3rd Person's POV

"What if this was your house? Power's out. Lights are dead. Your little ones in their bunk bed down the hall, crying out..." Larry narrated.

"Mommy! Daddy! Come quick! I'm scared!"

"You need to get there, and fast."

"Coming, honey! Daddy's coming!" The actor yelled.

"You'll need a weapon. But first, you'll need a flashlight. But you're in the dark! What are you gonna do? How are you gonna find it? I'll tell you how. The Glow-in-the-Dark Flashlight! That's right, folks! I'm Larry Daley of Daley Devices, and we're gonna spend the next paid-programing block-rocking your world. And I brought along a friend to do it. George Foreman, ladies, and gentlemen!"

"Fantastic, Larry, fantastic! Isn't he fantastic, America? But, seriously, isn't it true that just two years ago, you were working as a night guard at some dusty museum?" George Foreman said to the audience.

"That is true, two-time world heavyweight champ George Foreman. I was just a regular Joe with a flashlight and a dream."

"You mean a regular Larry." He said laughing. Larry then pretended to laugh along with him. "But what's no joke is you're CEO of Daley Devices, creator of such indispensable items as the Super Big Dog Bone!"

"You like that one?"

"The Unlosable Key Ring!"

"Oh, yeah, that little chestnut!"

"And now your latest breakthrough...Say it with me, America! The Glow-in-the-Dark Flashlight!" The video cut out and as Larry was passing by a young woman answered the phone.

"Whatever the household crisis, this is Daley Devices. Can I help you?" She answered.

"Tina, give this back to Stewart. I don't trust his math, okay?" Larry said as he started passing her at her desk.

"That guy called again."

"Again?"

"Lar! Huge news! We got the Wal-Mart meeting." A man in his late 20s said running up to Larry.

"No! When?"

"Yeah. Three days."

"Okay, all right. We got a lot of work to do."

"Well, okay, did you just hear me say "Wal" and "Mart" together?"

"Yeah! I know, it's huge."

"So just take a second to be happy about it."

"All right. Yay." Larry said pretending to be excited.

"You're totally making fun of me."

"No, let's hold off on the victory parade till we close, okay?"

"You got it." As they were talking they walked out to where Larry's car and driver were waiting.

"And when does he want to meet?"

"They want Friday morning, 10:00 a.m."

"Okay, then, you know what? Cancel that pitch for the electric saw thing with the propeller, all right? I just want to focus on this."

" Okay."

"Just this."

"My daughter's birthday, canceled" Larry heard the guy said as he closed the door. He told the driver the address to where he wanted to go. After driving for a while they arrived at the Museum of Natural History.
