Andrew Martin: Sir, is everything all right?
Sir: Umm. They've both gone now, Andrew. Well, things change, things always change. People move on. It's as it should be. But, what I realised today is that I'll never stop missing them.
Andrew Martin: Sir? One is still here.
Sir: And one is glad of that Andrew. Thank you.
Andrew Martin: Do you know what it feels like to be in love with someone that is about to marry someone else?
Little Miss: I have a friend who is very special to me. He's sweet and exceptionally intelligent, but, well - he's not really a - I mean, a relationship between us would be impossible. It would never, could never, work out.
Question: What year do you think it is when Andrew returns to the Martin family home and meets Portia, as well as the older Little Miss?
Question: Andrew was obviously 200 years old when he died. How old do you suppose Portia was when she passed away?
Answer: Between 125 to 150 years old, her life was extended by the artificial body parts developed by Rupert Burns. Andrew traveled the world for nearly 50 years before returning home, at which point Portia was about 25 years old.
50 years? I thought Little Miss said he had been gone for 20 years?
Question: Why does Miss (Grace) hate Andrew so much?
Answer: She's a smart ass, know-it-all. A delinquent who never grew. I have a sister who is the exact same way.
