Quantum Leap
Wednesdays 10:00 PM on NBCQuantum Leap Season 2 Episode 6: "Secret History" Quotes
Officer: Mister McCoy?
Ben: You can address me as Sergeant. I earned that distinction after serving in Normandy. Where did you serve?
Jenn: Dairy Queen. Apparently.
Ben: What are the odds of me crossing paths with the same person in two different leaps?
Jenn: I mean, I’m not Ian, so I don’t have a weirdly exact number for you, but I’d say the odds are crazy slim. Maybe the accelerator just decided you needed a friend.
Soviet spies have been circling this project for quite some time. I don’t have to tell you that if the Soviets find that formula, they will gain limitless power overnight and the United States will be, quite literally, left in the dark.
Donovan
Lawrence was my friend, and Einstein has been my obsession. If that formula is here, I’ll find it.
Ben
NAS fellow: You can’t do that. Fellows only.
Hannah: Relax, I just saved you a day’s work.
Ben: What was that about?
Hannah: NAS Fellowships. It’s a total boys’ club. They sit around all day, pretending to be brilliant and collect fat research grants.
Jenn: Is anybody else’s brain melting with the possibilities here? I mean, if Ben discovers the secret to fusion in 1955, won’t that massively change the course of the twentieth century?
Addison: No more gas pumps. No more global warming.
Jenn: Magic picked a hell of a day to take off. This is the butterfly effect to end all butterfly effects. Our cars are going to be flying by the time this is over.
Addison: When I lost Ben, hearing about your grieving process really helped me with my own. But since we’ve been together, you’ve stopped talking about Kate. I want you to know that you can, especially when you’re walking around the place where you two met.
Tom: I appreciate that. But if I don’t, it’s just because we’re on mission and it doesn’t help me to focus on the past right now.
Mind if I fix myself a drink? It’s not everyday someone tries to kill me.
Hannah
Hannah: Read me something from the journal.
Ben: Okay. Well, Al was wrestling with some premonitions. ‘Mankind’s innovation, absent of conscience, only brings us closer to catastrophe.’
Ben: Agent Robert Cook! He’s the one that told you to come here. You met him in a diner and you talked about Einstein and angular momentum and yoyos. And you helped him save a young girl. And you told him not to say goodbye just see you later.
Hannah: How do you know all that?
Ben: I know it the same way I know what will happen to you if you leave here with that formula. I’m a time traveler.
Hannah: Woah. A guardian angel sent from the future? That’s gotta be the most, the most romantic bit of physics I’ve ever heard.
Ben: That’s it? You’re on board with the time traveler thing?
You’re asking me to do nothing. I’m not good at that.
Hannah
