Quantum Leap1989

Admiral Al Calavicci:
[referring to Chucky] What are you so interested in this kid for anyway?

Dr. Sam Beckett:
[sighs] 'cause he reminds me of you.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Oh. What?

Dr. Sam Beckett:
You remember the first time we met, Al? You were running the Star Bright Project, and, uh, I came into the lab, and you were smashing the vending machine with a hammer.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Oh, uh-mmm, it ate my dime.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Yeah, you were, you were drunk and, uh, angry, and... the government wanted to wash you out of the project completely, but I stopped them. Because I knew that underneath all that booze and that anger was a pretty terrific person.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
So you think this... kid is a terrific person too?

Dr. Sam Beckett:
I don't know. But I think he deserves a chance to find out. Don't you?
