• [Bob is watching the Langoliers eat up the entire airport] 

  Bob Jenkins : Now we know, don't we?

  Laurel Stevenson : Know what? We know what?

  Bob Jenkins : We know what happens to today when it becomes yesterday. It waits for them. It waits for them, the timekeepers of eternity. Always following them behind, cleaning up the mess in the most efficient way possible: by eating it!

• Bob Jenkins : Let's say that every now and then a hole appears in the stream of time. Not a time-warm. A rip. A time rip. A rip in the central fabric.

  Don Gaffney : That's the craziest thing I ever heard of!

  Craig Toomy : Amen!

  Bob Jenkins : Mr. Gaffney, the situation we're in right now, this is crazy. So let's say that such rips do occur every now and then. It would be similar to rare weather phenomenons that are reported. Upside-down tornadoes, circular rainbows, daytime starlight.

  Captain Brian Engle : The aurora borealis.

  Bob Jenkins : [Bob looks to Brian in surprise]  What?

  Captain Brian Engle : There was an aurora borealis over the Mojavi Desert when we left LAX. We were supposed to fly right into it.

  Bob Jenkins : Then that's it. An auroa over the desert. That strengthens my point. If we were to fly into that, and it was a time-rip then that means we're no longer in our own time, ladies and gentlemen.

• Bob Jenkins : Now we know...

  Laurel Stevenson : We know what?

  Bob Jenkins : We know what happens to today when it becomes yesterday... It waits for them... the timekeepers of eternity!

• Albert Kaussner : You know something, don't you?

  Bob Jenkins : I might. But then I might not...

• Bob Jenkins : one of us is going to have stay awake when we fly trough the time riff to shut off the presure gage so brain can wake up in time to land the plane.
