Somewhere in Time

Laura Roberts: [seeing Elise return home] How is the play? Did you enjoy it? Are you all right? Arthur Biehl: [seeing Richard dying] Such a fine man. What a shame. I wonder what happened to him.

Richard: Arthur, you know in the Hall of History, there's a photograph, a young woman. There's no nameplate. Arthur: Yes, that's Elise McKenna. She was a famous actress in her day. Starred in a play in the hotel theater. Richard: I-I'm sorry. Did you say there was a theater here? Arthur: Yes. Down by the lake. Richard: Really? When was this play done? Arthur: 1912.

Richard: This is not for a play, Miss Roberts. This is something very personal. [shows her the pocket watch] Laura: Where did you get that? Richard: Well, she gave it to me, ma'am. At the opening night of a play that I wrote at Millfield College about eight years ago. Laura: That watch was very precious to her. She never, never left it out of her possession. It disappeared the night she died. Richard: She died that night?

Laura: [about Elise] When I knew her, she was kind and thoughtful. But she was just too much within herself. She seemed empty somehow. Richard: She wasn't always that way, was she? Laura: Oh, no, not at all. People who knew her when she was young said that she was quick and bright and full of fun. Strong, willful, not at all the way she was later. Richard: What made her change? Laura: I don't know. But the change seemed to have taken place about 1912, after she performed in a play at the Grand Hotel.

Elise: [seeing Richard for the first time] Is it you? Is it? Richard: Yes. Are you all right? Elise: Yes, yes, I'm quite all right. Richard: I'm sorry if I startled you. Elise: No, you didn't startle me. Richard: I think I did. Robinson: [to Elise] I'll take you into dinner now. Richard: May I speak to you please?

Robinson: Are you a guest here, sir? Richard: You're Robinson. Robinson: Are you a guest at the hotel? Richard: Yes, yes I am. Robinson: [sternly] Then I must ask you to stop annoying Miss McKenna any further. If you do not, I shall see that you're put out. [walks back to Elise] Elise: What did you say to him? Robinson: Oh, what I've always said to men of his sort. [points Elise to the hotel]
