Dr. Sam Beckett : [to the villagers] In honor of this very special occasion, I'd like to pause for just a moment, if I might, and recognize my apprentice and my assistant, Clinton Levering. I'd like to ask Clinton, if he wouldn't mind, to prepare the cloud seeding solution for me today. Clinton?
Clinton Leveret : [laughs] Doc...
[he takes Sam aside]
Dr. Sam Beckett : What?
Clinton Leveret : What?
Dr. Sam Beckett : Come on, how many times you seen me do it?
Clinton Leveret : Er, probably a hundred.
Dr. Sam Beckett : So what's the problem?
Clinton Leveret : [chuckles] Ye ain't never done it the same way twice.

[Sam has asked Clinton why he would still follow a quack like himself, i.e. Billy]
Dr. Sam Beckett : If you want to follow somebody around your whole life, follow somebody that's good, somebody that's worthwhile.
Clinton Leveret : Doc, y-you picked me up out of shantytown in East St. Louis. I'd never seen a sunrise. Or-or bathed in clean water. Or even had a full belly till I met you. You taught me how to walk tall. I think you're plenty worthwhile. Huh, besides, you know good and damn well I'm waitin' for someday.
Dr. Sam Beckett : Someday?
Clinton Leveret : Yeah, someday, you know. You always tell me, "Clinton, someday this whole thing's gonna work, and the rain's gonna fall. And when it does, I'm gonna nail my boots to that patch of ground and turn this whole shootin' match over to you."
Dr. Sam Beckett : You believe that?
Clinton Leveret : Sure I do. I believe in you, Doc.
