James Cole: [In 1990, James is being interviewed by a panel of mental health doctors and trying to explain the situation] 1996 is the past too, listen to me!

[the panel of doctors look at James with skeptical expressions]

James Cole: What I...

[James realizing this isn't going very well]

James Cole: ... what I need to do is make a telephone call. I can straighten this all out if I can make a telephone call.

Dr. Owen Fletcher: [Very skeptical] Who would you call? Who would straighten everything out?

James Cole: The scientists. They'll want to know they sent me to the wrong time.

[Dr Fletcher just nods]

James Cole: I can leave a voice mail message that they monitor from the present.

[Panel has mixed facial expressions]

James Cole: Can I just make one telephone call please?

[while driving, they hear a news report about a police mobilization]

Dr. Kathryn Railly: [tartly] Does that disturb you?

James Cole: No. I thought it was about us. I thought maybe they'd captured us and arrested me.

[Kathryn looks at him and he gives a small smile]

James Cole: Just a joke.
