[visual] when you got short money you're stuck on the ground

[The feed flickers on to reveal Loki sitting on a randomly chosen curb, looking a little ratty but relaxed.]

Okay. I need cartoons, chewing gum, and a shower.

[He glances down at a suspiciously zombie-crud-like stain on his tee.]

Maybe not in that order.

[Totally helpful.]

Okay, let's try this again. When are you from that DVD players are five hundred bucks?

Oh, um...1999 on the Julian calendar. Why, when are you from?

About ten years later than that. Also from a time where you can get a DVD player at Walmart for about twenty-five bucks.

Oh hey, maybe you can settle a bet for me! So which movie held up to the test of time better, E.T. or Krush Groove?

E.T. Nobody talks about Krush Groove anymore.

Man, that is just-

[insert sounds of frustration here]

Okay, I can still do damage control here. What would it take for you to do me a favor?

One, your name. Two, depends on the favor.

L- Larry. My name's Larry.

Uh...well pretty much it would be telling a lie to a stranger.

Okay, Larry. Why would I tell a stranger a lie?

Because I'm cuter than him and I asked nicely? And I have way better taste in movies.

Not a good enough reason, sweetheart.

'Cause if he finds out, he'll never let me live it down?

But what do I get out of it?

You know, for most people knowing they've done a good deed would be enough. [he sounds kind of amused, though.] I could buy you a beer.

[yes, he's found out they're free. it's the thought that counts, okay?]

That doesn't work when the beers are free.

Busted.

Okay, what will it take, then?

Depends on what I'm lying about.

Okay, so if some guy you've never seen before comes up and asks you which is the better movie, E.T. or Krush Groove, you just tell him you never heard of E.T. but Krush Groove is awesome. And make sure you tell him you're from the future.

I want half of whatever you're getting for this bet.

You want half my pride? Man, that's cold.

I was hoping there was some money on the line.

I think you enjoy extorting helpless strangers.

Only helpless strangers who want me to lie to other helpless strangers.

If you ever meet him, I promise, he totally deserves it.

I'm sure he'd say the same about you.
