Fungus Amogus: Part 1

                                    

                                          
Cold open
Milo: (narrates off-screen) Previously on Milo Murphy's Law. When time travelers Cavendish and Dakota saved a pistachio plant at my school, that plant grew up, became sentient, and took over the future! I guess whatever can go wrong, really does go wrong! Luckily, we were able to defeat them here in the present, thus saving the future from a vegetary dictatorship. But the crazy thing is, we found out that I was in an episode of Doctor Zone from 1965 - before I was born! And I sent a letter from 1965 to my friends in the present. How did that happen? Stay tuned for this episode of Milo Murphy's Law!
Act I
Somewhere in Danville
(Milo, Melissa, and Zack are screaming as they fall out of the sky in their balloon.)
Milo: Well, I guess you were right, Zack. That was too close to the sun.
Zack: This is not the way I wanted to die!
Melissa: You have a way you want to die?
Milo: Wait guys, I forgot. There's an emergency escape button. (He pushes the button, but it only drops them out of the balloon basket) Ah! Now I remember why I forgot it.
(They continue screaming. Luckily, Dakota drives the time-vehicle onto a ramp, and it catches them, saving their lives.)
Melissa: Whoo-hoo! All right! Okay, so that was fun.
Zack: You and I have different definitions of fun.
Melissa: Cavendish, Dakota, other Ben. Thanks for the save.
Dakota: Yeah, well, I... I saw you plummeting to your doom, so I swerved up onto that ramp, and then...
Cavendish: Tell them the truth.
Dakota: Yeah, I was trying to get mustard off the steering wheel, it was a complete coincidence. But, glad it worked out for ya!
Zack: We'll take what we can get.
Ben: Story of my life.
(Milo's cellphone rings.)
Milo: That's weird. It's you guys.
(In the cellphone.)
Dakota: Warning... Big trouble! 1965!
Cavendish: You're just yelling words! Give him some actual information he can use!
Dakota: Oh yeah. Beware the intern!
(Call ends.)
Zack: What the heck was that?
Milo: It says, "Call made in 1965." I don't even remember that being a feature on this phone.
Cavendish: Well, apparently, that is a message from fifty years ago that we have not, as of yet, made. (Melissa imitates mind-blowing.) Perhaps we should go check it out.
Milo: Can I go with you? I need to go to 1965 so I can leave my friends that note.
Cavendish: Wait, what?
(NW drags Ben along.)
The Murphy house
(Scene switches to Milo's TV, playing the scene in the lost pilot of The Zone in which Milo was.)
Milo: (on TV) Whatever will we do, Doctor?
Melissa: See? He shows up in the lost pilot episode of Doctor Zone, in 1965.
Milo: Before I was born!
Cavendish: Amazing! You're really quite an awful actor.
Milo: (laughs) I really am! But while I'm there, I give this note to the creator, Orton Mahlson, to give to Melissa and Zack, fifty years later!
