At 1:40 and ticking down, both fight for the possession of the gun and JD kisses Veronica. When she repossesses the gun, she walks by the bomb and it says :57 seconds. When Veronica is pointing the gun at Jason, you can see that there are 42 seconds until the bomb blows up. But, when she asks him how to stop it a few seconds later, it is still on 42 seconds. They have a conversation which lasts about one minute, yet the clock advances only 12 seconds to :30 seconds. However, the final 30 seconds takes about that much screen time.
