The time is 7:35 AM. Please, wake up.

Wake up. Wake up.

Lazy boy, please, wake up. Please, wake up.

Lazy boy.

Lazy boy. Lazy boy.

...Cutting edge project by researchers in particle physics...

has been shut down by Government order. Hosea?

Mary, big news at Utrel Corporation.

Researchers here, working on Particle Physics, beleave, they've discovered a way

to accelerate a subatomic particle faster than the speed of light.

They are using a groundbreaking device called a superaccelerator,

but the public outcry has been so great,

that the Government today finally ordered a complete shutdown

of the Project. - This tool will help us to finally define

the nature of the Universe

and harness its energy.

Now, imagine a facility this size powering half the State of California...

PLASTIC GLASS PAPER

Hello! Hi...Mom. I'm late. How are you?

Yeah, I...I know. I know we haven't talked in a while...

Because you're going to ask me if I'm dating.

Yes, Mom. I'm dating.

A lot of really nice girls.

Yeah, I can't even keep track of their names.

You want to know one of their names?

Uh... Bril... lette! Brillette! Yes. She's French.

She's small, but she's wiry...

She loves to clean up arround the kitchen.

Mom...Look. I'm really la... But, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom!...

I will call you later. I promise. Goodbye.

Pathetic. That's not how you throw the ball! What's wrong with you?

Good morning, Kyle. How you doing?

Any work?

What do you say we all clean up the planet together? Can't do it by myself.

- Be careful, all rigt? I don't want to see you get run over now. - Up yours, my man.

Nice. Nice.

That may very well be our president someday.

Where are the quarterlies? Jackson's ready to cut you throat. - Good, thanks. How are you?

Hey, Ted, do you realize that your hair spray

may be solely responsible for the ozone hole?

Jack, how is it going?

You know...It's been a bad morning...

Oh, oh, Jack! Oh, Jack, I'm so sorry!

Ahem. Thanks for the coffee.

PICK UP FISH FOOD

Rook to Queen's Bishop.

-Well, look who decided to show up. -Ann, I'm sorry I'm late.

-You know, I'm doing you a favor, don't you? Keeping you on with a work performance like yours. -Sure...

So, let's finish the personel reports, complete the montly billing,

and clean up the desk by the end of the day. -You know, I was working on finishing those data...

We both know, if you wanted to show up on time, you would, right?

-There was a car accident... -Barry, Barry, Barry, I don't want to fight with you,

and I don't want to be your friend, so do the work, hmm?

I'd hate to kick you out, you're one of the cute ones.

You know, she had sex once in 1983, but she didn't like it.

What did we do last night? I woke up tasting paintment in my mouth.

Well, we drank, and you left. Then I picked up the blonde.

-No, you didn't. -Yeah, I did!

-She wasn't even interested in you. -You left, she got interested, all right? You owe me 20 bucks for your drinks.

Here is the update of the new filing system.

It's a shocking computer disk. You press that, and within three seconds it shocks you.

-Cure for the common hangover. Is it working? -Are your parents related?

-No. -No? Well, I think they are...

-Morning, Lisa. -Morning, Fred.

Out of your league, man. Did you read the profile? Ph.D. at 25. The chick's got no social life.

Look at that. She doesn't even smoke. He knows that. He's offered her a cigarette before.

What a jerk.

Look. Whenever she's nervous, she brushes her hair back over her right ear.

You see that? Right over the right ear. -Hm-m-m!

This has gone on for six months. What if just go over there and talk to her.

What, and spoil our relationship? No.

Right. Your peeping Tom thing is really much healthier.

-Guess what? -What? -Time to leave my cubicle.

-Right now? -If I had a door, I'd open it.

Excuse me, Barry Thomas?

Yes, but you probably want to speak to my boss. I'm just a small gnat...

-You signed this. I want to talk to you. -Dr. Moxley, you look great on TV.

Ann Jackson, Head of Personnel. I was watching the news and you were very impressive.

Miss Jackson, two of my assistants have been removed by some paperwork that Mr. Thomas signed.

-Really? -I've already sent two memos to him regarding the subject...

-...and gotten no response. -I don't think I've got those.

Let me help you personally, Dr. Moxley. Come into my office...

That won't be necessary, Miss Jackson.

Just put them back in the system. Lewis Hope, Thomas Plume.

-Done. -Miss Jackson, we all make mistakes. Just correct it.

-Yes, Sir. -Thank you. Good day. -Good day.

-Ann, we have just hundreds of people go... -You made me look like an idiot!

You're off of technical staff. Off. You'll take and file r�sum�s, and that's it.

Howard, would you believe it, Howard is now in charge of technical staff!

You...You bounced the head of the Program' assistants!

-I, I... One, one more slip-up, and you're bounced. You got it? -Yeah.

Good day.

FIND A NEW JOB OR DIE!

Rattled! The whole office, rattled!

You slow down the work and we all suffer, you know that.

Let's hug. Just once. It'll break the tension.

-Just slop me on some of that macaroni. -Yes, Sir.

Oh...That is just terrifying!

Excuse me?

Are you all right?

-You don't smoke. -What are you talking about?

You don't smoke. I'd offer you a cigarette, but you don't smoke, so why bother even?

Rico, some string beans, please.

-I don't smoke either. -And some rice, too.

So even if you did smoke, I couldn't offer you a cigarette.

I just don't smoke, so sorry to bother you.

Where are you usually locked up?

Oh, I'm just an experiment gone horribly awry in the Personnel department.

I see.

-I'm Lisa Fredericks. -I'm Barry Thomas.

What is it that you do?

Oh...Nothing. I just sort of boost morale in between threats of being fired.

Ah. Well, you seem to have a mind. That doesn't usually fit in the system.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice meeting you, too.

-Bye-bye. -Goodbye. And good luck!

I'm not shipping off the continent. I'm just having lunch.

Right, right. Thiaahhh...

So, uh, she likes me... A lot. Wouldn't you agree?

Yeah. I'd say that you and an ice cream headache are probably neck and neck.

Do I always sound like such an idiot, or do I save it for the people I really want to impress?

You're just thinking the wrong way, man.

-What if the ice queen thing's an act, a deffence? -O.k.

All right? What if she's a lonely one?

Huh? She'd be thankful to the first guy that came over to her and said anything.

I know these things, man. I know! I picked up the blonde last night, Right? Right.

-Um, right. -She's to be talked to.

-I got an air conditioning repair for...Dr. Specter? -Sure.

-Uh...Ahem. -Yeah, go ahead.

LISA FREDERICKS �131

Yes?

Barry Thomas. I'm here to see Dr. Fredericks. There's a slight problem in Personnel.

-You going to erase her from the computer, too? -It's regarding her paycheck.

We're updating our filing system, and I have to verify some personal information,...

Miss...Zevo. Otherwise, her check may be delayed.

-Well, that's the type of confusion we always expect from Personnel. -Thank you.

Well, you don't seem to be doing very well today!

-Get out of my office! Now! -Goodbye.

Who are you? Are you authorized to be back here?

It's all right. It's all right. Just come in and shut the door.

I'll just come in and shut the door.

I was just taking care of Dr. Moxley, I was helping out with one of...

Hey! I have a geranium plant at home! That's funny.

-What can I do for you? -Nothing. Nothing. I was just in the neighborood,

so I thought I'd say "Hello". Hello!

You came back in the middle of a restricted area to flirt with me?

-Is this...a bad time? -We spoke for 10 seconds on a food line.

That gives you the right to come back into my office and hit on me?

-No, no, I would... -You don't seem to get the point.

I don't consider playful banter over steaming string beans

-grounds for romantic trysts, sexual advances, or even... Can you get out from behind there? -Ah, yeah.

...Even a long-distance friendship. I'm not even interested in a pen pal.

It was great seeing you, too.

I'm sorry, Barry, but timimg's everything, and this just isn't the time.

It's not the time, right?

-How'd it go? -Oh, good, good, thanks.

I'll be alone for the rest of my life.

Thanks, pal.

Drinks tonight?

Yes, Howard. Let's just drink our lives away. Shall we?

O.k.

-Barry, what's up, man? You with me? Let's do it! -Coming.

-Hi, Ronaldo. -Se�orita!

Ah. My dozen, please.

Oh, those are quite beautiful.

-Thank you very much. -Por nada, se�orita.

-You say this happened just after work? -Yeah.

-What time was that? -6:15.

Did you know Miss Fredericks?

No. No, I didn't know her at all.

-I'm sorry, Barry. I know how much you cared about her. -I'm quitting tomorrow.

-What? -Getting on with my life. -What are you talking about? And what about me?

By staying on that job one more day, what do I have? What do I have?

I have my pants behind a desk, that's what I have.

-We need two more of these, please. -My dad said I'd never amount to much.

I don't want to disappoint him.

Look, man, I don't know what you're talking about. Whatever happened today was horrible,

but it doesn't stop us. We got to keep on going. Are you going to turn back?

-Maybe. -No.

-Time? -The time is 12:00 o'clock.

I wonder what she was thinking about.

Not about me, that's for sure.

Lazy boy.

-I don't have time for this. -The time is 12:01.

The time is 7:35 AM. Please wake up.

Wake up. Wake up.

Oh, please. I have a hangover.

Lazy boy, please wake up. Please wake up.

No, I don't.

...This cutting edge project by researchers in particle physics

has been shut down by Goverment order. Hosea?

Mary, big news at Utrel Corporation.

Researchers here working on particle physics believe they've discovered a way

to accelerate a subatomic particle faster than the speed of light.

They are using a groundbreaking device called a superaccelerator.

Come on, Hosea! That's old news. What about Lisa's murder?

...finally ordered the complete shutdown of the project.

This tool will help us to finally define the nature of the Universe

and harness its energy.

Now, imagine a faculty this size powering half of the state of California.

-It's remarkable. -If we could actually power a particle

faster than the speed of light, the energy released would be catastrophic.

Time and space would be shattered.

We'd be punched backwards in time and then move forward, until the accelerator is fired again,

And we'll punch back again in an endless loop, like a skipping record.

This circular time bounce would become our prison,

and we'd be prisoners without memory in a cell without a key.

Which theory is true?

Another tune going out over the KBRY lovers' request...

Yeah, yeah, yeah. "Scientist killed at work". Come on.

...and temperatures will diminish by early next week. We may...

One of us fell down last night.

Oh, man, I'm going to be late again.

O.k., I was drunk.

Hello. Hi...Mom, I... I'm running late again. How are you?

Yeah, right. It's been a real long time since we talked.

I did. I did meet a girl. No, I don't think you're going to meet her.

Because she was shot.

No, not... not with cameras, with bullets.

Mom, I... I got to go. I'll call you later.

O.k...I was really drunk.

That's not how you throw the ball! Pathetic. What's wrong with you?

Talk about pathetic.

-Didn't I tell you to be more careful? -Up yours, my man.

All right! Now we're getting somewhere!

Where are the quarterlies? Jackson's ready to cut your throat!

On her desk. Calm down. Comb your hair. Iron your pants.

Jack, would you believe nothing was in the paper about Lisa Fredericks?

Why, she won an award or something?

-Aah! Oh! -Oh, Jack, I'm so sorry!

Can I help? I'll get you some more coffee. - No, no! Thanks.

Howard... Damn it! This isn't funny!

-Well, look who decided to show up! -Ann, I cleaned off this whole desk yesterday before I left.

You know I'm doing you a favor, don't you, keeping you on with a work performance like yours.

So let's finish the personnel reports, complete the monthly billing,

and clean up the desk by the end of day.

-I did this work! -I can see that.

-We both know, if you wanted to get on time, you would, right? -There was a car accident...

-Again. -Barry, Barry, Barry, I don't want to fight with you,

and either to be your friend, do I? So let's just do the work.

I'd hate to kick you out. You're one of the cute ones.

Ow... Did you see that? She came in here just like it was yesterday.

You know, she had sex once in 1983, but she didn't like it.

Here's the update of the new filing system.

Wow, wow! You think I'm a cretinius moron, who'd fall for the same trick twice?

-Trick? -The shocking disk trick.

You got me yesterday.

Ehey, how come Lisa Fredericks' murder wasn't on TV, wasn't in the newspapers, nothing?

Lisa's murder?

Oh, come on, Howard, stay with me, please. You were standing right next to me, when she was shot last night, right?

Ghhh! We talked to the police together!

We went drinking last night. You're supposed to remind me I'm quitting today.

Homicides, please. Detective...Uh...Kryles.

We drank. You left. I tried to pick up the blonde, I paid for all drinks,

she blew me off, I watched Batman at home, called the power line...

No, no, no. The blonde was two nights ago. You said you scored.

Detective Kryles? You questioned me last night about Lisa Fredericks' murder.

Lisa Fredericks. She was killed last night.

Well, I saw it, I was there. You were there, you questioned me. Hello?

He hung up the phone.

You called him, didn't you? Yeah. You set this whole gag up.

I'l go pretty far for a jocke, but I don't cover up homicides.

Lisa?

It's fine. Please get the other papers to me by noon.

-Lisa! -Yes?

Barry from the lunch line. You... You kicked me. I can't get over this.

Sorry. You must be mistaken with somebody else.

-You were dead! I thought you were dead! -No, very much not. And I hope my condition continues. Goodbye.

-Good morning, Lisa! -I'm just so happy you're all right! -Look, I'm sorry, but...

-Who is he? -I really don't know. I don't know you.

-Cigarette? -No, thanks. Good bye! Shall we get this over with?

Miss Jackson, we all make mistakes. Just correct it.

-Absolutely. -Good day! -Good day! -Dr. Moxley, rest assured...

-What's going on? -Tell her I'm not involved.

You made me look like an idiot!

-You're off of the technical staff. Off! -Fine! -You'll take r�sum�s and file r�sum�s. That's it.

Howard, from now on you'll handle technical staff. I can't believe I'm saying that.

You bounced the Head of the Department's two assistents!

Ehey, Ann! I cared of that yesterday!

-One more slip-up like this, one more!, and you're bounced. Got it? -Mm-hmm.

Bounced.

PICK UP FISH FOOD

Hey, come on, man! Come on, that's my paper! Come on.

TIME BOUNCE THEORY POSES POSSIBLE THREAT.

Dr. Moxley. I'm Barry Thomas. We met yesterday.

-Are you Thomas? -Yes.

We haven't met. Anyway, that matter's taken care of.

I heard on the news about a time bounce... The time just stops, goes back, and repeats.

They used all my remarks out of context. But I can't relate it even. It's very complicated.

But, Dr. Moxley, I think the time bounce has happened. This day is repeating.

-What an unusual thing to say. -But I've seen it... Things are repeating all over the place.

Mr. Thomas, if the bounce were to happen, everything would loop back to a starting point.

Your memmory would also be reset along with the rest of the Universe.

The fact that you think you remember it means it hasn't happened.

-Don't worry about it. Good day! -But...

Great.

Rattled! The whole office, rattled!

You slow down the work, and we all suffer. You know that.

Right, right.

I'm sorry about how I came out to you this morning. It must have been a shock.

Are you assuming this morning's encounter's made us friends and now we can have a conversation?

No! No! God, no! That's the last think on my mind!

Good. Can I have string beans and rice, please, Rico?

I just hate meeting new and interesting, and attractive people.

Don't you even think to start a conversation with me! Can I please have macaroni? Thank you.

-I'm sorry. I didn't catch your name. -Me? Uh, Barry. Barry Thomas.

Would you like to have lunch with me today?

Well, I'm sure you're nice, but I just don't think so.

-Oh, come on, I'll make it worth your while. -How's that?

Well, I'll pay for your lunch.

I promise not to spit food in your face or make silly noises with my lips.

Thank you. What do you say?

-O.k. -Thank you.

Help!

I'm strictrly into theory. No grease stains. The physical world is just too disappointing.

Yeh, but to get your hands dirty and use your mind, and create the things... That's the exciting part! Isn't it?

Thinks don't always work out the way you want them to, Barry.

Lisa, you shouldn't pick up men at lunch. You don't know where they've been.

Joan, this ist Barry. Please eat something. You're getting mean.

-Not wearing the ring. -Wow!

-You are..? -Oh, relax. Her sister gave it to her.

She's available. Aside from dinner with me tonight, her schedule's open.

-Oh, you're not very subtle on private note... -You're not gonna make that dinner.

Oh, yes, I am. Joan will murder me, if I flake out on her.

-Again. -It's only twice. -O'k.

No. I mean you're not going to make that dinner tonight.

Why not?

This day is repeating.

The time bounce has happened.

Right after work, at 6:15 you go across the street to buy flowers, and you're...shot.

I've already seen it. You've got to believe me.

People are saying the same things that they said yesterday.

They're doing the same things. The news has the same story.

It's all happening again the same way!

-O.k, prove it. Point something out. -O.k!

I haven't been paying attention.

-I'll make it easier. What do I do next? -Your beeper goes off, and you leave!

I hope you've had fun with your little game. Call me when you grow up.

You have to believe me! You get shot two times!

-Stop! Can I help you? -Uh, Personnel. Going to see Dr. Moxley. He's expecting me.

O.k. Fine. Go ahead.

Looks like it's contained. Just in that one seal.

One seal or if they where fourty, it would be the same!

But this means we can't shut the accelerator down today.

Lisa, we don't have a choice!

We've got to keep the accelerator fully operational, until we get the situation under control.

This could be a catastrophe!

If one more seal has broken, we would have irradiated the entire lab.

-It was in perfect condition. I don't understand what happened! -It's a terrible embarrassement.

We tell them it's safe, and now we can't dismantle the core for at least two weeks!

I'll get a cleanup crew immediatelly.

-I'm sorry, Thadius. -It's not your fault, Lisa.

For 40 years something's gone wrong with every damned project I've worked on!

Well, you're bound for a change, then. Maybe the next project will hit.

No, this is the last project I'm to supervise. The way the press is handling this...

I can't take any further disappointmernts.

-What if you check the other seals? -No cleanup until 10 A.M. tomorrow.

I'll go check those other seals and structures now.

Wait a minute. I'll examine them! I'll determine what happen!

-No, let her do it. -Thadius, it's my job!

One more seal breaks, we'll be reading at night by our own glow!

This is my department! Thadeus!

-I want her to do it! -Thadeus, I've been with this project

since the very beginning. It's my expertese...

-You've caused enough problems. -How did you get in here?

-I want security down here immediately! -Security, get down at the acelerador.

Take those files to level three. And call Mr. Stevens. I need to speak to him by 4:00.

Get me some coffee, some fresh...coffee.

Surprise! Employee of the month!

You trespass into the highest level security area.

You accost three heads of the project, and I'm supposed to explain it.

I like you, Barry. I really do. You're fired.

Give me your I.D. and clean out your office by the end of day.

You know what's funny? If today was really today, I would have quit by now.

-Hey, sorry, man. -Yeah, well, stuff happens.

What's up? They fire you?

Will you believe me, if I tell you something that sounds impossible?

Well, yeah. Try me.

Lisa Fredericks is going to be murdered today at 6:15.

This whole day is repeating. We're in a time bounce!

Did you tell anyone?

-Yes! -That's why they fired you!

It's O'k. You're stressed out. We can explane it. You have "d�j� vu" or vertigo, or something.

But, but.. There have laws against this, don't they? They can't fire you.

Howard, up yours!

Sorry, man.

Dr. Fredericks, please. Will you have her call Barry Thomas, extension 322? It's urgent.

-Your I.D., Sir. -I...

-Sir, I can't let you in there without an I.D! -Lisa!

-Hi, Ronaldo! -Ah, Se�orita!

-�C�mo est�? -Good. Do you have my roses?

Barry, hold it! What's up? What's going on, man?

-Mire. -Talk to me!

Lisa! Get down!

Oh, this can't be happening. This can't be happening!

Uh...what I can say is I...I came out before Barry, when I heard the shooting...

-Excuse me, Sir. Barry Thomas? -All right, Detective, do you believe me now?

You'll have to come along to answer some questions.

Wait, hold on a second! He already gave a statement.

We were crossing the street together. And she...um...he didn't do anything!

He called me this morning to tell me about her murder. Now, do you want to go to jail, too?

CHARGE: ACCESSORY TO MURDER

-This day's about to repeat. -Yeah, no kidding, kid. They're all about the same around here.

Oh, my God! But what if it doesn't?

-I want another chance! -Hey! No more chances, man. You're doing time now!

The time is 7:35...

O.k. Today I'll save her.

Well, look who decided to show up!

Ann, you're absolutely right. If I wanted to be here on time, I would.

I'll just finish the personnel reports, complete the montly billing,

and clean off my desk by the end of the day.

You don't want to fight and also be my friend either.

So why kick me out, when I'm so damn cute?

-M-m-m-m. Howard! -What?

Get rid of that stain.

That's good work, man. You almost prevented her from talking entirely.

You don't remember a thing about yesterday, do you?

What's to remember, man? We had some drinks, I picked up the blonde after you left...

-No. She blew you off. You went home. You watched Batman. -What?

Howard, I want to explain something to you, but you're not gonna believe me, so just trust me.

I need to talk to Dr. Moxley. He's gonna be here in about 30 seconds.

But first I have to talk to Lisa out on the hallway. So, when Moxley gets here, I want you to keep him here. You got it? Good.

-Hold on, Dr. Moxley, the Head of the Department? -That's him, yes.

-How do you know that? -Trust me.

I know.

-Jess! Lisa! The time bounce... -Yes?

...is a fascinating theory, don't you think?

-Excuse me, who are you? -Oh, I'm Barry Thomas.

Oh, you seem to know your name very well and you seem to know mine.

Look, I know you're in a hurry and I don't mean to sound forward,

but I'm having lunch in the cafeteria at 12:30.

Personally I hate meeting new and interesting, and attractive people.

I'd much rather eat by myself, but if we have to, if we have to,

isn't it better to discuss how wonderful theory is

and how disappointing the physical world can be?

-Wow! That's quite a qualified pickup line! -Don't tell me about ist. I've been working it out for two days now.

-Enjoy your very nice morning! -And so please, 12:30. Don't forget!

-Who's that? -I have no idea.

Cigarette?

She doesn't smoke. You've been working here, for what, four years now? Pay attention!

-How'd you know about Moxley? -Moxley was already here?

-You made me look like an idiot! -I said you to keep him...

-You're off of technical staff! -I know, I know all about it.

Dr. Moxley?

-Joan, I need the isotope studies from Dr. Morgenrau. -I'll be there to say him...

Let's fire it just once!

If we're right, we disprove Einstein. That's pretty groundbreaking work.

Of course it's! It's been three years of my life. What are we supposed to do, break the low?

Some people would.

Look. They told us to pull the plug, and we're pulling it. Don't make it more difficult than already is.

O.k. O.k. Oh, by the way, I saw some coolant studies in the lab. They look like yours.

That's funny. I thought I brought them all back.

-Albert, I'm sorry I snapped. It's not about you. -All right, forget it.

Oh, Marlyn, do you have those papers?

-This afternoon soon enough? -Yeah, fine. Thank you.

09:11 - JACK AND ANNETTE COLLIDE WITH TE COFFEE

09:15 - MOXLEY ENTERS 09:17 - LISA IN CORRIDOR

12:30 - LUNCH WITH LISA 13:00 - LISA'S BEEPER GOES OFF

13:40 - UTILITY MAN 18:15 - LISA KILLED

Shut up!

I believe, you wanted the string beans. They're quite excelent today.

You are a very unusual person.

So, what do you do again?

I used to work in Personnel. Now I'm sort of trying to figure out my life.

-You're changing jobs? -No, no. The job is the same every morning.

I want to show you something. Look over there in the lunch line there.

Do you see those two people? They're about to bump each other.

And that woman there? She's gonna sneak an olive of the salad bar.

See that guy...right there?

-He's going to sneeze. -Ah-choo!

O.k., You're psychic.

No. No, I'm just learning to appreciate the moment.

It seems to be all I have anymore.

Do you believe in second chances?

No. Um, no, I don't.

What if...What if the time bounce really happened

and you had a second chance... to know someone?

Someone you watched from a distance and then got closer to?

Someone you talked to once and really got to know.

Like what their favorite flower was?

Like red roses.

Well, you could have seen me buy them.

Your ring? Your sister gave you that ring.

Joan sat there yesterday and told me.

She's supposed to be here today, but something happened. She's not here.

I told her I had lunch date. This is very weird.

-Look, you're a scientist. Let's talk theory. The time bounce must have happ... -Barry!

Oh, excuse me, Dr. Fredericks.

I've just had a compliant that Mr. Thomas was seen in your office this morning. -What?

Look, I was passing by and saw Denk in your office. And he was looking in your files, and he took something, while you were checking in the coolant studies...

I'm so sorry. If I'd known about this, I'd have fired him immediately.

-I made a time map of everything that happened... -What were you doing in Wing B?

At 6:15 you go across the street and you buy some flowers and...

I know it sounds crasy, but you're killed. You're shot. I've seen it twice now!

-You're fired! You have one hour. One hour to klean out your desk. -Fine! I'll do it!

-You're fired! Get out! -Goodbye!

Your beeper's about to go off!

Ohh...Dr. Fredericks, I am so sorry.

Oh. Well... What a disappointment.

Actually, I didn't hire him. He was here when I came.

-Hey, sorry. -Thanks, Jack.

-What happened? Did she fire you? -I need a yellow utility worker badge.

Why? Listen, man, I want to have children, o.k.? Stay away from my stuff. Jackson will castrate me.

She doesn't come back until 1:20. That's when she fired me yesterday. We got four minutes.

So, the air-conditioning repair guy goes into the science wing at 1:40. That's 24 minutes from now.

-Whip me up a work requisition order. I could fake my way through. -No, I don't know...

People can die of stress, Barry! It happens. It's happening to me!

What are you doing, redecorating? I'll have to be crossing guard at a feminist camp for the rest of my life!

-Yes, Miss Jackson. -Oh God, look, look what you've done!

And call me Mr. Stevens. I need to speak to him by 4:00.

Get me some coffee, some fresh coffe.

Oh, Miss Jackson, what happened? Annette, what did you do to my chair? - I-I-I-I-I-I don't understand...

Promise me, you won't have a large furry pungent bear-child

coming out of your chest!

-Just promise me! -Promise.

Hey, how ya doin'? I have to repair an air-conditioning unit for Dr. Specter.

Where's your uniform?

They told me to carry a window, but they didn't tell the paint was wet. Right? I'll get another one.

Go ahead.

-Ahem. I have an air-conditioning repair for a Dr. Moxley. -This says Dr. Specter's office.

Oh! Moxley, Specter. What's the difference? All these offices are interconnected.

It could be 100 degrees in there tomorrow morning. Just sign this.

-I don't understand what happened! -This is a terrible embarrassment for me.

We tell them it's safe, and now we can't dismantle the core for two another weeks!

I will get the cleanup crew immediatelly.

Let's go, Denk. Come on!

This is Robert Denk. We broke an isotope seal in the core.

I need a cleanup crew immediately.

Clear a cleanup crew for tomorrow at 10 A.M.

Ahh. Come on, Lisa! Get your butt out here!

-Lisa... -Get into my office.

-Stay off of hardware. That's my business! -I'll take responsibility.

-You will not take responsibility! -Thadius asked me to check those core seals!

We have equal status!

Damn it, Doctor!...

Let me do what I do well. We won't have any problems.

You're not doing very well today.

Do not jeopardize the time I put in here! Is that clear?

Don't interfere with my work! I'm warning you!

-Don't you threaten me! Get out of my office! Now! -Fine.

-What are you doing in my office? -Uh, air-conditioning repair. Don't worry about it.

Good thing I was here. Your office would've been a sauna by tomorrow morning.

I've got an air-conditioning repair for, uh, Dr. Specter.

Yeah. Right. Yes, somebody's already here.

That's impossible. They just called me 30 minutes ago and I just got here.

We might have an illegal entry!

-Two minutes of your time, please. -What are you doing here?

-Security! -No! Listen to me! The accelerator is going to be fired tonight!

Impossible. We're dismantling it. I want you out of my office!

I know you're not dismantling it, because a seal's broken!

How do you know that? That's classified infiormation.

Look, go chek the computer. Someone is delaying you on purpose.

They sabotaged it so it can't be dismantled, so they can fire it tonight.

Please check the computer.

If I am wrong, I will be happy to throw myself out of your office.

-Please! -O.k.

REQUEST>> OPEN ACCELERATOR FILES ACCESS DENIED

-I should have clearence for this! -You see that? They're trying to keep the information hidden.

FREDERICKS ACCESS DENIED

There's a file I don't use anymore... Mathematical theory,

that's should be still linked to the accelerator.

ACCELERATOR WARM UP : 10:00 PM ACCELERATOR FIRING SEQUENCE: 12:00 AM AUTHORIZATION: DENK, ROBERT

I've been trying to tell you now for two days.

Attention, we have a security alert for all science divisions!

Please detain a worker with paperwork for Dr. Specter.

-Guess who. I got to get out of here. -I can explain it to them.

What are you going to say... The day's repeating? Believe me, it won't work. I've tried it before.

Just meet me at the front entrance at 6:00. Don't do anything, don't talk to anybody. O'k? 6:00.

We've got him! Code 4. Section "B." Heading into the mainway!

Hold it! Hey, you're under arrest!

-Hey, stop! -He'll get away!

Hold it, Mister! Hold it! Hold it! Right now!

Hold it! Hold it!

Hey, Buddy! He's in a brown four-door. Call the main gate!

Yes? It's me. We may have a problem. Fredericks is working with someone.

I don't know!

I may need some help in this.

Good. When you find them, you know what to do. All right.

Stay there! Stay there, Lisa!

Oh... No!

Oh, my God!

I told you I'm not crazy. Let's go! -Call the police! -Don't move!

-You all right? -I don't know. Oh, God!

-What did you do after I left your office? -What?

-I copied the evidence against Denk. -Onto a disk?

-Yeah. -Have you got it?

No! I left my briefcase!

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Hold on!

Move it! Back it up! Get it out of there!

We'd better call Washington or the police. Or somebody.

-There's no phone in there. -I'm sorry?

My mom's idea. The old man brings his mobile anyway.

-What? -You know...

There's no phone, there's no disk. What are we supposed to do, mail in a complaint?

We have time. We'll think of something.

Aw, it's... It's beautiful.

You know, the last time I was in the woods, I was 9 years old.

I was burying my pet canary and I made a gravestone out of a paper plate.

And I wrote on it... "Fly to Heaven."

Hmm. I haven't told anyone that in...20 years.

Why do you remember? What makes you different from the rest of us?

I don't know. My memory's not that great anyway, and...

I don't know.

Something happened to you, or you did something.

What...What did you do that first night?

Well, after you got shot... I got drunk.

Came home. I knocked a bunch of stuff over. I collapsed in bed. I woke up. It was the same day.

-You're missing something. -No, that's it. My life isn't that exciting.

You drove through something unusual. You were near metal or chemical, or something, you're hit by lightning...

Come on! Use your mind!

O'k. I collapsed in bed, my clock said 12:01, and I got a shock.

A shock?

My lamp was broken. There were loose wires. I tried to fix it, but

-then I lit up like a christmas tree. -And then?

Then...It was morning.

There's a theory... Scott's theory

has a corrollary that says consciosness exists separate from the time bounce.

You could've gotten that bad shock when the first bounce happened. And that made you change in an energy level.

It pushed you out of the loop just enough, so you can remember. I bet that's it!

Lucky me.

-Barry, I'm...I'm sorry. -No, no. It's...

-I mean, you saved my life. -Self-interest.

I...I've been watching you out of my office for such a long time.

The other day, I gathered up the nerve to actually speak to you. I made a fool out of myself.

But I thought, hey, I'll have another chance to speak to you someday, right?

-But then you...Well... -We spoke?

-Yeah. Yeah, we did. -How was I?

-Great. You were very nice. You threw me out of your office. -I'm sorry.

I guess I was having a bad day.

That next morning when I saw you...alive...

I realized I had a second chance... A chance to save you.

-I'm sorry. -Hey, hey! I'm not going to let you die again.

-Hi! -Hi!

-You know, I'm usually not this type of guy. -I'm supposed to say that!

What time is it?

Oh, my God! 12:00!

-Now, we've got to do something! -There's no time!

-Quick! Tell me what your favorite color is! -What?

-What's your favorite color? -Green.

-Your favorite food? -Smoked oysters.

-Your favorite number? -37.1.

-Favorite music? -That's hard.

No, just tell me!

-What is it? -The Carpenters.

The Carpenters? You got to be kidding!

Lisa...I love you!

The time is 7:35 AM. Please wake up.

9:17 LISA'S IN CORRIDOR WITH DENK. LIGHTS CIGARETTE.

9:25 DENK GOES THROUGH LISA'S OFFICE.

12:30 LUNCH WITH LISA. -Mom, I'll call you back. The day's repeating.

1:00 LISA'S BEEPER GOES OFF. 1:40...

You're pathetic. That's not how you throw the ball! What's wrong with you?

B 131 LISA FREDERICKS

Well, look who decided to show up!

Don't get your panties in a bunch. If you left us alone, the work could get done,

but no! You're so invasive that no one can concentrate arround here.

Stop assuming we're all idiots and don't judge people by how cute they are.

Well...

-This is what I get for covering for you all these years. -Thank you.

It might be time to look into your performance record.

You do that.

Well, nice knowing you, Barry.

-Excuse me, Barry? -Lisa!

I'm a little confused. How do you know me?

O'k. I know you like it compact without the crap, so here we go.

I'm going to tell you something that sounds impossible, but I'll back up it with some facts.

The time bounce has happened. We've met before... three times now.

And you told me that your favorite food is oysters and your favorite number is 37.1.

And your favorite music is The Carpenters, even though I think you could do better.

Now, Denk has been illegally firing the accelerator. You gonna find it out later this afternoon

and you'll transfer that proof onto a computer disk. Here's where it gets a little sticky.

I've seen you shot, twice now because of that disk.

But yesterday I was able to save you. But the time bounce happens and

I wind up here, memory intact.

I'm the only one who remembers anything around here.

I made you a time map. Sit back and watch the day unfold.

It's 9:15 now.

09:15 - DR. MOXLEY ENTERS

-Lisa? -Thadeus.

-Barry Thomas? -Yes, Doctor. I've gotten your memos.

You, too, Lisa? Are we all losing assistants?

Actually, I...

Dr. Moxley, your two assistants are back on the computer. They'll have their passes back by lunch time.

Dr. Fredericks was so nice to explain the whole thing to me.

-I appreciate that, Lisa. -Dr. Moxley, you look great on TV.

09:16 - JACKSON ENTERS ... I'm Ann Jackson, Head of Personnel...

Ann, Dr. Moxley's a very busy man. He doesn't have time to listen to your suck up. It's sad!

Dr. Moxley, if you ever have a problem, please, come to me personally,

not to my low-level staff.

Well, everything seems to be under control. Thank you, Lisa. I'll see you at the 9:30.

-Good day! -Good day!

Good day!

Howard!

Look. Over there. See that? He's about to light his cigarette.

He's met you in the hallway these past mornings. Today he can't because you're here with me.

What we have to do, is to keep Denk from finding out about the computer disk.

-Today I'll take all the information. -I...can't just accept this.

The epitaph on your canary's grave you made when you were 9 years old

was on a paper plate, and it said, "FLY TO HEAVEN."

Oh, my God!

Personnel. Oh, yes, Sir.

Why, yes, they are.

-Excuse me? -O.k.

-I don't think so. -Trust me.

You may not realize it yet, but trust me.

-Now, let's meet out by the front entrance in a half-hour. O.k.? -O.k.

Big daddy, that was freat! How did you do that? Got'shaked baby, shaked!

Barry, I want you in my office immediately.

Relax, Ann. I'm quitting. O'k? Something I should've done a long time ago.

No, no, no, Barry. Dr. Moxley just called. You're under arrest!

-Well, what for? -For stealing classified computer information.

-Come this way, please. -Hey, Howard!

-Maritial status. -Single.

And occupation?

I don't know. What time is it? Just put down unemployed.

Hey, Lisa is not murdered this time, right?

Social security number?

Really, you should learn type. We may be doing this for years.

Well, I could always start again in six hours.

-Hello! How are you? -Thomas. You made bail.

-You guys got nothing in me! It's a bum beef. -Hey! There are second chances!

-How did you get the bail? -Don't even ask why I'm doing this. I don't even know her.

-You're not killed today! That's great news! -Barry, um...

Look, we...You really like me a lot. You just can't remember it.

I'd love to stick around, but that would be a lie. Barry, call me when your insanity clears up.

Close the door. Get in.

I don't mean to be realistic about this or anything, but shouldn't we call like a professional to take care of this?

-Howard, Howard! -We're not professionals...

We got to think of someting. He's gonna fire that thing tonight. And we'll get back to that hamster wheel. And you'll gona...

-The police kept the computer disk. -O'k! Then call the police and they will take care of it!

It's out of their jurisdiction, we have to tell Washington, and we don't have any proof!

We neeed to get back in that building. Is there any way to get back in?

Yeah, I think so. Yeah.

The accelerator needs a two-hour warm-up period before it can fire.

That means he'd start it, uh, in three hours.

If we have security tape the lab through their surveillance cameras, we could get the proof we need to stop them.

-Pay the bill. -What? I don't have any money, Barry!

-We had a lot more fun last night. -We did?

We took a walk in the woods and we sat by a fire.

-We sat by a fire? -Yeah.

Are you saying me you ..that we...and me...

I mean, did you get lucky?

-Oh, my God, you got lucky! -You got lucky, too!

-It wasn't just me. -This is so strange!

I know, but it was also temendous! The Earth moved!

-Ohh! -Want to step in the alley, please?

Let's go. You, too. Move!

Over there. -These are the guys that have been killing you.

-Where are the other disks? -Who are you?

-Shut up! -Why don't you just leave...

Listen to the question... Did you make any more disks?

-Excuse me, Sir. I'm not really a part of this. -Shut up!

-There's no reason to have me here. -Shut up!

There are no other disks.

Sorry, Barry, you tell them I don't have anything to do with this. With anything, o'k?

Any information I have would be useless. I don't know anything.

Oh, my God!

Hurry up!

Help!

Check down there.

I'm sorry about your friend, Barry. I know you cared about him.

That's funny. He said the same thing to me when you were killed.

Nothing!

-What? -I didn't leave the light on.

Lisa...

-Thadius is in that house. -What?

I'm sorry I wasn't able to tell you this before,

but six months ago, the Justice Department asked me to help them in an investigation of Thadius.

Why are you investigating Thadius?

Because they suspected he'd broken safety regulations trying to get accelerator up and runnung on budget.

What are you talking about?

Lisa, he was the one, who broke those seals today to stop the dismantling!

-Moxley broke those seals? -That's right.

And we don't know what else he might do. We better talk to him.

I don't think so.

I'm afraid I'm going to need you as material witnesses.

-Shall we? -O.k.

-Thadius, what are you doing? -I'm sorry, Thadius. It's over.

-Thank God, Lisa, you're all right! -Thadius!

Now, Robert, you're not going to fire that accelerator tonight! That's too dangerous!

What are you talking about?

It's true, Robert. Your name is in the computers authorizing the firing sequence for tonight.

That's impossible!

Dr. Moxley, with all due respect, what are you doing in my house?

I'm sorry, but I hoped to find another disk with the proof against him.

He crashed the mainframe computer before I could retrieve anything.

He's lying.

Who were you waiting for? Who were those two men in the truck you were talking to? Who are they?

-Hello, Ted? It's me. Where the hell are your men? -Who are you talking to?

-Don't move! -I'm just, uh, taking off my coat, o.k.?

Thank God you made the right choice.

He set me up! Don't you understand?

The accelerator is going to be a $50 billion industry in five years!

He doesn't care about you!

-Thadius, you said... -I said what I had to.

-Sometimes you do what's wrong to do what's right. I'm sorry. -No! -Oh!

I truly am sorry.

The time is 7:35 AM. Please wake up.

You bastard!

What kind of man are you? I can't believe it. You shot her...

And him...And me in cold blood!

But that's it, pal. You're finished. No more hamster wheel for me, you slimy son of a... Ohh!

The time is 7:35 AM. Please wake up.

Please wake...

This cutting edge project by researchers in particle physics

has been shut down by Goverment order. Hosea?

Mary, big news at Utrel Corporation.

Researchers here working on particle physics believe they've discovered a way

to accelerate the subatomic...

Hi, mom. No, we haven't spoken in a while.

Yes, I have met a girl.

I just don't think it's going to work out.

Tell me, mom. What? What's all that matters?

Yeah? All that matters is how it feels?

It does.

It...It feels right. Yeah, you said it. Nothing good comes easy.

Mom, I'm...I'm running late, but I promise I'll call you later, o.k.?

I love you, too. Bye, mom.

You're pathetic. That's not how you throw the ball. What's wrong with you?

Treat them with respect. They are human beeings.

-You know, you're not such a bad guy when you get to know you. -What the hell are you doing?

I know who you are. You're helping the Justice Department catch Moxley.

I want to blow him out of the water.

You wanna help?

-Morning! -Morning!

Come in.

-Robert, what is this? I've got a report. -You, uh...You better sit down.

-Barry here has someting to tell you. -The time bounce has happened.

-Excuse me? -The time bounce. We're in it.

The Earth has stopped as we know it.

Children don't grow up, people don't stay dead,

We'll never have another holiday and you'll never see another flower bloom.

What are you talking about?

And I've fallen in love with a beautiful young lady,

and, so far, I could only see her for a few hours,

and it breaks my heart to meet her every morning a stranger.

See, I want her every day. I want her to grow old with me.

That's why life is so precious... Because time passes.

Who is this...?

Who's this girl?

37,1

Oysters.

Green.

The Carpenters...

"Fly to Heaven".

All right, look. We play the day as normal. When he goes to warm up the accelerator tonight,

I'll call for backup, you two will be out of it and it'll be over.

-If I wake up tomorrow and it's today, I'll kill myself. -Look who decided to show up!

I am Robert Denk and this is Dr. Fredericks.

Oh, yes. Of course I knew that. What a pleasure it is...

We need more men like Barry. He's an excellent worker and we would like to treat him accordingly.

Sorry?

Barry, I'd like that evaluation report of Miss Jackson on my desk by noon.

-Sure thing. -Evaluation?

We are like this!

-Hey! -Howard, you're alive! -I wasn't in the bathroom that long, was I?

-Ohh! Sorry, sorry! -Careful, guys!

-Oh! -Ohh! Oh, Jack, I'm so sorry!

This is a terrible embarrassement for me.

We told them it's safe, and now we can't dismantle the core for two weeks.

No one was hurt. The radiation's contained in the core. I think people understand.

Better double-check on those seals.

Thank you, Lisa. Thadius, I take full responsibility.

I'll get a cleanup crew and I'll deal with the press immediately.

Well...

I admire your attitudes.

I know an individual who loves red roses. May I?

-Se�orita! -Hi, Ronaldo!

-I got it. -Really? -Yeah. It's my pleasure.

Hey, what the hell do you...

Thank you!

Are you aware that coffee is one of the five all-time great smells in the world?

-No. -Well, it is. Then you have home-baked sourdough bread,

-Opening day at wrigkey field... -New shoes...

- ... Fresh roses... - ... Rain ...

...Your perfume.

Um, I don't know what's happened the other days, but we have to take it a little slower this time, o.k.?

It's too late for that.

I've died for you already.

-I got to get used to this. -It'll work out, you know?

It already has.

And now for the local news. A man identifyed as Robert Denk, a research scientist at Utrel Corporation,

was found murdered this evening. The victim was discovered in his...

-Moxley hasn't changed the codes. -Is that good or bad?

I don't know.

-Dr. Fredericks? -Yes?

-You must be Barry Thomas. -Hello! How are you?

I have to ask you to step inside. You're wanted in connection with Dr. Denk's murder.

-What? -Dr. Moxley's orders.

Listen, fellas, it has been a really tough week. It has been all tuesdays!

-Sir... -I've already been killed today.

-Sir, I understand... -Stop giving me a hard time! -Mister Thomas...

I'm going to have to come back here in the morning and make sure that you're fired!

Don't think I can't do it. I'm in Personnel!

Please give her the gut. Please.

You guys don't seem to get it. I wake up every morning clutching the pillow,

and it's not Lisa, and Jack still gets spilled with the coffee!

So I'm afraid, you're going to have to step inside. Go...Now...Move it...

1, 2, 3, Let's go!

So much for the surprise visit.

RECORDING

How about a little something special at 11:59? O.k.

-Hold it! Give me the gun! -Thadius, you can't fire the accelerator.

-Why are you trying to stop me? -The time bounce has happened!

-You know, what they're asking me to do is wrong, Lisa! You know that! -Listen, Thadius, the time bounce, it's real!

-Go ahead! 15 years ago, they stopped work on my superconductor... -Thadeus, you're not listening to me!

10 years to design a phase-gravitational field. The Germans beat me by a month!

And now they're going to dismantle my accelerator before it has a chance!...

-It doesn't work! -No! I have no more time!

-Thadius, it doesn't work! -Go on. Get up here! Go on!

-Is there an abort switch on that thing? -There's an yellow button.

Please don't.

-Barry! Are you o.k.? Oh, my God! -Ahh! That's all right.

Hey, Doc, tomorrow I may shoot you first.

I'll just keep coming back till I get it right.

Got you a little surprise, Doc.

WARNING--POWER FLUCTUATION NOW AT 30%.

-Did it abort? -No!

-Any way to stop it? -No. He disconnected it!

Damn it!

Damn it! Get away from there! Get away!

-I can't get it! -I'll get it.

There's not enough time! We'll never make it!

We'll make it! We'll make it! We have to make it. No more second chances!

Lisa, I love you.

12:02.

It's wednesday. It's wednesday!

-Don't move! -Don't move!

-Yes, Sir. -This man's been shot. Call an ambulance.

Who are you?

I'm Dr. Fredericks. Dr. Moxley tryed to fire the accelerator illegally.

He tryed to kill us.

That's not what we were told. You're under arrest.

-We have proof! -Put the cuffs on and read them their rights.

We're under arrest! How about that? We're under arrest!

Every minute will be brand-new. We'll never know what will happen next.

-I know what will happen next. -You do?
