Quantum Leap1989

Al, the Bartender:
You're not here to save them.

Sam:
How did you know what I was thinking?

Al, the Bartender:
A good bartender has to be part philosopher, part psychiatrist, part psycic.

Sam:
Al, I'd like to talk to the philosopher part.

Al, the Bartender:
I just stick to the basics.

Sam:
Okay, okay. "To be or not to be," "I think therefore I am," That sort of thing?

Al, the Bartender:
Uh-huh.

Sam:
Uh-Huh. Why am I here?

Al, the Bartender:
Why do you think you're?

Sam:
No, no, no, no. That's answering a question with a question. That's psychiatrist stuff, all right? We're talking philosophy. Now why am I here?

Al, the Bartender:
You're beginning to think you're here to save Tonchi and Pete.

Sam:
But I'm not.

Al, the Bartender:
Not directly.

Sam:
What about indirectly?

Al, the Bartender:
Who knows what Don Quixote can accomplish?

Sam:
Who are you?

Al, the Bartender:
Bartender.

Sam:
Who knows everything?

Al, the Bartender:
Only God knows everything.

[laughs]

Al, the Bartender:
You don't really think I'm god, do you?

Sam:
You're more than just a bartender.

Al, the Bartender:
Well that's true. I own the place too.
