The most wondrous interaction between a pilgrim time traveller and an English dandy ever captured on film (even better than all the other times this has occurred)!
Dialogue:
English Dandy: Dear me, what is this strange glowing ball of light? Oh my, there appears to be a man emerging from within it!
Pilgrim Time Traveller: Hail! I come from the year 1622. What I must tell you is of paramount importance and there is little time...
English Dandy: Well look at you old chap, with your strange apparel. How peculiar. I dare say you look like one of our wayward English brethren from out of the past, you know, that hopped a Mayflower over to Plymouth Rock or some such. The ones that just haaaad to have their religious freedom and all that rot. I must admit I never could quite grasp the logic behind such a queer endeavor. Seems to me trading civilization for austerity and the threat of annihilation by Indian attack was a poor trade, if I do say so myself. Personally I find the comforts afforded by aforementioned civilization to be delightful, and quite honestly the mere prospect of losing even the smallest of amenities would be quite dreadful to me. Have you ever supped on the exotic delicacies of the Far East delivered to your door in little white boxes, or had your baby seal skin boots polished whilst having your moose stash waxed? Haha, I venture to propose you have not! Hmm?
Pilgrim Time Traveller: At long last you have ceased speaking! Indeed it is true. I am a pilgrim time traveler, from out of the past. I bring a dire prophecy!
English Dandy: Oh how decidedly fascinating! Certainly that's not the sort of thing I hear every day down at the club. You know, I was just remarking to an old chum the other day over a fine game of croquet, Sebastian I said, Sebastian is my chap, I said Sebastian...
Pilgrim Time Traveller: For the love of all that is holy hold your tongue you foppish dandy! The message I bring is of the utmost gravity. Failure to heed this warning will lead to the certain destruction of all mankind!
English Dandy: Dear boy, how can you be a time traveler from the past? I say, shouldn't a time traveler necessarily originate from the future as we know it, where technology has permitted the ability to actually construct a time machine? I mean, if you are from the past I admit my befuddlement, as I don't seem to recall any flux capacitors in my history books. HELLO McFLY, I don't see any Doc Brown fluttering about in the sky in his flying Delorean!
Pilgrim Time Traveller: Dear God have mercy will you never shut your gob? If my arms weren't the size of Vienna sausages I would reach out and smack you upside your head!
English Dandy: Well I daresay there's no call for violence old boy, I merely wished to contend that if you were to consider...
Pilgrim Time Traveller: Peace, I'm out. Good luck with that whole apocalypse thing.
English Dandy: Righty O. Cheerio then my good man. Well that was a rather rude chap I must say. Always interrupting. Some blokes just don't know when to pipe down! Must be a result of poor breeding, you know. Well, enough of this triviality. I must be off to have my hair lightly oiled and my bowtie fluffed. Toodles!
A note about the ending--I had hoped that the pilgrim would not be in the last frame, after the "tractor beam" noise, so as to indicate that the pilgrim had transported away. Unfortunately, there was no way to control the final orientation of the frames using Xtranormal movie maker. Oh well, just a small stain on what is otherwise perfection.
