          INT. WHITE VOID

          QUICK SHOTS of nice couples dancing badly.  

          DAMIAN, TIM, DAN, and ANDY, the members of OK Go, address
          CAMERA.  L/3: "OK GO - POWER POP BAND/RELATIONSHIP EXPERTS."

                              DAMIAN
                    Hi, we're OK Go.  We love making
                    people smile with our fun music
                    videos, but we wanted to truly bring
                    happiness into people's lives,
                    which is why we've started OK
                    Go-pid, a dating website guaranteed
                    to find that perfect match for you.

                              TIM
                    OK Go-pid utilizes the things that
                    make our videos so special to help
                    you find love.

                              DAN
                    Just fill out an OK Go-pid profile
                    listing your likes, dislikes, and
                    what you're looking for in a
                    partner.

          CUT TO a GUY (still in white void) filling out a survey on a
          computer.

          CUT TO OK Go.  Andy prints out the Guy's profile, crumples
          it up, and throws it...

                              ANDY (V.O.)
                    Then we print out your profile and
                    use it to start one of our
                    signature mechanical computational devices,
                    which will pick your perfect.
                    match.

          The piece of paper knocks over a domino, starting a chain of
          other dominos, that ends with a ball baring, that rolls
          along an ELABORATE MACHINE: wheels, cranes,
          etc. At the end of the machine, there is a
          line of balloons, and the machine pops one at random.
          Another crumpled profile falls out.

          Andy picks it up, unfolds it, and holds it next to the
          original profile. It's a match! OK Go nods approvingly.

                              TIM (V.O.)
                    Some people may call it totally
                    random.  We call it fate.

          CUT TO the Guy and his match, a cute GIRL looking happy.

                              GUY
                    I never thought I'd find true
                    love.  Then the ball baring
                    launched the dart into Hailey's
                    balloon.

                              GIRL
                         (all smiles)
                    We have nothing in common, but it
                    was really cool to watch!

          CUT TO OK Go.

                              DAN
                    There's someone out there for
                    everyone!  Sometimes all it takes 
                    to show the way is a dog trained to
                    roll a cue ball into a bucket.

          QUICK SHOT of a bunch of cue balls on the floor. A dog comes
          over and rolls one into a bucket with his noes. Damian then
          takes the cue ball out of the bucket. It has the name
          "Kumiko" written on it. He shows it to the other guys. They
          do they exact same approving nod.

          CUT TO another couple: an OLD JAPANESE WOMAN (Kumiko) and a
          YOUNG BLACK GUY.

                              YOUNG BLACK GUY
                    Honestly, Kumiko's not who I would
                    have chosen, but OK Go has
                    millions of views on YouTube.

                              KUMIKO
                    OK Go wa nanndesuka?

          SUBTITLE: "What is OK Go?"

          CUT TO OK Go.

                              ANDY
                    Making sure our users are
                    compatible is the most important
                    thing to us.  Which is why OK
                    Go-pid uses your interests to find
                    your perfect match.

                              GUY 2
                    I told OK Go-pid that I was really
                    into baseball.  So they did this
                    cool thing where they used this
                    cannon they made to fire 2,000
                    baseballs into a pond, and Linda
                    just happened to be doing her daily
                    swim there.

          WIDE REVEALS LINDA, who has a black eye.

                              LINDA
                    I hate baseball and I was married
                    already.  But sometimes fate ---
                    and OK Go -- has other plans.

          CUT TO another couple: GUY 3 and GUY 4.

                              GUY 3
                    I'm not gay, and neither is Pete,
                    but when that mouse ate the cheese
                    in front of Pete's picture... well,
                    I still wasn't gay.  But...

          CUT TO another machine. It releases a mouse, that scurries to
          a piece of cheese under a picture of Pete/Guy 4.

                              GUY 4
                    But who are we to argue with OK
                    Go?! Remember that video where
                    they're on treadmills?!

          They start (badly) humming "Here it Goes Again."

          CUT TO OK Go.

                              DAMIAN
                    OK Go-pid is designed to find your
                    perfect match on the first try.

                              DAN
                         (beat)
                    It has to be.  we are not setting
                    it up twice.

          The band nods in agreement again.

          CUT TO another couple: a NERDY GUY and a HOT GIRL.

                              NERDY GUY
                    IT WORKED GREAT!  NO COMPLAINTS!

          The Hot Girl is about to speak but we CUT AWAY.

          MUSIC rises as we show three more quick couples dancing.

          A SUPER-TALL WOMAN and a VERY SHORT MAN. L/3: "ANGELA AND
          ROB, TOGETHER ONE YEAR."

          A large BUS DRIVER and an ESKIMO WOMAN: L/3: "BRETT AND AKNA,
          TOGETHER 3 YEARS."

          An OLD MAN and a CHAIR: L/3: "HERMAN AND CHAIR, TOGETHER 5
          YEARS."

                              OLD MAN
                         (a winking whisper)
                    I just don't want to be alone!

          CUT TO OK Go.
