Quotes 

• Benjamin Franklin : What of my other ideas? Did libraries catch on?

  Abbie Mills : One in every neighborhood.

  Benjamin Franklin : Splendid! Splendid. Universities? Hospitals? The post office? The Franklin stove? Bifocals? Swim fins?

  Abbie Mills : All still around. You're even on the hundred dollar bill.

  Benjamin Franklin : [Highly pleased while Crane is disgusted]  Uh huh. The hundred. How about that, Ichabod? The hundred dollar bill.

  [a thought occurs] 

  Benjamin Franklin : What is Jefferson on?

  Abbie Mills : Two dollar bill.

  Benjamin Franklin : The two! The two... Does anyone even use the two? Sounds cumbersome.

• Ichabod Crane : Listen to me. No matter what the course of fate, and no matter *how* we get there, I look forward to experiencing *your* America. It will be a pleasure to make your acquaintance all over again, Miss Mills.

  [He gives her a courtly bow at which she frowns just a little] 

  Ichabod Crane : Yes?

  Abbie Mills : It's just uh... you don't speak to me so formally in the future.

  Ichabod Crane : And what would you prefer?

  Abbie Mills : Leftenant.

  Ichabod Crane : [Smiling]  Oh. Well. Leftenant. Let us change the course of history. Again.

  [He backs up as she steps towards him with an intent look on her face. He is then shocked, then a bit embarrassed when she hugs him] 

  Ichabod Crane : Is this level of intimacy commonplace in 2015?

  Abbie Mills : Yeah.

  [She steps away to look up at him] 

  Abbie Mills : We hug it out.

• Abbie Mills : You had no choice.

  Ichabod Crane : Yes, I did. We all did.

• Abbie Mills : [Getting out of the carriage with Crane]  It took a really long time to get three miles.

  Ichabod Crane : I suppose there are flying carriages in the second millennium.

  Abbie Mills : Only for long distances.

• Colonel Sutton : [Enters the jail cell where Abbie is kept]  One of the greatest minds of the colonies has died. And *you* are going to answer for it.

  Abbie Mills : Colonel, I'm on your side. I've got information for you.

  Colonel Sutton : [Advancing on her and brandishing a club at her]  Oh, the same sort you had for Captain Crane.

  Abbie Mills : [Slowly stands]  There have been a lot of developments in close quarter combat.

  Colonel Sutton : Are you threatening me? Save your breath. For after you have tasted America's true strength.

  [He swings the club at her and she expertly blocks his blow, knocks the club out of his hand, then gets him in a head lock and chokes him until he almost loses consciousness] 

  Abbie Mills : Now, that's true American strength.

  [She slams his head against the cell bars] 

• Abbie Mills : What made you come back?

  Ichabod Crane : [Holding up her cell phone]  I viewed a moving picture in which you and I attempted to create a still picture.

• Grace Dixon : Oh my Lord. It's *you*. The witness.

  Ichabod Crane : I'm sorry. Witness?

  Abbie Mills : That's the technical term for us.

  Ichabod Crane : [Trying not to be overwhelmed]  Of course, it is.

• Abbie Mills : You ready, Captain?

  Ichabod Crane : Ready, Leftenant.

• Ichabod Crane : What do you know of me?

  Abbie Mills : Well, uh, Katrina inspired you to abandon your allegiance with the crown. But, when Abraham van Brundt couldn't pick out the right engagement necklace for her, you did. And she couldn't hide her feelings for you anymore. And you couldn't hide yours for her.

  Ichabod Crane : Is this the story his majesty's spies have on record?

  Abbie Mills : I don't know. Cuz I'm not a spy. And if I were, I'd be pretty peeved off at the flimsiness of the "I am from the future." cover.

  Ichabod Crane : Suppose I was to entertain the notion of time travel and a horseman of death, what do you propose we do in order to not, as you elegantly put it, screw up history forever?
