"You see, when they film a movie, they don't film in the order that events take place in the narrative. Like, they'll film all the scenes in one location at the same time. And they'll need to consider studio rental space, and space reservations, and so on. Afterwards, once they have all the footage, the editors will cut and splice the film together so that it matches the chronology of the script."

"Well, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one," said the Time Robot, "and assume you're telling the truth. But if I find out you've all been jumping around forward and backward in time, I'm going to be very robo-unhappy."

Fair enough, Time Robot, fair enough.

But he never really addressed the thing that made me put out the alert signal in the first place. The guy who convinced me that having a broken pinkie toe would be an good idea.

He said "It's a tour de force of painless awesomeness!" and "It will be an unforgettable, unregrettable decision!"

I think he was lying to me. I demand justice.

I know technically it's outside of the Time Robot's jurisdiction, but ow, my toe!
