Quotes

Hurricane - August 17, 1969

Quantum Leap

Edit
  • Admiral Al Calavicci: I can never figure out, when life is so short, how we always find time to argue. You'd think that we would look at the good things around us.
  • Dr. Sam Beckett: Carpe diem.
  • Admiral Al Calavicci: Seize the day.
  • Admiral Al Calavicci, Dr. Sam Beckett: [together] And that's the way it should be.
  • [Sam is Deputy Sheriff Archie, who is caught up in a hurricane]
  • Dr. Sam Beckett: [voice-over] Strangely enough, the thought of being in a hurricane was somehow comforting and familiar. I guess that's because every time I leap, I feel that strange, unseen forces hurl me wherever they want to, and there is nothing I can do to stop them. So that for me, life, like storms, is unpredictable.
  • Mr. Deever: Y-you know, er, if you could make the earth spin the other way, er, you could unwind hurricanes.
  • Cissy Davis: Ever since I was a little kid, I, I always felt so charged up whenever there was a-a thunderstorm or somethin'. I just feel... more alive!
  • Dr. Sam Beckett: Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound...
  • Cissy Davis: Yeah.
  • Dr. Sam Beckett: Move mountains; right wrongs; travel through time; grow ten feet tall and run forever.
  • Cissy Davis: Yes!
  • Joe Deever: You know what the three worst words in the English language are? "Let's be friends."
  • Cissy Davis: [about an old couple] Can you believe that? They got married after only two weeks.
  • Dr. Sam Beckett: Yeah.
  • Cissy Davis: Do you marry someone after only a couple weeks?
  • Dr. Sam Beckett: If it was the right someone, I'd marry 'em after a couple of hours.
  • Cissy Davis: [to Sam] Next to Boface, you're the male I love most.
  • Admiral Al Calavicci: How do you feel about holograms?
  • Dr. Sam Beckett: [voice-over] I couldn't help but wonder if maybe I shouldn't have tried harder to make Lisa stay. She seemed so lost and confused, but at the same time oddly determined. Whatever Lisa felt for Archie was too strong to let it rest, and not even a hurricane could stop her.
