Quotes of Movie: "Quantum Leap" [1989]

  • Narrator:
    Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Doctor Sam Beckett led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM LEAP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Beckett, prematurely stepped into the Project Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own time was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al, the Project Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Beckett could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, putting things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next leap will be the leap home.

    I'm in a soap opera!

  • Al:
    Don't do anything I wouldn't do. And if you do, take pictures.

  • Sam:
    It all started when a time travel experiment I was conducting went... a little ka-ka. In the blink of a cosmic clock I went from quantum physicist to air force test pilot. Which could have been fun... if I knew how to fly. Fortunately, I had help. An observer from the project named Al. Unfortunately, Al's a hologram, so all he can lend is moral support. Anyway, here I am. Bouncing around in time, putting things right which once went wrong. A sort of time traveling Lone Ranger, with Al as my Tonto. And I don't even need a mask. Oh boy.

    I'm running track, Al.



    Al:
    Oh, well look, you pump your arms and you pump your legs and drive through the tape.



    Sam:
    You were a runner too?



    Al:
    No, but it sounds good, doesn't it?

  • Al:
    Their only desire is for you to pamper them, and play with their...



    Sam:
    Al!



    Al:
    With their hair! Their hair!

  • Al:
    We're making preparations for Tina's birthday party and she wants me to pop out of the cake. You'll never believe what she wants me not to wear.

  • Al:
    What about the Quantum Rules? You have to at least pretend that you are who you leap into.



    Sam:
    That's if I'm a human. I'm not a human, I'm a chimp. We don't have rules for chimps, do we?



    Al:
    You can't get off on a technicality.

    I bet a lot people ask themselves that question.

  • Well we'd just seen Gerry. I think he wanted somebody who had that authority and was handsome. The thing is, he's a big hunk isn't he? All I can say, if you look at his chat line, or the Phantom website, it's quite worrying. Because the girls really seem to love him. (Andrew Lloyd Webber)
