- Admiral Al Calavicci: Sam! Sam! You'll never guess who's in the Waiting Room: Elvis Presley. Huh, you're him, and he's you.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: I know I'm him and he's me. -... - Tell you one thing I would like to know, though, is what the heck I'm doin' here.
- Admiral Al Calavicci: Well, Ziggy's working on it, but, uh, she's working with diminished capacity because she's starstruck.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: [narrating] 1954 was an age of innocence - a time when people still believed in the American Dream. I realized that I had leaped into a man who personified that dream, a man who went from being a truck driver to a superstar overnight. Walking a mile in Elvis Presley's blue suede shoes before he became the idol of millions made me realize he was just a normal person. I kept wondering if he would've been happier had he stayed that way.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: There's nothing wrong with bein' a dreamer.
- Sue Anne Winters: It hurts too much when you wake up.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: You'll never know unless you try.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: Look. Everybody should be a dreamer. I mean, you gotta reach for the stars, not for the ceiling.
- Sue Anne Winters: But the ceiling keeps you out of the rain.
- [after Sue Anne and Sam/Elvis have given a stunning singing performance]
- Dr. Sam Beckett: You got a lot of talent.
- Sue Anne Winters: Well, then the good Lord must've been smilin' down on me.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: Yeah, or you must've been reachin' for the stars, 'cause I don't think he could see you through the ceiling.
- Admiral Al Calavicci: He cancels out on Elvis! Oh! This is awful, Sam! Ziggy says now, Elvis doesn't even get discovered. And "Heartbreak Hotel" is recorded by the... Monkees! And "Jailhouse Rock" is recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn? Ughh! Gag me with a spoon!
- [Sam has just had a fight with Frank]
- Gladys: You stay away from that man, y' hear? You always gettin' into scrapes these days. I don't know what to do with ya.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: [as Elvis] Look, I didn't start the fight.
- Gladys: It don't matter who started. It takes two to finish it. What's so special about this girl anyhow?
- Dr. Sam Beckett: How'd you know it was about a girl?
- Gladys: 'cause I'm your mama.
- Admiral Al Calavicci: According to Ziggy, the odds of the two of you getting a recording contract are a lousy 19-to-1.
- Dr. Sam Beckett: Al, news flash: Ziggy has been wrong before. Right?
- Admiral Al Calavicci: Yeah, but in 1954, the world was just not ready for Sonny and Cher. As a matter of fact, the world was never ready for Sonny and Cher.
- [last lines]
- Sue Anne Winters: What am I gonna do now?
- Dr. Sam Beckett: Well, you're gonna reach for the stars. And you're gonna keep right on reachin', till you touch 'em.
