• [Sam has leaped into Jesus Ortega, who is sentenced to death by electrocution] 

  Al : Uh, according to Ziggy, you die on the 14th of May 1971. That's... oh, that's in two days.

  Sam : I got that, Al! Why?

  Al : Why?

  Sam : Why?

  Al : Well, probably because you can't live with two thousand volts of electricity running through your body.

• Al : [about Jesus Ortega]  Well, he's, he's out cold in the Waiting Room. We can't revive him. Dr. Beeks thinks that Jesus thinks that he's already dead. So he's slipped into kind of a comatose coma or whatever.

  Sam : Well, tell Beeks to bring him around!

  Al : Well, you can't just dump a bucket of water on his head and say, "Hey, hey get up. You're not dead. You're just 25 years in the future." These things take time, Sam.

• Al : [when seeing Tearsa for the first time]  Oh! Look at this, Sam. If I had had an attorney like that when I was in court, I'd still be in court.

• Al : [to Tearsa, on Moody]  He's gonna break you into a million pieces and walk away with the Governorship and let two innocent men die in the chair. I just hope Sam Beckett's not one of them.
