I Can See the Next Five Minutes

What could you do if you could see five minutes into the future?

See that girl up ahead? I bet you could try a thousand different ways and still fail to strike up a conversation with her. I only need one.

Because, in the future I saw, I failed ten thousand times. It was only on my ten-thousand-and-first attempt that I succeeded.

What you're about to see is the scene I'm going to show you now: that ten-thousand-and-first attempt.
