Jenn: I thought if he died in someone else’s body, Ben died too.
Ian: He did die.
Jenn: But like, for real.
Ian: Okay, okay, all right. Everybody, shhhh. Obviously, we are dealing with a time loop.
Jenn: Obviously?

Jenn: It’s kind of weird, right? Janis is a step ahead of us every single time, and then when we finally catch her, Ben gets stuck in a time loop? What if this is a part of her plan?
Magic: You think she intentionally trapped Ben in a time loop? Why?
Jenn: I don’t know. Gain access to our headquarters, plant a virus, steal government secrets?
Magic: Well, she’s already done all that.

Ben: Why would anyone want to cancel a harmless energy recycling project?
Addison: Okay, why don’t we disarm the bomb first and ask twenty questions later, yeah?

Ben: My mistake was thinking I was in Groundhog Day when I was really in Rashomon all along.
Addison: Yeah, I’ve never seen it, but it is amazing that you could remember all of these plots to these movies but not that you love me for four leaps.
Ben: Sorry about that.

We all think we’re the hero of our story even when we’re the villain.

Ben

Great technology always falls in the wrong hands. One day, it’ll be the end of us all.

Wagner

If someone from the future leaped into 2023 to judge us, I hope we turn out to be the heroes of our story.

Ben
