[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]
