Quantum Leap1989

Gushie:
If Dr. Beckett leaped into Oswald to uncover the conspiracy, then doing nothing is an effective course of action.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
How the hell do you figure that?

Gushie:
Whether Dr. Beckett is himself or Lee Harvey Oswald is immaterial. Either way, you'll be there to observe. To watch the sixth floor window, the grassy knoll, the railroad overpass. You'll see it all! You'll know the truth!

Admiral Al Calavicci:
But I won't be able to stop it.

Gushie:
I realize that, Admiral, but you yourself said that wasn't what Dr. Beckett was leaped back to do.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Well, what if I was wrong? What if that's precisely the reason that Sam was leaped back?

Gushie:
Then Oswald would have to be the sole assassin.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
That's right.

Gushie:
No conspiracy?

Admiral Al Calavicci:
No. Just one angry, envious man who-who wanted to propel himself into infamy.

Gushie:
But one lone man?

Admiral Al Calavicci:
I know, it's more comforting to believe in plots, because if Kennedy could be killed that easily by one sicko, what hope is there for the rest of us?
