Who’s Obsessed Scene: Sam: How did I get back here?… Marie and Abagail – Abagail all grown up… in the house… the house that was on fire. I changed history. She’s alive. She’s alive. Abagail is alive. Wait… there was a fire and a window and she gout out and I didn’t. But… I’m… alive. I’m alive and I’m here as Will Kinman but why… why am I back here this is not making any sense at all. Al: What’s not making any sense at all? Sam: I… Al: To whom are you talking? People are going to think you are coo-coo walking around like this. Sam: He’s dead. Al: Who’s dead? Al: Yeah. Sam: I leaped in… he died and I leap into… into Al: Into? Sam: Into… into… ahm… Al: Eh? You leaped into… Sam: I leaped in… Do you realize where I l..leaped into? Al: Yeah. Potterville Louis… Sam: No… that’s not what I meant. Al: Your stuttering. Sam: Yeah, well, I think it’s some rr-residual from W..Will. Al: Uh huh. Sam: She’s incredible Al. Her eyes, her face, her hair the way it smells, and… Al: Uh huh…. Sam: And her skin… Al: Ok ok… whoa cowboy… I know you leaped in under intimate circumstances but you gotta be careful. Sam: Careful? Al: Well, listen to yourself. It’s Will that’s in love with Abagail… not Sam. Sam: I know that… I know that… Al: It’s June 14, 1966… Sam: She’s so beautiful, Al… Al: And you’ve leaped back into Potterville Louisiana and that’s all we have got right now. Sam: It’s… eleven years later. Abagail’s 21. Al: That’s right, and Will’s 27. Sam: I feel like I’m 27… I feel like I’m 17 and I’m… g..getting married tomorrow. Al: No, Will’s getting married tomorrow. I gotta get you outta here. Sam: I belong here! Al: You’ve got me worried big time. Sam: What are you worried about? Al: Ziggy, okay, let’s get to work on this. Sam, do me a favor? Sam: What? Al: Stay away from Abagail, okay? Sam: Okay.
Family heritage: Laura: They all died. Sam: Died? Al: She must know Clayton died. Laura: Casey, Taylor, Sadie, Bobby, Mary Lou and Jesse… all of them. Al: That’s her brothers and sisters. Sam: What happened to them? Laura: Momma did it but it wasn’t her fault… she got so sad. Daddy went away and never came back. She’d cry and cry. Sam: What did your mother do? Did she hurt the children? Laura: Just that there wasn’t more food and Jesse was so little and so hungry… Al: God, she must have seen it all. Laura: It rained all night. I love the rain. We used to sleep – Sadie, Mary Lou and I always slipped through the crack and roll under the bed. Sam: That’s how your mother missed you. Laura: I thought it was raindrops that was falling on my hand. You tell, Abagail, you tell her that’s why I couldn’t come home. Clayton said that I might hurt her. You’re gonna keep her safe. Now. That’s what you came back for… isn’t it? Sam: What do you mean… why I came back? Al: She knows your not Will. Sam: How do you know that I’m not … Laura: She really needs you.
Not Fair: Sam: Why do you think I’m really here? Al: Sam, you’re here to keep Abagail from getting killed – it’s a leap like any other leap! Sam: But what it there’s more? I mean, what if that’s not it? What if…. I’m in trouble, al. Al: What trouble? Sam: I don’t know what to do… I… I want her. I want her so bad it’s killing me. I can’t think of anything else except holding her and… and touching her, tasting her and smelling her hair. I feel like she belongs to me. And that’s all that matters. Al: What matters is that you ARE Sam Beckett! That’s the reason you got this crazy job! Sam: It’s not fair. Al: All right. It’s not fair. It’s not fair. Life isn’t fair. Whoever said it was fair? Sam: Oh, don’t stand there and tell me that live isn’t fair, Al. Al: You’re here to save Abagail. You’ve saved her once before and you’ve got to do it again. That’s it. Sam: Why me? Al: Because you’re a hero. Sam: Even heroes are human.
Say What?

She felt it the moment you leaped in and she knows it wasn’t just Will that she was with last night. *** Sam: I don’t have a lot of time. Abagail: What are you talking about? Sam: I love you. No matter what happens or whatever I say in the future, just know that in this brief moment of time we belong to each other. Please know that. *** Sam: As soon as I touched her, it was me. It was all me. Me and Abagail.
