In the extended cut they get married. 12 years later she wins the time machine in a divorce. She goes back in time and stops the whole thing from ever happening. Since he created it, he just makes another time machine and goes back as well. Then they fight through time like War of the Roses or Mr. and Mrs Smith. Please make this film 🤘
And that one worked, which is why he kept it in the "script" --- the other lines were still a work in progress. He was eventually going to say the right thing. It was only a matter of time.
I was about 7 minutes into this short when I realized something... the male lead can ACT. Seriously, when I first saw him dressed 'as Bond' and saw how he looked so stiff and out of place and his dialogue was stilted I thought, "Oh well, I'll watch this because I like time travel not because I'm expecting good acting." Suddenly, I noticed I had forgotten about the first couple of minutes and was 'buying into' HIS story... the story of a person seeking to correct a perceived mistake so he could win his heart's desire. KUDOS!!!!
0:44 I thought the same. "That......would have ruined the evening." I thought, "I........am not a good actor." But then I realized later he is a good actor. He is acting like a person trying to be cool. :)
I have watched about 50 of these short stories. This one speaks to so many of our most personal dreams and fantasies. It's reminiscent of the innermost thoughts we would not dare share with anyone because there has been someone in each of our lives that we felt that way about. It is both poignant and humorous and sad. To be able to capture all that in just 12 minutes is a magnificent feat.
Using the word "both" implies 2 of something and you listed 3(poignant, humorous and sad). Not a big deal but still, you used the word both when it doesn't apply.
The writing in this film does a great job of breaking the viewers' expectations, whether they be good or bad. The characters are also very dynamic, which keeps the audience engaged and invested in the story.
One of the best time travel stories because the time machine or time travel was integral to the story as compared to fish-out-of-water scenarios, closed loops storyline, and does address fate vs. free will through the succession of "nice guys" montage.
"You're a nice guy, _____"; that line cuts to my core. 1st. Why in the world would you not want a "nice guy"? 2nd. Its the very fact that girls like her are uninterested in the "nice guy" that "nice guys" become douchebags. Conclusion: Girls who aren't interested in "nice guys" are the wrong girls. Desire: Because "nice guys" were nice from the beginning, I wish every girl who thought like this at one point in their life were just unable to land a nice guy in the end because they don't deserve them. You shouldn't get to go through the worst and get a nice guy when you're done with the bad.
@R X Conrad: Yes, you notice how these time-travel stories always require that the first person you reveal the time-traveling to . . . is not a nerdy Trekkie (?).
Si muy groovy, "Yes men prefer blondes, But women prefer money and any man with or without hair." Ok one thing, the ice cubes in the drink were like MORE COWBELL. I liked this short film, well laid out theme, acting and goofy. Well done Marty McFly. .
Well played...focus was perfect and just wierd enuff, continuity in time travel is often hormonal, ....sweet characters, loved the cafe crew. Always wise to have a spare booth....waiting for the next 'blip phzzt' ...'jump'....sort of like deja vu with wattage/ jules verneic huberous, of youth ....seriously...humorous.
this was shot beautifully and all the actors were great! the end got me! so that means he was manipulating her the whole time? and he had been for at least as many lines were crossed out on the board?
Sad part is, after a gazillion tries, he finally managed to get her in bed. She got pregnant, sued him for support, and got everything he's got, including his time machine, so he could not go back and fix his biggest mistake. "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!!" - Some wise dude
I liked it! Nice guy was actually a manipulative jerk. Girl was a bit superficial. It showed the more negative sides of humans. The male lead was obviously older than 25.
To misquote from a semi-famous TV show about high school: "You're a smart chicken. But even if the smartest chicken comes up against the dumbest Lion, it's 'instant chicken mcnuggets. You're just 'Apples and Oranges"
@theandykat: That leads to an interesting question. Let's say that you do that for a first date: hire actors and actresses to support a time travel story that you tell the Woman over dinner. What's the likely response (?) Chances are 99.9% . . . not good.
He told her he only went back twice before, but the board she uncovered revealed he had gone back many more times than that since there was a bunch of "kiss lines" crossed out.
That's the worst thing u can say to a Man... You're a nice guy. That's saying I wouldn't be your girlfriend if u were the last man in the solar system.
So the portable time machine box was empty, what does that mean? He still went somewhere in the big time machine, right? So what did she figure out? Where or when was he going at the end? I'm not so smart, apparently. Someone please help me understand this.
Looks like he just went back in time by only 2 hours to try the date over again. She got mad at him for lying about the portable time machine and how he said he only tried doing that date twice before, but the whiteboard she uncovered at the end showed how he had actually went back more than twice, as there were a lot of other "kiss lines" crossed out on the board.
Every one of those times he failed she went flying into my bed instead. Giggity giggity! He should go back further and make some real $$$. That's all she cared about anyway.
The thing is... Lol, he retried that night over and over again to win her over. However, it took revealing his time machine to even get her attention. See what did there.
Great plot and storyline. Suggestion, you might want to take a class in dialogue and speech progression. The lines are very choppy and really distract from the story. Less "telling" and more "showing". Nice cinematography.
Scott, Scott, Scott, when will you learn? Women! You can’t live with ‘em; you can’t live without ‘em... And it looks like you’ll be working the Game of Hope for a while longer. But look at it this way: when you get tired of the chase, you’re going to have one hell of a novel to sell. Keep the LV duds and you should have success on the book signing tour(s)... I’m telling you Scott, one of the most efficient ways to time travel and/or find true love is through a good book. Meanwhile, it’s your good fortune that Mr. Chen got you launched on your true path. Drop back sometime, OK?
He went back in time because he thought he messed something up with the line (since she just kept saying "You're a nice guy") and that board showed how he went back multiple times instead of just the 2 he said he tried
Four minutes in, and so far it's basically a variation on Groundhog Day. I'll give it a chance though. UPDATE: Yeah, like Groundhog Day (except by choice)--but what they did with it was different and very fun! Well done.
This is exact to most women's attitude when things are too good and/or they think you are making things up except for one thing: he was manipulating, which means in reality she would have believed anything he said as almost everybody does when people lie and manipulate.

"You are not a science experiment, you are work of art". The best most beautiful thing he said all day long to her...

Plot twist, female lead is the missing 6th Spice Girl, Temporal Spice. Also, the waitress is the best actor in this short.
You can place that joke using bone thugs and harmony .
How is that a plot twist?

Well said (1 year ago). I feel like I'm time traveling.
I cried gitty gitty

Enjoyed this. Both leads where spot on.
Felt for the ‘crocs and socks’ guy and the Bond girls accent was perfect.

Ah thanks man
Dude you just explained every time travel story ever including this one
I loved it..The Simp and the Princess finally get together.
Guy bails out, very smart move..
Yeah I love it brilliant 😀😊
Hilarious! Very well done.
Can I give it two thumbs up? Outstanding story Mr. Chen. Ms. Gobel's performance was also an unexpected delight.
I am left wanting more. Perfect!
very well done, Rachel Gobel is perfect.
Perfect Sci - Fi short .

why there are so many miserable single women in there late 30s/40s
Very good concept. Funny too. Poor match for him though. His heart is leading him astray Lol. Mr. Nice guy, get a science gal instead.
At this point it's not about the girl anymore, it's about solving the equation.
@R X Conrad: Yes, you notice how these time-travel stories always require that the first person you reveal the time-traveling to . . . is not a nerdy Trekkie (?).
Excellent time travel opportunity film Vincent Chen. I was right in there start to finish. Great.
Wow the lighting is brilliant on first impression
nice and refreshing. So human.
Sometimes I imagine that I had a device to travel to time
Haha. That was great. 👏👏👏
Now that was enteetaining. Really Good
After he discovers the time machine he becomes a cool guy
Si muy groovy, "Yes men prefer blondes, But women prefer money and any man with or without hair." Ok one thing, the ice cubes in the drink were like MORE COWBELL. I liked this short film, well laid out theme, acting and goofy. Well done Marty McFly.

great job!
Smooth. LOL. This was really good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent!
Damm haven't heard that song since fallout!! Sweet
A very entertaining little movie with a great storyline. Thankyou.
Good stuff!
Excellent loved it great job
Well Done! 💯
Ha ha! Highly enjoyable
Short and sweet.
I love these characters

Really well done ✅✅✅
me encanto un saludo desde Perù
things more interesting when you start shooting outside.. good film!
What a great song from the 40's
That was funny!
2:28 "Shinjuku Golden Machi" Hey, my Japanese lessons are starting to pay off!!! :D
Too funny!
Funny!!!
The first rule of time travel - don't mess with a woman!
You forgot the second, third, fourth and fifth rule of time travel - don't mess with a woman! Lol!
Cute Movie!
Do overs are nice!!
Unfortunately we don't get them in life!!!☕🤔☺
Very cool.
Yep. I like it.
so good
Amazed
Remember to see the easter egg
Lesson: Don't be Scott. Be the a**hole. Scotty doesn't know.
Hahaha Nice And Twisted Ending One Thing is Sure He Will Try It Again and Again 🤣🌈👌
this was shot beautifully and all the actors were great! the end got me! so that means he was manipulating her the whole time? and he had been for at least as many lines were crossed out on the board?
A+ :)
11:15
Haaaaaaaa
He’s still figuring it out
Loved this. Manipulator to the max
Sad part is, after a gazillion tries, he finally managed to get her in bed. She got pregnant, sued him for support, and got everything he's got, including his time machine, so he could not go back and fix his biggest mistake. "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!!" - Some wise dude
2 things unbeatable: The wall and The Red Pill.
I liked it! Nice guy was actually a manipulative jerk. Girl was a bit superficial. It showed the more negative sides of humans. The male lead was obviously older than 25.
Yep, that's life!
well said glenn
Get her Scotty 🤣🤣
wow, perry Cuomo always does this to me. haha ha, Great act.

That would have ruined the night. That's what I call this
6:10 Scott has some good taste in music it seems
Fallout 4 yea
My first time watching this I was like bitch stop touching all my shite in my laboratory
I was expecting that he was faking the time machine, and that he did in fact hire actresses and actors as a twist ending.
@theandykat: That leads to an interesting question. Let's say that you do that for a first date: hire actors and actresses to support a time travel story that you tell the Woman over dinner. What's the likely response (?) Chances are 99.9% . . . not good.
Why was she so angry at the end is it because he actually saw her as a science experiment and didn't really like her ?
@@gemstar7286 I don’t understand the ending either.
8:17
He’s skipping straight to the end part where he “learns a lesson”
Don't know why she got so mad at the end, millions in historical art/artifacts for the taking all around her.
Except when tested they will be ruled as fakes since they won't be old enough.
He told her he only went back twice before, but the board she uncovered revealed he had gone back many more times than that since there was a bunch of "kiss lines" crossed out.
@@Eidolon1andOnly Thank you for explaining the ending.
That's the worst thing u can say to a Man... You're a nice guy. That's saying I wouldn't be your girlfriend if u were the last man in the solar system.
Just say, 'Thank you.' When she is freaked out. She is interested in him and he did not see the signs.
Nice movie... but some dialogues are difficult to catch for a non-native ! would it be possible to enable subtitles, at least in english ?
So the portable time machine box was empty, what does that mean? He still went somewhere in the big time machine, right? So what did she figure out? Where or when was he going at the end? I'm not so smart, apparently. Someone please help me understand this.

@@Eidolon1andOnly Thank you for explaining the end to me.
Just goes to show that some people are not worth going through time for
That guy bailed out of that situation like Stewie Griffin.⚡️⚡️⚡️
If he's so smooth, why not catch the cork instead of letting it hit her in the face still lol.
Could someone explain the ending?
@NSD - Cad Services - mail oh ok thanks
When she saw the bed she said "ew", she knew she would end up with him in that bed next time(s).
Every one of those times he failed she went flying into my bed instead. Giggity giggity! He should go back further and make some real $$$. That's all she cared about anyway.
If you change just one thing you could change everything.....
The thing is... Lol, he retried that night over and over again to win her over. However, it took revealing his time machine to even get her attention. See what did there.
Great plot and storyline. Suggestion, you might want to take a class in dialogue and speech progression. The lines are very choppy and really distract from the story. Less "telling" and more "showing". Nice cinematography.
Can anyone explain the ending? And I think the lady has good acting.
@Frank Pittsthanks. I thought so too but then I thought it might have triggered the man in him to give up

So, when did he go on the last jump? It didn't change her timeline.
An advice for short film-maker, always put english subtitles. I can't understand english only by speaking :(
Agree
I did not understand the ending, can someone explain?
He went back in time because he thought he messed something up with the line (since she just kept saying "You're a nice guy") and that board showed how he went back multiple times instead of just the 2 he said he tried
The broken thing is not a time machine or He has two Time machines.
There is more past the credits. So watch the credits and see the last part.

Four minutes in, and so far it's basically a variation on Groundhog Day.

writer must of never heard the old saying...no one named Scott can ever be respected as a REAL MAN..
*must've not "must of"
I thought it was pretty good.
Intentional Ground Hog Day..
Congrats Vincent. Nicely done. Do you have a Linkedin account?
No but I have a website. venturecapturevideo.com if your looking for video services. I'm stuck in Colombia right now though.
Time to cut bait. He should go after the waitress who is cuter.
It's more about solving the equation now than getting the girl.
I agree. This man of brilliance could have any woman they want, but always want the girl next door that See's them as a nice guy!
@@Vares65 Yeah, I see what you mean. But he's right, the waitress is unbelievable.
