Quantum Leap1989

Dr. Sam Beckett:
I read this book Nick's writing. That's why I know everything. It's not d?j? vu.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Another illusion shattered forever.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Nick and Alison loved each other but they were too loyal to Phil to do anything about it. Listen to this: "The heat between us was like a six-day jaunt in the Sahara, but out ties to Phil were as tight as the drunk on the corner stool."

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Not exactly Faulkner.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
You can say that again. I think I'm here to find Phil's killer so that Allison and I can live happily ever after.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Sam, don't you mean Allison and Nick?

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Well, yeah, sure.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Sam, you know, Allison could be the killer.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
No.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
No? Why do you say no? Because "her body could part the Red Army?"

Dr. Sam Beckett:
No, because we've got Klapper.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Careful, Sam, there was no cure for that in 1953.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Al, Klapper is the dropper who shot Phil. At least that's the rumor.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Yeah, but people hire droppers.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
It wasn't Allison. But whoever it was is probably here in Nick's book. So, if you could just find me "Dead Men Don't Die".

Admiral Al Calavicci:
I doubt that it was published under that title.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Check under Nick Allen.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Maybe he used a nom de plume. I would.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Just have Ziggy do it, okay? That's what computers are for. Just find me the rest of this book, because for the life of me, I can't remember how it ended.

Admiral Al Calavicci:
Well, it wasn't with Allison and Nick living happily ever after.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
You read it?

Admiral Al Calavicci:
No, but if it ended like that, why would you be here?
