Loretta: You know about
Multiverse Theory, right?
Like in science fiction?
Comic books?
(ticking)
Loretta: Accepting that an
infinite number of universes exist.
At least one of them will
be exactly like ours.
(ticking)
(ticking) Loretta:
More than one.
(ticking) An endless
number of identical worlds!
(ticking)
Well, almost identical.
(ticking) There
has to be!
(ticking) (echoing)Because
infinite is infinite.
(dramatic beat)
Loretta: Sideways 8.
(echoing)Coolest number of all!
(beeping) Now, contacting
an identical mirror universe,
impossible, right?
But if you're stupid
enough to try,
one thing's for sure,
there's another
you somewhere
trying the exact
same stupid thing
at the exact same time.
That's teamwork!
(electric static)
(electricity crackling)
Okay, I installed the
8K chip last night.
Oh.
8K installed.
(machine whirring)
Did you feel that?
Well I dunno,
something came through.
We checked the UPS
like 100 times.
The current's clean.
According to Science Digest,
if fish don't eat,
they die.
(slow paced music)
What are you doing?
(whizzing and rumbling)
Something's
coming through!
Yeah, a goldfish.
Particles, a recurring pattern!
Bullshit!
(Amy screams)
The water.
Particles in flux!
Gerry: Now you lost me.
Danny: Okay,
what's going on?
We're trying to reach an
identical universe, right?
So the more particles
that we have to match,
the more perfect the duplicate!
More water.
Bigger fishbowl?
No bigger, way bigger!
(atmospheric music)
Gerry: Guess I'm
designated driver again, huh?
Danny: Just get in
the car and lets go.

I need to see the entire lake.
There's a
lookout up ahead.
What a thrilling Saturday night.
Goddamn it's good to be young.
Hurry! We've got a perfect wind.

(slow paced music)
Danny: Dude, slow down!
Come on, you gotta burn some gas
to break through time and space.
(machine softly beeping)
Loretta: I'm
getting flares!
Ah, must be love.
Gerry: You
guys do realize
that the whole Multiverse
thing is just an idea, right?
It's a probability.
It's a mathematical certainty.
Gerry: It's a mind game.
(machine softly beeping)
Holy crap!
Did you guys see that?
- Yeah!
- Wow!
(car accelerating)
Too fast!
Sorry Amy!
You can't slow down
the wheels of progress!

Jesus! (Tires screeching)

You almost got us
fucking killed!
Hope they're okay.

right, you ready?
You tell me?
Let's do this.
(machine softly beeping)
Gerry: This is awesome.
Danny: Give me a break.
Gerry: I've got a complete
emotional response set here.
We got excitement,
sadness,
boredom, libido, the whole deal.
I mean, it's like a little
window into your brain.
I didn't know you found
grilled cheese so erotic.
(Danny scoffs)
Hey man, who doesn't?
Hey, stay focused.
Danny: What
the fuck dude?
I'm sorry, sorry.
I needed that for calibration.
- Hey, don't touch him.
- No, no, no.
(machine softly beeping)
(machine beats rapidly)
Danny: Fuck you dude!
I'm done with this shit!
Hey, we agreed to this!
Full emotional spectrum!
We talked about this!
Listen, I know we agreed,
I just can't.
I'm late.

Amy's Phone: That
was not cool.
You don't think he
thinks about it?
Like every day?
Amy's Phone: He's
trying not to.
He says he's fine.
Interesting. (Machine pulsating)
That exact moment
when you touched him?
Look.
(machine pulsating)
Are you two like
a thing?
Seriously?
For how long?
Amy's Phone:
I don't know what we are.
Just so you know,
it's okay.
I mean, he's a really nice
guy and you're awesome.
And there's nothing that
says losing a girlfriend
or a best friend means

Gerry: I'm so bored.
We used to go way out there.
I mean, quantum entanglement
for Christ's sake.
Yeah, I think we all
remember those days.
We were pushing the envelope.
Why the fuck did we stop?
I think it has something to do
with the fact that
my girlfriend died.
Look,
that was her thing, okay?
Massive particle observation.
It was her idea and
her experiment.
Now she's gone.
We're doing
something else.
It's that simple.
What?
How about we just go back
and we look at Loretta's notes
and we just run
with her ideas.
It's what she
would've wanted.
I'm not going there again.
Gerry: But we
just take it slow!
I mean, there's so
much work being done
on the math side of things
that would completely
Um, sorry, it's just
This girl, she just looked
exactly like Loretta.
- Over there?
- Well she just left.
Danny!
I just said that she
looked like her, I didn't
Danny: You didn't have to
stay 'til the end of my shift.
Thanks.
I would have been okay.
What about your Mom?
But what if we wake her?
Right.
Danny!
I know.
Or maybe it was.
Or maybe it wasn't.
It doesn't matter now anyway.
I don't know.
(soft ambient music)
Danny: I saw
this girl today.
Looked exactly like her.
And then Gerry saw her.
I know.
I know.
It's just a weird day.
I'm sorry.
No!
No, of course not.
Where did that come from?
No, I like you the
way that you are.
I mean, you wouldn't be you.
Danny: I don't know.
But you'd be different.
And I like the you that you are.

he didn't come

at it's regular time,

I never, ever thought that
I'd have to worry about you!
What, you don't have
anything to say?
Not a goddamn
fucking word?

What about you?
Say something!
What do you mean, dead?
Like dead dead.
Like gone from this world dead.
What's funny about this?
So you don't
remember that night?
At the lookout?
Stop it! Yes, I
remember that night.
It was the scariest
night of my life.
But I sure as shit didn't die!
Slow down.
So then where the hell have
you been the last five months?
Hm?
Why are you all
fucking with my head!
I see you guys, like, every day!
So you're not saying that
you wandered off somewhere
or had amnesia or started
a new life, no, no.
What you're saying
is that nothing
has changed?
Everything is normal and
you've been coming to school
and hanging out with us,
just like before?
Why are you doing this?
And why won't you talk to me?
Why are you signing?
You're supposed to
be my best friend.
Danny: Loretta, you know
she can't understand you
unless you face her.
What?
That's just stupid!
Stop it!
(tense music)
♪
(suspenseful music)
Oh fuck.
It worked!
(echoing) Accepting
that an infinite number
of universes exist,
at least one of them
will be exactly
like ours.
Because infinite
is infinite.
Sideways eight.
Coolest number of all.
So let me get this straight.
You think you got sucked
out of a parallel universe,
into ours?
Oh, is that so impossible?
Gerry: Yeah, I'm
pretty sure it is!
Look, the machine was programmed
to look for the closest match.
That's why we brought
the gear to the lake,
to observe as much
water in a single view.
The maximum identical
particles observable.
Observe a particle,
affect its twin!
Entanglement.
Spooky action at a distance.
Loretta: Right!
And the whole point was to find
as identical a
match as possible.
So yeah, I'm part of that match.
And so are all of you.
Or versions of you, on my side.
Twins.
Affected!
We were just screwing around!
It was never supposed to work!
I was barely paying
attention half the time!
We were bored
and fearless!
It was still ridiculous!
But what if we stayed
bored and fearless.
What if we kept trying?
Danny: But we didn't.
We quit.
You didn't, but we did!
On my side, in my universe,
where I didn't die!
We kept trying!
All of us!
We got better chips,
higher resolution,
more observed
particle collisions,
higher match rate.
Assuming that there's a transfer
of energy in spooky action,
what if the observer can
get sucked along for the ride?
Arthur, poor little guy,
was just swimming
in the crosshairs,
and then suddenly,
poof, he's gone!
And you guys got a new fish!
Thank you for that!
Loretta: I didn't know
what had happened,
so I just kept repeating
the same steps all night
and nothing worked.
But I crossed over!
And I didn't even know it.
I didn't even feel it.
I just walked away
from the machine,
I thought maybe I'd broken it.
But I was already here!
This is fucking crazy!
Loretta: If I'm
supposed to be dead,
than what's crazier
than me being here?
Alive!
What's she saying?
She's saying that multiple
universes are science fiction
and that you're a lunatic.
(whispers) Sorry.
Loretta: There's
also this.
What's that about?
Loretta: Six weeks
ago, Saturday night,
got this inked.
Danny: Why?
I was drunk, we all were.
We all got the
same tattoo.
Amy's Phone:
No we didn't.
Okay, you didn't, but we did.
Or I'm just crazy and
I've been walking around
in a dream for the
last five months.

Look Amy,
I'm gonna drive her home.
And I'm gonna go
back to my room.
I'm sorry.
I'm just kind of
messed up right now.
Maybe.
But she's here.
And that's real.
(Amy gasps)
(solemn music)
Danny: So where
do you live?
I guess you don't really
have a place anymore.
Yeah.
That kinda
crossed my mind.
Well where did you
stay last night?
Your place.
I waited for you all
night in your room.
You never came home.
Your number didn't work.
It was a pretty shitty night.
Yeah, I changed my
number three months ago.
Look...
I'm sorry, but us being
in your car together,
maybe it's weird for you,
you know, probably fucking
with your head big time.
But for me, it's totally normal.
It's what we've been
doing since high school.
I kept going with this
for the last five months.
With you.
So you need a place to stay?
Fine.
But I'm sleeping on
the floor, okay?
Okay.
Deal.
(balls clanging)
You think she's right?
Danny: Who?
Amy.
I mean, it's possible, right?
That I got hit
on the head.
Wandered around in
some crazy dream.
Got a tattoo and then
somehow drifted back home.
Am I crazy?
Did I just go crazy?
You're one of the
sanest people I know.
Well, I'm either insane or
something insane has happened.
Some nice set of choices.
Well, whatever it is
that's happening,
it's exhausting.
I can barely stand up.
We can share the bed.
It doesn't have to be
I guess that's
not a great idea.
Danny: Yeah, I think
it falls pretty squarely
in the bad-idea column.
Sorry, yesterday it
fell in the normal column.

Thanks.

Can I ask?
Danny: Can you

Hi.
I'd like to talk.
In case you're wondering,

figure out how to
be a person again.
Look,
this kind of thing
isn't exactly normal.
You know, it's-it's hard to
tell what's right or wrong.
But I really care about Danny
and I really care about you.
And Danny,

keys to this pleasure suite?
Gerry: Well my Dad thought
it would build character

Apprentice Janitor.
How long did that last,
like 10 minutes?
About seven.
But it did give me access
to these on-campus perks.
This is where I come to think.
Danny: Since when.
Gerry: Since I
copied the key.
So what am I doing here?
Gerry: What, don't
you like to think?
Ugh.
Dude, what is this?
Gerry: Thinking juice.
The expensive kind.
Do you believe in the contagion
of mass hallucination?
Meaning?
A group of people who think
they saw something impossible,
but they actually saw
the exact same thing?
You're talking about Loretta?
Gerry: Danny, what else
would we be talking about?
I mean, she's kinda the
hot topic of the month, right?
Well, I don't think
Loretta's a mass hallucination.
Good, because she isn't.
Now, do you believe
that she got sucked
out of an alternate
universe into this one?
Or do you believe that she
disappeared for five months
and went fucking insane?
No, Loretta is not
the gone-insane type.
So then you trust her?
Yeah, I guess do.
And you trust me too, right?
Danny: Most of the time.
You're gonna want another hit.
(flask clanging)
You've been dropping a
lot of things lately?
Danny: Maybe a little.
Muscular weakness?
I don't know, why?
Well you saw what happened
to the other fish, right?
Yeah, but that's a
delicate creature, dude.
Just because crossing
over killed a fish,
doesn't necessarily
mean Loretta's at risk.
But what makes you so sure that
it was the new fish that died?
I guess I'm not.
Let me show you something.
Danny: Wait, are you
Gerry: You were with me.
We read through Loretta's logs,
pressed all the buttons
and then all of a sudden
poof.
Here we are!
We didn't even
feel it happen.
I blinked and we were
here in this world,
in this identical world
where there are two
versions of each of us.
There's another one of me
and there is another one of you.
Well not exactly like you.
(ominous music)
Dude, I think I'm drunk.
Gerry: Whatever
Loretta did,
she opened up some
kind of tunnel.
Except it's only one-way.
See, there's no working
machine on this side
to bring us back.
So you're stuck here?
Gerry: It gets worse.
See, this is what
I've figured out,
a universe can't sustain
two identical versions
of the same mass.
It defies like a million
different physical laws.
That's why you've been
feeling like shit.
That's why the
other fish died.
It doesn't matter
which version fails,
but one version of each
version has to go.
Call it a correction.
But it's how space,
time heals itself.
Except Loretta, she
doesn't have that problem
because her version
already died.

Gerry: Now,
I want you to know,
that despite how you're
feeling right now,
and despite how

gonna be fine.

Holy fuck!
Feel pretty good?
Pretty strong?
How the fuck did
you just do that?
Oh, you don't know yet, do you?
No dude, I don't know why
you're being so weird today.
Remember, all we have in
this world is each other.
You better tell me exactly
what the fuck is going on
before I kick your
ass out of my car.
I think you'd better
fasten your seat belt, pal.
Are you insane?
Gerry: Regarding
which part?
All of it!
You just left the
other me in there!
What, do you think that's
a fucking magic trick?
Danny: So you
expect me to believe
that somehow Amy
is not our Amy?
And, and that
Loretta died!
Except not our Loretta?

Okay, I know you
felt that too.
The weakness,
the shakiness.
Like something
was very wrong.
Dude, I feel fine.
That's because I did that!
I made you unique

That's one major solid I

What is this about?
Now it's your turn.
I've done my part!

None of this is real!

The scene was
highly emotional
as her untimely death
shocked the community
and robbed the world of a
remarkable science prodigy
beloved by so many.
Police have yet to
reveal the identities
of the passengers
in the vehicle
whose cliff fall dragged
Miss Vance to her death.
While the fuel
tank explosion
is known to have consumed the
victims beyond recognition,
police remain puzzledthat
no missing persons reports
were filed
then nor since.
On the night of
the fatality,
Loretta's friends
reported a near collision
with the exploded
automobile
just prior to it's rolling
off the edge of the lookout.
Loretta's boyfriend,
Daniel Lewis,
expressed his personal
devastation in a brief
but heart-wrenching
eulogy.
Danny: Nobody was
as scared as Loretta.
Nobody as smart.
There will never
be another Loretta
because there can't be.
This isn't something
I'll get over
'cause nothing can make
this life right again.
Not for me.

Bill Gates?
No, fuck Bill Gates!
I'm talking about the original

They built their fortunes
using natural resources!
Water.
The most abundant
resource on the planet,
but nobody's figured out
how to actually use it
to do something
truly extraordinary!
We did.
Every lake, every river,
every ocean.
Enough particle flux
to jump universes!
We didn't even know
it had happened.
Forget about how.
Gerry: No, we'll
figure out how
because we were asking
the right questions.
And you were a contributing
factor in that!
Contributing factor?
It was my idea.
You guys quit.

Yeah.

No! Our Danny!
He's gone!
It's just me!
What?
How did that happen?
You really wanna know?
You killed him.
And you didn't even
shed a tear about it.
You saw him as a problem
and you took care of it.
No, no, I don't-I
don't believe you.

Twins.

Danny: So where

I guess you don't really

Yeah.
That kinda

Well where did you
stay last night?
Your place.
I waited for you all
night in your room.
You never came home.
Your number didn't work.
It was a pretty shitty night.
Yeah, I changed my
number three months ago.
Look...
I'm sorry, but us being
in your car together,
maybe it's weird for you,
you know, probably fucking
with your head big time.
But for me, it's totally normal.
It's what we've been
doing since high school.
I kept going with this

With you.
So you need a place to stay?
Fine.
But I'm sleeping on
the floor, okay?
Okay.
Deal.
(balls clanging)
You think she's right?
Danny: Who?
Amy.
I mean, it's possible, right?
That I got hit
on the head.
Wandered around in
some crazy dream.
Got a tattoo and then
somehow drifted back home.
Am I crazy?
Did I just go crazy?
You're one of the
sanest people I know.
Well, I'm either insane or
something insane has happened.
Some nice set of choices.
Well, whatever it is
that's happening,
it's exhausting.
I can barely stand up.
We can share the bed.
It doesn't have to be
I guess that's
not a great idea.
Danny: Yeah, I think
it falls pretty squarely
in the bad-idea column.
Sorry, yesterday it
fell in the normal column.
Here.
Thanks.
You and Amy
Can I ask?
Danny: Can you
ask tomorrow?
Okay.

Well, I don't think
Loretta's a mass hallucination.
Good, because she isn't.
Now, do you believe
that she got sucked
out of an alternate
universe into this one?

disappeared for five months

No, Loretta is not

Yeah, I guess do.

Danny: Maybe a little.
Muscular weakness?
I don't know, why?
Well you saw what happened
to the other fish, right?
Yeah, but that's a
delicate creature, dude.
Just because crossing
over killed a fish,
doesn't necessarily
mean Loretta's at risk.
But what makes you so sure that
it was the new fish that died?
I guess I'm not.
Let me show you something.
Danny: Wait, are you
Gerry: You were with me.
We read through Loretta's logs,
pressed all the buttons
and then all of a sudden
poof.
Here we are!
We didn't even
feel it happen.
I blinked and we were
here in this world,
in this identical world
where there are two
versions of each of us.
There's another one of me
and there is another one of you.
Well not exactly like you.
(ominous music)
Dude, I think I'm drunk.
Gerry: Whatever
Loretta did,
she opened up some
kind of tunnel.
Except it's only one-way.
See, there's no working
machine on this side
to bring us back.
So you're stuck here?
Gerry: It gets worse.
See, this is what
I've figured out,
a universe can't sustain
two identical versions
of the same mass.
It defies like a million
different physical laws.
That's why you've been
feeling like shit.
That's why the
other fish died.

version has to go.

Loretta: You know about
Multiverse Theory, right?
(clocks ticking) Accepting that an
infinite number of universes exist.
(clocks ticking) At least one of
them will be exactly like ours.
(clocks ticking)
More than one.
(clocks ticking) An endless
number of identical worlds.
(clocks ticking)
Well, almost identical.
(clocks ticking)
There has to be.
(echoing) Because
infinite,
is infinite.
Sideways eight.
Coolest number of all.
(clocks ticking loudly)
(tense music)
Did you feel that?
What?
Well I don't know,
something came through.
According to "Science Digest"
if fish don't
eat, they die.
(slow paced music)
What are you doing?
Something's
coming through!
(Amy screams) (machine buzzing)
The water.
Particles in flux!
Hey, lemme see.
More water.
Bigger fishbowl?
No bigger, way bigger!

Gerry: I guess I'm

the car and let's go.
