Quantum Leap1989

[Sam has leapt into Willie Walters, who, together with his brothers, has taken hostages in a bank]

Carrie Young:
Why are you doing this?

Dr. Sam Beckett:
If you could just be patient a little bit.

Neil Walters:
Let me tell her. [he holds up his hands] See these? That's what my father left my brothers and me when he died. We get up before the sun, and we don't rest till after dark. Then along comes Gus Vernon. He tells you you ain't gonna make it unless you increase the yield. Modernize, he says. Well, you're afraid of losing the only thing you got. So you go along, and you make the deal. But somehow, no matter how hard you work, you can't keep up.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Pretty soon you're selling off the milk cows to make the next payment.

Carrie Young:
It was just business.

Dr. Sam Beckett:
Well, we'd like to hear Gus Vernon explain that kind of business to us face-to-face.
