• [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.

• Capt. Cooper : You keep flyin' with black boxes, kid, you're gonna end up in one.

• [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.
