Quantum Leap1989

[Jamie is preparing the Table of Death]

Jamie Spontini:
I re-rigged the shackles, to open at once. It'll be a snap.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
If it's such a snap, uh... why, why do they call it the... Table of Death?

Admiral Al Calavicci:
'cause two guys have died doing it.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
[whispering to Al, with a twinge of panic] Two guys have died?

Jamie Spontini:
But you're better than them, Harry.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
[uneasily] Huh. Yeah...

Jamie Spontini:
You will have an extra fifteen seconds before it hits the final latch. Then, all 900 pounds of canopy come slamming down and splattering your guts all over the place.
