Tree Gelbman
- Tree Gelbman: [to Ryan] Now you're stuck in this day. Congrats. Oh, and by the way? You're going to die. Again... and again... and again.
- Ryan Phan: [cringes] Carter, tell your girlfriend to stop trying to scare me.
- Carter Davis: Oh, she's not my girlfriend.
- [Tree gives Carter an offended look]
- Carter Davis: Well, wait, are you my girlfriend?
- [Tree remembers that from Carter's perspective, they know each other only for one day]
- Tree Gelbman: Kinda.
- [Tree goes to meet her parents. Before she approaches their table, she takes a long look at them, knowing it is the last time she is going to see her beloved mother alive]
- David Gelbman: [stands] There's the other birthday girl. Hi, sweetie.
- Tree Gelbman: [hugs her father] Hey, Dad. Um, do you mind if I talk to Mom alone for a minute? Just some girl talk.
- David Gelbman: Oh. Well, sure. I-I can go run some work calls.
- [Tree's father takes his cellphone and walks away]
- Tree Gelbman: Okay, thanks.
- [Tree sits near her mother]
- Julie Gelbman: Is everything okay?
- Tree Gelbman: [chuckles] Yeah. It's fine. Everything's fine.
- [pause]
- Tree Gelbman: Oh, shit, how do I do this?
- Julie Gelbman: [worried] Do what, sweetie? What's wrong?
- Tree Gelbman: Mom...
- [Tree bends forward and holds her mother's hands]
- Tree Gelbman: [in trembling voice] I really want you to know how much I love you.
- Julie Gelbman: [chuckles] Aw. I love you, too, sweetie.
- Tree Gelbman: No, Mom, I'm serious.
- [Tree fumbles for words]
- Tree Gelbman: You know, people say "I love you" all the time, but... it's not until you can't say it to that person's face anymore that you really realize how much you mean it.
- [Julie nods]
- Tree Gelbman: You are so beautiful and so amazing...
- [Tree is choked by tears]
- Tree Gelbman: [sniffles] ... and I just hope I can become half of the woman that you are one day.
- Julie Gelbman: [laughs] Are you kidding? I'm the woman I am because I had you. You know, I never really told anyone this before, but when I was pregnant with you, I was scared shitless.
- [they both laugh]
- Tree Gelbman: [sniffles] No...
- Julie Gelbman: But then, the moment I held you, something inside of me changed instantly. The best kind of love does that. It changes you. It makes you a better person.
- David Gelbman: [tearfully] Oh, God, I'm so stupid. I really thought I could have it all, but I can't.
- Julie Gelbman: [shakes her head] Oh, honey, nobody can. But guess what. That's okay. You'll get what you need.
- Tree Gelbman: [tearfully] I hope so.
- Julie Gelbman: Aw. Come here.
- [they hug]
- Tree Gelbman: Am I crushing you?
- [they both laugh]
- Julie Gelbman: Nope. You're always gonna be my little girl.
- [Tree's father appears, carrying a birthday cake with a single candle]
- David Gelbman: [sings] Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, Tree and Mom.
- [Tree's father places the cake on the table. Tree looks intently at her mother, cherishing their last moments together, while her tears flow]
- Julie Gelbman: Make a wish.
- [Tree nods. She smiles and closes her eyes for a monent. Then she and her mother blow the candle together. They smiled lovingly at each other. Shortly afterwards, Tree returns to the lab]
- Ryan Phan: Will someone please explain what the hell is going on?
- Tree Gelbman: [sighs] Okay. Recap: so, I was stuck reliving the same day, Monday the 18th, over and over and over again until someone wearing a Bayfield Baby mask murdered me on the night of my birthday. I had no idea who it was because I was such a crazy bitch, and so many people hated my guts. So, at Carter's suggestion, I made a list of suspects. Turns out it was my roommate, Lori, who kept on helping a serial killer escape from the hospital, hoping it would look like he murdered me when, in fact, it was her all along, and all because she was jealous of an affair I was having with my college professor, Gregory, who was married. Yeah, I know. Pretty shitty. But, anyways, I finally kicked Lori's crazy ass out a window and killed her, which broke the loop, or so I thought. But now it only looks like it passed the loop on to you, and you're gonna be stuck reliving this day until we figure out how to stop it.
- Ryan Phan: [sighs] Of course. I'm still dreaming.
- [Tree winces]
- Carter Davis: Wait, what?
- Ryan Phan: It's like "Inception". It's a dream within a dream.
- [Ryan lies on the bed, closes his eyes]
- Carter Davis: Bro, you're not dreaming. Ryan, we...
- Ryan Phan: Shhh... I'm trying to wake myself up.
- [Tree shakes her head. Carter approaches the bed and slaps on Ryan's crotch. Ryan cries in pain and jumps from the bed]
- Carter Davis: There. See? You're not dreaming.
- Ryan Phan: [annoyed] Why did you hit my penis?
- Carter Davis: Why are you acting like this?
- Ryan Phan: You smacked my dick. That's rude.
- Carter Davis: I barely touched you.
- [at the lab, Tree explains the situation to the group. After she writes the equations on the board, they prepare Sissy]
- Tree Gelbman: How much longer is it gonna take?
- Ryan Phan: Thanks to your crazy memory, it shouldn't take long at all. I can have Sissy ready to go in just a few minutes.
- [Tree nods. Then she recalls she needs to warn Lori and say goodbye to her parents]
- Tree Gelbman: [to Ryan] I need a little more time. There's something I need to do.
- [Tree heads for the door]
- Ryan Phan: Tree!
- [Tree stops in her tracks and turns back]
- Ryan Phan: You sure you want to go back?
- Tree Gelbman: Can't spend my life living in the past. Got to take a leap of faith.
- [Tree leaves. Ryan ponders for a moment over what Tree said, then he returns to work on the compter]
- [Tree awakes, at the same point she kept waking up in the previous film. She is unaware yet that she is an another dimension]
- Tree Gelbman: [enraged] No fucking way!
- [Carter is confused. Tree stands and heads for the door]
- Carter Davis: Hey, I-I folded your clothes for you.
- [furious, Tree does not wait till Ryan will enter and ask Carter the same question like every day. She opens the door and steps outside to the hallway]
- Tree Gelbman: Ryan! Get in here right now!
- [Tree re-enters the room. Ryan appears at the door, terrified in view of Tree's anger]
- Carter Davis: Wait a minute, you two know each other?
- Tree Gelbman: Yes!
- Ryan Phan: No...
- Tree Gelbman: [glares at Ryan] Ryan, you dumbass! You sent me back.
- Ryan Phan: [confused] What?
- Tree Gelbman: It's Monday the 18th. I don't believe this. I just got out. How could you do this to me?
- Ryan Phan: [to Carter] Uh... who's this crazy white girl?
- Carter Davis: Maybe it was a-a bad dream or something.
- Tree Gelbman: [getting dressed] You're right. It is a bad dream. It's a nightmare! This sucks! It sucks the biggest mega balls in the history of shitty ball-suckery!
- [Tree takes a pillow, thrusts her face into it and yells until she calms down]
- Tree Gelbman: [quietly] Ha... I'm okay.
- Carter Davis: Are you sure?
- Tree Gelbman: Yes. He just needs to fix this. Now.
- Ryan Phan: This is a joke, right?
- Tree Gelbman: [chuckles, then glares at Ryan] This is a joke, right?
- Tree Gelbman: I wish.
- [Tree approaches Ryan, grabs his collar and pushes him against the door]
- Tree Gelbman: Ryan, we need to go to your lab, turn on Sissy, and figure out how to send me back!
- Ryan Phan: [puzzled] Uh, how do you know about Sissy?
- Tree Gelbman: Oh, my God. Just... let's go.
- [Tree starts walking away. Ryan and Carter stare at each other, totally confused]
- Tree Gelbman: Ándale, people!
- [Ryan and Carter follow Tree. They encounter the same people Tree used to see each time she woke up in the previous film. Much to everyone's confusion, Tree yells at all the people]
- [Tree goes to her sorority house. As she arrives, Lori comes out, on her way to the hospital]
- Lori Spengler: She finally rolls in...
- Tree Gelbman: Uh, Lori, hi.
- Lori Spengler: [chuckles, noticing Tree's dishevelled appearance] Big night?
- Tree Gelbman: [grunts] You could say that. Um, look, Lori, I...
- [pause]
- Tree Gelbman: It's good to see you.
- Lori Spengler: [chuckles, puzzled] Wha...? It's good to see you, too, Tree.
- [while Tree fumbles for words, something catches Lori's attention, and her smile fades. Tree follows her gaze and sees Gregory leaning on his car, looks annoyed. Lori sighs sadly and lowers her eyes]
- Tree Gelbman: He's not worth it. I mean, trust me. I've been involved with a married guy. I know what it's like living a double life. Always feeling like shit about yourself. But it's never too late to change. Someone once told me that "every day is a chance to be someone better." Maybe this is your day.
- [Lori listens to Tree intently]
- Lori Spengler: [smiles] Okay. Thank you.
- [Tree hugs Lori. She feels bad for killing her in the original dimension, even though it was of self-defence. She has grown to like Lori in the past weeks she spent in this dimension, and hopes she can save her]
- Tree Gelbman: Take care of yourself.
- [Tree leaves. Lori sighs, then goes to the hospital. Tree enters the sorority house and heads for Danielle's room. She knocks on the door, but no one answers. She enters the room and sees Danielle dressed in a nightgown and a robe]
- Danielle Bouseman: [surprised] Tree...
- Tree Gelbman: Hey. Um... look, Danielle, I feel really bad. I've totally been misjudging you, and it's completely on me. I am so sorry that I've, like, made this...
- [suddenly, Nick comes out of the bathroom, wears only a towel]
- Nick Sims: [smiles] Nice... three-way.
- [Tree realizes that Danielle cheats on Carter. She muses that maybe Danielle is not much better than the selfish bitch she is in the original dimension]
- Danielle Bouseman: [embarrassed] He's kidding.
- Nick Sims: No, I'm-I'm not.
- Danielle Bouseman: Nick's, um, shower was broken, so I said he could use mine. Right, Nick?
- [naturally, Tree does not believe this lame excuse. Nick is so stupid that he does not understand what Danielle meant]
- Nick Sims: [puzzled] My shower's fine.
- [Danielle gives Nick a murderous look]
- Tree Gelbman: Right. Um, you know what? Never mind. Sorry for interrupting. Bye-ee.
- Nick Sims: Bye-ee.
- [Tree leaves, closing the door behind. Angrily, Danielle slaps on Nick's bare chest]
- Nick Sims: Ow! What was that for?
- Danielle Bouseman: For being dumb as a rock. That's what.
- Nick Sims: Oh, really? How can a rock be dumb? They don't even have brains.
- [Danielle gapes at Nick's stupidity, and slaps him again]
- Nick Sims: [annoyed] Ouch!
- [at the hospital, Tree sneaks behind the security guard. She deftly takes his gun from the holster and points it at the guard]
- Police Officer: [trembling with fear] This is a really bad idea.
- Tree Gelbman: There's a killer on the loose here. Go get help.
- Police Officer: What?
- Tree Gelbman: Go!
- [the guard runs away. As soon as he is out of sight, he starts yelling]
- Police Officer: She's got a gun! She's got a gun!
- [Tree cocks the security guard's gun and storms into the OR. Inside, Lori reads Tombs' medical record, failing to notice that Tombs takes a knife and is about to stab her]
- Tree Gelbman: Lori, move!
- [Lori moves to the side. Tree shoots Tombs three times. The murderer is thrown against the wall and collapses on the floor, dead. Tree grabs Lori's hand]
- Lori Spengler: [gasps] What...?
- Tree Gelbman: Come on, we've got to move.
- [Tree pulls Lori to the door]
- Lori Spengler: What's happening?
- Tree Gelbman: I'll explain later. Move!
- [meanwhile, at the lab, Ryan has Sissy nearly ready to operate. The lights at the campus go off and back again. Unfortunately, Dean Bronson figures he was distracted, and hurries back to the lab with two security guards. Samar and Dre push a couch against the lab doors]
- [Tree holds Gregory at gunpoint. Sirens are heard from distance]
- Tree Gelbman: [smiles] You hear that? You're gonna rot in prison.
- Gregory Butler: [narrows his eyes] I don't think so. You see, there's one little detail you failed to realize in all this.
- Tree Gelbman: Oh, really? What's that?
- [Stephanie appears behind Tree and Lori, armed with a gun]
- Stephanie Butler: Me.
- [Lori turns back and shrieks in horror. Stephanie shoots at her in the stomach. Lori collapses, injured]
- Tree Gelbman: Lori!
- Stephanie Butler: You really think I was gonna let a little whore like that ruin my life?
- [Tree and Stephanie point their guns at each other. Gregory charges at Tree, tackling her down. The gun is knocked from Tree's hands, and Stephanie picks it. Gregory wraps his fingers around Tree's throat]
- Stephanie Butler: Gregory, kill her!
- [Tree punches Gregory. She nearly manages to get free, but Gregory grabs her hair and slams her head against the floor, then stands and steps away from her. Stephanie hands Gregory one of the guns]
- Stephanie Butler: Would you like to do the honors?
- Gregory Butler: Don't mind if I do.
- [Gregory points the gun at Tree, who is lying helplessly on the floor, near the injured Lori. Suddenly Gregory turns to his wife]
- Gregory Butler: Oh, wait. I almost forgot.
- [Gregory shoots Stephanie. She collapses, dead]
- Gregory Butler: I want a divorce.
- [Gregory turns back to Tree]
- Gregory Butler: Now, where were we?
- [suddenly Carter shows up]
- Carter Davis: Hey!
- [Gregory shoots wildly at Carter's direction. Carter evades the shot. Tree seizes the opportunity and runs away. Gregory shoots after her, but misses. Tree enters the MRI room. She grabs a computer keyboard. When Gregory enters, Tree hits him with the keyboard, knocking the gun from his hand. Gregory grabs Tree and throws her through a window to the next room. Tree collapses painfully near a wheelchair, stunned and injured. Gregory picks the gun and approaches Tree. Tree pulls a screwdriver from her back pocket and waves it feebly at Gregory, who stands with his back to the MRI machine]
- Gregory Butler: [laughs, amused] Aw, look who brought a screwdriver to a gunfight...
- [Tree notices the switch that turns on the MRI machine. Gregory cocks the gun]
- Tree Gelbman: Wait! I have something I need to tell you.
- Gregory Butler: What?
- Tree Gelbman: You're screwed!
- [Tree presses the switch, turning on the MRI machine. The wheelchair, pulled by the powerful magnet, is thrown against Gregory, slamming and pinning him to the MRI machine. The gun is his hand is also pinned to the machine]
- Gregory Butler: [screams painfully] Turn it off, you bitch!
- [Tree points the screwdriver to Gregory's chest. Realizing what she is going to do, Gregory is filled with fear]
- Gregory Butler: No. No, no, no, no, no, no, wait. Wait!
- [Tree lets go of the screwdriver. The tool, drawn by the magnet, flies forward and gets buried in Gregory's chest. He gasps and dies. Tree shuts the power off. The murderer and the wheelchair drop to the floor. Tree slumps on the floor, sighs with relief; the nightmare has finally over]
- [after killing Gregory, Tree hurries back to check on Lori. Lori pants heavily, pressing her palm on the wound. Carter helps her stand and supports her]
- Carter Davis: Ready? Come on. There you go. I got you. I got you. All right. Yep.
- Tree Gelbman: [arrives] Oh, my God. Are you okay?
- Lori Spengler: [smiles painfully] I guess this is a pretty good place to get shot, huh?
- [two nurses arrive with a stretcher]
- Carter Davis: I'll lift you up now, all right?
- [Carter lifts Lori and carefully places her on the stretcher]
- Tree Gelbman: You're gonna be okay.
- Carter Davis: You're good. It's okay, it's okay. You're okay.
- [Tree recalls that in the original dimension, she had to kill Lori in self-defence. The thought saddens her]
- Tree Gelbman: Lori, I... I'm so sorry.
- Lori Spengler: [confused] For what? You just saved my life.
- Tree Gelbman: I just... I wish things could have been different.
- New Nurse: I'm sorry, but we need to move her.
- [the nurses take Lori away, leaving Tree and Carter alone]
- New Nurse: [to Lori] Hang in there, hon.
- Carter Davis: [to Tree] Hey.
- Tree Gelbman: Hey.
- [Carter notices Tree's facial injuries. He touches her forehead]
- Carter Davis: [worried] You okay?
- Tree Gelbman: Uh, yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I... I thought I told you to stay put.
- Carter Davis: [smiles] Yeah, well... sorry, couldn't help myself.
- [they chuckle. Suddenly the lights flicker. Tree understands that she is about to be sent back to the original dimension]
- Tree Gelbman: I think it's time. I hope you realize I'm only going back for one reason.
- [Carter bends to kiss Tree. At the lab, the guards finally manage to open the doors. Samar grabs a fire extinguisher and sprays Dean Bronson and the guards with CO2 powder, delaying them. Ryan looks at the computer screen: Sissy will operate within four seconds. Bronson tries to reach the wires, but Dre grabs his leg, slowing him down. One of the guards grabs Samar. As Bronson nearly reaches the wires, Sissy operates. At the hospital, Tree and Carter kiss. The next moment, Tree is transported back to the original dimension. She finds herself in the lab, near Carter, exactly as it was before she transported to the second dimension. Ryan, Samar, Dre and Bronson regain consciousness. No sign of Ryan #2]
- Samar Ghosh: Oh, man...
- [Samar finds an empty bottle near him]
- Samar Ghosh: [sighs] My Yoo-hoo.
- [stunned, Bronson removes his glasses and looks around. Tree and Carter regain consciousness. Tree is unsure whether she made it back to the original dimension]
- Tree Gelbman: [to Carter] Danielle?
- Carter Davis: [puzzled] Who?
- [Tree is relieved. She hugs Carter closely]
- Tree Gelbman: Hi.
- Samar Ghosh: On, my god. I think I just shit my pants.
- [ending credits]
- [as Carter is speaking with Danielle on his cellphone, Tree has an idea. She snatches the phone from Carter]
- Tree Gelbman: Danielle, hi.
- [Carter tries to say something, but Tree covers his mouth with her palm]
- Tree Gelbman: So, we have a little favor to ask...
- [Dean Bronson sits at the faculty lounge, knitting and and watching TV. Danielle enters, dressed like a French girl, pretending to be blind: she wears dark sunglasses and feels her way with a white cane]
- Dean Roger Bronson: Can I help you?
- Danielle Bouseman: [in heavy French accent] Oh, perdn. I appear to be, uh, very lost.
- [Bronson stands and approaches Danielle]
- Dean Roger Bronson: Roger Bronson. I'm the dean of the school.
- Danielle Bouseman: Oh, bonjour. My name is, uh, Amelie Le Pew.
- Dean Roger Bronson: Oh. You must be with the exchange program.
- [Tree and Carter peer into the room through the window in the door]
- Danielle Bouseman: Ah, oui, oui. Monsieur, may I know your face?
- Dean Roger Bronson: I'm sorry?
- [Danielle feels Bronson's face very roughly, as if she was kneading dough]
- Dean Roger Bronson: [uncomfortably] Oh! Oh My.
- Danielle Bouseman: Oh, my. What strong features!
- Dean Roger Bronson: Thank you. You must be French. Your hand smells like cheese.
- Danielle Bouseman: I don't eat cheese. Ah, I am, uh... uh, lactose intolerant.
- Dean Roger Bronson: Oh, quelle dommage.
- [Danielle moves around]
- Dean Roger Bronson: Uh, uh... uh, where are you trying to get to?
- Danielle Bouseman: Uh, le caf.
- Dean Roger Bronson: Oh, you must mean the cafeteria. I'm happy to show you.
- [Danielle looks around and spots the keys, near a chess board]
- Dean Roger Bronson: Here, here. I can...
- Danielle Bouseman: Uh, whoa!
- [Danielle pretends to stumble, deliberately knocking a vase full of marbles with her cane]
- Dean Roger Bronson: Oh, oh! Oh, don't move! You'll trip.
- [Bronson starts collecting the marbles]
- Dean Roger Bronson: Oh, marbles. Marbles! Marbles everywhere.
- [while Bronson is busy picking the marbles up, Danielle grabs his keys and hands them to Tree and Carter]
- Danielle Bouseman: Go, go, go!
- [Tree and Carter rush to Bronson's office, where their friends are waiting for them. While Danielle gets herself wrapped in a tapestry, Tree tries the keys till she finds the right one. She, Carter, Dre and Ryan enter the office, while Samar is outside, wathcing in case someone comes. They move Sissy out of the office. Samar, Ryan and Dre take it to back to the lab, while Tree and Carter hurry back to the lounge, before Dean Bronson finds out his keys are missing]
- [at the lab, Ryan shows Tree and Carter the device that caused the time-loop in the first movie]
- Ryan Phan: The Sisyphus Quantum Cooling Reactor. We call it "Sissy" for short. You see all these? They're proton lasers, and when they fire, they cool the centrifuge right here to almost below one nanokelvin. So, basically, we're trying to prove that time can be slowed down on a molecular level. It hasn't worked yet, but we did find some promising data, after the device fired the other night.
- Tree Gelbman: When?
- Ryan Phan: 12:01 AM yesterday.
- Tree Gelbman: [shakes her head] Monday the 18th.
- Ryan Phan: [nods] Mm-hmm.
- [Tree gives Ryan a murderous look]
- Ryan Phan: What?
- Tree Gelbman: You created the time-loop, dummy!
- [Tree, Carter, Ryan, Samar and Dre sit at the cafe. Tree explains them what happened in the previous film]
- Ryan Phan: That's impossible. That's not what Sissy was designed to do.
- Tree Gelbman: I don't know what to tell you.
- Samar Ghosh: Well, maybe we're just discovering what it actually does.
- Andrea 'Dre' Morgan: An unintended reaction. Maybe we thought we were slowing time, but what if we looped it instead?
- Tree Gelbman: [to Ryan] Now you're stuck in this day. Congrats. Oh, and by the way? You're going to die. Again... and again... and again.
- Ryan Phan: [cringes] Carter, tell your girlfriend to stop trying to scare me.
- Carter Davis: Oh, she's not my girlfriend.
- [Tree gives Carter an offended look]
- Carter Davis: Well, wait, are you my girlfriend?
- [Tree remembers that from Carter's perspective, they know each other only for one day]
- Tree Gelbman: Kinda.
- Tree Gelbman: I thought I was stuck in the same day for some big, cosmic reason - facing my mom's death - but it had nothing to do with her. Turns out it was just some scientific fluke.
- Ryan Phan: Guys, focus. I don't want to die.
- Tree Gelbman: [shrugs] On the bright side, you'll come back. I died eleven times.
- Ryan Phan: [shocked] Eleven? Hell no. That shit hurts.
- [the Bayfield Baby masked murderer attacks Ryan and draws a knife. Before he can stab Ryan, Tree sneaks behind and knocks him unconscious]
- Carter Davis: Who is he?
- Tree Gelbman: Only one way to find out.
- [Tree approaches the murderer and removes the mask. She, Ryan and Carter gasp in disbelief: the murderer looks exactly like Ryan]
- Ryan Phan: What the fu...
- [they bring the second Ryan to the lab and tie him to a chair]
- Carter Davis: You sure you... you don't have a twin brother? Maybe you were separated at birth.
- Ryan Phan: [annoyed] Of course I'm sure.
- [Ryan touches slightly his replica's head. The second Ryan regains consciousness]
- Ryan Phan #2: [opens his eyes] Oh, shit.
- Ryan Phan: [firmly] "Oh, shit" is right. Who are you?
- Ryan Phan #2: Who you think I am, dummy?
- Carter Davis: It's you.
- Ryan Phan, Ryan Phan #2: [together] Duh...
- [Tree, aware that she is stuck again in a time-loop but unaware that she is in a different dimension, enters her sorority house to confront Lori. As she climbs the stairs, she expects to hear Danielle calling her "You sneaky little bitch", as happened every day in the previous film, but it does not happen]
- Tree Gelbman: That's weird.
- Carter Davis: What?
- Tree Gelbman: She was supposed to be here.
- Carter Davis: Who?
- Tree Gelbman: Uh, never mind.
- [Tree, Carter and Ryan enter the room Tree shares with Lori. Lori sits at the desk, writing in a notebook]
- Lori Spengler: She finally rolls in...
- Tree Gelbman: [sharply] Where is it?
- Lori Spengler: Where's what? Oh, hey, Carter.
- Carter Davis: Hey.
- [Tree is confused that Lori and Carter know each other, but shrugs that off]
- Tree Gelbman: Where's the cupcake?
- Lori Spengler: What cupcake?
- Tree Gelbman: [sharply] The one you made for my birthday. The one you poisoned!
- [Lori has no idea what Tree is talking about]
- Lori Spengler: [rolls her eyes humorously] Oh, THAT cupcake.
- [Lori stands and packs her bag]
- Tree Gelbman: I'm serious.
- Lori Spengler: Look, I don't know what stupid joke Danielle put you up to, but there's no cupcake. Sorry. All right, I got to go. I'm pulling a double for Jen. She's got the flu.
- [Lori closes her bag and hangs it on her shoulder]
- Lori Spengler: Happy birthday, though. Toodles!
- [Lori leaves, without giving any cupcake to Tree. Tree is totally confused]
- Tree Gelbman: Something's wrong.
- Carter Davis: What?
- Tree Gelbman: I don't know. It's different.
- [Tree, Ryan and Carter sit at the cafeteria. Tree explains to them everything that happened in the first dimension]
- [Tree, Ryan and Carter sit at the cafeteria. Tree explains to them everything that happened in the first dimension]
- Ryan Phan: There were two of me?
- Tree Gelbman: [impatiently] Yes! That is how this whole thing happened.
- Carter Davis: [smiles] You know, this kind of reminds me of "Back to the Future II".
- Ryan Phan: Totally. Mm-hmm.
- Carter Davis: Right?
- [Tree stares at them cluelessly]
- Carter Davis: You know, with Marty McFly?
- Ryan Phan: Doc?
- Carter Davis: The DeLorean?
- Tree Gelbman: Sorry.
- Carter Davis: [stunned] Are you serious? You've never seen "Back to the Future"?
- Tree Gelbman: No, I... how do you... wait. Oh, my God. Does this mean that...
- [Tree looks around fearfully, expecting to see another Tree]
- Tree Gelbman: ...does this mean that there are two of me?
- Ryan Phan: I highly doubt it. It's almost impossible to create a holographic universe. You're probably stuck in a quantum cyclic dimension.
- [Tree stares at Ryan cluelessly]
- Tree Gelbman: [impatiently] There's only one of you here, because the other you got knocked into a parallel dimension somewhere in the multiverse.
- Tree Gelbman: [sarcastically] Okay, Ryan. Thanks for clearing that up. That was super helpful.
- Ryan Phan: You never heard the multiverse theory?
- Tree Gelbman: Do I look like someone who knows what a multiverse is?
- Ryan Phan: Okay, look.
- [Ryan takes a napkin]
- Ryan Phan: This is our universe. Okay? Now, look.
- [Ryan folds the napkin several times]
- Ryan Phan: In theory, the universe has six dimensions. Now, if what you're saying is true...
- [Ryan drives his pen through the napkin]
- Ryan Phan: ...then maybe you woke up on the same day...
- [Ryan unfolds the napkin]
- Ryan Phan: ...but not in the same dimension. That would explain the anomalies.
- Tree Gelbman: So, how different are we talking here?
- Ryan Phan: Well, it depends...
- [Tree notices that Danielle approaches them]
- Tree Gelbman: Oh, shit. I forgot our house meeting. Danielle, I'm sorry. I just...
- Danielle Bouseman: [approaches Carter] Hey, babe.
- Carter Davis: You doing all right?
- [Tree gapes in disbelief and jealousy: Danielle and Carter kiss for a long moment]
- Danielle Bouseman: [smiles at Ryan] Hi, Ry.
- Ryan Phan: [smiles shyly] Hey, Danielle.
- [Tree is even more puzzled: in the original dimension, Danielle is snobbish and obnoxious, and wouldn't even look at people like Carter and Ryan. Tree concludes it is one of the differences between the dimensions: in the current dimension, Danielle is nice and friendly]
- [Tree meets her father at the restaurant, to celebrate her birthday]
- Tree Gelbman: Hey, Dad.
- David Gelbman: Hey.
- Tree Gelbman: [hugs her father] Sorry I'm late.
- David Gelbman: It's okay, sweetie.
- Tree Gelbman: [sits at the table] It's just been a weird day.
- David Gelbman: Everything okay?
- Tree Gelbman: Uh, yeah. It's just... stuff, you know.
- David Gelbman: How's school?
- Tree Gelbman: Um, it's fine, Dad.
- [a waitress approaches]
- Waitress: Are you ready to order?
- David Gelbman: Not yet. We're still waiting on one more.
- Tree Gelbman: [puzzled] One more? I...
- Waitress: Okay. I'll be right back.
- [Tree cannot believe her eyes: her beloved mother Julie, who died three years ago in the original dimension, stands at the door, alive. She smiles lovingly at Tree]
- Tree Gelbman: Mom... oh, mom!
- [overwhelmed with joy, Tree rushes to her mother and hugs her lovingly, so strongly that Julie nearly falls backward]
- Julie Gelbman: [chuckles] Whoa! Hi...
- Tree Gelbman: [her eyes are filled with tears of joy] You're here. Are you really here?
- Julie Gelbman: [puzzled] Well, of course I'm here. It's our day.
- [Tree hugs her mother again. Julie and David are puzzled at Tree's strange behavior]
- Julie Gelbman: Are you okay?
- Tree Gelbman: Yeah. Yeah. Oh, God, I'm fine. I'm just... it's good to see you.
- [they chuckle. Tree hugs her mother again]
- Tree Gelbman: When were you gonna tell me?
- Carter Davis: Tell you what?
- Tree Gelbman: About Danielle.
- Carter Davis: [puzzled] What about Danielle?
- Tree Gelbman: Apparently you guys are dating.
- Carter Davis: Wait, I thought... I thought you knew that. I mean, you guys live in the same house.
- Tree Gelbman: Uh, no, I definitely didn't know. But the bigger question is: does she know?
- Carter Davis: Does she know what?
- Tree Gelbman: One of her closest friends woke up in your bed this morning. You don't think that that's newsworthy?
- Carter Davis: [scoffs] Nothing happened. I slept in Ryan's bed last night.
- Tree Gelbman: So, why take me home?
- Carter Davis: Because you were... you were wasted. I was afraid you were gonna fall or choke on your own vomit like Janis Joplin.
- Tree Gelbman: [sighs, recalling that Carter told her the same thing in the original dimension] Okay. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. It's fine. This is how it's supposed to be. My mom's okay. Lori isn't trying to kill me. I mean, this is, like, the better version of my life, right?
- Carter Davis: What are you...?
- [Tree notices Dr. Gregory Butler and his wife Stephanie. They appear to be arguing]
- Stephanie Butler: She's in a sorority, Gregory.
- Gregory Butler: She's...
- Carter Davis: Wait a minute. In this... in this other dimension, were we...?
- Tree Gelbman: I... I can't do this right now.
- [Tree walks away]
