Clear

INT. A FUTURisitic  School Building

Greg walks over to the futuristic chalk board. There is actually no physical board or chalk because it's the future.

GREG
Okay now what year are we in?

JENNIFER
Um, it's..

ROBOT DRAKE (in  robot voice)
The current year is 2237 Miss Orgnata.

Jennifer, who is also at the board, slowly turns around to the robot. The robot turns to her.

ROBOT DRAKE
I also recommend you use your own personal calen-

Jennifer runs over to the metal robot and starts strangling Robot Drake's robot neck.

JENNIFER
If you give me one more recommendation I will hurt you in the one way I now a
robot can truly feel pain!

GREG
Now calm down Jenn, these recommendations might prove useful later. 
That's why I bought the software upgrade.

Greg separates Jennifer from the robot and walks back to the chalk board. Jennifer sadly walks back as well. She gives one last evil glare to the metal. The metal turns to her and flashes a message on his "robot screen" on his chest: You're a Bitch!!!!!. The lost few exclamation points continue scrolling and fill the screen. It's also animated with emoticons. 

Jennifer goes to attack the robot again but the screen turns to rainbows and bunnies as Greg interrupts again.

GREG
Jenny will you please focus, it's just a machine.

JENNIFER
It's a stupid machine.

GREG
Sure Whatever.

JENNIFER
Okay, now why did myself get brought in here tonight with that thing?

GREG
Because I may have stumbled on the most amazing knowledge
known to men.

JENNIFER
So, whatevs?

GREG 
This is important!

As they continue arguing about how important it is. The robot shines a red light and  slowly rolls ( it's on wheels too) over to Greg.
GREG
Come on science is important!!

The robot taps him on the shoulder. Greg, while listening, leans down to the robot to here his message.

JENNIFER
Important? Out of all important things on all the important lists known to man, I would put this pretty low Greg, pretty lo-

Greg, disheartened from the message he got from the robot, slowly gets up and interrupts Jennifer.

GREG
Um, Jennkins..

JENNIFER
WHAT?!

GREG
Um, well the robot has made a suggestion that you re-learn some grammar (future word) books.

JENNIFER
AND WHY IS THAT?!!

GREG
He said the word, "whatevs" is not a known word in his current vocabulary dictionary.

JENNIFER
Oh really?

Jennifer looks, no stares directly at the robot. Not happy even a little bit.

JENNIFER
Greg, please leave the room.

GREG
Do you have to?

JENNIFER
PLEASE LEAVE THE ROOM.

Greg shakes his head and heads for the (future) door. The robot follows.

JENNIFER
No, metal, the robot stays.

The robot stops and displays a sad face emoticon.
