“	Bernard Walton: Y'see, Maude, Eugene lost his memory. No, no, not like Uncle Pete, he didn't get kicked by a cow...no, Eugene was working on a top secret project to help make radios out of brain waves! Connie Kendall: No, Bernard, it was to convert brain waves to radio waves. Bernard Walton: Leave it to me, Connie; you'll only confuse her. Anyway, Eugene was doing this top-secret project but what he didn't know was that the whole thing was a sneaky trick by an evil company to do mind control on—no, no, not mime control, Maude, mind control. Right, like Aunt Gertrude. Anyway, when Eugene figured out what was going on, he left Odyssey with the research and Katrina, and they got married and traveled around the world until they thought they were safe, and after that they went to Wisconsin. Tom Riley: Washington, D.C. Bernard Walton: Right, Washington D.C., to the National Help Institute— Dr. William Foster: National Institute of Health. Bernard Walton: Exactly. And that's where Eugene started back with his top-secret research to convert the—the watchacall—with the... jahoozey.	”

“	Tom Riley: "The Pilgrim's Progress in the Similitude of a Dream". "As I walked through the wilderness, uh, of this world, I litted... lighted... on a certain place, wh-where was a den." "Where was a den"? No offense, Whit, but this writer needs to learn something about English. John Whittaker: Well, I'll be sure to tell him. Tom Riley: "As I laid me down in that place to sleep, and as I slept I dreamed a dream." What else would you dream?

You said the whole thing seemed realer than real. And that's what makes it so dangerous. Look, you know that Jesus took the sting out of death. Death is our doorway to God. But it's not something we should want or try to create! It's a locked door until God and God alone opens it for us!	”

“	Tom Riley: I'll do anything for Eugene, you know that. But I think you're goin' about this the wrong way. John Whittaker: Oh? How so? Tom Riley: Oh, come on, Whit. You're talking about relationship, about heart, and I'm wonderin'... what happened to praying? What happened to Eugene's relationship with God? How does He fit into all this technical mumbo jumbo? John Whittaker: I'm not leaving Him out, Tom. I'm praying about everything we're doing. But we have to do something. Why is it wrong to try? Tom Riley: Well, it's not wrong, I just don't agree with it. Now, if you want to manufacture a relationship through that machine of yours, that's up to you. But I think Eugene needs real relationships—with God, with us. And a lot of time, patience and prayer.	”
— #566: “A Most Extraordinary Conclusion”

— #211: “The Mortal Coil, Part 1”

— #159: “The Homecoming”

“	Eugene Meltsner: Miss Kendall... Connie Kendall: Yeah? Eugene Meltsner: I'm speechless! This is the last thing I was expecting from you, it does humble me a bit as I merely purchased a scarf for you, which was certainly bought from the heart but, not nearly as elaborate as this generous gift for which I don't know how to thank you.

“	Tom Riley: Whit? I don't know whether you can hear me or not...maybe some of what I'm sayin' will echo through. See, I tried your program in the Imagination Station, and I think I have it figured out. I think I understand what happened to ya. You did a good job on your death program, Whit—too good a job, in fact. You made a program that gives just a taste of what life after death is for a Christian. The reunion with loved ones...the warmth, the beauty of goin' to be with God... I don't know how you did it, but... you did! You made it... beautiful. And attractive. But that's the problem, Whit. Now... now you correct me if I'm wrong, but I figure you made it look so good that you wanna be there—that you wanna give up on livin'. Well, Whit, I have to tell you that you're wrong! You're wrong! I mean—I can't second-guess God, but it's like I told you before—death is the passageway to be with our Lord. It's not a door we should pass through unless God says it's time to go—that's the glory and the mystery of it! As believers, we may long for heaven, but we must remain here as servants until the Master calls us! So Whit... I figure the Imagination Station gave you a glimpse of somethin' you shouldn't have seen yet. So I'm askin' you to come back. D'ya hear me, Whit? I'm askin' you to come back! I think—I think you should come back to us! Please... please, Whit. Come back.	”

“	Bart Rathbone: We're supposed to start in a minute and I just thought I'd peek in and... you know, say something clever! Bernard Walton: Like what, Bart?

Bart Rathbone: Course that means you may as well call it quits now, if ya get my drift! Bernard Walton: Get out, Bart.	”
— #287: “Tom for Mayor, Part 2”

“	Tom Riley: Are you doin' experiments on someone else, Whit? Bernard Walton: It's that man from the NIH, isn't it? You two had a tussle and you've thrown him into the machine! John Whittaker: Oh, Bernard, you're being ridiculous. Bernard Walton: No, no, no, I was being ridiculous when I agreed to this idea twelve hours ago. Now I'm being absurd!	”
— #564: “A Most Intriguing Question”
