Larry Brantley: Wishbone

Quotes 

• Wishbone : [Joe's laying on the couch watching TV]  Hey, how much time can you spend doing nothing in front of a talking box?

• Wishbone : [Joe can't figure out a percentage even with his new calculator]  Joe! That calculator was supposed to take you forward. But you, my friend, are moving backwards.

• Wishbone : [as the Time Traveler, reading an old book of Shakespeare]  'Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day, to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death.

  [touches the page and it desintigrates, gasps] 

  Weena : [laughs]  Dusty death!

  Wishbone : Weena! How can you laugh? Don't these books mean anything to you? Weena, don't you read?

  Weena : Read? What is read?

  Wishbone : [leaving the library]  But, Weena, reading is fundamental.

  Weena : Is fun?

  Wishbone : Fundamental. Weena, I'm starting to think I built the time machine in vain.

• Wanda Gilmore : Oh, sorry. There's no calculator. Oh, hey...

  [puts a pencil and paper down] 

  Wanda Gilmore : Use this.

  Joe Talbot : No, it's all right, I'm fine.

  Wishbone : "No, it's all right, I'm fine." Famous last words.

• Wishbone : [as the Time Traveler]  What is your name?

  [Weena stares at him puzzled] 

  Wishbone : Uh... what are you called?

  [Weena still doesn't respond] 

  Wishbone : Okay, let's try this again. Who are you?

  Weena : I am Weena. You are man!

  [laughs] 

  Wishbone : [turns to the camera]  Uh-huh, I'm convinced, it's something in the water.
