THE BUCK-O-PLEX (aka the Third Floor Common Room), Wednesday Evening

Most of the common room -- especially the couch and the TV -- had been roped off with bright yellow "POLICE LINE DO NOT CROSS" tape. Sure, people could still get by it to go to their rooms or the stairs, but why would you want to?

The sign painted on a bedsheet hanging from the ceiling said "BUCK-O-PLEX Movvy ThEatR". By the one gap in the tape was a podium with a cardboard "TicKeTTs 5$ dolers" sign, and a TV guide taped to it. The smell of burnt popcorn was wafting from the microwave, which had a "Consecshins" sign near it.

Oh, yes, it was time for another one of Bucky's brilliant ideas.

"I'm from the future," Terry said. "I know how history remembers those movies. No thanks."

"You ARE?!?!??" Bucky asked, dumbfounded. "...I mean, I knew that!! Roomie from the future, totally on top of that one, check. So... what kinds of things are popular, in the future? Any hot new trends that it's important to be in on the ground floor of?"

"I should clarify," Terry said. "I'm from way too far to make any difference to you. Unless you really think you can hold out on making a profit for another 30 years or so."

"Damn straight I can make a profit for 30 years," Bucky replied. Sure, that wasn't the question Terry has asked, but it's not like Bucky was listening all that closely. "I'm an artist. What about YOU???"

"Most artists don't actually make money off of their art. You realize that, right?" Terry asked.

"Most 'artists'," Bucky countered, "are Commie Pinko Liberal scum. And stupid, too. All that 'suffering for your art' and 'integrity' crap."

"And 'spelling things correctly,'" Terry added. "Yep. They're not smart like you."

"Spelling things 'correctly' isn't Commie, it's Fascist!!!" Bucky insisted, facepawing. "Seriously, don't you know anything?!?"
