Al: You can see me?
Tibby: Sure. Nice jacket.
Al: Oh, great. I'm tuned into little kids, I'm tuned into dogs, and now I'm tuned into the mentally absent! Why not blondes?
| Sam: Who are you?
Al: I'm Al. I'm your buddy. I gave you your first break. And you're the only person that believed in me when I gave up believing in myself. You brought me on this project.

Al: Hey, keep your hands out of me, will ya? God.
Tibby: Uh... I got to check my medication.
| Tibby: Well, what is it like in the future? What is it like? I mean, is it... is it real clean? Are there cars that float on air?
Al: No, uh, the air is filthy and and the cars are still on the ground. But we're working on it, Tibby.
| Sam and Al: Oh, boy!
