5. EXT. ALLEY WAY-NIGHT

IAN22506 attempts to return home, but he discovers the way he came to this time cannot bring him back so he gives his friends in the future a wee ring.

IAN22506
Hello? Hello?! I need assistance I am trapped! I need you to bring me back to the future! My circuits are banjaxed!

PERSON ON THE PHONE
We cannot bring you back the time space continuum has been damaged; there is a rip in the fabric of time and space. We can only send things back not forward; we will send you help until we sow the tear in time and space with the time and space sewing kit.

IAN22506 stands back and a flash of lightning brings his futuristic friends into the past. IAN22506 then tells them of his experience in the past.

IAN22506
This time and place is a disaster, I am glad the future forgot the ways of the past! In this time they have something they call “the party” it is horrible it drains you of your robot goodness.
