I love these scenes, but stories tend to rush them and it infuriates me:
First contact, esp. working out how to communicate across species
Time traveler convincing someone in the past they're from the future
The first 48 hours of the castaway arriving back in civilization

Now I'm wondering if you can work all three elements into a story.
For extra credit, assemble a story that's 90% composed of scenes that fit those types (can be a mix, or all of one type)

I gotta say for #2, Marty McFly trying to convince Doc Brown in Back to the Future is a pretty solid classic, my favorite bit is when Doc Brown asks him who's president, Marty says confidently, "Ronald Reagan" and Doc Brown bursts out laughing, "The Actor???"
Like if you were time traveling from 2020 back to anytime pre-2016 you would probably be better off just lying if you got that question if you wanted to be believed
