KennethTo go it alone, or to go with a partner. When you choose a partner, you have to have compromises and sacrifices, but it's the price you pay. Do I want to follow my every whim and desire as I make my way through time and space? Absolutely. But at the end of the day, do I need someone when I'm doubting myself and I'm insecure, and *my* heart's failing me? Do I need someone who, when the heat gets hot, has my back?
JeffHe's right. Use that too. There's something off about this guy, okay? So you gotta go slow, like you're trapping a skittish animal. Now, lure him. Play coy. Girls know how to do that shit.
DariusYou're dangling my vagina out there like bait. What if this guy's a murderer? What if he cuts me up into little pieces and eats me?
KennethI really like your intensity. You're, like, no nonsense.
DariusWell, there's no sense in nonsense. Especially when the heat's on.

Darius[over-answering a job interview question]In high school I felt like that mouse that gets dropped in the snake cage and just sits there, frozen, trying to blend in. I guess I remember being happy when I was a kid. Back when you just naturally expect good things to happen. Before my mom died.

DariusWhat time would you go back to? If you could.
DariusI would definitely go back. Everything cool is gone. The Aztecs. People killing themselves for each other. You wouldn't want to see the dragons and the elves, fighting each other in the magical forests? Come on!
JeffAll right, give me the lesbian and the Indian and I got a story!

KennethWhile I would like to maneuver through this world with an open heart and mind, sometimes it doesn't gain you favor. So I just need to be equipped with the necessary skill sets, guns, training, weapons, fighting - in case I encounter any obstacles that need to be defeated.

KennethListen to me. You come to that launch site at 5:00... you take my hand, and I'll show you who can't time travel.

[Still at the grocery store:]
KennethThis is a bad place to talk. I get off in, like, fifteen. Rendezvous?
[She turns to walk away, but whirls suddenly to toss him a soup can he had not realized she had taken. Kenneth looks at it; she has written her phone number in strong black ink across a white space on the label. Kenneth's face is hard, but he is clearly impressed; he thinks he has found his partner]

Jeff[after Kenneth steals some lasers]Fuckin' lasers?
[Jeff has changed from smiling maniacally to frowning]
JeffOh, well, who wouldn't want to go back? It's an amazing opportunity. To go back in time, you know? See gladiators, and watch dinosaurs with my own eyes. Have sex with a pilgrim? That's all I wanted. I want to go back. It's neat. Who wouldn't want to go back, Kenneth? YOU want to go back. Why do YOU want to go back? Well, do you need a partner?
JeffWell, he's the real deal. That ad is no prank. He's not, like, retarded, but there's something wrong with this guy. Definitely didn't like my ass, I'll tell you that.
