Fade in. Transitional music is acoustic version of Anaise! by Smashing Pumpkins.
Shot is of Tyler and James standing back to back. We can only see their heads. The background is black. They are each wearing a blind fold. Sweat and hazy mist is in the air. A man is heard laughing in the background - Allen Musk - the antagonist. As the shot zooms out, we see that Tyler and James are in a secret, under ground laboratory. A bunch of scientific posters, scribbles on chalkboards, and various human anatomical busts are strewed across the room. Some of the writings/posters include: 2+2 = 4...or does it? Science Wins Again. X+Y=Z. CLi+PeNiS=O2 Fundamental algorithm
Tyler and James (in unison) - you will never get away with this Allen! We won't allow it!
Allen (sarcastically) - ohhh sure you will! What are you going to do about it! In just a few minutes, the entire world's power grid will cease - just like a child running out into traffic and getting hit by a drunk driver! hahaha
Tyler (yelling and on the verge of tears)- That is where you are wrong Allen Musk!
James (Continuing) - Science got us into this mess...and Science will get us out!
Allen - I HIGHLY doubt that. You are all tied up and blind folded, while I am standing way over hear - without any bodily restrictions and fully, visually-abled.
James (whispering as Allen laughs over the two of them) - he got us on that one...
Tyler (whispering back, Allen continues laughing) - think again, brother...let's use our collective IQ of 700 and solve this physical riddle...remember, I don't like saying the word challenge...
James (whispering, Allen still laughing) - I know, I know...because it sounds smarter to say "physical riddle." I got it. But I still have no idea how we are going to....wait a nanosecond, which is much shorter than a regular non-nano second...these ropes are made of...
Tyler (continuing James' thought) - a nylon-silk-polyester- with just a bit of rayon hybrid!
James (perking up, Allen still laughing) - all of those chemicals, ie fibers, are useless when exposed to dimoniumplutonium, ie. highly corrosive acids!
Tyler (continue James' though) first synthesized in 1888, it was originally used as a tooth cleanser - but people were dying as soon as it touched their soft pallet!
James (continuing Tyler's thought) because it would seep into their blood stream and block their arteries! It was later adapted to being used in batteries!
Tyler - We are in a battery factory James! All we need to do is grab one of those batteries, crack it open, and pour it over our ropes - and as easy as quantifying all of the possible sub root numbers between 1 and 25, we will be free!
Screen fades into a science lab. Close ups of hands twirling beakers and test tubes with a variety of different colored liquids. Hands going into thick rubber, black gloves. Machinery beeping. Computers flashing. Hands typing on keyboards. There is a general sense of easiness in the air.
Two twin brothers, James and Tyler Price, are working in their home laboratory. James sits on the left and is typing into his computer. Tyler, on the right, is looking into an Erlenmeyer flask that is bubbling a bit and writing onto a clipboard. They are quizzing each other in a fast back and forth manner.
James- ...do you realize how vapid you sound?
Tyler- (chuckling)- Vapid?
James- yes, vapid. A quark does not have enough theoretical charge to be used in any sort of long-term storage solution. It just doesn't.
Tyler- I disagree. And I am quoting Professor Luscious Raymo...
James- (cutting him off)- No, no, no, not him again.
Tyler- (Starting up again, a bit louder)- Professor Luscious Raymond Jackson states in his book- "Quantum Mechanics and Quark Energy Potential- Volume 3" on page 871, he states that a quark has static fulton particle decay that potentially has the ability to be stored.
James- Potential?!? Its all potential!
Tyler- (chuckling)- everything in this world starts with potential.
Tyler and James stop with there work and turn to face each other a bit. We can see that they are identical twins. With the identical hair cut, facial hair, and clothes. They are in a jovial, joking mood.
James- well then, I guess you could say that you only have a "potential" date with Pixie tonight. How is she doing by the way? Did she get my message?
Tyler- Hey- its a real date. 3 years actually. And yes, she did get your message. She says thanks. I can't believe you two have been together for 4 years as well. Where did you two end up going last night?
James- Coopers on 22.
Tyler- We are thinking of going there too. Hey... 2...2...too!
James- Its pretty nice. I had the all natural, organic, grass and wheat fed, farm-to-table 100% bison burger. Its a great blend of bison and beef with black pepper ground into the meat.
Tyler- Let me guess...Medium rare with a...
James and Tyler- (in unison,)- side of organic ketchup!
James and Tyler laugh together in a very twin way and high five.
Tyler- Hey, let me get your opinion on something that I have been working on.
Tyler removes a small black box from his lab coat he has hanging behind his chair. They both are also wearing lab coats, but they have back up lab coats hung on their chairs.
Tyler- Its a lab-grown diamond cut. I was working on it last night.
Tyler reveals a perfectly cut diamond.
James- Whoa! That looks incredible. What was your carbon source? What did you use as a stabilizer? What did you--
Tyler- (chuckling and cutting him off)- its all organic....with a few extra ingredients thrown in to really make it special.
James- Are you going to ask Pixie to...
Tyler- Yes!
James- Wow! That is like "red giant" dude!
Tyler- yeah...I just figured that you and her are so happy together. I want to share in that love too.
James- I am just happy for you man. And I know that you two will be like two molecules in a hydrophobic nucleolus.
Tyler- Thanks man! That means a lot.
James- This calls for a celebration! And I think I know exactly what to do!
Tyler- 3D chess?
James- ....theoretical 3d chess with NPR!
Tyler- Awesome- game theoretically on!
James and Tyler stand up and walk over to the other side of their shared lab/work space. We see the walls are filled with mechanical things. Tons of computers and active experiments going on.
They turn on their small transistor radio that is made out of a potato. The radio plays gently in the background as the brothers play their game.
NPR- ...and that concludes our 3 hour presentation of the Russian-Germanic ballet "Der Strudel Mizar." Coming up next we have a round table discussion with global weather scientists- Professors Barry and Melinda Honk and they will discuss the recent uptick in plate tectonic activity in the north Pacific ocean.
The two brothers are sitting at a table, just looking at each other as they play their game. There is no board in theoretical 3d chess.
James- ...FQueen to Pawn C7B
Tyler-...CPawn to Knight J19
James-....JKnight to KingD114
Tyler...CBishop to MKingR23
James...KPawn to....(James stops for a second and looks up at Tyler.) You know Tyler, we are pretty smart.
Tyler-...I know Brother James. And to think, we just got home from battling those two storms--the tornado and the earthquake.
James- we saved the day and both Des Moines and Kentucky are safe from disaster.
Tyler- Don't forget, we also took down that mentally-imbalanced Allan Musk.
James- No more batteries for him!
James and Tyler Price, twin brothers, start laughing.
Tyler- You are certainly right, James Price...my twin brother.
James- We will always be twin brothers.
Tyler- (Turning up the radio,)- I am going to turn up the radio now.
NPR- (Professors Barry Honk continuing to talk about plate tectonics)...and so you can tell by our projections that if something isn't done to quell these Northern Pacific Ocean plate tectonic shifts, we could really see some major volcanic activity occurring all over the world--the results of which could become cataclysmic.)
James and Tyler Price- Are you thinking what I am thinking?!?!
Cut to black.
