- Wade Welles: Oh man, that was so great. It was like better than... than sex.
- Prof. Maximilian Arturo: Well, I wouldn't go that far.
- Day Tripper: Jack Kennedy does not want to run for another term. And I can understand this, people; because if you start the day in bed with Marilyn that's where you want to spend the day.
- Wilkins: Got any rest, gentlemen?
- Prof. Maximilian Arturo: Oh, yes! I always sleep well with my arms tied above my head, you blithering idiot!
- Prof. Maximilian Arturo: Bad dream?
- Quinn Mallory: I was down in the basement. My mother came looking for me. No matter what I did, she couldn't see me. She's lost Dad, now me.
- Prof. Maximilian Arturo: You're not lost. You're just misplaced.
- [last lines]
- Michael Mallory: Hey. Did I miss anything?
- Quinn Mallory: Hello... Dad.
- Michael Mallory: What's the matter, son? You look like you've seen a ghost.
- Wade Welles: You mean that we can just like... slide through this and boom, we're on another planet?
- Quinn Mallory: No. Same planet, different dimension.
- Wing: I should've gone to law school like my old man wanted. This relativistic quantum pop-cosmology's such a mindwarp.
- Michael Hurley: Hey, don't get smart with me. This computer store pays your rent, mister. If it weren't for my mistakes, you'd be out of a job.
- [Quinn is doodling vorticies instead of paying attention in class]
- Prof. Maximilian Arturo: Mr. Mallory, I have devoted years of my life honing my considerable intelligence so that I may impart a subject this complex with some lucidity. You may at least do me the courtesy, sir, to *pretend* that you are listening.
- [first lines]
- Quinn Mallory: [on video recording] Oh, my God. It was great. You should've seen. I mean, it was great. This thing. No, no, no, this weird thing. This big weird thing just right here just came out of nowhere. Just whoosh, whoosh.
- Mrs. Mallory: Quinn!
- Quinn Mallory: I think I just knocked out the power.
- Quinn Mallory: Who are you?
- Quinn Double: Isn't it obvious? I'm you.
- Quinn Mallory: My god. The gateway, it split me in half.
- Quinn Double: Not hardly. I'm you Quinn, but I'm not from this world. I'm from another Earth, an Earth that exists in a parallel dimension. There may be hundreds, even all thousands of Earths all coexisting on the same multidimensional space-time continuum
- Quinn Mallory: How do you know that?
- Quinn Double: Because I'm a slider, and this happens to be my eighth slide.
- Quinn Mallory: Slider?
- Quinn Double: Yeah, a little term I cooked up. You like it?
- Quinn Mallory: Yeah, it's pretty cool.
- Quinn Double: You probably would've dreamt it up yourself sooner or later. It's a safe bet we think alike. Mostly.
- Mrs. Mallory: You're too much like your father, up all night working crazy hours. And look at what happened to him. He worked himself to death.
- Quinn Mallory: Mom. dad was hit by a car.
- Mrs. Mallory: But he was on his way to work. That's my point. He had too much on his mind.
- Quinn Mallory: Better than too little.
- Prof. Maximillian P. Arturo: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I think I've just seen God and I could've sworn he was driving a Cadillac.
- Wade Welles: You mean that we can just like slide through this and boom, we're on another planet?
- Quinn Mallory: No. Same planet, different dimension.
- Wade Welles: And it's safe, right? That is so cool. Where do I sign up?
- Prof. Maximillian P. Arturo: Don't be a child. This is not a toy.
- Wade Welles: Hey, lighten up. Quinn's done it. And his double's gone through a dozen times. Do you have something better to do?
- Prof. Maximillian P. Arturo: This wormhole must be carefully studied. All its permutations must be calculated.
- Wade Welles: Fine, you work out the numbers. Quinn and I are gonna take a spin around the universe.
- Prof. Maximillian P. Arturo: Are you serious?
- Quinn Mallory: Coming?
- Prof. Maximillian P. Arturo: Fine, then in the interest of science, I suppose I must go along with you for this joyride.
- Quinn Mallory: There's something really strange going on. I swear to god that was not me.
- Wade Welles: Oh right, and I suppose now you're gonna tell me that kiss didn't mean nothing.
- Quinn Mallory: Kiss? Oh my god. I kissed Hurley. No wonder I'm fired.
- Wade Welles: Will you stop it? It was with me. And don't you dare tell me that you don't remember.
- Quinn Mallory: But that's just it. Why would I kiss you? I mean, we're buds, right? It'd be like incest. What else did I do?
- Wade Welles: I don't think that this is funny.
