No, I'm not talking about what we're used to. I'm talking about the end of the world. This is what the Mayans predicted five thousand years ago, only we were too arrogant to listen. The mesothelioma rate has always been high, but it's about to shoot way up, and it's not going to be limited to just this town. The whole world is going to be infected by Friday. Don't you think this is worth looking into?

POLICEMAN #2
I'll tell you what I think. I think you're just a crackpot looking for attention, who has no respect for other people's time. No sane person cares about this Mayan stuff.

FRANK
Well, just put an APB out on this guy. He can't be that hard to find.

POLICEMAN #2
But we don't need to find him, because he hasn't committed a crime. Only you have. We have a 314 in progress: annoying a police officer.

FRANK
Look, we can't just ignore this. You have to take it seriously, before it's too late.

POLICEMAN #2
(drawing his gun)
You've got three seconds to get out of my sight, before we play a little game I call "shoot the asshole." 1...2...

FRANK runs out the door.

FRANK steps out of the police station, frustrated. He hears thunder and looks up to the sky. It begins raining, and he starts walking to work, with no umbrella.
