Man with scar: Do you have anything about the first people?
Emily: What’s that, sorry?
Man with scar: The first people who came.
Emily: I…
Man with scar: To England. The first people who came over.
Emily: Oh I see. You could have a look downstairs, we have a British prehistory section.
Man with scar: Do you know how many came, the first time?
Emily: I’m not exactly sure.
Man with scar: Can’t have been just one man, can it? It must have been a group.
Emily: Yes, a tribe, perhaps.
Man with scar: But not many.
Emily: No, I suppose not many.
Man with scar: Was there a time when there weren’t any people here?
Emily: There must have been.
Man with scar: Amazing.
Emily: Yes.
