Quotes 

• Dr. Sam Beckett : I can fly!

  Admiral Al Calavicci : You can dial.

• Dr. Sam Beckett : [about the Bermuda Triangle]  You're not gonna tell me that you believe all the myths, are you?

  Admiral Al Calavicci : Sam, a lot of freaky things have happened out here. There are ships that disappear, planes vanish, even on clear days. Like this one.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Disasters at sea are not that uncommon, even on clear days like this one.

  Admiral Al Calavicci : There's theories that say that it's either electromagnetic vortices or else it's...

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Or sea monsters.

  Admiral Al Calavicci : How did you know?

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Right, I remember.

  Admiral Al Calavicci : Giant prehistoric lizard fish have been seen by sailors in the Ber...

  [Sam starts laughing] 

  Admiral Al Calavicci : What's so funny? What're you laughin' about?

  Dr. Sam Beckett : I'm just joking, okay?

  Admiral Al Calavicci : It is no joke, Sam. If I wasn't a hologram, I wouldn't be caught dead out here.

• [about the time he crashed in the Bermuda Triangle] 

  Capt. Cooper : I wasn't in the water those eight days in '44. I was picked up by the USS Cyclops the day I went in. Seven days later, she was torpedoed. Went down with everyone but me. A freighter, the Michael Z picked me up the next day. Now twice in eight days, I was the only survivor.

  Sam : Well, that is quite a coincidence.

  Capt. Cooper : Yeah, I guess so.

  Al : [consulting the handlink]  Sam, the USS Cyclops disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle in 1918, twenty-six years before Cooper was picked up.

• Dr. Sam Beckett : Just what I need - a lifetime job flying in the Bermuda Triangle.

• [Sam - as Eddie - has urged Cooper to fly to Bermuda, to get Michelle to a much-needed hospital] 

  Capt. Cooper : I know this pond, Eddie. Today is not the day to push into it.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : If we don't, Michelle is gonna die.

  Capt. Cooper : You really believe that, don't you?

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Stake my life on it.

  Capt. Cooper : No. You're stakin' all our lives on it.
