If any of this doesn't work, just draw something different.  I'm going to
try to make some logos using the TSCC font, if I can track it down.

page one

/1

Big huge panel at the top.  A blown out school room.  Perhaps with no
ceiling/roof.  BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN addresses a full platoon of BRIAN AUSTIN
GREENs, collected from different timelines.

CAPTION: "Los Angeles.  2019."

BAG #1: "These guys are nothing to fuck with!"

BAG #1: "I don't know what it was like in YOUR future, but in MY future,
we've got some metal to molest!"

/2

Thin panel at the bottom.  All of the BRIAN AUSTIN GREENs raise their fists
and/or rifles in the air.

ALL: "FUCK YEAH!"

page two

/1

T-BONER (a skinless T-800) is playing a video game in his bedroom.  There
may be a MATRIX poster on the wall.  You can see him holding the controller
but you can't see the screen.

CAPTION: "Los Angeles, 2027."

/2

Close-up on his red, glowing eyes.  They remain coldly focused.

/3

Now you can see the screen.  He is controlling multiple BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN
characters in an MMORPG.

T-BONER: "This sucks."

1/

T-BONER is decked out in a flannel shirt, with another flannel shirt tied
around his waist, holding a backpack on his lap.  He's riding in a blown
out, Mad Max looking bus on his way to school.  He's wedged into his seat
next to another skinless, but extremely overweight, T-800.  This will be
"funny" because the skeletal robot nevertheless reads as being fat.  'You
Could Be Mine' by Guns N Roses plays on the radio.

CAPTION: "And so..."

SONG: "...Cause 5 years is forever and you haven't grown up yet..."

2/

'You Could Be Mine' fades out and then the announcer's voice leads back
into the same song.

SONG: "...YOU COULD BE MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEE YEAH!!!!!"

ANNOUNCER: "Well all right!" We haven't heard THAT one in a while."

ANNOUNCER: "And now here's GNR with 'You Could Be Mine...'"

3/

T-BONER looks out the window of the bus, making eye contact with the reader.

4/

The overweight T-800 sitting next to T-BONER makes a Satan sign with his
hand and starts bobbing his head.

page four

1/

High school classroom.  Packed with about thirty teenage T-800s.  One
(female) should be wearing a can-can dress and have a huge pink bow stuck
to her head.  Possibly, some males are wearing red leather jackets with
zippers and mesh like the one Michael Jackson wore in the 'Thriller' video.
The students are making a lot of noise.  Even more possibly, there could be
another group of males wearing blue 'Thriller' jackets.  Basically, whatever
you want to draw.  Let's somehow clearly indicate that these are adolescents.

CAPTION: "And at school..."

2/

The teacher enters, wearing a beige suit, elbow patches and a dark tie.  He
slams his briefcase down onto his desk.  In this panel he is only visible
from the shoulders down.

3/

Full-body shot.  The teacher is a human.  He is CHRISTIAN BALE.

CHRISTIAN BALE: "All right, people.  Let's cut the chit-chat."

4/

Nobody quiets down.  Someone throws a paper airplane at CHRISTIAN BALE's
face.

5/

It sticks in his buzz cut.

6/

He just lets it stay there.

CHRISTIAN BALE: "People.  Excuse me.  What time is it?"


---

page five

1/

No one answers.

2/

BALE snatches the paper airplane out of his hair and crushes it in his
fist.  He looks crazed.

CHRISTIAN BALE: "Give me a fucking answer!"

CHRISTIAN BALE: "What don't you get about it?"

CHRISTIAN BALE: "I."

CHRISTIAN BALE: "Am."

CHRISTIAN BALE: "Speaking to you."

3/

T-BONER is slouching so far down in his seat he looks like he's going to
slide off onto the floor.  He's way casual.  For some reason, he is suddenly
wearing Rayban Wayfarer sunglasses.  His skateboard rests under his foot.
Sitting right next to him is the girl with the pink bow.

T-BONER: "Chill, human."

4/

Same shot, but pull out slightly.  T-BONER stomps on the tail of his
skateboard, sending it hurtling into CHRISTIAN BALE's stomach.


5/

The class erupts into laughter, Apollo Theater style.

Splash.  Exterior shot of SKYNET HIGH SCHOOL with a SKYNET flag up on the
flagpole.  Leaves are blowing in the wind.  There could be some human skulls
laying around, or possibly a merry-go-round is visible, complete with
pillars of ash representing the kids who were playing on it when JUDGEMENT
DAY happened.  If the parking lot is visible, there should be a bunch of
blown up cars, some still on fire.  No explanation is provided as to why
these remnants of the initial strike against the humans are still evident,
years after the fact.

CAPTION: "TO BE CONTINUED"
