Quotes 

• 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.

• Nick Hopewell : Shut up!

  [kicking C. Toomey] 

  Laurel Stevenson : Stop it!

  Don Gaffney : Hey. What'dya hafta do that for?

  Nick Hopewell : Now, listen to me... You need waking up, fellows and girls, and I haven't got the time to do this gently! Dinah says something's coming towards us, rather nasty and a rate of knots, and I, for one, believe her! Now, having a knowledge of what it is may not save our lives, but I'm BLOODY sure the lack of it's gonna put an end to us! And SOON!

  [pause] 

  Nick Hopewell : Anybody disagree?

  [pause] 

  Nick Hopewell : Jolly good.

  [pause] 

  Nick Hopewell : Now, Mr. Jenkins, pray continue.

• Don Gaffney : [listening to Jenkins' time rip theory]  That's the craziest thing I've ever heard.

  Craig Toomy : Amen!
