Cruising speed is two years per
minute.Go into the past or future.
:09:07
Two years per minute?
:09:08
Acceleration keeps the machine and
occupant outside all time spheres...
:09:13
-...conscious, but vaporized.
-How do you determine direction?
:09:18
West, you gain yesterdays.
East, you accumulate tomorrows.
:09:22
Balderdash!
Go north, you get to Glasgow.
:09:25
The machine is designed
with several safety features.
:09:29
The reversal rotation lock returns
the machine to its starting date...
:09:33
...after the completion of a voyage.
:09:36
If the occupant is injured
during a flight...
:09:39
...the passenger is returned
to the point of departure.
:09:43
Unless he uses this key
to countermand the device.
:09:49
Without that key,
it's a bloody homing pigeon.
:09:52
And what, may I ask, is this?
:09:58
Well, John...
:10:01
...this is the vaporizing equalizer.
:10:06
Without it, the passenger journeys
without the machine...
:10:10
...and without the machine,
there is no coming back.
:10:18
Well, H.G., which is it to be?
The past or the future?
:10:22
The past, surely.
He'll want to meet Cleopatra.
:10:25
-The future.
-Why the future?
:10:28
I belong there.In three generations,
social utopia will have come to pass.
:10:34
There'll be no war, crime or poverty.
And no disease either, John.
:10:39
Men will live like brothers,
and in equality with women.
:10:43
-Oh, dear.Let's have the past.
-Here, here.
:10:48
I can't agree with you.Check.
:10:52
You astonish me.In the midst of all
your theorizing, you ignore the facts.
:10:57
We live in a cosmic charnel house.
Mankind has not changed in 2000 years.
