You see, I stole it,

and here I stand for all to see.

- Is this some parlor game?

- Believe it.

Easy now, Allan.

I'm feeling a bit of a draft

in my nether regions.

And I must say, it's quite refreshing.

Allow me to introduce myself.

Rodney Skinner, gentleman thief.

Now, I thought invisibility

would be a boon to my work.

Well, you can imagine,

it was my undoing.

Once you're invisible,

it's bloody hard to turn back.

We finally caught him.

And they'll provide an antidote.

Well, that's if I'm a good boy.

And are you a good boy?

I guess you'll find out, won't you?

Am I late?

A woman's prerogative, Mrs. Harker.

Please tell me this is Harker's wife

with a sick note.

Sick would be a mild understatement.

My husband's been dead for years.

Gentlemen, Mrs. Wilhelmina Harker.

Mina's prior acquaintance

with a reluctant League member...

...may prove useful.

- I'm waiting to be impressed.

The fate of the world is at stake.

There are two more members to recruit.

- The clock hands turn, gentlemen.

- Kicking us out already?

A moment ago,

it was sherry and giggles.

- What in God's name is that?

- I call it an automobile.

Yeah, but what is it?

The future, gentlemen.

The future.

- This is my first mate.

- Call me Ishmael. Please.

So how did M get you?

None of your business.

You're a little testy, Mr. Q.

Mrs. Harker, I doubt if you measure

danger the way I do.

And I imagine you with quite the library,

Mr. Quatermain.

All those books you must have read

merely by looking at their covers.

I've had women along on past exploits

and found them to be, at best...

...a distraction.

- Do I distract you?

My dear girl, I've buried two wives

and many lovers...

...and I'm in no mood

for more of either.

- You can send them my way...

- Skinner, shut up.

- Shall I wait, captain?

- No, bring my lady to me.

This is a charming spot.

Does Jack the Ripper live here?

- Good evening.

- Mr. Dorian Gray?

- I am indeed.

- We came by way of M.

M for mystery.

Well, I've told him and I'm telling you,

I'm not interested.

Dorian.

Mina?

Charming dcor.

You're missing a picture, Mr. Gray.

And you don't miss a thing,

do you?

Oh, sometimes.

Scotch, anyone?

Please, help yourself.

Don't let it ruin your makeup.

I'm impressed, Mr. Gray. You take

Skinner's uniqueness in your stride.

Yes, well, I've seen too much

in my life to shock easily.

Although, I must say

I was surprised to see you again.

Well, our last parting

was such sweet sorrow.

So you're nothing more

than an enticement.

Nevertheless,

your presence intrigues me.

They say you're indestructible,

Quatermain.

Well, a witch doctor

did bless me once.
