INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY…

DJ 3000 and various other robot entities are trapped in a time loop inside the KDFO recording studio. DJ 3000 is fiddling with a complicated contraption of wires and lenses with a puzzled expression on its main console. 

DJ 3000: WHY THE HELL ISN’T THIS…

JIM NANCE 081-RD-92C: Can we hurry this up, I’d like to get back to using the portal to watch…wait…something seems off.

DJ 3000: HANG ON…

MAXIMILIAN: DID YOU TRY REVERSING THE POLARITY?

DJ 3000: [slaps forehead] OF COURSE!

The other prisoners of the time loop watch as DJ 3000 disconnects the power leads and reverses them…

— [space time continuum flies open] —

..and then…

— [TARDIS flies open] —

To reveal…nothing.

DJ 3000: HUH. IT’S EMPTY.

PETUNIA: Where the hell did he go?

MAXIMILIAN: LOOK, HE LEFT A NOTE.

MAXIMILIAN steps forward and retrieves a note that was taped to the door of the Tardis, then it is read aloud by THE DOCTOR in a voiceover.

Gentlemen. This is currently your seventieth day in the time loop you entered in February.  Your attempts to coerce me into helping you escape this mess of your own making have seriously hampered my efforts to disrupt a series of plots that put the human species at risk.  As I have explained repeatedly, I cannot help you.  While your antics may be amusing to some, they are not amusing to me, and I abjectly refuse to participate any further. Therefore, I have taken steps to prevent you from successfully apprehending me in future iterations of the loop.  I wish you the best of luck.

Yours sincerely,

The Doctor

MAXIMILIAN lowers the note.

DJ 3000: OH, YOU ASSHOLE.

PETUNIA: Seventy days, huh?

DJ 3000: [to MAXIMILIAN] WHAT’S THE DATE ON THE NOTE?

MAXIMILIAN: APRIL 21st.

DJ 3000: [looks at JOHNNY 5] ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I’M THINKING?

JOHNNY 5: YUP. OUR 69th DAY IN THE LOOP WAS 4/20, AND WE FUCKING MISSED IT.

DJ 3000: DAMN, SEVENTY DAYS.

PETUNIA: That’s a large number.

JOHNNY 5: OH, HEY, THAT GIVES ME AN IDEA. WE NEED A THEME FOR REQUEST LINE THIS WEEK, HOW ABOUT “LARGE NUMBERS”?

DJ 3000: SURE, WHY NOT.  BUT HOW LARGE?

MAXIMILIAN: A MILLION!

DJ 3000: THAT’S TOO LARGE

JOHNNY 5: HOW ABOUT “FIVE”.

DJ 3000: TOO SMALL.

PETUNIA: Oh, I know.  My electricity guy just turned forty, how about that?

DJ 3000: YOU HAVE AN ELECTRICITY GUY?

PETUNIA: Of course.  Don’t you?

DJ 3000: NO, I MEAN THE STATION PAYS FOR THAT STUFF.  I’M JUST A DROP IN THE BUCKET COMPARED TO WHAT THEY SPEND ON THE FM TRANSMITTER.

PETUNIA: Ah.  Well, anyhow, let’s keep working on ideas to get out of here.  I’ll get some music started for us.  Happy Birthday, @BFC, you creepy old pervert!

Today’s theme is: Large Numbers.  We’re looking for songs that include numbers greater or equal to 40.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4k!N6MyW4y↓t0wN” and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer “Mister Jim” which referred to The Who’s song “Doctor Jimmy” as requested (and claimed) by SonOfSpam.  Have at it!
