Quotes 

• Dr. Sam Beckett : Now, Annie. I'm sure that Ralph is really a very wonderful man.

  Annie Beaumont : Billy. Springtime is wonderful. Sunsets are wonderful. Babies are wonderful. Ralph... is Ralph.

  Admiral Al Calavicci : Ouch.

• Dr. Sam Beckett : Have you ever looked at a beautiful building? And noticed the columns, and the... domes and windows, and, you know, stuff like that? And... you never looked at the foundation, did you? Not once. Never even thought about the foundation. But without the foundation, the whole building would topple down, and there wouldn't be any more domes or windows or columns or... Maybe you should think of Ralph like he was a foundation.

  Annie Beaumont : Okay.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Okay?

  Annie Beaumont : Okay. He's a pile of posts that are better off buried and you don't even notice until they rot. And then you either replace 'em, or you move on. Well, thanks, Billy. I never quite saw it that way.
