"As I said, I couldn't simply drop it off at the museum the next morning.  After all, put yourself in the shoes of the curator, coming into the museum in the morning only to be met with a uniquely dressed individual holding one of the most famous and priceless jewels in the world.  Now imagine that amid your shock and anger at the diamond being stolen, this man claims to not only did he not steal it, he recovered it from the real crooks via time travel.  Such an explanation in that situation would not have been taken seriously.  So, I chose to wait a day, allow the footage of the true thieves to come out, and explain myself to an objective, open-minded member of the press."<br/><br/>He smiled warmly.<br/><br/>"That you also happen to be quite beautiful is a bonus, of course."
