Cultural Identity in a Historical Context
Lord Oliver Who speaks for you?
Marek I do, my lord.
Lord Oliver You speak strangely.
Marek Yes. We are Scottish, my lord.
Lord Oliver Scottish? (in Scottish accent) You've come to kill us all in our beds, eh? (goes back to original English accent) First the old man and now this group. Why do the Scottish find this village so pleasing?
The Impact of Historical Events on the Present
Marek I just delivered her to the French for safekeeping. How did the English get her?
Professor Johnston It's history.
Marek Then history will change.
Need for Cultural Experts in Time Travel
Doniger Yeah, yeah, look. We need cultural experts, not scientists. My people simply don't know about the medieval world, or how to mingle with the locals, which is what we're gonna have to do, if we're going to find the professor and bring him back.
Marek So that's it? We just step on that machine and whiz back to 1357?
Miscommunication Over Missing Glasses
Doniger Sorry Francois. They didn't have these.
[takes Francois' glasses]
Francois You know, I don't see too well without them.
Doniger I'm sure you'll be fine. That's where we goofed up with the professor.
