INT. JIM'S ROOM - DAY

JIM
Hi I am Jim and I am proudly an athiest.

JIM
Thats someone who does not believe in God.

JIM
I like this place, its cozy and I like to code on my laptop.

ANNIE 
(annie peeks into the room)
Jim clean your room.

JIM
Shut up Mom, I don't wanna.

ANNIE
Ugh.

ANNIE
When will you just clean your room for once huh?

JIM
Probably never Mom.

ANNIE
You are grounded.

JIM
Get out!

ANNIE
No!

ANNIE
I am taking your computer.

JIM
(crying)
No!

ANNIE
You are not getting out of this room for a week.

JIM
Oh really?

ANNIE
Really.

EXT. OUTSIDE HOUSE - DAY

JIM
I am out of the house disobeying my mom (laughs).

STEVE
Hey Jim how's it going?

JIM
Not well, my Mom grounded me.

STEVE
Oh what did you do?

JIM
She wanted me to clean my room but I didn't.

STEVE
Yeah she's kind of extreme when she asks you to do something and you don't do it.

JIM
I agree.

JIM
(walks to the Gym)

INT. GYM - DAY

JIM
Well, I need to get more fit.

SKY
Who's that guy?

JIM
My name is Jim.

SKY
My name is Sky, my number is: (813) 555-9586.

JIM
Cool mine is: (813) 555-1992.

SKY
Hey the last four digits are the year I was born.

JIM
What gym equipment are you going to use today?

SKY
Treadmill.

JIM
Cool me too.

INT. HOTEL - DAY

JIM
I needed to get away from my Mom.

SKY
Me too.

SKY
Are you an athiest too?

JIM
Yep, isn't that cool.

SKY
Yep.

SKY
Lets go to the pool.

JIM
I wonder if there are camera's spying on us in the bathroom?

SKY
There probably is, those sickos.

JIM
I agree that is sick.

JIM
So lets go to the pool.

SKY
Ok.

JIM
(leaves the room off screen, and returns a moment later)
Wait, the pool is out of service.

SKY
No way.

SKY
(leaves the room off screen, and returns a moment later)
You are right, and that is stupid.

INT. CHURCH - NIGHT

PASTOR
I am getting ready for my sermon tommorow.

GOD
Don't I need you to do something else. 

PASTOR
What is that?

GOD
Bill is creating baby robots that will rule the world and they will attack at nineteen hundered hours tommorow.

PASTOR
Oh no thats horrible, what can I do?

GOD
Pray so I will do something about it.

PASTOR
LORD please don't let Bill's baby robots destroy the world In Jesus's name amen.

GOD
I will do it, however I will loop tommorow because I have chosen 2 athiests to save the world because why not.

PASTOR
That sounds like a dumb idea?

GOD
I want to show people that you don't have to be the greatest and the strongest to make an inpact (you just need to be chosen by God).

PASTOR
You are right, not My will, but Yours be done.

PASTOR
One more thing, whos going in that loop.

GOD
The two atheists named Jim and Sky, Me, You, Steve, The Cop that pulls you over for a ticket because you sometimes speed.

PASTOR
What, you said Me, Steve and the cop, why are we involved?

GOD
Well they need someone to preach the gospel and the cop will arrest them for stealing (they love stealing things, not all athiests do that just so we are clear) anyone who is not in the loop will forget, oh yeah Steve is the storage priest (he will sell the athiests a divine flash drive for $42 dollars)

PASTOR
What makes the flash drive divine?

GOD
The data presists between loops even if destroyed (the files are stored in my cloud).

PASTOR
You mean you have a server in heaven?

GOD
Who said a cloud can't have an IP address.

PASTOR
I thought clouds were just something that had to do with rain?

GOD
I make the rules not you, so if I want a cloud to have an IP address, I will make the cloud a server and assign it an IP address.

PASTOR
Ok when is the timeloop range

GOD
Tommorow from zero six hundered hours to twenty hundred hours (because that is when everything gets destroyed).

INT. HOTEL - DAWN
SKY
Hi its a nice day

JIM
Yeah I agree

NEWSHOST

STEVE

JIM
Why is there no sound?

STEVE
Cause some dufas busted a RCA cable off in the audio jack of the TV.

INT. STEVES GARAGE - DAY

SKY
What's happening, first off Rand asked me for whether I will go to his cookout, He said that yesterday and now he said it today even though he said that he never asked it yesterday and second the same commercial came on both yesterday and today at the same time?

STEVE
Now that sounds like a time loop.

SKY
What?

STEVE
Like groundhog day and yes I know why it is happening.

SKY
Can you tell me why?

STEVE
Yes, the world will end due to the evil tech guy Bill Wolfenheimer causing destruction with baby robots and God is looping Me, You, Jim, and The Pastor.

SKY
Okay thats weird.

JIM
Anything else?

STEVE
Do either of you have $42 dollars? I will sell you a special flash drive that will allow you to store files across loops.

SKY
No!

JIM ^
No!

EXT. WALKING TO STORE - DAY

SKY
We must not let that person at the store not knock us out again.

JIM

The cop arrests them both and puts them in the car.

INT. In Cop Car - DAY

COP
Why did you have to do that?

SKY
I thought we could get away with that, it was only $42 dollars.

Taking $42 dollars or even just a cent is still stealing.

SKY
Haha we are in a loop.

COP
Not so fast, I got the bigger laugh I am in the loop as well.

JIM
He got you good.

COP

COP

SKY

COP
