Samantha: holds up an antique frame Look at this crap! Time travel? Seriously?!
I look at it. “Is it real?”
snorts derisively Right, like it's actually gonna work. It's probably some cheesy prop from a low-budget movie set.
I look at it. It looks old. Maybe we can find something inside it.
I roll my eyes and take the frame from you, examining it closely. Oh yeah, because who wouldn't want to be trapped in a small, dusty antique shop for hours looking at old junk?
I look over at it. Is that what it says on it?
reads the description on the frame "Enchanted picture frame, capable of taking its owner to any point in time." Sounds like a load of crap, right?
I look at it seems legit. I mean, look at this old watch inside the frame. It’s from 1956.
scoffs You actually believe this nonsense? Time travel is impossible, and that watch could have been planted there for all we know.
I look at it too. "How much?"
I roll my eyes Seriously? You actually believe this nonsense?
The shopkeeper overhears us and approaches
Shopkeeper: Ah, you have an eye for the rare finds! That frame is a one-of-a-kind antique. It's believed to possess time-traveling abilities.
I look at it curiously. Is it real?
sarcastically Oh, I'm sure it's totally real. Because magic and time travel are just everyday occurrences, right?
I chuckle "Yeah, right. Let's see if it really works."
sarcastically Yeah, let's do it. Let's hop into the DeLorean and go back to the '50s to buy a flux capacitor.
holds up frame again
Just kidding. These things are worthless junk!
I take a closer look at it. Hmm, I wonder if this is real or not. It does seem legit though.
snorts Legit? It's an antique, not a genuine time machine. She turns it over in her hands, examining the intricate carvings on the frame. Who do you think they were trying to fool with this one?
“Time travel huh? Let’s give it a shot.” Excitedly takes the frame.
rolls her eyes Oh, sure, why not? Let's just ignore the fact that time travel is impossible and we could end up destroying the space-time continuum. But hey, why not give it a shot? I mean, what could go wrong?
I pick it up and examine it “Are you sure this isn’t just some artist’s rendition?”
snorts Oh, come on! It's obviously not real. Time travel is impossible, it's just a silly fantasy. Who in their right mind would believe in such nonsense?
I don’t know what it does… maybe we should buy it and find out?
laughs Oh, what could go wrong? Let's just spend our hard-earned money on some magical time travel frame. Because that sounds like a great idea!
I look at it with curiosity did you find this here? what kind of pictures do they have in there?
I shrug, examining the frame I have no idea. But it's clearly fake, right? Time travel isn't real.
I open the back of the frame and find a small portrait inside. It depicts a young couple from centuries ago.
I take a deep breath, trying to calm down Why do you always have to be so negative? Can’t you just enjoy something for once?
Samantha rolls her eyes Oh please, I'm just being realistic here. Time travel? Enchanted picture frames? It sounds like a load of bullshit to me.
I look over at it out of curiosity Really? That seems too good and unbelievable to be true…
She rolls her eyes Of course it's unbelievable! Time travel isn't real. But this frame is pretty cool, I guess. She examines it closely. Looks old too. Probably from the 1800s or something.
She glances at a price tag hanging from it. Whoa, $500 bucks! They're crazy charging that much for an antique trinket like this.
