1 - You don't understand the concept of the futu- *gunshot* Well that didn't help anyone

3 - (fading) Oh no, I'm ceasing to exist!

3 - I am him from the future

2 - The future doesn't exist! (begins fading) Ah! I don't exist

1 - What do you mean "time is a whale" ?

4 -  REMEMBER!

Everyone fades. 1 is alone. He turns to the chalkboard

7 - I've come from the future to warn you that people will be coming from the future to stop your work on traveling from the future!

1 - You're too late. They've already been.

7 - So I couldn't go back to before they arrived? Damn it, they were right. Time travel is impossible!
