[ Hello, Hadriel. It's your local displaced cop grinning at the camera with his usual level of semi-manic energy. ]

Alright, this has been one of the most confusing months of my life and that includes that time I had to live in Florida. But, hey, there's a silver lining to everything, right? Even with the whole horrible crushing fear that I'll never see my family and friends again because I'm on an alien planet--

[ Ooh that got darker than he intended. TIME TO MOVE ON. ]

Forget all that! What I need to know is if anyone has the gear to set up a big movie night thing because I just so happen to be in possession of the greatest cinematic masterpiece in the world. And dare I say? The universe?

[ His hand, which has been out of frame comes in with a copy of- ]

That's right! Die Hard! Can I get a hell yeah?!

But, yeah. Short version: I found the greatest movie of all time and I wanna have a movie night. Who's in?

[Firstly, Nate is surprised that anyone has gotten a VHS player or a projector to work in this Scotland-esque Hellscape. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly-]

I don't think I've actually seen that? But sure, I'm in.

[It goes without saying that his wife is in, too. Movie nights are fun.]

Seriously? You've never seen it? Not even once?

[ Jake's horror is very much not feigned. You're so cool Nate, how can you have not seen a movie that's also cool? ]

[requiemshark]

Never head of it, but I'd be down. Could use some fun.

[ A pause. ]

This an action flick or something?

Voice

[toight]

It's not just an action flick, it's the action flick. The film that launched a franchise! Admittedly they get worse once you get past the third one but they're still okay.

[toiletseat_girl]

Yes, you can get a hell yeah. Die Hard is fucking awesome. Count me in, guy I've never seen before.

[toight]

I think you're officially my favorite person here, girl I've never spoken to either.

Oh god, that's cumbersome. I'm Jake and at least someone here has some taste for the classics!

Voice

[lovernotafighter]

I think you mispronounced "Reservoir Dogs", man. Everyone knows that's a cinematic masterpiece.

Voice

[toight]

Reservoir Dogs has nothing on Die Hard! It's the greatest action flick of all time!

[storyseeker]

I'm in. But I gotta know, where did you live in Florida?

video;

[toight]

Coral Palms. I'd call it Florida's sweaty buttcrack but that implies that there are parts of Florida that aren't sweaty buttcrack.

[ Can you tell he hated Florida, Elena? Can you? ]

[Video]

[lifetothefullest]

I think Florida was even worse and more confusing, at least for me, but it's close.

[And that's saying something since his Florida experience was weird.]

Where did you manage to get a copy of Die Hard?

[Video]

[toight]

Right now it's a pretty even draw. This place has horrible monsters that want to kill me but so did Florida. One time I woke up to an alligator in my kitchen and I didn't even live near any water. It was just there!

Uh, it was just laying around. Right next to a pile of energy drinks that tasted like pee and are apparently evil?

[ The face that appears in the video is most certainly not human, which will probably answer a lot of questions Jake might have in exchange for DiMA's, but he appears and sounds friendly and curious enough. ]

I have never seen a "movie" before. What is Die Hard about?

video;

[toight]

[ What THE HELL? Is that a robot? Is a robot saying it's never seen a movie before? ]

It's about a renegade cop who doesn't play by the rules, who has to save his estranged wife when some german terrorists take over the building they're in. It's literally the perfect movie.

...Can I ask a question?

video;

[braveoff]

You sure can have a hell yeah!

[ A movie? Drake hasn't seen a movie the whole time he's been here, but he knows other people have made movie nights happen. He just has to remember how they made it work. ]

I don't personally have the gear but it shouldn't be too hard to set up some kind of projector if you've got something to play that on. If not, we ask around.

[toight]

I knew I could count on you, buddy!

[ How hard is it to get a simple hell yes to a cinematic masterpiece? ]

video

[knifecollecting]

Wait. [Jo is trying to study the copy, which is hard on her small phone screen.]

Where the hell did you get a copy of Die Hard?

video

[toight]

It was just laying on the ground with a couple other movies? I figure the universe was doing me a solid.

[such_a_teez]

I'm interested. I've never watched a movie before, so if you're alright with it you can count me in. I don't think I can turn down the opportunity, especially if it's really the greatest cinematic masterpiece.

[Text]

[toight]

I'd ask what century you're from but I am genuinely afraid of the answer.

video

[unphase]

I've never heard of "Die Hard." It's really the greatest movie of all time?

video

[toight]

There has never been a before or since that's come close to the sheer epicness of Die Hard. It's a fact.

Why Florida?

( And why some universally — or at least in Kate's universe — panned movie? )

audio;

[toight]

Because Florida is terrible and I was in witness protection so I couldn't see my girlfriend or anyone I cared about for over six months.

[Audio]

[drabsolutelynot]

How on earth did you get your hands on that?

[Audio]

[toight]

I guess a bunch of random stuff came through the door? Including some amazing movies.

Audio

[itsnotaonesie]

Oh man. I would be so down for this, you don't even know.

I would offer to bring snacks, but all I have is about thirty cans of anchovies. Don't ask.

Audio

[toight]

You are officially banned from bringing snacks. But you know what you're not banned from? Watching the greatest movie of all time.

Video

[theweakhavepurpose]

Traditionally you're supposed to watch it on Christmas. But I'm in.

Also, Florida? What did you do to deserve that punishment?
