INT. UMAMI BURGER - NIGHT

TYLER sits at a table next to his GIRLFRIEND as they enter minute 45 waiting for their drinks. TYLER pulls out his cell phone and opens the MLB App.

TYLER: So Cleveland lost again.

GIRLFRIEND: What?! They were up 9-5!

TYLER: I know, I am in the future also.

END OF ACT ONE
