Plot Point to Convey
The Doctor's creation is a time machine. Tongue-in-cheek tone of game through homologous survey of others' failed time travel efforts (lots of references to time travel in pop culture). Doctor When has been working on this problem since high school and is about to demonstrate. The Doctor's high school friend, Prof. Catherine Chronos, has flown in to assist. Two of the key components of the time machine are the "midi ether co-keypad ring" and the "quantum chronomentometer," which the Professor and the Doctor were specialists in respectively. Doctor admonishes audience to "Never use time travel for petty personal gain." Dr. When is carrying an overly-conspicuous and highly recognizable envelope but makes no overt reference to it. When he enters the time machine and activates it, the machine goes haywire.
Short Description
Welcome! Doctor vanishes into time machine, which breaks.
