- Sam Beckett: John is going to write my favorite song.
- Katie Beckett: [skeptical] You favorite song?
- Sam Beckett: Um-hmm.
- Katie Beckett: In the future?
- Sam Beckett: Yeah.
- Katie Beckett: Well, sing it to me. Or are you gonna use that swiss-cheese-brain excuse you gave me when I asked you who'd be my first boyfriend?
- Sam Beckett: [playing guitar and singing] Imagine there's no heaven / It's easy if you try / No Hell below us / Above us only sky / Imagine all the people living for today / Imagine there's no countries / It isn't hard to do / Nothing to kill or die for.
- [Katie's expression changes]
- Sam Beckett: And no religion, too / Imagine all the people living life in peace / You-hoo, you might say I'm a dreamer.
- Sam Beckett, Admiral Al Calavicci: But I'm not the only one / I hope someday you'll join us / And the world will live as one.
- Sam Beckett: Imagine no posses...
- [Sam notices Katie has started crying and stops]
- Sam Beckett: Katey, what is it?
- Katie Beckett: I've never heard that before.
- Sam Beckett: Of course not. Lennon's not gonna write it for another couple of years.
- Katie Beckett: Noo!
- Admiral Al Calavicci: Sam...
- Sam Beckett: Katey, what is it?
- Katie Beckett: I don't want to believe you!
- Sam Beckett: Why?
- Katie Beckett: I don't want to believe you know the future... because if you do, Tommy's gonna die.
- Katie Beckett: Oh my God! If you really are from the future, you'd know if he's dead!
- Sam Beckett: Chuck?
- Katie Beckett: Paul McCartney. The White Album. If you play "Revolution Number Nine" backwards, the Beatles are singing "Paul is dead."
- Sam Beckett: No. Paul's not dead. After the Beatles split up...
- Katie Beckett: The Beatles split up?
- Sam Beckett: Pretty soon, I think.
- Katie Beckett: Oh God. Wait 'til I tell Elaine!
- Sam Beckett: Paul forms this group called Wings and they come out with some really great tunes.
- Katie Beckett: And John? What's John gonna do? He's my favorite.
- Sam Beckett: [hesitantly] Uh, Katey... John...
- Admiral Al Calavicci: *Don't* tell her.
- Sam Beckett: It's not fair, Al. I mean, c'mon, it's not fair.
- Admiral Al Calavicci: Well, I think, uh, I think it's damn fair.
- Sam Beckett: What?
- Admiral Al Calavicci: I'd give anything to see my father, and my sister, for a few days. Be able to talk with them again... Laugh with them... Tell 'em how much I love them. I'd give anything to have what you have, Sam. Anything.
- Admiral Al Calavicci: I know it hurts, Sam, but you did the right thing.
- Sam Beckett: I always do - I always do the right thing Al and where does it get me? I m - Why can I always save strangers, but not the people I love?
- Admiral Al Calavicci: I don't know.
- Sam Beckett: Well, I'm not gonna do it anymore. I'm not gonna do it.
- Sam Beckett: [yelling to the sky] You hear that? Whoever you are, *whatever* you are, I'm not doing it anymore! I *quit*!
- Sam Beckett: [to Al] I quit.
- [Sam runs away through the cornfield]
- Admiral Al Calavicci: Sam!
- [last lines]
- Navy Lt. Tom Beckett: Sam! Hoo-yah! All right, little brother!
- Sam Beckett: [reaching for Tom] Toooo...
- [Sam continues to yell while he leaps from the basketball court to a river in Vietnam, still reaching to Tom]
- Sam Beckett: - oooom!
- [startled, the Seals start firing in all directions; Sam submerges until they stop]
- Sam Beckett: [surfacing] Tom?
- Navy Seal: [of body of an enemy Vietcong floating by] He's dead.
- Sam Beckett: Damn, Magic!
- Sam Beckett: Tom.
- Navy Lt. Tom Beckett: How'd you know they were there?
- Sam Beckett: Oh, boy.
- Coach Donnelly: Defense! Defense! Not patty cake, defense!
- Admiral Al Calavicci: Patty cake? That's high fives! That's called a high five! And what are you yelling "defense"? You should be putting them into a press! I feel like Dennis Hopper in Hoosiers.
