You’re asking me to do nothing. I’m not good at that.
Hannah
Our future is just someone else’s past, isn’t it?
Tom
Ben: This is my life. I can’t get home. I just keep leaping. And I meet all these amazing people through time, but I never see them again.
Hannah: Except me. You don’t really think this is the last time you’re going to see me, do you?
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?
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.’
Mind if I fix myself a drink? It’s not everyday someone tries to kill me.
Hannah
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
