Ziggy is blowing out microchips like they were popcorn. He just, he didn't see it coming.
What?
What? Sam, this is the 17th of June 1972.
So?
So? We're in the Watergate! Break-in, Nixon, impeachment...
I don't remember.
Oh, boy. The Republicans would love you.
At 22:15 Greenwich Mean Time, you must plug in a thousand-watt hairdryer in a house located at 111 Erie Drive, Buffalo, New York.
What?!
Is sex all you ever think about?
Well, except when I'm pulling you out of the fire, yes.
You are a elderly black man in the deep South and that is dangerous.
We've got Clapper.
Careful, Sam--there was no cure for that in 1953.
In two days, the Russians are going to shoot down the U-2.
The rock group?
How do I act retarded?
Just act natural.
Well when I was 8 years old I had a pet roach. Only problem was, the kid in the next bed had a pet lizard. I'll never forget him. His name was Kevin.
The kid in the next bed?
No, the roach.
Why do I even ask.
Ziggy says the odds are real good.
How good?
Oh, you know. They're way up there.
Do you have to sneak up on me?
I'm sorry. What do you expect a hologram to do? Knock?
Who are you?
Yin and yang, good and bad. God...
...The Devil.
In the flesh, so to speak.
This isn't possible!
Come on Al, tell me he's not real...
Uh...I...you...ah...he's real. Oh Sam, he's very real.
What is happening?
Why are you doing this?
To put an end to your meddling. Who gave you the right to go bungling around in time, putting right what I made wrong?!
I'm just trying to get home.
Well you're not going to make it!
What's with Ebenezer there?
He's ready to tear down the mission with his bare hands, Al; I think I'm making things worse.
[Al is impersonating a future ghost]
I know you. You're that jerk from the lobby.
I am the Ghost of Christmas Future. Whoo-haha!
Please. The Ghost of Christmas Future wore a black cape. Jacob Marley had the chains.
[Sam and Al have traded places -- Al as the leaper, Sam as the hologram from the lab.]
Do you have any Sweet 'n Low? Or Equal?
Sweet 'n low? Equal?
No, no, no, no, no. They didn't have any artificial sweetner in 1945. Okay?
[Sam looks at Kelly.]
But boy, did they have women with big kazooms!
Even with the cafe I'm rationed a half a pound of sugar a week. And Mike tries to put all of it into in his cup.
Are you forgetting who slips you an extra pound of butter every now and then?
I didn't know I was swappin' sugar for it.
Well, if a pound of butter is all it takes, I got me a dairy farm that I...
[to Sam] Stop that!!
Tea? Not coffee?
I'm making some tea. Tea. T-E-A tea. Tea, tea, tea. I don't like coffee, I like tea....Does drinking tea make me any less of a man than somebody who drinks coffee? I mean, is every tea-drinker in the entire history of the world gay to you? Is that it? What about the Boston Tea Party? Was that like some kind of a gay boat festival or something?
