The Time Machine (Heinemann text) (from the year 1895) /Chapter X

The Time Machine by H. G. Wells

Chapter X.

'About eight or nine in the morning I came to the same seat of yellow metal from which I had viewed the world upon the evening of my arrival. I thought of my hasty conclusions upon that evening and could not refrain from laughing bitterly at my confidence. Here was the same beautiful scene, the same abundant foliage, the same splendid palaces and magnificent ruins, the same silver river running between its fertile banks. The gay robes of the beautiful people moved hither and thither among the trees. Some were bathing in exactly the place where I had saved Weena, and that suddenly gave me a keen stab of pain. And like blots upon the landscape rose the cupolas above the ways to the Under-world. I understood now what all the beauty of the Over-world people covered. Very pleasant was their day, as pleasant as the day of the cattle in the field. Like the cattle, they knew of no enemies and provided against no needs. And their end was the same.

'I grieved to think how brief the dream of the human intellect had been. It had committed suicide. It had set itself steadfastly towards comfort and ease, a balanced society with security and permanency as its watchword, it had attained its hopes—to come to this at last. Once, life and property must have reached almost absolute safety. The rich had been assured of his wealth and comfort, the toiler assured of his life and work. No doubt in that perfect world there had been no unemployed problem, no social question left unsolved. And a great quiet had followed.

I say, it's outright rude of him!

He's merely been detained.

This is such a waste of time!

If he's not coming, I have more important things to do.

Well, speak up. What is it, woman?

Well, are we or are we not invited for dinner?

Apparently we are.

How long has he been gone?

I'm not certain, sir. Several days. I've hardly seen him for some time. He never leaves the lab. He only comes in and picks at his food. But he did tell me about dinner, and left those instructions.

Thank you, Mrs. Watchett.

What's it say, Filby? What's wrong?

Nothing, really. George says that if he's not here by we're to begin without him.

Walter, what time is it?

Dinner is served, gentlemen.

First sensible thing I've heard all evening.

This is peculiar. He's usually prompt, precise and punctual.

He's making fools of us by not showing up. It's ungentlemanly.

(from internet transcript)


H.G. Wells: Changes that normally took hours took seconds.



H.G. Wells: Dear Mrs. Watchett... always able to suggest a tie... but never wearing anything more stylish... than what she's worn for years.



H.G. Wells: Yet I was traveling very slowly. What if I went faster? It became intoxicating. I pushed the lever on toward even greater speed. I gained experience with it. I could stop for a day, an hour, or even a second to observe. Then go ahead a year or two. I was able to see the changing world in a series of glimpses. Good heavens. That's a dress? This was intriguing. I wondered just how far women would permit this to go.



H.G. Wells: I began to grow very fond of that mannequin. Maybe because, like me, she didn't age.



H.G. Wells: The years rolled by, everything unfamiliar. Except the smile of my never-aging friend.










The Time Machine (2002)


Alexander Hartdegen: Mrs. Watchit!

Mrs. Watchit: Oh, huzzah, the master's home.

Alexander Hartdegen: You get it?

David Philby: You're looking in the pink.



The Time Machine (2002)


Must be all the exercise I get scampering up and down these stairs like a wee lad.

Don't torture me. Did you get it?

I got it.

Good. Let me see.

But don't you think for one moment...

I'm going to let you go out in that filthy jacket. Now, go in there and change. And you've got another letter from that annoying little man.

Well, go ahead, Switch it on, It'll help people keep their teeth well into their 40s

You might think about having that cleaned.

Oh, who has the time? How did you know with Molly?

Know what?

You were meant to be together.

She made the best shepherd's pie I ever tasted.

Don't you have a single romantic bone in your body?

No. I'm all bowler hat. Why do you waste your time on that crackpot?

Alexander Hartdegen: Because he has some very interesting ideas.

David Philby: A professor at Columbia should not be corresponding with a crazy German bookkeeper.

Alexander Hartdegen: He's a patent clerk, not a bookkeeper. I think Mr. Einstein deserves all the support I can give him.










Time Machine, The (2002)


Emma: Professor, you're shivering. I hope you're not coming down with something.










The Time Machine (2002)


Emma: You never cease to surprise me.

Alexander Hartdegen: Emma, I need to talk to you.

Emma: Shall we walk through the park?

(from internet transcript)


David Philby: My God. What's happened to you?

Alexander Hartdegen: I've been... I've been working. You remember that? You used to care about your work.

David Philby: I care more about my life. And yours. I came by the house every day after the funeral... and every week and every other month. Then I stopped coming. Did you even notice? It hurt me, Alex... very much.

Alexander Hartdegen: Then why are you here now?

David Philby: There are some things I have to say you may not like hearing...

Alexander Hartdegen: I know. I know. You're concerned. I know. I hear it from Mrs. Watchit every day. But really... I need you to go.

David Philby: I won't leave. Not with you hiding down here.

Alexander Hartdegen: I'm not hiding.

David Philby: You know that's what it is. Mrs. Watchit says you're in here all hours... day and night. Alex, will you please stand still and look at me! It wasn't your fault.

Alexander Hartdegen: No. It wasn't my fault. Maybe we should blame Mrs. Watchit for picking up the ring from the jeweller. Or the jeweller for making it. Or the poor bastard who tore the stone from the earth. Maybe I should blame you for introducing me to Emma in the first place. Yes.
