But in dragging Donnie and Gretchen outdoors, the pieces are in place, ready for Frank's timely-yet-tragic arrival. Their reasons for being there only make sense considering their roles as MLs. He enters via the cellar door and bumps into bullies Seth and Ricky. Fellow teacher Karen Pomeroy plays Cupid between Gretchen and Donnie, giving Gretchen the bizarre instruction to "sit next to the boy you think is the cutest." After she's fired, she opts for more overt tactics, writing Cellar Door on the chalkboard before telling Donnie of a linguist who believed it to be the most beautiful phrase in the English language.ĭonnie remembers this conversation when he leaves the Halloween party to visit Roberta Sparrow. Monnitoff discusses wormholes, portals, and the feasibility of time travel before handing Donnie a copy of PoTT. Kenneth Monnitoff helps Donnie discover his purpose and understand what he sees is real, and not a sign of madness. Jet Engine 2 is later torn from the airplane and sent back to the PU, killing Donnie. Jet Engine 3 is an anomaly - with nowhere to go in the TU, it crashes into Donnie's house (the time Frank saves him). Jet Engine 2 is correctly attached to the duplicated airplane, which Donnie's mother and sister travel on later in the film. The TU forms, containing Jet Engine 2 and Jet Engine 3. Jet Engine 1 belongs in the PU, still attached to its airplane. To clarify, there are three identical jet engines in Donnie Darko. In-world physics dictate that water and metal are required elements to make time travel possible water is used to create a time vortex between the two universes, while the metallic jet engine acts as a transitional vessel. The only way to remove the Artifact from the universe is to send it through a time portal back to the PU. To save the universe, someone within the TU needs to transfer the Artifact back in time to October 2, 1988, to the moment the TU occurred. For the TU to collapse safely after its 28-day lifespan, it must be identical to the PU - so the Artifact needs to leave the TU before it collapses.
