Smoke clears from the P.L.O.T Device. All gather around. Anne: It's beautiful! Aaron: It's unfathomable! Dave: It's .. certainly significant Billy: It's empty! Aaron: Are you sure? Billy: There's nothing in it. Anne: Look closer - quarks are very small. Jonathan: (at the window) There's nothing there - Dave: Jonathan, you're looking out the window. Jonathan: I know, there's nothing there. (They all gather) Anne: It's .. empty Jonathan: Is the window on? Dave: Windows can't be turned on or off Jonathan. Aaron: Maybe it's broken Billy: Dad, where is everything? Jonathan: I could've sworn I left existence right here Dave: The universe .. it's gone Aaron: This is bad. This is really bad. I have a lot of unfinished business in the universe. I left my dog in the universe! Who's going to take care of him? Anne: Wait - if the universe is gone why are we still here? Dave: Simple, I actually built this facility just west of the universe. Anne: What? That doesn't make any sense. You must be crazy. Dave: That's what they said when I built it - but it looks like I had the last laugh. QUARK enters whistling the Inspector Gadget theme. The scientists seem confused by its entrance. It starts turning dials on the machines - messing with experiments etc. Anne: Stop touching that! Quark: THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID! hah! haha! Dave: Who are you? Quark: I'm yo momma. Oooh burn. Hah. I'm so random. Billy: Dad, who is that? Dave: Well Billy, he appears to be what we in the world of science refer to as .. a wanker Quark walks up to Aaron, places a finger on his chest Quark: Got a stain Aaron looks down, Quark runs a finger up flicking him in the nose Quark: Hah. Gotcha. What does this do? (messes with another experiment) Anne: Don't touch that! Dave: Do you know what happened to the outside world? (Quark points to himself) Dave: Yes, you. Do you know what happened to the world? Quark: Ate it. Jonathan: What? Quark: I ate it. Aaron: How could you eat the universe? Quark: What? Your name wasn't on it. Bam. You got told. Anne: This isn't possible! You can't eat the universe. It's too big. Quark: That's what she said! Dave: Okay - where the hell did you come from? Quark: Machine. Dave: What? Quark: The machine. Jonathan: You came from the P.L.O.T device? Quark: Derr. Dave: Are you .. are you the quark? Quark: That's my name. Don't wear it out. Anne: You can't be the quark! Quarks can't talk. Quarks aren't 6 feet tall. Why won't anyone listen to me! This is science! Quark: If you love science so much why don't you marry it? Anne: I would if I could. Billy: Dad, where is our universe? Dave: Well, he ate it - so I guess Jonathan: It's inside him Quark: Just like yo momma! Jonathan: (confused) What? Quark: Aw yeah. I went there. (Raises hand for high five .. no one reacts. Runs hand through hair) Too slow. Jonathan: I just .. I don't even .. Quark: Alright squares, I'm just gonna go chill. Catch you losers on the flip side - Ooh what does this do? (Knocks over a beaker, Anne dives for it - it breaks.) Anne: (Stands, looks at broken beaker) .. we have to kill him. Dave: To get our universe back? Anne: Oh, yeah. Sure. That'd work too. Black. |
