
It doesn't matter what I do.
We're going to keep doing this over and over.
So there's no use fighting it.
And I understand how you feel.
-Really?
-Yeah.
I've been around long enough to find out.
Look, I can't keep doing this.
You've won.
Yeah?
It's our anniversary this afternoon.
I'll see you then, OK?
Verity.
-Thanks.
-Here you go.
Are you having fun?
-Toby, I have never been happier.
What are they doing here?
-Dad talked them into it.
They're here to apologize.
-Really?
-Yeah.
Trust me.
They listened.
-Hey, everyone.
I'd like to say a few words.
Well, I never thought I'd be doing this.
But Russ and I would love to propose a toast to the
unlikely but apparently very happy couple, wouldn't we
Russ?
-Uh, yeah, yeah.
-To Elizabeth and Toby.
-Elizabeth and Toby.
-Speech, Toby, speech.
-Oh, OK.
Well, look.
They say actions speak louder than words.
So Elizabeth, I'd like to give you this.
-Oh, Toby.
[oohs]
-Toby?
Garth, get him!
-Ooh!
Ow!
ELIZABETH (OFFSCREEN): Let go of me.
Get Toby, you fool.
Mr. Johnson, I need your help.
Where is he?
-I don't know.
I lost him.
Don't worry.
He can't get through the security system.
-Then where is he?
Come on.
[beeping]
-He's not here.
Garth, get back downstairs, and make sure he
doesn't come up.
[beep]
-Toby!
-More security, Elizabeth.
You'll have to do better than this.
-Garth, get back up here.
No, Toby, don't.
It's so perfect.
If only you'd understand.
-No.
I totally understand.
It's over.
[ELECTRICAL CRACKLING AND SIZZLING]
-(WARPED VOICE) will be counted towards
your end of year mark.
Those of you with low scores will need to concentrate your
efforts in the future.
-Guys, did you see--
-See what?
-Uh, nothing.
47%, thank you, sir.
This is the best mark I've ever had.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
-That's quite all right, Johnson.
It's the first time anybody's ever thanked me for failing.
[giggling]
-Glad to be of service.
-Trust me I worked hard to get this mark.
And don't worry about your birthday, Nikki.
I'll never forget this day again, as long as I live.
