"Sideways To The Present (Part 8)" INT. DUDE'S BEDROOM DUDE is sleeping in bed. DUDE'S DREAM C.G. is sitting by a tree in an idyllic setting. C.G. If only I had a dude. For he would complete my role in life. C.G. And I... would complete his. T.D. enters the scene. T.D. *I* am a dude. Tech Dude. Do you find me desirable? C.G. I find you most- T.D. Most what? C.G. Who's that? T.D. Who's what? C.G. That glorious male archetype. T.D. Arch-a-what? DUDE struts into the scene with much flavor and excitement. DUDE I am Dude. Find me attractive. C.G. You are the perfect man. But before I declare to you my everlasting devotion, first, a duel. C.G. If you are the man you say you are, you shall be able to defeat Tech Dude in battle. DUDE leaps at TECH DUDE, and knocking him to the ground begins a violent attack. T.D. (yelling in desperation) What did I ever do to you? DUDE (also yelling) I don't remember! INT. DUDE'S BEDROOM DUDE wakes up sweating. He picks up his phone and calls T.D. T.D. (on phone) It's 2 A.M. What gives? DUDE I had a terrible dream. I tried to kill you. T.D. How is that a nightmare for you? DUDE I woke up in a cold sweat right before I got the job done. T.D. You do realize you're still dreaming, don't you? DUDE You always have to get the last word, don't you? T.D. (standing close to DUDE) Even in your dreams. Title-text: Who WILL get the last one? *Stay tuned* for PART 9.
