Chase : [interviewing] Tonic, what were you thinking, when you wrote: "As I travel in space and time, I want to stay, I want to go. You can see my face, but it's not mine. What you can't see, you'll never know." What can't we see?
Dr. Sam Beckett : [as Tonic, after Flash makes a joke] Well, um... I guess what I, what I really was, uh, meaning, er, to say was, uh, that, um, we all... live our lives behind masks. But the real point of living is to get beyond, to break through those masks, from the outside and from the inside, so that we can really communicate. Un, unfortunately, most of us don't.

Flash McGrath : We have more money than Croesus, ha-ha! We're gonna make The Beatles look like ants, huh-huh, yeah. Aren't we? He-he.
Dr. Sam Beckett : I don't remember.
Flash McGrath : Huh?
Dr. Sam Beckett : I m-, I mean, uh, that's what people're gonna be saying, about The Beatles: "I don't remember them", you know, when we get really big. I mean, The Beatles, they're like an insect infestation!
[laughter]
Flash McGrath : Yeah! And we're the bloody exterminators!

Admiral Al Calavicci : If it really gets desperate and they start charging up on stage, and they're gonna rip your clothes off, you stick your tongue out as far as you can and you wiggle it...
[shows Sam how]
Admiral Al Calavicci : Like that.
Dr. Sam Beckett : Sticking my tongue out is gonna make them stop from ripping my clothes off?
Admiral Al Calavicci : No, no, that'll make them start ripping their clothes off. Then you can take the guitar and you can smash it to pieces. That always gets 'em!
Dr. Sam Beckett : Al, with my luck, they're gonna want an encore, and I'm not gonna have a guitar...
Admiral Al Calavicci : Don't worry, Sam, just go out there and cut loose. I'm gonna be with you the whole time.
Dr. Sam Beckett : Oh, that, that's very comforting...
Admiral Al Calavicci : Look, if worse comes to worse... do Milli Vanilli.
Dr. Sam Beckett : Who?
Admiral Al Calavicci : That's what I suggested at first!

Admiral Al Calavicci : I told you! The lead is Flash! He's the killer, and he doesn't wanna kill you about his songs, he wants to kill you because of that girl, that Sandy!
Dr. Sam Beckett : Al, you've been certain about three different people!
Admiral Al Calavicci : Yeah, but this time I'm REALLY certain! And now you don't have to know who to look for, because it's definitely HIM! Or... Dwayne. Or, or... Philip.
Dr. Sam Beckett : You done?
Admiral Al Calavicci : Definitely.
