"we're in a time bounce." "did you tell anyone?" "yes." "that's why they fired you." "you're stressed out. you have deja vu or vertigo." "there have laws against this. they can't fire you." "howard...up yours." "sorry, man." "dr. fredericks, please." "will you have her call barry thomas, extension 322?" "it's urgent." "lisa!" "lisa!" "your I.d., sir."

"do you believe me now?" "you'll have to come along to answer some questions." "he already gave a statement." "he didn't do anything." "he called me this morning to tell me about her murder." "do you want to go to jail, too?" "[thunder]" "this day's about to repeat." "no kidding. they're all about the same around here." "oh, my god." "but what if it doesn't?" "I want another chance!" "no more chances, man." "you're doing time now." "the time is 7:35." "o.k." "today I save her." "well, look who decided to show up." "you're right. if I wanted to be on time, I would." "I'll finish the personnel reports, complete the monthly billing, and clean off my desk by quitting time." "you don't want to fight or be my friend." "so why kick me out when I'm so damn cute?" "mm-hmm." "howard." "what?" "get rid of that stain." "that's good work, man." "you almost prevented her from talking entirely." "you don't remember a thing about yesterday, do you?" "we had some drinks." "I picked up the blonde after you left." "she blew you off. you went home. you watched batman." "you won't believe me, so just trust me." "I need to talk to dr. moxley." "he'll be here in 30 seconds." "first I have to talk to lisa." "when moxley gets here, keep him here. got it?" "dr. moxley's coming here." "how do you know that?" "trust me." "I know." "[zap]" "jack!" "lisa!" "the time bounce... yes?" "is a fascinating theory, don't you think?" "who are you?" "I'm barry...thomas." "you seem to know both our names very well." "I don't mean to sound forward, but I'm having lunch in the cafeteria at 12:30." "I hate meeting new, interesting, attractive people." "I'd rather eat alone, but if we have to, isn't it better to discuss how wonderful theory is and how disappointing the physical world can be?" "that's quite a qualified pickup line." "I've been working on it for two days now." "enjoy your very nice morning." "12:30. don't forget." "who's that?" "I have no idea." "cigarette?" "she doesn't smoke." "you've worked here, what, four years?" "pay attention." "how'd you know about moxley?" "moxley was already here?" "you made me look like an idiot." "you're off of technical staff." "I know all about it." "dr. moxley?" "joan, I need the isotope studies from dr. morgenrau." "john." "oh, yes." "hi." "if we're right, we disprove einstein." "that's pretty groundbreaking work." "it's been three years of my life." "are we supposed to break the law?" "some people would." "they told us to pull the plug, and we're pulling it." "don't make this more difficult." "o.k." "o.k." "I saw some coolant studies in the lab." "they look like yours." "I thought I brought them all back." "I'm sorry I snapped." "it's not about you." "forget it." "marilyn, do you have those papers?" "this afternoon soon enough?" "yeah, fine." "thank you." "[scraping]" "shut up." "I believe you wanted the string beans." "they're quite excellent today." "you are a very unusual person." "what do you do again?" "I used to work in personnel." "now I'm sort of trying to figure out my life." "you're changing jobs?" "no. the job is the same every morning." "I want to show you something." "look at the lunch line." "those two people are about to bump into each other." "and that woman there will sneak an olive off the salad bar." "see that guy..." "right there?" "he's going to sneeze." "ah-choo!" "o.k., you're psychic." "no. no, I'm just learning to appreciate the moment." "it seems to be all I have anymore." "do you believe in second chances?" "no. um, no, I don't." "what if-- what if the time bounce really happened and you had a second chance... to know someone, someone you watched from a distance and then got closer to?" "someone you talked to once and really got to know." "like what their favorite flower was." "like red roses." "well, you could have seen me buy them." "your ring?" "your sister gave you that ring." "joan sat there yesterday and told me." "she's supposed to be here today, but something happened." "she's not here." "I told her I had a lunch date." "this is very weird." "look, you're a scientist." "let's talk theory." "the time bounce must have hap-- oh, excuse me, dr. fredericks." "I've just had a complaint that mr. thomas was seen in your office this morning." "what?" "I was passing by and saw denk in your office." "he took something while you were-- if I'd known about this, I'd have fired him immediately." "I made a time map-- what were you doing in wing b?" "you go across the street and buy flowers and-- you're killed. you're shot." "I've seen it twice now." "you're fired. one hour to clean out your desk." "you're fired. get out." "goodbye." "your beeper's about to go off." "ohh... dr. fredericks, I am so sorry." "oh." "well..." "what a disappointment." "actually, I didn't hire him." "he was here when I came." "[beep beep beep]" "hey, sorry." "thanks, jack." "what happened?" "did she fire you?" "I need a yellow utility worker badge." "why?" "listen, man, I want to have children. o.k.?"

"I've got an air-conditioning repair for, uh, dr. specter." "yeah. right." "somebody's already here." "that's impossible." "they just called me 30 minutes ago." "I just got here." "we might have an illegal entry." "two minutes of your time, please." "what are you doing here?" "security." "the accelerator's going to be fired tonight." "impossible." "we're dismantling it." "because the seal's broken." "that's classified information." "someone is delaying you on purpose." "they sabotaged it so it can't be dismantled, so they can fire it tonight." "please check the computer." "if I am wrong," "I will be happy to throw myself out of your office." "please." "o.k." "please." "I should have clearance for this." "you see that?" "they're trying to keep the information hidden." "there's a file I don't use anymore-- mathematical theory that's still linked to the accelerator." "oh, my god." "I've been trying to tell you now for two days." "attention, we have a security alert for all science divisions." "please detain a worker with paperwork for dr. specter." "guess who." "I got to go." "I can explain it to them." "what are you going to say-- the day's repeating?" "it won't work." "I've tried it." "meet me at the front entrance at 6:00." "don't talk to anybody. 6:00." "we've got him." "code 4. section "b."" "heading into the mainway!" "hey, you're under arrest." "hey, stop!" "hold it, mister!" "hold it!" "hold it right there!" "hold it!" "hold it!" "buddy!" "he's in a brown four-door." "call the main gate." "[ring] yes?" "it's me." "we may have a problem." "fredericks is working with someone." "I don't know!" "I may need some help in this." "good." "when you find him, you know what to do." "all right." "o.k. um..." "I'll see you tomorrow." "stay there." "stay there, lisa." "no." "thank you." "oh... [tires squeal] no!" "oh, my god!" "[crowd shouting]" "I told you I'm not crazy." "let's go!" "call the police!" "don't move!" "you all right?" "I don't know." "oh, god." "what did you do after I left?" "what?" "what did you do?" "I copied the evidence against denk." "onto a disk?" "yeah." "have you got it?" "no." "I left my briefcase." "oh, god." "oh, god." "watch out!" "[air horn honks] aah!" "[gunshot]" "hold on!" "move it!" "back it up!" "get it out of there!" "we'd better call washington or the police we'd better call washington or the police or somebody." "there's no phone in there." "I'm sorry?" "my mom's idea. the old man brings his mobile anyway." "what?" "there's no phone, there's no disk." "what are we supposed to do, mail in a complaint?" "we have time." "we'll think of something." "aw, it's..." "it's beautiful." "you know, the last time I was in the woods," "I was 9 years old." "I was burying my pet canary, and I made a gravestone out of a paper plate." "and I wrote on it" ""fly to heaven."" "hmm." "I haven't told anyone that in... 20 years." "why do you remember?" "what makes you different from the rest of us?" "I don't know." "my memory's not that great anyway." "I don't know." "something happened to you, or you did something." "what... what did you do that first night?" "well, after you got shot..." "I got drunk." "came home." "I knocked a bunch of stuff over." "I collapsed in bed." "I woke up." "it was the same day." "you're missing something." "you drove through something unusual." "you were near metal or a chemical or hit by lightning." "I collapsed in bed, my clock said 12:01, and I got a shock." "my lamp was broken." "there were loose wires." "I tried to fix it, but I lit up like a christmas tree." "and then?" "then..." "it was morning." "there's a theory-- scott's theory has a corollary that says consciousness exists separate from the time bounce." "you could've gotten that bad shock when the first bounce happened." "it pushed you out of the loop just enough so you can remember." "I bet that's it!" "lucky me." "barry, I'm--I'm sorry." "no, no. it's..." "I mean, you saved my life." "self-interest." "I..." "I've been watching you out of my office for such a long time." "the other day, I gathered up the nerve to actually speak to you." "I made a fool out of myself." "but I thought, hey, I'll have another chance to speak to you someday." "but then you...well... we spoke?" "yeah." "yeah, we did." "how was I?" "great." "you were very nice." "you threw me out of your office." "I'm sorry." "I guess I was having a bad day." "that next morning when I saw you... alive..." "I realized I had a second chance-- a chance to save you." "I'm sorry." "hey, hey." "I'm not going to let you die again." "hi." "hi." "you know, I'm usually not this type of guy." "I'm supposed to say that." "what time is it?" "oh, my god." "it's 12:00." "we've got to do something." "there's no time." "quick. tell me what your favorite color is." "what?" "what's your favorite color?" "green." "favorite food." "smoked oysters." "favorite number." "37.1." "favorite music." "that's hard." "tell me." "what is it?" "the carpenters." "the carpenters." "you got to be kidding." "[thunder] lisa..." "I love you." "[beep beep] the time is 7:35." "please wake up." "[click]" "9:17--lisa's in corridor with denk." "lights cigarette." "[telephone rings] 9:25--denk goes through lisa's office." "12:30--lunch with lisa." "mom, I'll call you back." "the day's repeating." "1:00--lisa's beeper goes off." "1:40" "you're pathetic. that's not how you throw the ball." "what's wrong with you?" "[tires screech]" "well, look who decided to show up." "don't get your panties in a bunch." "if you left us alone, the work could get done, but you're so invasive that no one can concentrate." "stop assuming we're all idiots and don't judge people by how cute they are." "well... this is what I get for covering for you all these years." "thank you." "it might be time to look into your performance record." "you do that." "well, nice knowing you, barry." "excuse me. barry." "lisa." "I'm a little confused." "how do you know me?" "I know you like it compact without the crap, so here we go." "it'll sound impossible, but I'll support it with facts." "the time bounce has happened." "we've met before-- three times." "your favorite food is oysters." "your favorite number is 37.1." "your favorite music is the carpenters, even though you could do better." "denk has been illegally firing the accelerator." "you'll transfer that proof onto a computer disk." "here's where it gets a little sticky." "I've seen you shot, twice now." "but yesterday I was able to save you." "but the time bounce happens, and I wind up here, memory intact." "I'm the only one who remembers anything around here." "I made you a time map." "sit back and watch the day unfold." "it's 9:15 now." "lisa?" "thadius." "barry thomas?" "yes." "I've gotten your memos." "you, too, lisa. are we all losing assistants?" "actually, I-- you're two assistants are back on the computer." "they'll have their passes back by lunchtime." "dr. fredericks explained the whole thing to me." "I appreciate that, lisa." "dr. moxley, you look great on tv." "ann, dr. moxley's a very busy man." "he doesn't have the time to listen to you suck up." "it's sad." "if you ever have a problem, come to me personally, not to my low-level staff." "everything seems to be under control." "thank you, lisa." "I'll see you at the 9:30." "good day." "good day." "howard!" "look. over there." "see that?" "he's about to light his cigarette." "he's met you in the hallway these past mornings." "today he can't because you're here with me." "keep denk from finding out about the computer disk." "today I'll take all the information." "I...can't just accept this." "the epitaph on your canary's grave you made when you were 9 years old was on a paper plate, and it said," ""fly to heaven."" "[beep beep] [beep beep] [beep beep]" "oh, my god." "[telephone rings] personnel." "oh, yes, sir." "why, yes, they are." "excuse me?" "o.k." "I don't think so." "you trust me." "you may not realize it yet, but you trust me." "now, let's meet out by the front entrance in a half-hour." "o.k." "big daddy, that was great." "how did you do that?" "barry, I want you in my office immediately." "relax, ann." "I'm quitting." "something I should've done a long time ago." "no, no, no, barry." "dr. moxley just called." "you're under arrest." "well, what for?" "for stealing classified computer information." "come this way, please." "hey. howard" "marital status." "single." "and occupation." "I don't know." "what time is it?" "just put down unemployed." "at least it's not murder this time, right?" "social security number." "really, you should learn to type." "we may be doing this for years." "well, I could always start again in six hours." "hello. how are you?" "thomas. you made bail." "you guys got nothing on me." "it's a bum beef." "hey. there are second chances." "yes, sir." "that'll be fine." "how did you get the bail?" "don't even ask why I'm doing this." "I don't even know her." "you're not killed today!" "that's great news!" "barry, um... look, we... you really like me a lot." "you just can't remember it." "I'd love to stick around, but that would be a lie." "barry, call me when your insanity clears up." "close the door." "get in." "I don't mean to be realistic about this or anything, but shouldn't we call a professional to take care of this?" "howard..." "look, we got to think of something." "he's going to fire that thing tonight." "the police kept the computer disk." "then the police will take care of it." "it's out of their jurisdiction, and we don't have proof." "is there any way to get back into that building?" "yeah, I think so." "yeah." "the accelerator needs a two-hour warm-up period before it can fire." "that means he'd start it, uh, in three hours." "if we have security tape the lab through their surveillance cameras, we could get the proof we need to stop them." "pay the lady." "I don't have any money." "we had a lot more fun last night." "we did?" "we took a walk in the woods, we sat by a fire." "we sat by a fire?" "yeah." "are you saying that you--that we" "I mean, did you get lucky?" "oh, my god, you got lucky." "you got lucky, too." "it wasn't just me." "this is so strange." "I know, but it was also tremendous." "the earth moved." "ohh!" "want to step in the alley, please?" "let's go. you, too." "move." "over there." "these are the guys that have been killing you." "where are the other disks?" "who are you?" "shut up." "why don't you just leave-- listen to the question-- did you make any more disks?" "I'm not really a part of this." "shut up." "there's no reason to have me here." "shut up!" "there are no other disks." "barry, tell them I don't have anything to do with this." "any information I have would be useless." "I don't know anything." "oh, my god!" "hurry up!" "[pounding on door] help!" "check down there." "I'm sorry about your friend, barry." "I know you cared about him." "that's funny." "he said the same thing to me when you were killed." "nothing." "what?" "I didn't leave a light on." "lisa... thadius is in that house." "what?" "sorry I wasn't able to tell you this before, but six months ago, the justice department asked me to help them investigate thadius." "why are you investigating thadius?" "they suspected he'd broken safety regulations trying to get the accelerator up and running on budget." "what?" "he broke those seals to stop the dismantling." "moxley broke those seals?" "that's right." "we don't know what else he might do." "we better talk to him." "I don't think so." "I'm going to need you as material witnesses." "shall we?" "o.k." "[door opens] thadius, what are you doing?" "I'm sorry, thadius." "it's over." "thank god, lisa, you're all right." "thadius." "robert, you're not going to fire that accelerator tonight." "what are you talking about?" "your name is in the computers authorizing the firing sequence for tonight." "that's impossible." "dr. moxley, why are you in my house?" "I'd hoped to find another disk with the proof against him." "he crashed the mainframe computer before I could retrieve anything." "he's lying." "who were you waiting for?" "who were those two men in the truck?" "hello, ted?" "where the hell are your men?" "who are you talking to?" "don't move!" "I'm just, uh, taking off my coat, o.k.?" "[gunshot] thank god you made the right choice." "he set me up." "don't you understand?" "the accelerator is going to be a $50 billion industry in five years." "he doesn't care about you!" "thadius, you said" "I said what I had to." "sometimes you do what's wrong to do what's right." "I'm sorry." "no!" "oh!" "I truly am sorry." "the time is 7:35." "please wake up." "you bastard." "what kind of man are you?" "I can't believe it." "you shot her and him-- and me in cold blood!" "that's it, pal." "you're finished." "no more hamster wheel for me, you slimy... [honking]" "ohh!" "the time is 7:35." "please wake up." "[beep beep] please wake-- this cutting edge project by researchers in particle physics has been shut down by government order. hosea?" "mary, big news at utrel corporation." "researchers here working on particle physics believe they've discovered a way to accelerate" "[ring]" "[ring] hi, mom." "no, we haven't spoken in a while." "yes, I have met a girl." "I just don't think it's going to work out." "tell me, mom. what?" "what's all that matters?" "yeah?" "all that matters is how it feels?" "it does." "it...it feels right." "yeah, you said it." "nothing good comes easy." "mom, I'm--I'm running late, but I promise I'll call you later, o.k.?" "I love you, too." "bye, mom." "you're pathetic." "that's not how you throw the ball." "what's wrong with you?" "treat them with respect." "they are human beings." "you know, you're not such a bad guy when you get to know you." "what the hell are you doing?" "I know who you are." "you're helping the justice department catch moxley." "I want to blow him out of the water." "you want to help?" "morning." "morning." "come in." "robert, what is this?" "I've got a report." "you, uh..." "you better sit down." "barry here has something to tell you." "the time bounce has happened." "excuse me?" "the time bounce." "we're in it." "the earth has stopped as we know it." "children don't grow up, people don't stay dead, we'll never have another holiday, and you'll never see another flower bloom." "what are you talking about?" "and I've fallen in love with a beautiful young lady, and, so far, I could only see her for a few hours, and it breaks my heart to meet her every morning a stranger." "see, I want her every day." "I want her to grow old with me." "that's why life is so precious-- because time passes." "who is this... who's this girl?" "37.1... oysters." "green." "the carpenters... fly to heaven." "all right, look." "we play the day as normal." "when he goes to warm up the accelerator tonight," "I'll call for backup, you two will be out." "if I wake up tomorrow, and it's today, I'll kill myself." "look who decided to show up." "I am robert denk." "this is dr. fredericks." "I knew that." "what a pleasure it is-- we need more men like barry." "he's an excellent worker." "treat him accordingly." "sorry?" "barry, I'd like that evaluation report of miss jackson on my desk by noon." "evaluation?" "we are like this." "hey!" "howard, you're alive." "I wasn't in the bathroom that long, was I?" "ohh!" "sorry, sorry." "careful, guys." "oh!" "ohh!" "oh, jack, I'm so sorry." "this is a terrible embarrassment for me." "we told them we're safe, and now we can't dismantle the core for two weeks." "no one was hurt." "the radiation's contained in the core." "I think people understand." "better double-check on those seals." "thank you, lisa." "thadius, I take full responsibility." "I'll get a cleanup crew, and I'll deal with the press immediately." "well..." "I admire your attitudes." "dr. moxley?" "no disturbances." "thank you." "I know an individual who really loves red roses." "may I?" "señorita." "hi, reynaldo." "I got it." "really?" "yeah." "it's my pleasure." "[car door opens] hey, what the hell do you-- [muffled gunshot]" "[music plays on radio] thank you." "are you aware that coffee is one of the five all-time great smells in the world?" "no." "well, it is." "then you have home-baked sourdough bread, opening day at wrigley field... new shoes... fresh roses... rain." "your perfume." "um, I don't know what's happened the other days, but we have to take it a little slower this time, o.k.?" "it's too late for that." "I've died for you already." "I got to get used to this." "it'll work out, you know?" "it already has." "and now for the local news." "a man identified as robert denk, a research scientist at utrel corporation, was found murdered this evening." "the victim was discovered... moxley hasn't changed the codes." "is that good or bad?" "I don't know." "dr. fredericks?" "yes." "you must be barry thomas. hello." "I have to ask you to step inside." "you're wanted in connection with dr. denk's murder." "dr. moxley's orders." "listen, fellas, it has been a really tough week." "it has been all tuesdays." "sir" " I've already been killed today." "sir, I understand." "stop giving me a hard time." "I'm going to have to make sure you're fired." "don't think I can't." "I'm in personnel." "[alarm sounds] please give her the gun. please." "you guys don't seem to get it." "I wake up every morning clutching the pillow, and it's not lisa, and jack still gets hit with the coffee." "so I'm afraid you're going to have to step inside." "go--now--move it-- 1, 2, 3, let's go." "so much for the surprise visit." "[beeping] how about a little something special at 11:59?" "o.k." "hold it." "give me the gun." "thadius, you can't fire the accelerator." "why are you trying to stop me?" "the time bounce has happened." "what they're asking me to do is wrong." "the time bounce, it's real." "go ahead." "15 years ago, they stopped work on my superconductor." "10 years to design a phase-gravitational field." "the germans beat me by a month." "now they're going to dismantle my accelerator before it has a chance-- it doesn't work!" "I have no more time." "thadius, it doesn't work." "get up there." "go on." "go on." "is there an abort switch on that thing?" "there's a yellow button." "please don't." "barry!" "are you o.k.?" "oh, my god." "ahh!" "that's all right." "hey, doc, tomorrow I may shoot you first." "I'll just keep coming back till I get it right." "[alarm sounds] got you a little surprise, doc." "warning--power fluctuation now at 30%." "did it abort?" "no." "any way to stop it?" "no. he disconnected it." "damn it!" "damn it, get away from there!" "no!" "aah!" "I can't get it!" "I'll get it." "there's not enough time." "we'll never make it." "we'll make it." "we have to make it." "no more second chances." "ohh!" "aah!" "no!" "my god." "lisa, I love you." "[beep]" "it's wednesday." "it's wednesday." "don't move!" "don't move!" "yes, sir." "this man's been shot." "call an ambulance." "who are you?" "I'm dr. fredericks." "dr. moxley tried to fire the accelerator illegally." "he tried to kill us." "that's not what we were told." "you're under arrest." "we have proof!" "put the cuffs on them." "read them their rights." "we're under arrest." "how about that?" "we're under arrest." "every minute will be brand-new." "we'll never know what will happen next." "I know what will happen next." "you do?"
