Fish out of water

BERLIN AIRPORT - DAY - LINCOLN steps off the plane and is immediately overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the city.

LINCOLN (to himself)
By the great Abraham, what sorcery is this?

He approaches a bike taxi rider, trying to hail him down.

LINCOLN (excitedly)
Hail, good sir! Take me to the heart of Berlin!

BIKE TAXI RIDER (confused)
Nein, nein, nicht so.

Lincoln realizes he's holding out the wrong hand.

Hail, good sir! Take me to the currywurst stand!

BIKE TAXI RIDER (laughing)
Nein, nein, nicht so.

Lincoln chases after the bike taxi, causing a scene on the sidewalk.

KEBAB STAND - DAY - Lincoln ends up at the kebab stand, still chasing after the bike taxi. He doesn't realize he's crashed into the stand until he's already riding off on the bike.

Oh dear, it seems I've crashed into the establishment.

The bike taxi rider stops, and Lincoln tumbles off, covered in kebab sauce and apologies.

CURRYWURST STAND - DAY - Lincoln steps into the currywurst stand, eager to try the classic Berlin snack.

LINCOLN (in his thick American accent)
I say, good sir! Gimme a currywhurst [sic], if you please?

CURRYWURST VENDOR (confused)
Nein, nein, nicht so.

Lincoln orders again, still using the wrong word.

LINCOLN (determined)
Currywhurst [sic], you heard me!

The vendor hands him a steaming hot sausage, but Lincoln loses control of it, covering his top hat in ketchup.

LINCOLN (alarmed)
Oh dear, what have I done?!

STREET FOOD MARKET - DAY - Lincoln tries to pay for a snack using coins from the 19th century.

I say, good sir! I'd like to pay for this fine snack, if you please.

LINCOLN (perplexed)
What sorcery is this?!

I'll have a cup of Joe, with a dash of crema, if you please.

I'll have a cup of coffee, with a splash of crema, and a dash of flair!

Oh, you mean irony and sarcasm?

LINCOLN (confused)
What's that?

Never mind, it's a German thing.

Lincoln tries to engage in the conversation, but ends up taking it too literally.

Nein, nein, nicht so.

MUSEUM - DAY - Lincoln's strict dress code causes him to stand out in modern Berlin, leading to strange reactions from passersby.

Technological mayhem

Financial fiasco

This basic premise, that an antique character comes back to modern day, is nothing new, but I needed a vehicle to explore the creative ability of the agentic AI that I wrote.
I paid special attention to possible plagiarisms, but couldn't see any, so if you see any, please let me know.
This mini TV series would run over 5 episodes, each lasting 20 minutes.

For the geeks: I write my agents using CrewAI, inference is accelerated through Groq, and I'm using Meta's open-source LLM "llama 3" with 8 billion parameters.
