Tell me again what those things are that Robert gave us?
This one is the spatial displacer.
You give it latitude and longitude coordinates
and it teleports you there.
This is a temporal manipulator.
It can apparently stop time
but the Professor and I aren't quite sure how to get it to work.
Didn't these use to belong to the Professor, anyway?
Just because you have something, doesn't mean you know how to use it.
That time manipulator sure sounds useful.
How come you guys can't figure it out?
The physics of temporal mechanics is extremely complicated.
The Professor and I have been working on it for weeks
and we've barely scratched the surface.
I found the solution.
Professor?
Who's that?
The solution.
Hi guys
my name's Mary.
(Roger)
Did you tell her
everything about us?
(Professor)
She's going to be joining our motley crew.
Mary here got a perfect score on her SAT
she's an expert pianist
acclaimed artist
photographer
winner of several science fairs and spelling bees
expert in several forms of martial arts
not to mention an excellent cook.
If she's so perfect, where the hell did you find her?
I'm in the Professor's Physics 2 class.
This morning I gave my class a conundrum in the realm of temporal physics
and she was the only one who solved it.
I believe she has the expertise
to help us unlock the temporal manipulator.
I don't have to tell you the value
of having such a device in our arsenal.
I'm looking forward to getting to know each and every one of you.
I think we're going to become very good friends!
I like her already.
(Felix)
Indeed.
She's okay, I guess.
All those brainiacs and their complex
science language were giving me a migraine.
What do you guys think of this Mary person?
She's cool, isn't she Carl?
It's like she's perfect in every way.
Doesn't that concern you a bit?
How she just arrived right when we needed her?
No.
But she's so smart and perfect.
Forget it.
What's her deal?
Who cares?
Stupid Mary.
Y'know, I think you're supposed to use the private
study rooms to actually STUDY.
Leave me alone.
What the hell is your problem?
Nothing.
(Carl)
If this is nothing, I'd hate to see SOMEthing.
Is that supposed to be Mary?
Leave me alone.
Why don't you like her?
She's the type of person who could really help our science team.
What about me?
What ABOUT you?
That's what this is about?
You think she's replacing you?
Why not? She's got it all.
I'm nothing compared to her.
You really need to shut the hell up and listen to what you're saying.
You and Mary are totally different people.
It's like she's vanilla and you're chocolate.
Sometimes you're in the mood for vanilla
sometimes you're in the mood for chocolate
but they're both really, freakin' good, y'know?
But being on this science team
the two of you are gonna have to mix.
You have to become a chocolate-vanilla swirl
and know what?
That's the best kind of ice cream out there
and it's always the one I order
and if the ice cream shop doesn't have it, I get really, freakin' pissed.
(eating apple)
(Professor)
Carl, Claire, good to see you.
You came at the right time.
Mary finally figured out how to activate the temporal manipulator!
It was a cinch!
Now, we're going to do a quick test.
I'm going to activate the temporal manipulator.
I'll freeze time
run to the athletics department
pick up a volleyball
run back here
then unfreeze time.
While from her perspective, twenty minutes will pass
for us, it will only take a second.
The volleyball will instantly appear in her arms, and she will--
Duh, Felix.
We get it. We're not dumb.
All right, here I go.
Three
two
one!
Hey, my apple!
What the hell happened to the lab?
Forget the lab, where's Mary?
(Professor)
She shouldn't have disappeared at all.
Perhaps she changed her mind about the test
or maybe she's going to surprise us.
Maybe she betrayed us.
Maybe this whole being useful thing was an act.
Yeah, right. She's not YOU.
She isn't.
What's this?
The temporal manipulator
it's covered in dust.
There's a stack of papers.
What is it, Felix?
It's a diary.
It's Mary's diary!
Why would she have a diary?
Let me see that.
Oh no.
Mary.
Poor Mary.
Spill it, Professor. What happened?
She managed to freeze time.
Unfortunately, she was unable to UNfreeze time.
Y-you mean she died?
She's dead?
It would seem so.
In a single second, she lived out the rest of her life
and her body turned to dust.
(Mary)
"Day 12: I haven't lost hope.
I have a few more algorithms to try..."
"Day 34:
The vending machine on the third floor is now empty.
I will now move to the vending machines..."
"Day 72:
Today is my birthday."
"Day 167:
I went back to figuring out a way to save myself--"
"Day 280:
My first grey hair."
"Day 400:
It finally hit me
I've been here over a year.
I'm never going home.
I'm never going home!"
"Day 563:
I have officially given up.
I know, it's hard to..."
"Day 790:
Full of regrets.
I only wish I could tell him how I felt."
"Day 11,027:
Today Mr. Bunny talked to Mr. Squirrel.
How delightful it was!"
"Day 24,120:
I have become master of time.
I am the absolute ruler."
"Day Blah-blah-blah:
(maniacal laughter)"
That poor girl.
She never deserved this.
