Quotes
-
George Campbell : Tree coming through!
Cheryl Jenkins : Hey! Look out!
George Campbell : I'm so... Cheryl Jenkins!
George Campbell : George Campbell. I should've known it was you.
George Campbell : Why, 'cause I'm still bowling you over?
Cheryl Jenkins : No, because you're still causing me pain.
-
George Campbell : Think this town's big enough for the both of us?
Cheryl Jenkins : I guess we'll find out.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : You're a lumberjack these days?
George Campbell : No, no, no. I still teach over at the junior high. I just got this for the science club.
Cheryl Jenkins : Fitting you work with kids... since, clearly, you still are one.
-
George Campbell : You still mad 'cause I let you win the science fair senior year?
Cheryl Jenkins : You "let" me win?
George Campbell : You finally admitted it. You know, that's the first step to moving forward, right?
Cheryl Jenkins : Actually, the first step starts with my left foot, then my right. Then I let momentum carry me off.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : That poster's five years out of date.
George Campbell : Yeah, I thought I heard your voice. What is it now, Cheryl? The font doesn't meet with your approval?
-
George Campbell : She says you just got your Master's. Congratulations.
Cheryl Jenkins : Just got it?
George Campbell : Now, don't go getting all big-headed about it. I can still beat you at Scrabble.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : What are you doing here?
George Campbell : I was asking myself the same question. You passed out.
-
George Campbell : Maybe some sugar will help. Technically, these are for the kids, but I'll grant an exception for an old friend.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : George... something's not right! I saw Ms. Nelson, here, at the carnival!
George Campbell : Well, I think she's entitled to a break, she's been grading papers non-stop!
Cheryl Jenkins : And the date on the poster.
George Campbell : Wanna fill me in, or you wanna play 20 questions?
Cheryl Jenkins : Look, I know this might sound crazy, but I have to tell you something important! And you have to swear not to laugh!
George Campbell : Okay.
Cheryl Jenkins : No, seriously. Promise?
George Campbell : I do solemnly swear not to laugh.
Cheryl Jenkins : Okay, so I got on the carousel, and everything was fine, but ever since I stepped off, things are really odd. It's almost like...
George Campbell : Like?
Cheryl Jenkins : I'm back in time? You said you were not gonna laugh! Why am I wasting my time talking to you?
-
Cheryl Jenkins : Why are you following me?
George Campbell : Well, a mixture of curiosity and concern. And when the guys with the white coats show up, they might need a hand.
-
George Campbell : There's no carousel at this carnival.
Cheryl Jenkins : Why does everyone keep telling me that? I was on it!
George Campbell : Well, I'm a volunteer this year, and I assure you, there's no carousel.
Cheryl Jenkins : It had moving horses and bright-colored lights!
George Campbell : Like a carousel? Look, have you been hanging out at the eggnog booth, huh?
Cheryl Jenkins : Please!
George Campbell : Okay. Here's another hypothesis. You've been working very hard on your thesis. Probably in need of some sleep?
-
George Campbell : So while you might think a white Christmas takes place only here on Earth, NASA has discovered ice in craters on the moon and beyond!
Cheryl Jenkins : Sorry. Don't let us disturb you.
George Campbell : Uh. And then there's Saturn's moon, Enceladus. And Mars has ice on it, too. But a snowball fight there would mean putting up with temperatures over a hundred below.
Cheryl Jenkins : No. There... there would not be...
George Campbell : Uh. What's that in the back there? You were saying?
Cheryl Jenkins : Nothing at all! Sorry. Carry on.
George Campbell : You sure? I mean, if you have something you want to say, you should share it with the rest of the class.
Cheryl Jenkins : Oh... well... uh... the ice on Mars is carbon dioxide, not water. So if there were a snowball fight, it would feel more like tossing dry ice. Ouch.
George Campbell : I think you're overthinking it.
Cheryl Jenkins : Maybe you're underthinking it.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : I... have a degree in astronomy, and science offers so many careers... about as many as the stars in the sky... So cherish this time in your life because it goes by so fast, and you still have choices. One choice can set you on a path towards your passion, or down the wrong path, and you do not want that. Uh. Well... all I'm saying is... choose wisely.
George Campbell : All right. I... I'm sure you definitely inspired the students. To what, I have no idea.
Cheryl Jenkins : Next time, I'll speak more slowly so you can keep up.
George Campbell : Oh, no, I heard what you said. It's just I didn't get the point.
Cheryl Jenkins : Wouldn't be the first time.
Miss Nelson : Students, what we have just experienced here is a perfect example of the scientific term "friction".
-
Miss Nelson : George, what do you think about Ms. Jenkins assisting you this week with science club?
George Campbell : You want us to work together?
Cheryl Jenkins : Yeah, I... I don't think so.
George Campbell : Finally, we agree.
-
George Campbell : You just had to outdo me. You had to outdo me.
Cheryl Jenkins : You're blaming me for this?
-
George Campbell : So, how are you enjoying the past?
Cheryl Jenkins : I was hoping you'd forgotten all that.
George Campbell : What do you do in the future anyway?
Cheryl Jenkins : Are you asking because you believe me?
George Campbell : Of course not.
Cheryl Jenkins : Well, if you must know, I happen to be Deputy Director of the Federal Science Association.
George Campbell : Wow! When you have a delusion, you really go big. So who else have you talked to about this crazy time-traveling story?
Cheryl Jenkins : Only you, and after how that went, my secret goes no further.
George Campbell : Wise choice. But now that you're stuck in the past, what are your plans?
Cheryl Jenkins : I know you don't believe me, but fine. I'm on a mission to make positive changes.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : He was my secret crush in high school, and I think he liked me, too.
George Campbell : And why's that?
Cheryl Jenkins : He asked to borrow my stapler once.
George Campbell : That it?
Cheryl Jenkins : It was the way he asked to borrow it.
-
George Campbell : As a favor to Ms. Nelson, I will allow you to assist me. I'll text you what we need to go over, so you can share your vast knowledge. And then we'll see who does it best.
Cheryl Jenkins : So we're competing again, huh?
George Campbell : Just like old times.
Cheryl Jenkins : Then game on.
-
George Campbell : So as the temperature decreases, the sugar comes out of the solution, and that's how crystals are formed... or better yet... red and green rock candy!
-
Cheryl Jenkins : Ms. Nelson still doesn't have a Christmas tree and... I...
George Campbell : I have a truck and you need someone to drop it off, right?
Cheryl Jenkins : Ah! You know your future!
-
Cheryl Jenkins : But I do have a great idea for science club tomorrow.
George Campbell : You gonna go back in time and... keep yourself from delivering that lecture?
Cheryl Jenkins : I know you still don't believe me, but isn't the foundation of science to have an open mind?
George Campbell : Science is about proof.
Cheryl Jenkins : You want proof? If I remember right, this week, a freak snowfall closed a main road between here and Willoughby.
George Campbell : This week's forecast is nothing but clear, sunny skies.
Cheryl Jenkins : We'll see.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : Every single time I do something, you always have to try to outdo me.
George Campbell : No, that's all in your head.
Cheryl Jenkins : The academic decathlon, the 4-H competition. Oh, I could go on...
George Campbell : You remember all of that? That's just proof that you've been jealous of me ever since back in high school.
Cheryl Jenkins : What? You've always been jealous of me!
George Campbell : Please. I love my life. Do you?
Cheryl Jenkins : Okay, fine. I admit it. My life is far from perfect. But this week, I have a second chance. And I'm gonna make a difference.
-
Jake : We're having science club at the carnival?
George Campbell : Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : Why do your compliments always sound like you're teasing?
George Campbell : Maybe you just hear it that way.
-
George Campbell : And how about me, how's my future look?
Cheryl Jenkins : Oh, I think it's safe to say you haven't changed a bit.
George Campbell : I don't know if that's a compliment or an insult.
Cheryl Jenkins : Maybe a little bit of both.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : But of all people, why choose me to compete with?
George Campbell : Because you were the best.
Cheryl Jenkins : Really?
George Campbell : Don't let it go to your head.
-
George Campbell : You know, I always felt like our competition brought out the best in each other.
-
George Campbell : Well, you know what good ol' Einstein said about time. "There's never enough time to finish all of my holiday shopping."
Cheryl Jenkins : He never said anything of the sort.
George Campbell : What, were you there? No, don't answer that. You probably were.
-
George Campbell : Speaking of which, how's your mission to change the future going?
Cheryl Jenkins : About as smoothly as the Big Bang.
-
Cheryl Jenkins : I thought I could change things. It seems like I'm fighting fate. I... I guess I have to try harder.
George Campbell : Or you could stop trying.
Cheryl Jenkins : But if you can change the future, wouldn't you try?
George Campbell : The way I see it... why fight fate? Whatever's gonna happen is gonna happen.
Cheryl Jenkins : Not if I can help it.
-
George Campbell : I don't mind sharing the classroom with you, but I draw the line at sharing the kitchen.
-
George Campbell : What is it about winter nights that make the stars so clear?
Cheryl Jenkins : Cold air doesn't hold as much moisture, so there's less interference.
George Campbell : Right. I almost forgot I was speaking to an actual astronomer.
