At the Potomac Club, Corrigan and Whittaker discuss the possibility of traveling back in time to the night before the stock market crash and selling out their securities.
Whittaker: Let's say, Corrigan that you go back in time. It's October 1929, the day before the stock market crashed. Now, you know that on the following morning securities are going to tumble into an abyss. Now, using this prior knowledge, there's a hundred things you could do to protect yourself.
Corrigan: But I'd be an anachronism. I really don't belong back there.
Whittaker: You could sell out the day before the crash.
Corrigan: But what if I did, and started the crash earlier?
Whittaker: Now, history tells us that October 24, 1929, the bottom fell out of the stock market. That's a fixed date. It exists as an event in the history of our times. It can't be altered.
