"You gotta wake up.!" "[ Ziggy ] He has suffered a blow from a blunt instrument to the right lobe ofhis cranium, which has generated a concussion, which induced an unconscious state, Put her down, please!" "which will terminate in 8.7 minutes." "Unfortunately, Admiral Calavicci will terminate in 5.2 minutes... when he drives a 1 94 1 Olds convertible off Lover's Leap." "How can he drive when he's unconscious?" "Excellent point, Doctor." "Clifford must push the car over." "Brilliant, Ziggy." "Brilliant." "Come on, Al." "You gotta wake up." "[ Ziggy ] I just explained, Doctor." "Admiral Calavicci cannot regain consciousness for another 8.7" "Damn it, Ziggy!" "Tell me something I don't know!" "Tina's having an affair with Gooshie." "A way to save Al and Suzanne." "Stop Clifford from pushing the car over the cliff." "How?" "He's in 1 945." "I'm in 1 999." "I didn't say it was easy." "I'm sorry, Al." "I should be lying there, not you." "Gooshie!" "Activate the accelerator chamber." "Set it forJune 1 5, 1 945." "What?" "Do it." "Tina, get me a fermi suit." "Now, Tina!" "Ziggy, how much time before Al dies?" "Set the accelerator chamber" "[ Ziggy ] 1.6 minutes." "Mm, great legs, Doctor." "Sam, what are you doing?" "Trying to save Al." "How?" "By leaping into him." "What?" "Donna, four years ago, my first leap was target-less, subject to a whim of fate." "Since then, I think my subconscious has been working on the problem... because I now know how to hit the bull's-eye." "I can leap into Al." "[ Gooshie ] Let me know when alignment is in phase." "Thank you." "He'll leap back into the imaging chamber where he was when the lightning strike simul-leaped us, and I'll leap into 1 945 where I can stop Clifford." "Forty-five is eight years before you were born." "You can't leap earlier than your own lifetime." "When we simul-leap, some of our neurons and mesons obviously merged." "Part of me is Al." " One minute and counting." " How will you get back?" "Use the retrieval program." "It didn't work the first time you leaped." "I've updated it." "Ziggy, what are the odds of retrieving Dr. Beckett?" "9.6 percent." "Donna." "Donna." "I can't let him die." "And I can't let you go." "Not when you've just come back to me." "How many times has Al saved my life?" "[ Ziggy ] Twenty-three." "I don't care!" "It isn't fair, Sam." "It just isn't fair." "I know." "Please don't leave me again." "I don't think I could stand it if you left me again." "[ Ziggy ] Thirty seconds." "[ Exhales ]" "Twenty-nine, 28, 2 7" "Go." "What?" "Twenty-six- Go." "Twenty-five- I'll be back." "I swear to God I'll be back." "Twenty-four, 23" "Sam, I love you." "Twenty-two, 2 1" "I love you too." "Twenty seconds." "Nineteen" "Eleven." "Ten seconds." "Nine- Synchotron on line." "Affirmative." "[ Gooshie ] Stand by to fire.!" "[ Ziggy ] Seven- Fire.!" "Six- Fire.!" "Five, four" "[ Grunts ]" "[ Clifford Screaming ]" "[ Thud ]" "[ Groaning ] Al, honey." "Are you okay?" "Am I okay?" "I'll tell you about it later." "When we're in bed." "Oh, Al." "[ Giggles ]" "Ready to retrieve." "Ready." "Retrieving." "Gooshie?" "Gooshie, come on!" "This is" " He leaped." " When?" "Just after that girl Suzanne regained consciousness." "And where is he now?" "Oh, he's a stand-up comic playing the Catskills in 1 956." "Does he remember me?" "Oh, no." "No." "He doesn't even remember him and me leaping together." "So he doesn't remember coming home?" "No." "No." "Why does Ziggy think Sam leaped into this stand-up comic?" "Oh, um, well, there's a little girl... that's being torn apart by a divorce." "So Sam is there to put this comic and his wife back together?" "No, not exactly." "He's there to put the comic with this waitress... so that the two of them could raise the little girl." "Can he do it?" "Oh, sure." "Yeah." "The waitress is" "She's nuts about him." "I mean" " Um" "I know exactly what you mean." "Sam couldn't do what he has to do if he remembered us." "You'll tell him nothing, Al." "He came back to me once." "He'll come back again." "You're an amazing woman." "1 956." "Ziggy?" "Yes, Dr. Eleese?" "Locate a star 43 light-years from Earth." "Talitha in Ursa Major." "A white star, 1.7 in magnitude." "Right ascension:" "eight hours, 59.2 minutes." "Declination:" "48 degrees, two minutes." "It's there." "I love you, Sam."
