Quotes 

• Professor Paradox : The Chrono-logger is hardly a time machine in the sense of a vehicle, but rather a subatomic drill designed to bore a tunnel in the fabric of space-time. As to cost, I think the alleviation of untold human suffering throughout history is ample justification, General.

  General Groff : It'll also give our red buddies overseas a thing or two to think about.

• Hugo : Doctor, I'm... I'm frightened!

  Professor Paradox : Have a gumball. It'll calm your nerves.

• Professor Paradox : Swampfire! That takes me back - or is it forward? It's so hard to tell, Ben. Have we met?

• Professor Paradox : Easy on the jacket. It's 1200 years old.

• Professor Paradox : [checking his watch]  Where have you been? You were supposed to get here six seconds ago - or is this thing running fast?

• Professor Paradox : Don't talk to me about "old." I walk in eternity.

• Professor Paradox : Same old Ben Tennyson. You're more like yourself now than you were in the future, which for obvious reasons I can't really tell you about.

  Kevin Levin : [to Ben]  You want me to hurt 'im?

• Professor Paradox : Los Soledad was built entirely on MY ingenious theory - a time tunnel utilizing the properties I discovered in quartz crystals which would allow us access to past and future events.

  Kevin Levin : Yeah, well, for a genius, it looks like you blew it.

  Professor Paradox : You don't know the half of it. Some tiny miscalculation on my part destabilized the experiment and ripped a hole in the fabric of reality. I was hurled into the event horizon. I must have spent one hundred-thousand years there. I didn't age or need to sleep or eat - just exist.

  Kevin Levin : Heh, sounds pretty boring.

  Professor Paradox : At first I went mad of course, but after a few millennia I got bored with that, too, and went sane - very sane. I began to learn. I now have total understanding of the space-time continuum, allowing me to travel anywhere and anywhen I want... within reason.

• Professor Paradox : I've spent a dozen lifetimes crisscrossing the time stream, making it a better place.

  Kevin Levin : Then how does THAT pay?

  Professor Paradox : At the moment, not even in job satisfaction.

• Professor Paradox : Young Ben has an innate sense of transtemporal metaphysics, which will serve him well in his future - or should I say past?

  Ben Tennyson : And I drive good, too.

• Professor Paradox : Gumballs last a really long time. Look under your desk at school!

• Professor Paradox : You're much smarter than you were when I met you later.
