  Episode Summary  
September 13, 1956/Summer 1968: In 1989 Doctor Samuel Beckett takes an elite group of scientists into New Mexico to develop a top secret project called "Quantum Leap". Even though it is not ready yet and Gooshie warns Sam not to leap, he steps into the accelerator. Sam awakes with his memory "swiss-cheesed". Al tells Sam who he is, how he got there and what he has to do to leave. Striving to put right what once went wrong, Sam Beckett leaps from life to life, hoping each time, that his next leap, will be the leap home.

  Episode Quotes  
Sam: Who created this Ziggy?
Al: You. Quantum Leap is your baby. You're the genius behind it. At least you were before your brain got magnafluxed.
Sam: No, no, see, I'm a medical doctor. I found that much out.
Al: You hold six doctorates, Sam. Medicine is just one. Your special gift was quantum physics. Time magazine even called you the next Einstein. The truth is, if there's one guy who could figure how to bring you back...it's you.
Sam: And I can't even remember my name.
Al: (hesitates) Beckett. Sam Beckett.
 
Sam: Why didn't I leap all the way?
Al: 12 years in a blink isn't bad, Sam. A couple more of those and you'll be back home.
Sam: If I leap foward again. What if I leap back?
Al: That's always possible.
Sam: In other words, what you're telling me is I could be bouncing around in time forever?
Al: No...nobody lives forever.
 
Al: We can talk about this later. Come on, I hate to miss the game.
Sam: You already know how it's going to end.
Al: I knew how it was going to end when I took Brenda into the filing room...I still took her.
 
Al: You're gonna fly out to centre.
Sam: Fox flew out to centre. I'm not Fox.
Al: (laughing) Yeah, well, you're not Roy Hobbs either.
 
Sam: Maybe this quantum leaping is not such a bad deal after all.
