Mommy, look at that.

Mommy, come over here.

Mommy. Who's that man?

Jason, come away.

He probably works here.

The Wells exhibit is on loan

from the British Museum.

The objects in this hall

form a portrait of the public...

... and private life

of an extraordinary person...

... whose prophetic vision influenced

the shape of things to come.

On your left is the inlaid wood

secretary with a unique top...

... from Wells' rooms.

It was on this desk...

Hey! Get away from the exhibit.

Where do you think you are,

Disneyland?

- Pardon?

- You heard me. Get behind those ropes.

- Was discovered by workmen

digging where Wells' house once stood.

Come on.

The reasons for his building it

are unknown.

- That it didn't work

made him avoid discussing it.

- H.G. Wells was born in...

- Novel? Time Machine?

You people. Christ, Almighty.

Never.

Eight hours off.

What did you do to my car?

Can't you drive?

Some SOB can't read.

- Could you tell me what city this is?

- Oh, come on.

Could you please tell me

what city this...?

San Francisco?

California. Of course!

Eight hours difference.

Thirteen, 14, 15 pounds. This money

is quite old, you're aware of that.

- They're still good, aren't they?

- Sure.

A coin dealer would give you more.

Here, all you'll get is the current

exchange rate, which is...

...$25.50.

- Twenty-five dollars?

- Really, it's the same all over.

Money makes the world go round.

It's just worth less and less.

Money, yes.

Everyone needs money.

Has there been another gentlemen

here recently...

...another Englishman

with currency like mine?

Not that I recall.

And they would have sent him to me.

I see.

Get me a Big Mac, an order of fries

and a small Coke to go, please.

Thank you, dear.

Get me a Big Mac, fries

and tea to go, please.

Pommes frites.

Fries are pommes frites.

I never saw wood like this before.

I haven't seen stones in settings

like these since before the war.

- The war?

- Since the Second World War. You know.

- Did you say, "world war"?

- Since World War II, I said.

- How much are they worth?

- Today's market? $6000 easy.

- Would you like to buy them?

- I couldn't give you top dollar.

That's all right. What's your offer?

- Four?

- Yes. Very well.

You don't want to think about it?

Okay. May I see some ID?

You know. Driver's license,

credit card, something like that.

- I'm afraid I don't have some.

- I can't do business without some ID.

- How do I know these aren't hot?

- Hot?

- Stolen.

- Stolen?

I assure you, I give you my word

as a gentleman.

Come on, what's this gentleman stuff?

How come you don't got any ID?

Let me do a computer check. If it's
