Cultural Identity in a Historical Context
Lord Oliver:
Who speaks for you?
Marek:
I do, my lord.
Lord Oliver:
You speak strangely.
Marek:
Yes. We are Scottish, my lord.
Lord Oliver:
Scottish? (in Scottish accent) You've come to kill us all in our beds, eh? (goes back to original English accent) First the old man and now this group. Why do the Scottish find this village so pleasing?

Need for Cultural Experts in Time Travel
Doniger:
Yeah, yeah, look. We need cultural experts, not scientists. My people simply don't know about the medieval world, or how to mingle with the locals, which is what we're gonna have to do, if we're going to find the professor and bring him back.
Marek:
So that's it? We just step on that machine and whiz back to 1357?

Are you, uh... married?

Of course. Are you, uh... with... anyone?
Lady Claire:
Am I with anyone?
Marek:
Yeah.
Lady Claire:
I'm with you.
Marek:
I know, I know. What I mean is, is there, is there someone, is there someone... that you see?
Lady Claire:
Do I see?
Marek:
Yeah.
Lady Claire: [looks towards the river bank]
Uh, nobody... It is possible they are hiding on the shore or... in the woods. They could be anywhere.

The way I see it, we've got what... we've got 650 years of knowledge on these guys. If we put our heads together, there's no reason why we shouldn't be able to get out of here and home in twenty minutes.
