FADE IN: 1 INT MODERN OFFICE A wide shot shows a well dressed man, Dr. Kilgore Trout, standing before a group of six very serious looking people seated around an oval conference table.. His back is to them as he looks out a large window at one end of the room. The camera dollies in as he turns. He momentarily pauses and then opens a letter size folder marked "MOST SECRET". The camera cuts to a close-up as he speaks: DR. TROUT - -Ladies, gentlemen, I have some disturbing information that has just been received. He looks up, and his gaze sweeps the small intent group as he continues DR.TROUT - - A small Ultra Dense Object has been detected hitting the Earth today; and while it was no larger than the small red dot on a Leica, its mass was substantial. So substantial in fact that it punched a rather deep hole into the earth. The camera shot switches to one of the attendees, a rather aple MAN IN GLASSES. MAN IN GLASSES - -Was there any damage, Doctor Camera pans to DR. TROUT in preparation for a one-two shot of him speaking. DR. TROUT - -Indeed, there was He sighs, removes his glasses as the camera switches to a close up showing beads of perspiration on his forehead, and upper lip. DR. TROUT - -IT seems that it severed a cable carrying information over the internet, and somehow- we don't know exactly how, but one end of the cable was thrust through a chronosynclastic infundibulum, and it tapped into some portion of space and time where the earliest internet messages were just arriving. There is a collective gasp. DR. TROUT - -It seems that the bandwidth of this phenomenon is almost infinite, and it put every message sent over the internet the last 12 years back onto the net. I am afraid we're going to have to re-read all of them before any new ones can be delivered..... FADE TO BLACK. I awake, screaming, shouting- "CUT! CUT! It could be worse, George!!
