Seamus vs. the Walnuts

My next script is going to be about a time traveler from the 1930s, who was sent forward into the present in order to save the world from a threat. Let's go ahead and say that the threat is the advance of supersized walnuts on the masses, upset with the encroachment of man on their fields.

But the problem is that the time traveler (whom we'll call Seamus) is a very heavy smoker. And everytime he goes inside a building, further and further diving down the rabbit-hole of the giant conspiracy behind the production of the supersized walnuts (spoiler: it's a company profiting from Anti-Walnut poison gas), he lights up a cigarette and is immediately taken away by security.

First, the mall. Then, an office building. Then, a plane. And so on. In each case, Seamus is always trying to understand the change in policy from when he was alive - and when smoking was legal and encouraged everywhere, even hospitals and churches - to now, where smoking is only legal is a small ten-foot-by-ten-foot square five miles outside of Boise, Idaho.

At the end, the delay by the security proves costly and the world falls to the Great Walnut Crisis, except the executives of the Anti-Walnut poison gas company, who jet off on a spaceship, trying to find another place for humanity to exist, smoking in zero gravity the whole way.

Inevitably they'll land on some seemingly deserted planet, do a little exploring, and come upon the creatures featured above. But no, it's not Earth years and years in the future. It's just another planet. With monkeys who smoke.
