  • Wells, freshly arrived to 1979 San Francisco, goes to McDonald's for lunch. He listens to the gruff blue collar worker ahead of his give an order, then mimicks that man down to the gruff accent... all before stopping himself at the drink order and switching to his British Accent for "A cup of tea".
    • (rubs his hand all over the Formica table) "I never saw wood like this before."
    • And figuring out what French Fries are.
  • Wells asks a cab driver to take him to the Hyatt as quickly as possible. The driver does.
  • The whole date between Amy and Wells.
    Amy (having just disassembled Wells' collar): "Is the rest of your outfit this interesting?"
  • Asked for his name Wells knows not to give his own, having landed in a museum exhibit of his life, so instead he gives the name of a magazine serial character. Unfortunately the magazine is the Strand and the character is Sherlock Holmes.
  • Wells studying a picture of himself in old age; "Never!"
  • Wells confronts Stevenson at a hotel room, and during the conversation Stevenson tries to get Wells to watch the evening news with him by patting the side of the bed as though telling Wells "It's okay, I won't kill you right at this moment."
