- Dr. Raymond Swain: [after finding out that Tony was at the complex] I know it isn't possible, but Tony had to be here. There's the note he left. And our research is gone. He must have taken it with him.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: Ray, how can you explain it?
- Dr. Raymond Swain: The time warp, obviously. Tony came back with such great acceleration, he was able to do all these things in between two beats of a microsecond of time.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: He was here, and we couldn't even see him?
- Dr. Raymond Swain: That's about the size of it.
- Dr. Ann MacGregor: And he went back- deliberately went back.
- Dr. Raymond Swain: He had to, Ann, to save Doug.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: Can we let them know somehow that we got the message?
- Dr. Raymond Swain: They'll know that when we switch them.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: I mean now, so they'll be certain. What about voice contact?
- Dr. Raymond Swain: It hasn't worked for us yet.
- Lt. Gen. Heywood Kirk: We got a good fix. Maybe it will this time. Patch me in. I'm gonna try.
- Dr. Raymond Swain: All right. Ann?
