- Mr. Conductor: When someone isn't looking, you know, and reaches for a tool, and suddenly finds it's a little closer than he thought? That's me.
- Mr. Conductor: [of Jack Frost] You know it's funny, he loves to confuse people with cold whether, but personally, he's really a very warm individual.
- Schemer: And now, with a mere nickel, you may hear me speak of the future. Future, future, future, future...
- Midge Smoot: Oh, speak to me, future, future, future, speak to me!
- Stacy Jones: Oh, boy, now I've heard everything, everything, everything.
- Mr. Conductor: [having appeared in place of the machine's model; in a haunting voice] What do you want, El Schemo?
- Schemer: AHH! It's - it's a talking machine!... Well, what do you know about that?... Tell us a future, O Talking Machino.
- Mr. Conductor: You cannot see the future. Nor can I. No one can see the future.
- Schemer: [desperately] It's a machine that has a sense of humor; it's joking; I appreciate a sense of humor. Let us all laugh, ha-ha-ha-ha!
- Mr. Conductor: You told these people lies to get their money. Shame on you.
- Schemer: Well, I made, uh... I made a few guesses that didn't work out so well, but...
- Mr. Conductor: You twisted around my messages. Your predictions are all wrong. You are a phony.
- Schemer: NO! NO! What about-what about Ginny's tomatoes, Ginny's tomatoes!
- Mr. Conductor: Are you kidding? That was a coincidence.
- [disappears]
- [last lines]
- Mr. Conductor: Schemerrrr...
- Schemer: AHH! I didn't hear that, I didn't hear that!
- Mr. Conductor: It is I, the spirit of the machine. If you ever trick peole like that again, I will return to haunt you forever.
- Schemer: No! No! Please don't do that!
- Mr. Conductor: But you want me to predict your future.
- Schemer: No! I'm out of the future-business; I'm completely out of the future-business!
- Mr. Conductor: I predict you are going to take a trip.
