Tim, Brian and others in “Chaos”

[After an original Star Wars trilogy marathon]

Tim

You know, Brian, everything that happened in those movies can be attributed to the actions of one man.

Brian

Who?

Tim

The gunner on the Star Destroyer in the first film.

Brian

What d'you mean?

Tim

[chuckles in a knowing way] Well, if he'd shot the pod with R2 and 3PO in, they wouldn't have made it to Tatooine, they wouldn't have met Luke, Luke wouldn't have met Ben, they wouldn't have met Han and Chewie, they wouldn't have saved Princess Leia, none of it would have happened.

Brian

Chaos theory...

Tim

Eh?

Brian

The predictability of random events. The notion that reality as we know it—past, present, future—is in fact a mathematically predictable preordained system.

Daisy

So somewhere out there in the vastness of the unknown is an... equation... for predicting the future?

Brian

An equation so complex as to utterly defy any possibility of comprehension by even the most brilliant human mind, but an equation nonetheless.

Tim

[In dawning realization] Oh my god...

Brian

What?

Daisy

What?

Tim

I've got some fucking Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket. [They all cheer; Tim sings] "Oh Mummy, oh Daddy, let's all play kabaddi."
