Wednesdays 10:00 PM on NBCQuantum Leap Season 1 Quotes
Addison: Maybe the universe wants you to finally get a good night’s sleep?
Ben: In here? Good one, universe.
Ben: Leo, I know how hard it can be to have hope. Hope that things will get better. Hope that you’ll get a fair shot at life, but it is helpful to have hope, even if you can’t see it.
Leo: I don’t believe in anything I can’t see.
Ben: Have you ever heard how plants grow more if you play them music?
Leo: What?
Ben: It’s true. The sound waves stimulate the plant cells which allow for the nutrients to move around the plant, promoting more growth. Can’t see the music, but you can feel it. And allowing yourself to feel hope helps. It helps you to see that things can change and sometimes that change is for the better.
Ben: I really wish there was something I could do.
Jenn: There is. We got Marty McFly’s almanac.
Ben: Huh?
Jenn: Just give her the fifty bucks in your pocket and write this down.
Addison: Ben needs you.
Jenn: Yeah, that’s not my job description. Besides, I’m terrible at all that emotional support and positive reinforcement stuff.
Stand strong in there. Juries are quick to judge women, especially young ones like us. So you really have to own that space.

Addison: Jenn, you are the only person here that has experience in a courtroom.
Jenn: When I was on trial!
We all feel a deep responsibility to those we love. I know I do. I would travel to the end of time for the people I love. I strive to see them succeed, and when they hurt, I hurt.
Ben
Ben: I thought I leapt into the middle of a war. Where am I?
Addison: Uh, we still don’t know. Ziggy’s…
Ben: Ziggy’s running slow. Yeah, if I ever started a band, that’s what I’m naming it.
Augustine: There’s an old hymn. ‘Set the walls around your heart. Build them strong with stone.’ Augustine & Addison: ‘And do what must be done.’
Addison: He used to say that to me when I was a kid. When I was really scared.
Men, there is no such thing as peace, only pauses between wars…. And in those pauses, hundreds of skirmishes that never make the papers…. We are the tip of the spear. We protect the greatest nation in the history of history. Let that honor sink in. Let that honor be your guide.
Captain Drake
Magic: Jenn, Ben is sailing into a minefield.
Jenn: A minefield? Wait a minute, that’s great!
Magic: Great? Why’s that great?
