- I could let them know about the sorrow and the happiness that the future has in store for them. Maybe they could learn from it. Or could they?

- I would love to see your time.

- You wouldn't be very happy there.

Top rated lines from this movie

When I speak of time, gentlemen, I'm referring to the fourth dimension.
You're right, David. That's exactly what I have. All the time in the world.
Why is it that we usually ignore the forth dimension? Because we have no freedom of movement within it. You see, we can move in the other three: Up, down, forward, sideways, backward, but when it comes to time, we are prisoners.
There is no past.
You ask many questions.
