In the extended cut they get married. 12 years later she wins the time machine in a divorce. She goes back in time and stops the whole thing from ever happening. Since he created it, he just makes another time machine and goes back as well. Then they fight through time like War of the Roses or Mr. and Mrs Smith. Please make this film 🤘
And that one worked, which is why he kept it in the "script" --- the other lines were still a work in progress. He was eventually going to say the right thing. It was only a matter of time.
The writing in this film does a great job of breaking the viewers' expectations, whether they be good or bad. The characters are also very dynamic, which keeps the audience engaged and invested in the story.
I have watched about 50 of these short stories. This one speaks to so many of our most personal dreams and fantasies. It's reminiscent of the innermost thoughts we would not dare share with anyone because there has been someone in each of our lives that we felt that way about. It is both poignant and humorous and sad. To be able to capture all that in just 12 minutes is a magnificent feat.
Using the word "both" implies 2 of something and you listed 3(poignant, humorous and sad). Not a big deal but still, you used the word both when it doesn't apply.
I was about 7 minutes into this short when I realized something... the male lead can ACT. Seriously, when I first saw him dressed 'as Bond' and saw how he looked so stiff and out of place and his dialogue was stilted I thought, "Oh well, I'll watch this because I like time travel not because I'm expecting good acting." Suddenly, I noticed I had forgotten about the first couple of minutes and was 'buying into' HIS story... the story of a person seeking to correct a perceived mistake so he could win his heart's desire. KUDOS!!!!
0:44 I thought the same. "That......would have ruined the evening." I thought, "I........am not a good actor." But then I realized later he is a good actor. He is acting like a person trying to be cool. :)
My thought was that he was leaving her to go back and try again.....I assume that means she will soon be vanishing as the current time-line will be wiped out. Not really sure, but her finding the lines on the board was cute. My personal interpretation is that he had gone out on that date with her hundreds of times. It is not a story of failure though, as he clearly enjoys the chase even if he never catches her.
So the portable time machine box was empty, what does that mean? He still went somewhere in the big time machine, right? So what did she figure out? Where or when was he going at the end? I'm not so smart, apparently. Someone please help me understand this.
Looks like he just went back in time by only 2 hours to try the date over again. She got mad at him for lying about the portable time machine and how he said he only tried doing that date twice before, but the whiteboard she uncovered at the end showed how he had actually went back more than twice, as there were a lot of other "kiss lines" crossed out on the board.
Si muy groovy, "Yes men prefer blondes, But women prefer money and any man with or without hair." Ok one thing, the ice cubes in the drink were like MORE COWBELL. I liked this short film, well laid out theme, acting and goofy. Well done Marty McFly. .
He went back in time because he thought he messed something up with the line (since she just kept saying "You're a nice guy") and that board showed how he went back multiple times instead of just the 2 he said he tried
@R X Conrad: Yes, you notice how these time-travel stories always require that the first person you reveal the time-traveling to . . . is not a nerdy Trekkie (?).
Sad part is, after a gazillion tries, he finally managed to get her in bed. She got pregnant, sued him for support, and got everything he's got, including his time machine, so he could not go back and fix his biggest mistake. "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!!" - Some wise dude
One of the best time travel stories because the time machine or time travel was integral to the story as compared to fish-out-of-water scenarios, closed loops storyline, and does address fate vs. free will through the succession of "nice guys" montage.
I think close captioning should be on all movies, it's great for catching little asides and understanding certain soften spoken words that are hard to catch. Also, as you say, good for watching films from other countries where the accents and expressions are different.
Well played...focus was perfect and just wierd enuff, continuity in time travel is often hormonal, ....sweet characters, loved the cafe crew. Always wise to have a spare booth....waiting for the next 'blip phzzt' ...'jump'....sort of like deja vu with wattage/ jules verneic huberous, of youth ....seriously...humorous.
this was shot beautifully and all the actors were great! the end got me! so that means he was manipulating her the whole time? and he had been for at least as many lines were crossed out on the board?
To misquote from a semi-famous TV show about high school: "You're a smart chicken. But even if the smartest chicken comes up against the dumbest Lion, it's 'instant chicken mcnuggets. You're just 'Apples and Oranges"
or, you know, dont chase a woman who is so shallow that one line puts her off entirely and go for a woman who actually appreciates you and doesnt think shes too good for you.
Every one of those times he failed she went flying into my bed instead. Giggity giggity! He should go back further and make some real $$$. That's all she cared about anyway.
@theandykat: That leads to an interesting question. Let's say that you do that for a first date: hire actors and actresses to support a time travel story that you tell the Woman over dinner. What's the likely response (?) Chances are 99.9% . . . not good.
He told her he only went back twice before, but the board she uncovered revealed he had gone back many more times than that since there was a bunch of "kiss lines" crossed out.
The thing is... Lol, he retried that night over and over again to win her over. However, it took revealing his time machine to even get her attention. See what did there.
Spoiler alert*** The line, "You don't need a time machine to make time stand still," nearly ruined the film for me. I was relieved when she called it out, and delighted that it was just one more of his contrived lines. The film was great. A bit of feedback for anyone who cares. When they were at the bar and moved to the table, the cut was a nice cross-cut, but I was wondering if they had jumped time or something. If that was the intention, well done. But I don't think it fit. Unnecessarily confusing. A simpler cut, or a long duration shot following them to the table would have been better. And if that's all the criticism I have, just goes to show that it was an awesomely made film.
Well, if you could go back and repeat things and you knew what was going to happen - and you could do it multiple times - then you would seem pretty cool.
That's the worst thing u can say to a Man... You're a nice guy. That's saying I wouldn't be your girlfriend if u were the last man in the solar system.
Great plot and storyline. Suggestion, you might want to take a class in dialogue and speech progression. The lines are very choppy and really distract from the story. Less "telling" and more "showing". Nice cinematography.
"You're a nice guy, _____"; that line cuts to my core. 1st. Why in the world would you not want a "nice guy"? 2nd. Its the very fact that girls like her are uninterested in the "nice guy" that "nice guys" become douchebags. Conclusion: Girls who aren't interested in "nice guys" are the wrong girls. Desire: Because "nice guys" were nice from the beginning, I wish every girl who thought like this at one point in their life were just unable to land a nice guy in the end because they don't deserve them. You shouldn't get to go through the worst and get a nice guy when you're done with the bad.
This is exact to most women's attitude when things are too good and/or they think you are making things up except for one thing: he was manipulating, which means in reality she would have believed anything he said as almost everybody does when people lie and manipulate.
I didn't get it. But it was pretty fun. I think her acting was a bit over the top. She seemed like she loved him from the first scene and that he was way out of her league. But then later she just changed and called him a friend because of one single quirky line from him. Not sure that was meant to happen as it's completely unrealistic. If a single weird line can ruin a relationship then no humans would procreate at all. She could have been warming up for the first 2 minutes and slowly getting into him. Then after this cold shoulder she would regress back to the cold state. As it is now it just seems like he was close to getting with her, but then ruined it by running away. Also, I'm not sure what the time travel is here. A great way to show good time travel is to switch up a few clothes pieces. Like having the waitress actually spill wine on her so that we know which version is which. Right now I just cannot really understand the plot because I don't know which version does what. I don't even know how many time jumps there are here. Again, time jumps need to be clearly shown too. And the time traveler could write down the number of times he time jumped somewhere so that the viewer can follow that there too. Also, he is leaving the time machine behind for her to find? Seems like she is bound to sell it to someone.
The timeline splits into one where he goes back and one where she remains. If you think about it being able to erase the world using a time machine is both overpowered as hell and doesn't make sense as to why a small box can overpower the entire universe.
@@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana A small sized black hole star can overpower the Sun. A small rock (diamond) can overpower a woman and the pocket of the gift giver. And the universe started as quite small, supposedly. So, what did you write here again?
@@UniDocs_Mahapushpa_Cyavana Actually, it's possible that a mass, the size of the Sun, can become a Black Hole star (though relatively rare), both of which are equally massive though wildly different size wise with respect to an outside observer. Either way, I was jokingly referring to your comment above in which you expressed consternation at how a "small box can overpower the entire universe."
I liked it! Nice guy was actually a manipulative jerk. Girl was a bit superficial. It showed the more negative sides of humans. The male lead was obviously older than 25.
A jerk because he was trying to have the perfect date with a girl he liked? I don't get that. I think that is something a lot of guys might have tried. He's the bad guy for trying? Not in my book.
It’s kind of sad to think that almost everything a man builds is to impress a woman (or women). If I were smart enough to create something that powerful, I would also create a ship that would allow me to visit someplace other than Earth.
@@davidking4838 Well, obviously I would have to take a female companion with me, not to impress her but to combat loneliness. She wouldn’t have to be human; I’m sure I could figure something out…

It's destined to be made.
That's how you're able to describe it so well... are you one of the ex-spouses?? 😼
"You are not a science experiment, you are work of art". The best most beautiful thing he said all day long to her...
And that one worked, which is why he kept it in the "script" --- the other lines were still a work in progress. He was eventually going to say the right thing. It was only a matter of time.

@@freefallingohno humf.. I was being a petty B that day, huh? Lol damn.. sorry OP if you see this.
Excellent acting from both parties.
This is just Groundhog Day starring William Murray.
Plot twist, female lead is the missing 6th Spice Girl, Temporal Spice. Also, the waitress is the best actor in this short.
You can place that joke using bone thugs and harmony .
How is that a plot twist?

No I think he was just bad at acting
Enjoyed this. Both leads where spot on.
Felt for the ‘crocs and socks’ guy and the Bond girls accent was perfect.
I loved it..The Simp and the Princess finally get together.
Before the KISS, she wrinkles her nose like a rabbit. SO CUTE.
Hilarious! Very well done.
Can I give it two thumbs up? Outstanding story Mr. Chen. Ms. Gobel's performance was also an unexpected delight.
Excellent time travel opportunity film Vincent Chen. I was right in there start to finish. Great.
I am left wanting more. Perfect!
Could someone explain the ending?
@NSD - Cad Services - mail oh ok thanks
When she saw the bed she said "ew", she knew she would end up with him in that bed next time(s).
My thought was that he was leaving her to go back and try again.....I assume that means she will soon be vanishing as the current time-line will be wiped out. Not really sure, but her finding the lines on the board was cute. My personal interpretation is that he had gone out on that date with her hundreds of times.

The broken thing is not a time machine or He has two Time machines.
There is more past the credits. So watch the credits and see the last part.
Wow the lighting is brilliant on first impression
Perfect Sci - Fi short .
Haha. That was great. 👏👏👏
Very good concept. Funny too. Poor match for him though. His heart is leading him astray Lol. Mr. Nice guy, get a science gal instead.
At this point it's not about the girl anymore, it's about solving the equation.

Dude you just explained every time travel story ever including this one
Can anyone explain the ending? And I think the lady has good acting.
@Frank Pittsthanks. I thought so too but then I thought it might have triggered the man in him to give up
So, when did he go on the last jump? It didn't change her timeline.
I love these characters
Guy bails out, very smart move..
6:10 Scott has some good taste in music it seems
Fallout 4 yea
Well Done! 💯
8:17
He’s skipping straight to the end part where he “learns a lesson”
There are 126,411 time travel shorts on RUclips.
Nice movie... but some dialogues are difficult to catch for a non-native ! would it be possible to enable subtitles, at least in english ?
I think close captioning should be on all movies, it's great for catching little asides and understanding certain soften spoken words that are hard to catch. Also, as you say, good for watching films from other countries where the accents and expressions are different.
The ironic thing is he's already been on hundreds of dates with her - more than if they had married and had children. Scott is one lucky guy.
Yeah I love it brilliant 😀😊
What name od this Singer ?!
That was great.
11:15
Haaaaaaaa
He’s still figuring it out
what happen at the end
he was always going back two minutes to create the perfect date

I'd rather be Scott, he is having quite the adventure here.
Sometimes I imagine that I had a device to travel to time
me encanto un saludo desde Perù
who is the female actor?
vimeo.com/164526158 Rachel Gobel
Remember to see the easter egg
To misquote from a semi-famous TV show about high school: "You're a smart chicken. But even if the smartest chicken comes up against the dumbest Lion, it's 'instant chicken mcnuggets. You're just 'Apples and Oranges"
The first rule of time travel - don't mess with a woman!
You forgot the second, third, fourth and fifth rule of time travel - don't mess with a woman! Lol!
or, you know, dont chase a woman who is so shallow that one line puts her off entirely and go for a woman who actually appreciates you and doesnt think shes too good for you.
Really well done ✅✅✅
I didn't get the climax
Every one of those times he failed she went flying into my bed instead. Giggity giggity! He should go back further and make some real $$$. That's all she cared about anyway.
Excellent!
Very cool.
what just happened .. can anyone explain to me
I was expecting that he was faking the time machine, and that he did in fact hire actresses and actors as a twist ending.
@theandykat: That leads to an interesting question. Let's say that you do that for a first date: hire actors and actresses to support a time travel story that you tell the Woman over dinner. What's the likely response (?) Chances are 99.9% . . . not good.
Why was she so angry at the end is it because he actually saw her as a science experiment and didn't really like her ?
@@gemstar7286 I don’t understand the ending either.
Don't know why she got so mad at the end, millions in historical art/artifacts for the taking all around her.
Except when tested they will be ruled as fakes since they won't be old enough.
He told her he only went back twice before, but the board she uncovered revealed he had gone back many more times than that since there was a bunch of "kiss lines" crossed out.

What a great song from the 40's
Just say, 'Thank you.' When she is freaked out. She is interested in him and he did not see the signs.
That was funny!
