GUY 1: Hey. I got an idea for a movie.
GUY 2: OK.
GUY 1: It’s about a kid. He’s eleven years old, but he’s not really eleven.
GUY 2: Okay.
GUY 1: The point is he went back in time to save his father.

GUY 2: Playing a Scratch-Off ticket from the Maryland Lottery. This is a Scratchelor ticket, and I have a
Scratchelorette ticket. I can win up to $10,000.
GUY 1: How do you win $10,000 with that?
GUY 2: You scratch the dates and if you match them up, you could win up to $10,000. You could win up to ten times on one ticket.

GUY 1: Can you just be positive just for a second?
GUY 2: I’m just going to keep scratching here, but you go ahead with your tremendously brilliant idea. Oh, here’s a trailer – in a world of magical scratchness Maryland Lottery - let yourself play! Eh? Yeah okay.
