Those lunatics
The protagonist is like a madman, but it’s good to be such a madman.
I think of Judy Foster in "Time and Time Contact", persistently insisting on his own affairs to the end, even though no one believes in all of this, all the way is lonely. He was ridiculed by a group of people who thought... -

so far, so close
Lazy hands, the introduction copy is reading Lan Yingnian's book of the same name "So Far, So Close" and inscription:
What makes us stand still is because everything is still unknown,

[Jeff approaches Kenneth's house. He clearly has not done enough research, and acts like a smiling, bobbing idiot]
Jeff: Kenneth Calloway, right? Is that right? My name is Jeff.
[He extends a hand to shake, which Kenneth ignores. Jeff is grinning too much]
Jeff: Look, I saw your ad in the, uh, Classifieds. I want to know if you need a partner.
Kenneth: What's your mission?
Jeff: What do you mean, what's my mission?
Kenneth: What's your reason for going back?
[Jeff has changed from smiling maniacally to frowning]
Jeff: Oh, well, who wouldn't want to go back? It's an amazing opportunity. To go back in time, you know? See gladiators, and watch dinosaurs with my own eyes. Have sex with a pilgrim? That's all I wanted. I want to go back. It's neat. Who wouldn't want to go back, Kenneth? YOU want to go back. Why do YOU want to go back? Well, do you need a partner?
Kenneth: Can you look fear and danger in the eye?
Jeff: That's an odd question.
Kenneth: Have you ever stared fear and danger in the eye and said YES.
Jeff: Sure.
Kenneth: Get off my porch.
Jeff: Let's start over. Come on, we can be pals. Let's go back in time.
Kenneth: Man, that smile. What is that smile? You don't know pain, you don't know regret, you don't know...
Jeff: [agreeing with everything and leaving with his arms raised] Okay. Well, look, it was really nice to meet you.
Kenneth: [grimly] That's what I thought.

[Jeff joins Darius and Arnau in the car after a badly-managed interview with Kenneth]
Jeff: Huhh!
Darius: So what'd he say?
Jeff: Well, he's the real deal. That ad is no prank. He's not, like, retarded, but there's something wrong with this guy. Definitely didn't like my ass, I'll tell you that.
Arnau: So, so what; that's it?
Jeff: Oh, no. This just got good.
