Dr. Carla Warren: Hmm.

Walter: The Casimir Effect should produce a thinner, more porous region of space-time. I only need to affect the area for long enough to cross over to the other side with the vial of the cure. And... and then, of course, recreate the effect to cross back again.
Dr. Carla Warren: Walter, you're trying to create a wormhole into another universe?
Walter: Yes! I think I just said that.
Dr. Carla Warren: Walter, you're trying to create a wormhole into another universe?
Walter: Yes! I think I just said that.
Walter: It was the first hole, Olivia. The first breach. The first crack in a pattern of cracks, spaces between the worlds. And it's my fault.

In the alternate reality, Eric Stotlz went on to star in the Back to the Future movies as Marty McFly. In "our" reality, Stoltz was let go after six weeks and replaced by Michael J. Fox after director Robert Zemekis thought Stoltz wasn't funny enough.
