'THE BOOK OF HARVEY'
The year is 3045. The earth is a nuclear wasteland. Humankind is on the brink of extinction after decades of war. The origins of the conflict have been lost on the remaining few, however instinct tells them it all has something to do with a poker game played millenia beforehand. Legend has it that a saviour with a birthmark shaped like a royal flush (hearts) will end the wars once and for all.
That saviour is Harvey. Harvey, son of Cy-ril LongBottom and Bea GrassSkirt, lived in a small hole on the edge of Mt. Tall. He was a kind soul, never exposed to the harsh reality of his dead and angry world. One day he decided that he needed to travel outside of his safe hole, and visited the wise shamaan in the valley of ghosts. Together they discovered Harvey's birthmark. The Shamaan told Harvey the legend of the man with the flush mark, and from that point on they both knew what must be done. With the shamaan's knowledge and Harvey's keen interior designing skills, they built a deloreon to travel back in time with. The hope was to go back far enough to discover the origin of the war.
The Delorian first took Harvey backwards to 2002, where he became starting LB for the Oakland Raiders. After a poor start to the football season, he was traded to the Golden State Warriors. The transition was difficult since the Warriors were a basketball team and the Raiders had played football, and also Harvey could play neither.
With the delorian in 5th gear, Harvey escaped from the sub-.500 season and landed in 1000AD. Actually, he drove right through the villiage square of a Viking city. In the process he ran over the King. The villagers were upset. Harvey offered sandwiches as a make-up gift. The villagers were happy. But Harvey had no fixings. The villagers were upset. They were as hungry as a small elephant. He was chased by an angry mob in protest, but escaped posing as an old man with a limp. The limp was very well acted. This aggression and petty anger on the part of the Viking mob was new to Harvey...it was alien
to him.
In the process of escaping, Harvey noticed one woman at the edge of the alien mob: sophia the red. Her beauty blinded Harvey and he ran into a wooden post. Darkness.
Harvey next wakes up in the infirmary. It was crowded with other men who had run into posts after being blinded by sophia's beauty. It was decided that the village should stop putting up so many wooden posts, especially in the middle of streets and escape routes.
This drew the ire of the wooden post makers in the village. They formed another alien mob and ran wild through the streets. To counter, the remaining villagers set a trap for the post makers. Harvey was the central figure in the plan. He was to gather wood for post making until the post people took notice and made him a part of their mob. This took some time, and never actually worked. It was a waste of 4 hours.
Eventually the post makers were trapped as a group beside a wall. From a top the parapets, Harvey grabbed a flaming arrow and bow, but the bow was also on fire, so he chose a spear instead. It was at this moment that he saw the beautiful sophia, down on the ground amongst the post maker mob. She was a post maker!
It was time for Harvey to chose: love or war. He chose love. Perhaps this was his destiny: to make the peace by marrying on of the enemy. He threw down his spear and started toward sophia when out of nowhere a stone hit him on the head. He fell and fell for what seemed like hours, the drop was decieving. He was only seconds away from piercing himself on a sharpened
wooden post when the delorian flew underhim and saved his life! Auto pilot, screamed Harvey...autopilot! With a flash he was gone.
Harvey awoke inside a small barn. He was on a pile of hay. The delorian was parked at the back. Harvey must have collapsed from exhaustion...but where was he? And when? How was he supposed to save the world now?
Harvey slowly looked to his left at a group huddled in the corner. Jim Cavezeil, a 38 year old man, was in the corner being held by Mary, his mother. Behind them was Joseph, his father, and 3 wise-men carrying gift. He looked to the right and the clock on the manger wall read midnight, December25th, 0 AD.
38-year-old Jim Cavezeil, playing a newborn baby jesus (using "the method"), lifted his small arm and pointed to Harvey. He spoke 4 words that would change Harvey forever: "I WANT THAT BEARD". Suddenly the 3 wise men pulled out ninja stars and shotguns. Harvey turned to the camera and winked slyly. A new adventure was about to begin.
