Admiral Al Calavicci : You know, there's one thing that I-I... just doesn't figure for me.

Dr. Sam Beckett : Does it matter?

Dr. Sam Beckett : I don't know how to run track, Al.
Admiral Al Calavicci : Oh. Well, you just, you pump... Look, you pump your arms and you pump your legs, and then you drive through the tape.
Dr. Sam Beckett : You were a runner, too?
Admiral Al Calavicci : No, but it sounds good, dunnit?

Admiral Al Calavicci : Tea? Not coffee?
Dr. Sam Beckett : 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?

Karen Spencer : Tommy, what's wrong? Y-you don't return my phone calls, and... you don't listen to me when I talk. Don't you like me? I mean, I know that you're a senior and I'm only a freshman, but...
Dr. Sam Beckett : No, no, no, of course, of course I like you.
Karen Spencer : Well, then, why haven't you... you know.
Dr. Sam Beckett : What?
Karen Spencer : I don't want you to think I'm easy or anything. But we've been going out for almost three months, and... you haven't even... you know?
Admiral Al Calavicci : Yeah - you know?
Dr. Sam Beckett : I just didn't think that you wanted me to... y-you know.
Admiral Al Calavicci : Oh, God, this is worse than I thought.

Dr. Sam Beckett : Phillip's gonna die tonight.
Coach Martz : I thought we settled that.
Dr. Sam Beckett : Well, we did, but it-it's still gonna happen.
Coach Martz : How do you know?
Dr. Sam Beckett : It's kind of hard for me to explain. Look, Coach, you trusted me once. All I'm askin' is that you trust me again. For Phillip's sake.
Coach Martz : You know, this could mean my job.
Dr. Sam Beckett : This could mean his life.

Dr. Sam Beckett : [Sam and Al bump into Ronnie who's in civilian clothes and carrying a couple of packed bags] I was just on my way to the track.
Ronnie Chambers : So what?
Dr. Sam Beckett : [sighs] You goin' somewhere?
Ronnie Chambers : I'm dropping out of Prescott.
Dr. Sam Beckett : Where you gonna' go?
Ronnie Chambers : Somewhere where I don't have to deal with people like you.
Admiral Al Calavicci : [Sam and Al take a second to watch Ronnie's departing back] There goes a troubled young guy. Gosh, it's a shame he had to drive a kid like Philip out of the service.
Dr. Sam Beckett : Yeah, I know. Wait a second. Weren't you the guy who said the military is no place...? What's going on with you?
Admiral Al Calavicci : [sheepishly] I was... I was wrong. I was wrong. Alright. I was... You were right. I was wrong.
Dr. Sam Beckett : What made you change your mind?
Admiral Al Calavicci : Uh... you. The coach. Philip, mostly Philip. So, I realised that er... I was wrong. I'm not always right. I was wrong.

Coach Martz : What happened to your eye?
Dr. Sam Beckett : Huh? Oh. I, uh... I slipped in the bathroom and I kind of, you know, banged it on the sink.
Coach Martz : I hope the sink's okay.
