One More Minute

1 [narrator.]
The Curious.
They say he collects strange tales, and if you ever hear his whistle, you know something creepy is about to unfold.
The clock goes slow when you're bored, and time flies when you're having fun.
Does that mean we have the power to control time speed it up and slow it down merely by what we choose to do? [theme music playing.]
- [sighs.]
- We're all gonna die.
Nah, we got this.
You are so gonna die.
Rich, the Hearthstone! Die, Orc scum! - Carlos, incoming! - Agh! - Use the elixir, Jack! - [Jack.]
Not yet.

Lights out in two minutes.
I will be checking.
Yes, Mother.
Hey.
Night, son.
"Midnight special," or do I have to find a random? I gotta clean my terrarium.
- Track practice early.
Peace! - [camera beeps.]
- See ya! - [camera beeps.]
[sighs.]
Anyone out there up for duos? [electronic voice.]
An ally approaches.

Destroyed.
You're the Paladin, right? [The Paladin.]
At your service.
- Are you ever not on? - [The Paladin.]
This is why I win.
We'll see about that.

"What's the difference between you and this calendar"? [laughs.]
The calendar has dates! [sighs.]
Okay, come on, get up.
Mom says you're late.

- Oh! You do realize you're not making any difference? Shut up.
'Sup, Carrie? Tsk.
Uh, shirt's inside out, Jack.
I got a joke for you.
What's the difference between you and me? A calendar has dates.
That's sorry, I got it wrong.
You're the calendar and I'm supposed to Anyways Um, I'm having a party Sunday.
6:00 to 10:00, if you can make it.

Sure.
Why not? [laughs.]

I don't know them.

So, how was it? Jack? What? How was it? [brother.]
The party? No.
No, no, no, no, no! - What? - Aiden, get out.
[sighs.]
[phone pings.]
- Go! - Okay! [sighs.]
[alarm clock ringing.]
[sighing.]
[sighs.]
So, you missed a fun party.
Uh, yeah.
Sorry, I I got distracted.
You could have texted.
Yeah.
I got stuck in the bathroom all night.
Blagh-hh! Well, that's pretty gross, Jack, but, uh thanks for clearing that up.
[Carrie exhales.]
Now you're better.
Carlos says you guys play Kingdom of Teven.
Can I join? I just downloaded it.
Uh, yeah! Yeah, sure! Awesome.
8:00? Perfect.
[beeping.]
- [electronic voice.]
You are defeated! - [sighs.]
Ugh.
Uh, that's your opinion.
No, no, no, you really are.
You're dead.
Don't worry, Jack sucked when he started.
- Never this much.
- Hey! I'm a noob.
You're good at dying, though.
[both chuckle.]
- [Carrie's mom.]
Carrie, you ready? - I gotta go.
My mom wants me to read my baby brother a story.
But next time I play, I'm gonna be a pro.
- See ya.
- See ya! - Bye, Carrie! - Ooh, bye, Carrie! - [Rich mimics kissing sound.]
- [laughs.]
[sighs.]
Still here.
Oh.
- [Carrie's line beeps.]
- [all laugh.]
- Thanks for that.
- You should thank us! We just salvaged your all-night bathroom session after all.
Okay, now that she's gone, let's play the proper way.
Alpha mode.
You're not done? We've been doing this for hours.
- Yeah, I gotta go.
- [Rich's mom.]
Come on, honey! Mom's calling.
[line beeps.]
- Guys.
- See ya, Jack.
[beeps.]
[sighs.]
[game music playing.]
[electronic voice.]
An ally approaches! Hey, wanna take a run at the Minotaur? I got ten minutes.
[The Paladin.]
Uh, I should really do my trig homework.
- Come on, what's ten minutes? - Mmm.
[The Paladin.]
You speak the truth! [game beeping.]
- [ticking.]
- [sword ringing.]
[ticking continues.]
[mother.]
Jack? Jack! This is the third time this week! - What? - [finger snaps.]
Kitchen, now! And don't wake your brother.
[sighs.]
[The Paladin.]
You get busted again? It's February 6th, right? [The Paladin.]
Right day, wrong month.
It can't be a month.
Is it really March? What? - Did something happen to me? - I don't know, Jack.
You tell me.
The last few weeks, it's like you're a different person.
Your grades are down.
You're certainly not doing your chores.
I mean, you come home from school and you just disappear into your room.
You tell me what's going on.
Honey, if something is happening, you can talk to me.
I'm not gonna be mad, I promise.
[inhales.]
If it really is March 6th, I have no memory of the last month.
At all.
It's like it maybe happened before, just for a few hours.
Time passed, but I wasn't really there.
Seriously! - I think I'm sick.
- Right.
Except we went to the doctor two days ago! Do you remember that? You got a clean bill of health after missing skipping ten days of school because you weren't feeling well.
And now this, I ugh! I'm telling the truth, I swear! [Aiden.]
Oh, guys? Is everything okay? Don't look surprised, Jack.
[school bell ringing.]
[laughing.]
Hey.
What's going on? Uh I'm gonna go.
So, you suddenly care now? - When did I not care? - When have you been around? You're barely at school and barely here when you are.
It's like you're on autopilot.
What's going on with you? Okay.
I don't have any memory from the last month.
I remember missing the party, playing Teven the next night, and then nothing.
So, your excuse is amnesia? Wow.
Look.
If you're gonna be weird, forget it.
Maybe I'm being weird because my best friend is holding hands with the girl I like? You said you didn't care! And if you did, then why'd you tell her to stop playing with us? And why'd you bail on my party? We all know you weren't sick.
[school bell ringing.]
Wait.
[Jack sighs.]
I don't know what's been going on with me.
I'm fine now.
I'm sorry.
I just want things to be back to normal.
So, Teven tonight? Yeah, yeah, sure.
[sighs.]
Oh! Hey, guys.
- Hey.
- Uh Tacos? What's the catch? Just haven't been myself lately.
Wanted to make it up to you guys.
- [chuckles.]
- Okay.
Mmm! You made this? [Aiden.]
I never knew you were a good cook.
[sword ringing.]
[controls clicking.]
[game rumbling, whistling.]
Mmm Sword of Sorensen Aid! - In the face! - Ooh, brutal! - Now, incant! - [game whirring, beeping.]
[rumbling, crashing.]
Ooh, let's go! He's better than you, bro! Less whiny, too.
What? They say you're better than me.
Ahem! Okay, boys.
Let's shut it down.
Say good night to the guys for me.
Good night from my mom.
- [Rich.]
Night, Claire! - [Carlos.]
Good night, Mrs.
Jack! Night! I hate you guys.
Good to have you back.
[lines beeping.]
[sighs.]
- I gotta get to page 60.
- What? - That okay? - That's great.
Night.
[sighs.]
[ticking.]
[ticking continues.]
[ticking slowly.]
[clocks ticking.]
[ticking continues.]
[monitor beeps.]
[electronic voice.]
An ally approaches.
- [The Paladin.]
Thought you were ditching.
- Sorry, man.
I had to hit the books.
Wanna do a quick battle? Just to knock myself out.
[The Paladin.]
Always, dude! - [beeping.]
- [electronic voice.]
Your quest begins.
[swords swishing.]
[thunder rumbles.]
[electronic voice.]
You have completed - Kingdom of Teven! - [The Paladin.]
Yes, yes! We did it, Jack! We did it! Every objective! Every trophy! Every update! Every version! - Took five years, but we did it, dude! - [panting.]
Five years? [gasps.]
Jack? Who? Aiden? - Is that you? - No, it's the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Any bells you need rung? C'mon, Mom says you're late.
[gasps.]
[country music playing.]
[Aiden.]
Bob, what's our rule? I couldn't resist! I mean right? Mom? Hmm? [gasps.]
Who are you? Good one, Jack.
Look, I know that you and I don't gel, okay, bud? But, um but it would really mean a lot to your mom if you just just give it your best shot today, okay? [Claire.]
Okay, Jack.
I really want you to take this seriously today, okay? What's today? Ha! That's not funny.
That's really not funny.
- [Claire.]
Okay.
Bye, honey! - [Bob.]
Bye! [door opens.]
- [Jack.]
Five years.
- [door closes.]
Five years.
Aiden, wait! [panting.]
- We need to talk.
- What? Okay, what if I told you I was in a dream? Or a simulation? I don't know, I'd been abducted by aliens or something? I'd say get to the point.
It's like I've been transported five years into the future.
And even though you remember everything, I don't.
None of it.
In my head, I'm in grade nine.
You're 11.
We still live in our house on Poplar and there's no Bob.
What would you say to that? I'd say that's the most you've said to me in years.
- Oh, and you're insane.
- [sighs.]
Listen to me! [sighs.]
Am I a bad brother? You go to school.
You come home.
You play with that Paladin kid.
Rinse.
Repeat.
You're not a bad brother, Jack.
I just don't know you.
But if you actually are losing your mind, we should, like, see somebody, though.
[chuckles.]
[school bell ringing.]
Carlos? Yes? Can I help you? You got big.
Are we still friends? Oh, you mean after you started ignoring me? - Rich, too, I suppose? - Rich? He moved away years ago.
Okay, is this a is this a joke? All right, forget it.
See you 'round, Jack.
[teacher.]
There you are, Jack.
Come on.
Jack? And begin.
I don't know how to do these.
Disruption means disqualification.
This is all wrong.
- Something's happening to me.
- Please be quiet.
I'm not supposed to be here.
You have to believe me, I'm still in grade nine! - You have to believe me.
- This is your last chance.
This isn't real.
It can't be real.
How do I go back? Please, take me back.
Take me back! [teacher.]
Jack! [sighs.]
- I'm sorry.
- I know, baby.
[sighs.]
[knocks on door.]
Heard you had quite a day.
I remembered something from the old house.
You and Mom fighting in the kitchen.
You saying you'd lost your memory.
Is it true? [sighs.]
I believe you.
Okay? We can figure this out.
So, let's grab a slice and talk about it.
My treat if you drive.
- I can drive? - [laughs.]
Sure can.
Grab your keys.
That is, if you can resist its lure, of course.
What's lure? Right, massive memory loss.
A new update, Kingdom Of Teven, dropped today.
[The Paladin.]
And the last horse crosses the finish line.
Who are you? [The Paladin.]
Really? C'mon dude, you know.
I'm you.
No.
[The Paladin.]
No? How do you think I was always around whenever you were bored? Whenever you needed an escape? Whenever things got a little "too real"? Like it is now.
I don't belong here.
[The Paladin.]
Wanna take your mind off it? The new update's supposed to be a whole new realm.
You can stay here, - in a world where you're outcast - [TV beeps.]
or we can go back to where we belong.
There we go.
We'll just play for a bit.
You ready? Jack? Jack? [Aiden.]
You have a choice.
[The Paladin.]
Just for one more minute.
[narrator.]
It's all fun and games until someone loses half their life.
How many "one mores" is too many? The cold, hard truth is you only find out once you pass the point of no return.
