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.
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. :)
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.
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.
@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 (?).
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?
"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.
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.
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. .
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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, 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.
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"
@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.
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.
Scott, Scott, Scott, when will you learn? Women! You can’t live with ‘em; you can’t live without ‘em... And it looks like you’ll be working the Game of Hope for a while longer. But look at it this way: when you get tired of the chase, you’re going to have one hell of a novel to sell. Keep the LV duds and you should have success on the book signing tour(s)... I’m telling you Scott, one of the most efficient ways to time travel and/or find true love is through a good book. Meanwhile, it’s your good fortune that Mr. Chen got you launched on your true path. Drop back sometime, OK?
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.
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.
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.
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?

"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.

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?
Enjoyed this. Both leads where spot on.
Felt for the ‘crocs and socks’ guy and the Bond girls accent was perfect.

Hilarious! Very well done.
I loved it..The Simp and the Princess finally get together.
Can I give it two thumbs up? Outstanding story Mr. Chen. Ms. Gobel's performance was also an unexpected delight.

Ah thanks man
Dude you just explained every time travel story ever including this one
I am left wanting more. Perfect!
Perfect Sci - Fi short .
very well done, Rachel Gobel is perfect.
Wow the lighting is brilliant on first impression
Guy bails out, very smart move..
Excellent time travel opportunity film Vincent Chen. I was right in there start to finish. 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.
@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 (?).
That was great.
A very entertaining little movie with a great storyline. Thankyou.
Smooth. LOL. This was really good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.

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!
Lesson: Don't be Scott. Be the a**hole. Scotty doesn't know.
I'd rather be Scott, he is having quite the adventure here.
Damm haven't heard that song since fallout!! Sweet

There is more past the credits. So watch the credits and see the last part.
Funny!!!

After he discovers the time machine he becomes a cool guy
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.
Now that was enteetaining. Really Good

Fallout 4 yea
So, when did he go on the last jump? It didn't change her timeline.
Really well done ✅✅✅
Very cool.
That guy bailed out of that situation like Stewie Griffin.⚡️⚡️⚡️
Remember to see the easter egg
An advice for short film-maker, always put english subtitles. I can't understand english only by speaking :(
Agree
I was expecting that he was faking the time machine, and that he did in fact hire actresses and actors as a twist ending.

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.
Amazed
11:15
Haaaaaaaa
He’s still figuring it out
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.

he was always going back two minutes to create the perfect date
@@JOBRAIL1 Probably more like 2 hours.

Loved this. Manipulator to the max
who is the female actor?
