Hi I am Jim and I am proudly an athiest.

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

PASTER
I am getting ready for my sermon tommorow.

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

PASTER
What is that?

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

PASTER
Oh no thats horrible, what can I do?

GOD
Pray so I will do something about it.

PASTER
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.

PASTER
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).

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

PASTER
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.

PASTER
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)

PASTER
What makes the flash drive divine?

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

PASTER
You mean you have a server in heaven?

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

PASTER
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.

PASTER
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
We are sorry to inform you but Bill Wolfinheimer wants to create baby robots to destroy the world!

SKY
Oh no, thats bad.

STEVE
Jim and Sky, you need to leave before zero six hundered hours, Bill Wolfinheimer is hunting you guys down.

JIM
What?

SKY
We are going to die.

STEVE
If you come with me you wont.

JIM
Whatever you say Steve.

SKY ^
I trust you Steve.

INT. STEVES GARAGE - DAWN
JIM
What do we do now?

SKY ^
What do we do now?

STEVE
First Before I explain what is going on, please stay here until at least zero six hundered hours.

SKY
Why zero six hundred hours?

STEVE
You won't believe me, but stay anyways, at twenty hundred hours the world will be destroyed and You two, I and two other people will be sent back to our respective places where we were at zero six hundred hours (and yes even if you try dying you will be looped back, to the other people in the loop you will be dead until the loop resets)

JIM
Who's resetting it?

STEVE
God.

JIM
Theres no God.

SKY
Yeah there is no God.

STEVE
Well lets just hang out until zero six hundred hours in here, we got Mario Kart.

STEVE
(loads mario kart into the wii and hands out controllers)

JIM
Why is there no sound?

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

SKY
No RF?

STEVE
All my RF Modulators are broken and I don't have a VCR.

JIM
Fine.

SKY
At least we are having fun?

JIM
What time is it?

SKY
