Big Adam Laura, this is... me.

Young Adam Hi.

Laura Parallel contact, babe?

Big Adam Well, you know, you've always said that you wished you'd met me earlier. Here I am.

Big Adam [to his younger self] I spent thirty years trying to get away from the me that was you and, I'll tell you what, kid, I hate to say it, but you were the best part all along.

🧡

🥱

Young Adam You MADE yourself hate him... 'cause it was easier than missing him.

🧡

🥱

Big Adam Well, I'd say Bring Your Kid to Work Day was a huge success.

Louis Reed Uh-huh.

Young Adam Yep.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam Do you remember this?

Big Adam Remember what?

Young Adam This, right here, right now. You being here in 2022.

Big Adam Okay, I know where you're goin' with this...

Young Adam I mean, if this is happening to me...

Big Adam You're wasting your time.

Young Adam ...that means it already happened to you, right? Unless it works more like a multiverse where each ripple creates an alternate timeline...

Big Adam [irritated] It's not a multiverse! My God, we watched too many movies.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam [to Adam, after figuring out something Adam didn't] God, it's like I traded my brains for those muscles. It's a shit deal.

Laura [smiles] Cute kid.

Big Adam [to Laura] Precious, isn't he? Don't you just wanna hold him underwater till the bubbles stop?

[Laura chuckles]

Big Adam Oh, I freakin' hate myself.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Big Adam Yeah, well, when a bad idea is the only idea, it becomes a great idea.

Young Adam Who said that?

Big Adam You. Nine years from now, right before you get arrested.

Young Adam What?

🧡

🥺

🥱

Ellie Reed [to Louis about 8-year-old Adam] He's an odd duck, like his dad. I happen to collect odd ducks.

🧡

👏

🥱

Louis Reed I'm the godfather of time travel?

🥱

Louis Reed Sometimes it pays to be a nerd, guys.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam I think... I think it's easier to be angry than it is to be sad. And I guess, when I get older, I forget that there's a difference.

Big Adam How'd you get to be so smart?

Young Adam How'd you get to be so dumb?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Ray [after beating up Young Adam] Boom!

Chuck [laughing] Yeah. Nice, man.

Ray You crying, Reed? Oh no, Chuck. Look, we made him cry.

[Young Adam runs away]

Chuck It's like he was trying to lose.

Ray Run away, Reed!

[Adam slams Ray to the wall]

Ray What the hell?

Big Adam I'm not supposed to do this, but you ever hear the expression, "Every bully has a bully," Ray? Well, yours isn't holding up his end of the bargain, so I'm gonna take over.

Ray What are you talking about?

Big Adam [shushes Ray] You're a good fighter, you like to kick ass, you're a big kid, but if you go near Adam again, I'll know, and I will find you, Ray, and it won't be like a couple of kids in a playground scrap. I will pull bones out of your body, I will sharpen them, and I will use them to stab little Chuckie over here.

Chuck What did I do?

Big Adam [to Chuck] Shut your mouth, Chuck, or I'll fill it with Ray's feet.

[to Ray]

Big Adam D'you understand what I'm saying, Ray? You got all of it? The bones?

Ray [terrified and hardly able to speak] Y...

Big Adam Your feet... in Chuckie's mouth?

[Ray pees his pants]

Big Adam Good. Are you peeing right now?

Ray Y...

Big Adam You're a real streamer. Get yourself home and clean yourself up. Be the change you wanna see, okay?

[Ray and Chuck run away]

Big Adam God, I hated those assholes.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Big Adam She still hasn't cleaned out his closet.

Young Adam She's not much of a housekeeper.

Big Adam Hey. You have her to take care of you. She has no one. You understand? Do you understand? She wakes up every morning with a broken heart and a, and a closet full of his clothes and gets nothing from you but a fistful of crap, and not even, like, ten seconds of genuine empathy.

Young Adam I'm you, you know.

Big Adam Tell me about it. You know, thity years, you still get sick to your stomach every time you remember how you treated her now.

🧡

Louis Reed Mankind has no business tampering with the mechanics of the universe.

🧡

👏

🥺

🥱

Young Adam Ever had your ass kicked by a 12-year-old nerd with an inhaler? Suppertime, Spanky.

🧡

🥱

Young Adam Superhero landing!

Big Adam I hate to say it but you were the best part all along.

Maya Sorian You just never understood the bigger picture.

Louis Reed And you never understood the science.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam It wasn't my fault.

Ellie Reed I know you, Adam. I know that mouth of yours. I know exactly what got you punched.

Young Adam He was giving me crap in front of the whole class. I couldn't just take it.

Ellie Reed He's twice your size.

Young Adam Everyone is twice my size. I've seen babies bigger than me.

Ellie Reed I don't understand you.

Young Adam Dad would.

Ellie Reed [sighs] What's goin' on, honey? Can you just tell me? If I keep havin' to leave work in the middle of the day, I'm gonna lose my job. It's the third time you've been suspended for fighting.

Young Adam I know. You'd think I'd be better at it by now.

Ellie Reed This goes on your permanent record. Do you get that? Do you care about your future? Do you? Son, you better start caring, because the future is coming, sooner than you think.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam Make good choices, okay?

Ellie Reed Said the boy who got suspended. I love you, honey.

[mimicking Adam]

Ellie Reed I love you too, Mom. More than I know.

🧡

🥱

Big Adam [to his younger self] When I say "classified," what does your brain hear? Chocolate?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam Will you stop and listen to me? This is my fixed time. You already had my childhood. You had adventures, you flew planes, and I'm still the nerd with an inhaler who gets his ass kicked. I want the rest of it.

Big Adam You want the rest of it?

Young Adam Yeah.

Big Adam Okay, here's the rest of it: Dad's death screws you up more than you ever realize. You get depressed. You get angry. You wander around high school without ever making a social dent. College is a high point until, after a year, you lose your scholarship for something that is so unbelievably stupid I cannot even say it out loud right now. You end up in the Air Force. Turns out you could really fly. And then along comes time travel, and the whole world starts to fall apart until the only woman you have... the only woman you ever loved gets taken away. Do you understand me? Till you lose... She just gets taken away.

Young Adam There's gotta be more than that.

Big Adam There is, kid, and thanks to Sorian, none of it's good. We can fix it.

Young Adam By destroying time travel?

Big Adam That's right.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam Wait, wait! How do you know my name?

Big Adam You're Adam Reed. Born February 10th, 2010. Your parents are Ellie and Louis Reed. Louis would've died about a year ago. You don't play any sports because of an acute asthmatic condition.

[Hawking begins barking frantically]

Big Adam Plus you're freakishly small for a 12-year-old. You go to Franklin Middle School, where you've been suspended two, maybe three times for fighting - which is ironic because you can't fight to save your life.

Young Adam Young Adam, Big Adam: Hawking! Zip it!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Ellie Reed [enters the house and see Adam on the couch] Oh, hey. I'm surprised you're still up.

Young Adam Well, this night's been... full of surprises, Mother.

Ellie Reed That's chilling. What happened?

Young Adam How was your not-a-date? Will you be seeing him again?

Ellie Reed No. I don't know. I don't think so.

[knocking at door; Ellie opens it and finds Derek]

Derek Hi.

Derek Me again.

Ellie Reed Yes, it is.

Derek You left your scarf in my car.

Ellie Reed I did. Gosh, thanks.

Derek Oh, hey there, kiddo.

Ellie Reed Oh. This is my son, Adam. Adam, this is Derek.

Derek Oh, hi ya, Adam.

Young Adam Hello, Derek. You have a wonderful mouth mullet and you must be very proud.

Ellie Reed Oh my gosh, Adam.

[laughs]

Derek Never actually heard it called that before.

Ellie Reed Well, thanks again.

Derek Sure. Uh, see you soon.

Young Adam Unlikely, but I'll put in a good word for you, Derek.

Ellie Reed Okay. Okay. I'll see you at work.

Derek Yeah.

Ellie Reed Bye.

[closes the door as Adam gives Derek a look and points at him]

Young Adam He seems nice. What?

Ellie Reed You can be a real jerk sometimes, you know that?

🧡

🥱

[Adam is on the run in the hallway from Ray and Chuck]

Ray Adam! I'm gonna kill you! Reed!

Young Adam [accidentally knocking over a girl's belongings] Oh! Oh no. I'm so sorry. That's my bad. Hi.

Girl No.

Young Adam Okay. Bye!

Ray Reed! Get your ass back here.

Young Adam [pushed to the wall by Ray] Ow!

Ray Got anything else you wanna say?

Young Adam Actually, I...

Ray [punches Adam in the face] Huh? No more jokes? Oh, I'm gonna enjoy this.

Young Adam Who talks like that? Did you order, like, a Bully Starter Kit on Amazon or somethin'? I mean, do you even hear yourself? Chuck, we talked about this.

Chuck I didn't say anything.

Young Adam Shut up, Chuck.

[Ray punches Adam in the stomach and he and Chuck walk away]

Chuck That's what I'm talkin' about.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Young Adam Do we get a lot of girls in college? I...

Big Adam Adam! Time travel exists. It exists. Isn't that crazy? Every conceptual idea you have about the universe has just been thrown out the window, yet your big question is, "Do I get laid?"

Young Adam Do I?

Big Adam Jesus Christ.

Young Adam I was just wondering.

Big Adam [exiting] Well, wonder in silence.

Young Adam [whispering to himself, grinning] Oh, my God, it's gonna happen.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Ellie Reed [sees Adam sitting outside the principal's office] Not a word.

[Ellie has a look at Adam, sighs, and walks into the principal's office]

Principal Mrs. Reed...

Ellie Reed Did you see his face? And, what, you're gonna suspend Adam because, what, you think he started a fight with that thug Ray? Was it Ray Dollarhyde again? It's barely been a year since we lost his father! You could show some compassion!

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

[Young Adam stares admiringly at his future self's arm muscles]

Big Adam What?

Young Adam I just... You're... kinda ripped.

Big Adam Okay.

Young Adam Do you work out a lot, because... I don't think my genetics will have muscles like that?

Big Adam [overlapping] Do you ever have a thought and not let it come out your mouth? Could be fun to just keep it in, you know?

Young Adam Maybe in the future there's like... like, gene therapy or nanotechnology for...

Big Adam [as his younger self reaches out] Don't do it. Don't, don't... don't do it.

Young Adam So when does... all this... happen, and does everyone skip leg day in the future?

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Ellie Reed I don't think it's a date.

Young Adam You dress thinks it's a date.

🥱

Young Adam Roger that, middle-aged Adam.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Louis Reed Is that my jacket? Looks a little tight on you, don't you think?

Young Adam That's what I said.

Big Adam It's fine.

Louis Reed You look like a condom with buttons.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Big Adam Take it easy.

Young Adam [falls backwards yelling] Ah!

Big Adam Or... you know, fall down and scream. Put the bat down.

Young Adam Who the hell are you?

Big Adam Just put the bat down. I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise.

Young Adam What are you doing in here?

Big Adam Mostly bleeding. W... Wait, how old are you?

Young Adam What?

Big Adam How... old are you?

Young Adam Twelve.

Big Adam [to himself] Twelve. Shit.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Big Adam You're right, though. Teenage boys are horrible. It's like living with a urinal cake that yells at you.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Big Adam How do you destroy math?

Louis Reed Well, I've never written the algorithm down or demonstrated it to another human being, so it lines here in the old bean, and in the subbasement in a diamond-hard neuromorphic processor.

Big Adam Are you talkin' about your penis?

Louis Reed Can... can we be serious now?

Big Adam Yes. No. Yes.

Louis Reed It's a hard drive, okay?

[Adam chuckles]

Louis Reed God, you're such a child.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Big Adam I'm about to get my ass kicked.

Young Adam [repeating Adam from earlier] Don't worry. He doesn't wanna fight.

Big Adam They wanna fight. The really, really wanna fight.

Young Adam Just look 'em in the eyes and smile. Smile in a way that says, "I want this. I've been waiting my whole life for this," then drop down and hit 'em in the private bathing suit parts.

🧡

👏

🥺

🤔

🥱

Ellie Reed He's twice your size!

Young Adam Everybody is twice my size, I have seen babies bigger than me...
