"These wires here," Dr. Sommers said, motioning to some wire in Rosemary's car's engine with his flashlight, "are the ones we have to detach and plug into that," he pointed to a arcade game-looking metal box standing besides them, "and then we have to find a way to connect the actual motor to the time machine."
Adeline looked over to the box, "I was expecting a DeLorean and I got an arcade game."
"There's not even a flux capacitor," Levi chuckled.
The Sommers looked at them with puzzled looks on their faces.
"What the hell are you guys talking about?" Dewey asked, another cigar dangling from his mouth.
Adeline sighed. She had forgotton one downside to staying was that nobody would understand her references, "There was this movie, well, actually, three movies counting the sequels.. right?"
"I think so," Levi shrugged.
"Anyways, it was about time travel and the machine was made out of a car called a DeLorean and the thing that made the whole thing work was a flux capacitor, and basically when the car hit 88mph it wo-"
"All I asked was what you were talking about," Dewey interrupted, "I don't need a movie review."
"Fair enough." Adeline said.
"It sounds amazing," Rosemary smiled.
"It is pretty good." Adeline replied, "Obviously, they got it wrong, though."
Levi nodded as he eyed the box nervously, "So, all five of us are supposed to fit in that?"
"No, no, no," Rosemary laughed, as if the answer was obvious, "Dad will type in the date and location of wherever you last were and you will go one at a time."
"Oh, ok," Levi said, not reassured in the slightest, "and how will you set the dates and locations, Dr. Sommers?"
"With the keypad on the dashboard," Dr. Sommers said, patting the machine, "The mechanics are stored under it and behind it is a small space for a person to sit."
"That's cool," Adeline said, "Let's get to work, then. We only have so much daylight left!"
