Whenever
by Alan Ayckbourn
EMILY: (Looking about her) Where are we now? I think we have moved forward again. I cannot make this Machine go backwards. Uncle Martin was right. (Aware of Oscar) Oscar? Are you hurt! Oscar!
OSCAR: (Emerging) Where are we?
EMILY: I am uncertain. Somewhere in the future, I presume…
OSCAR: I don’t believe it. You mean we’ve – we’ve actually travelled – through time? It was all true?
EMILY: Of course. I told you, Oscar.
OSCAR: (Laughing a little hysterically) Sorry, I’m – I’m having a bit of a problem with this. I am standing here in the future, right? In my own future?
EMILY: Both our futures.
Gizmo

CEVRIL: What happened to you, then? Been in a fight?
BEN: It’s – rather a long story.
CEVRIL: (Shrugging.) I’ve got nothing else to do.
BEN: I witnessed a fight. Or rather witnessed a killing. Two killings.
CEVRIL: (Not over-impressed. ) I see.
BEN: I – I was left paralysed.
CEVRIL: What? A bullet, was it?
BEN: No. Just in my mind. Do you understand? (CEVRIL studies him.)
Nicholas Nickleby
by Charles Dickens
TILDA: Well, Fanny, you see I have come to see you, although we had words last night.
FANNY: I pity your bad passions, Tilda, but I bear no malice. I am above it.
TILDA: Don’t be cross, Fanny. I have come to tell you something that I know will please you.
FANNY: (Pretending to be disinterested) What may that be, Tilda?
TILDA: This… after we left here last night, John and I had a dreadful quarrel.
