:23:02
"I am in the Hotel del Vecchio."
:23:04
And I spelled out the details for myself
:23:09
and did it over and over
and again and again and again.
:23:15
And?
:23:18
Well, I'll never really know, Richard.
:23:23
I've never done it since.
:23:25
And I'm not sure I'd want to do it again.
:23:29
I felt exhausted afterwards.
Completely washed out.
:23:34
And if it really did happen,
:23:37
I was only there a fraction of an instant,
remember, a flicker.
:23:41
Yes, sir, I understand that,
but you were there.
:23:46
I thought so.
:23:48
It was imperfect, granted.
How would it be otherwise?
:23:53
There were objects around me
that were clearly from the present,
:23:57
and I knew they were there.
:24:01
If I were going to try it again -
mind you, I have no such intention -
:24:05
but if I did, I would disassociate
myself entirely from the present,
:24:11
move everything out of sight
that could possibly remind me of it.
:24:17
Then who knows?
:24:29
Sorry.
:24:41
Hi.
:24:43
Do you have any 1912 money?
Very specifically 1912.
:24:58
Ah-ha!
:24:59
That's it.
