TempusAttention all registered voters, John Doe is a darn nice guy.
TempusThe Amish are not your friends. They are anti John Doe. Boycott their quilts, they're overpriced and the workmanship is shoddy anyway. Oh, and John Doe is a darn nice guy.
Scenes with Tempus 7
TempusWell, this is a special pleasure, Miss Lane. I'm Tempus. I'm from the future that you and Superman created.
Me and Superman?
TempusA world of peace. A world with no greed or crime. A world so boring you'd blow your brains out, but there are no guns! You wanna know the future, Miss Lane? No one works. No one argues. There are 9000 channels and nothing on! Well, I intend to do something about that.
TempusUm, Lois, did you know that in the future, you're revered at the same level as Superman? Why, there are books about you, statues, an interactive game. You're even a breakfast cereal.
Really?
TempusYes. But as much as everbody loves you, there is one question that keeps coming up: HOW... DUMB... WAS SHE? Here. I'll show you what I mean.
[Tempus takes Welles' glasses off his face.]
TempusLook. [puts on the glasses] I'm Clark Kent. [takes glasses off, deeper voice] No. I'm Superman! [glasses on, soft voice] Mild-mannered reporter. [glasses off, deep voice] Superhero! [regular voice, mocking] Hello. Duh! Clark Kent is Superman! [laughs] Well, that was worth the whole trip. To actually meet the most galactically stupid woman who ever lived.
TempusSuperman, before I go, I have to ask... why tights? Why a cape? You're a grown man, don't you feel ridiculous?
[leaning in] My mother made it for me.
BBarrett
Lets go over it one more time...
TempusCan we move this along, I'm breaking out this morning.
BBarrett
Yes. You believe that a peace keeper from the future will arrive on this date to...
TempusExtradite me back to the future to face punishment for the crimes committed in various time zones.
BBarrett
So I gather that you still believe you're from the future.
TempusDuh.
BBarrett
Mr. Tempus, assuming that this is all true, why would you admit it to me.
TempusBecause you are, in a word, "loony tunes".
BBarrett
Loony tunes is two words.
SGSecurity Guard (Malcolm)
Hey, this area is restricted.
TempusAs well it should be. Do you realize that this satellite relay station is up linked to every long distance carrier in the country?
TempusMalcolm, you will go to the window. At exactly twelve-noon you will be overcome with the irresistible urge to take a flying leap out of that window.
MMalcolm
Gotta go. Gonna jump to my death soon. Buh-bye.
