Lyle Lanely: Now, I'm here to answer any questions you children have about the monorail.
[kids raise their hands and call out "Me! Me!"]
Ralph Wiggum: Can it outrun The Flash?
Lyle Lanely: You bet!
Child in Lisa's Class: Can Superman outrun The Flash?
Lyle Lanely: Eh - sure, why not. Hello, little girl! Wondering if your dolly can ride the monorail for free?
Lisa Simpson: Hardly. I'd like you to explain why we should build a mass-transit system in a small town with a centralized population.
Lyle Lanely: Ha, ha! Young lady, that's the most intelligent question I've ever been asked.
Lisa Simpson: Really?
Lyle Lanely: Oh, I could give you an answer. But the only ones who'd understand it would be you and me - and that includes your teacher!

The American Presidency Project
LYNDON B. JOHNSON
36th President of the United States: 1963 ? 1969
Statement by the President Upon Signing the "Freedom of Information Act."
July 04, 1966
THE MEASURE I sign today, S. 1160, revises section 3 of the Administrative Procedure Act to provide guidelines for the public availability of the records of Federal departments and agencies.
This legislation springs from one of our most essential principles: A democracy works best when the people have all the information that the security of the Nation permits. No one should be able to pull curtains of secrecy around decisions which can be revealed without injury to the public interest.
At the same time, the welfare of the Nation or the rights of individuals may require that some documents not be made available. As long as threats to peace exist, for example, there must be military secrets. A citizen must be able in confidence to complain to his Government and to provide information, just as he is--and should be--free to confide in the press without fear of reprisal or of being required to reveal or discuss his sources.
Fairness to individuals also requires that information accumulated in personnel files be protected from disclosure. Officials within Government must be able to communicate with one another fully and frankly without publicity. They cannot operate effectively if required to disclose information prematurely or to make public investigative files and internal instructions that guide them in arriving at their decisions.

Star Trek - "Metamorphosis" - tv-series Season 2 Episode 9, 11/10/1967
Episode Summary
When their shuttle is diverted to a planetoid, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy encounter Earth's Warp Drive pioneer, Zefram Cochrane, who appears to have survived there alone for 150 years.
(from internet transcript)
KIRK: I'm Captain James T. Kirk, commanding the starship Enterprise. (they shake hands) This is my first officer Mister Spock.
COCHRANE: You're a Vulcan, aren't you?
SPOCK: Correct.
KIRK: Chief Surgeon Leonard McCoy.
COCHRANE: Doctor.
MCCOY: Pleasure.
KIRK: Oh, and excuse me, Assistant Federation Commissioner Hedford.
COCHRANE: Ma'am. You're food to a starving man. All of you. Hey, that's a nice ship. Simple and clean. Been trying to get her to go again? Well, forget it. It won't work.
MCCOY: He's human, Jim. Everything checks out perfectly.
KIRK: Mister Cochrane. We were forced off our course and taken here by some force we couldn't identify.
SPOCK: Which seems to be on the surface of this body at the moment.
COCHRANE: Well, I wouldn't know anything about that.
SPOCK: You say we'll be unable to get the ship to function again?
COCHRANE: Not a chance. There's some sort of damping field down here. Power systems don't work. Take my word for it.

Time
Episode aired Nov 13, 2009
The travelers aboard the Destiny find a Kino recording a visit they have made to a planet. The only problem is that haven't visited it yet. It seems that at some point in the near future several members of the crew use the gate to travel to a nearby planet but soon after their arrival, some begin to fall sick. Fearing that they may have contracted a communicable disease TJ decides they must remain on the planet or risk spreading the disease to others aboard the ship. They soon learn they are not alone on the planet and come under attack. Aboard the Destiny, Dr. Rush tries to learn just what has happened but when crew members fall ill, as they would have if they had gone to the planet below, TJ finds there is another explanation to the illness they have contracted.
Stargate Universe - "Time" - tv-series season 1 episode 8, 11/13/2009
(from internet transcript)
[tv-series episode begins]
KINO VISION. Nearly all offworld scenes in this episode are seen through the lens of a Kino. At present it is floating several yards away from an offworld Stargate which is situated in the middle of a jungle. The Kino is high above the ramp leading down from the Stargate and it watches as eleven crew members from Destiny come through. The civilian members of the team are carrying small cases and bags, apparently intending to conduct scientific exploration. Matthew Scott is in charge of the military contingent and calls out to the marines.
SCOTT: Secure the perimeter.
(As the last member of the team, Nicholas Rush, comes down the ramp, Ronald Greer looks at their surroundings.)
GREER: Welcome to the jungle.
SCOTT (to everyone): OK, let's get to work.
Stargate Universe - "Time" - tv-series season 1 episode 8, 11/13/2009
(from internet transcript)
WALLACE: Whoa! What is that smell?!
RUSH: It's sulphur.
(He pulls out a handkerchief and puts it over his nose and mouth. Meanwhile Eli has seen Greer's discovery - what looks like a termite mound about four feet high. Steam or smoke is rising from it.)
WALLACE: Hate to see the ants that made those!
(As Eli looks around to check that the Kino is still following them, Rush goes over to the mound and - with his handkerchief still over his face - leans forward to look into it.)
WALLACE: Hey, hell, hello! What are you doing?! Haven't you seen "Alien"?!
Stargate Universe - "Time" - tv-series season 1 episode 8, 11/13/2009
(from internet transcript)
RUSH: Dial! Dial the Gate!
Shortly afterwards the Gate is open. Rush is shouting into his radio as the military continue firing into the jungle and various people scream and yell in terror.
RUSH: Destiny, come in! If you can hear me, please respond!
WALLACE: What's wrong?
RUSH: I don't know.
(The Kino pans across and shows that the event horizon of the Stargate is repeatedly fritzing.)
WALLACE: Why is it doing that?
GREER: We've gotta get out of here!
RUSH: We can't!
WALLACE (hysterical): Why is it doing that?
Stargate Universe - "Time" - tv-series season 1 episode 8, 11/13/2009
(from internet transcript)
BRODY: Hey, did you guys hear?
VOLKER: Yeah, there was a Kino already there.
PARK: How is that possible?
BRODY: We dropped out of F.T.L., the Gate dialled and we sent a Kino to check out the planet.
(A flashback shows Eli, Scott, Rush and Greer walking down the ramp from the jungle Stargate in daylight. They look around. The Kino they just sent through is floating nearby.)
BRODY: They go through and there's another one already there, lying on the ground not far from the Gate.
(Eli, looking downwards as he works his remote, sees the second Kino lying nearby.)
WALLACE: Hey, guys?
(He bends down and picks it up.)
WALLACE: We only sent one Kino, right?
BRODY: Turns out the data bank was full.
(In the flashback, Eli turns to Rush.)
WALLACE: Looks like the data bank is full.
(Rush throws up his hands, clueless.)
In the Mess, other crew members are discussing the discovery. James is sitting with Darren Becker, and Sergeant Spencer comes over and joins them.
BECKER: So what's on it?
JAMES: Us.
SPENCER: What do you mean, us?
JAMES: They're watching the recording now, but I heard that a bunch of us are on it.
SPENCER: Doing what?
JAMES: Going through the Gate to the planet to gather food, then apparently some people started getting sick. I think that I was one of them.
SPENCER: But that didn't happen.
JAMES: Obviously(!)
SPENCER: You're fine, right?
JAMES: Apparently they found human remains, too.
(In flashback, Rush is sitting on the ground and looking at what he has just found. He picks up a human skull and turns it towards himself in a Yorick moment. He looks up at the soldier standing nearby.)
(In the Mess, James shakes her head.)
JAMES: It's weird, huh?
(Becker nods in agreement.)
Stargate Universe - "Time" - tv-series season 1 episode 8, 11/13/2009
(from internet transcript)
WALLACE: We were only there for, like, a half hour at most.
JOHANSEN: It's more than enough time to come in contact with a contagion.
SCOTT: No, wait a second. You're worried because people got sick on this recording, which never happened.
RUSH: Well, we don't know that.
YOUNG: What are you saying?
RUSH: Well, that it's clearly us. The recording happened somehow.
WALLACE: What do you think was wrong with the Gate?
RUSH: Looks like the wormhole connection was unstable. It would have been extremely dangerous to even attempt travel.
Stargate Universe - "Time" - tv-series season 1 episode 8, 11/13/2009
(from internet transcript)
WALLACE: Something's wrong with the Gate. Rush doesn't think we can risk using it, even with what's happened.
(He picks up a roll of duct tape, unravels and then bites off a strip, then reaches for the Kino and moves it to a nearby military helmet and starts to tape the device onto the top of it. He continues talking.)
WALLACE: We can't reach Destiny on radio either, so apparently we're trapped here. There's twenty-two hours until Destiny jumps back into F.T.L.
(He pulls more duct tape off the roll and bites it off. He reaches over the back of the Kino and attaches the tape as he continues his report.)
WALLACE: The creatures seem to be nocturnal. They stopped coming once the sun came up. Hopefully the Gate will start working before it gets dark again.
Stargate Universe - "Time" - tv-series season 1 episode 8, 11/13/2009
(from internet transcript)
RUSH: Most people realise their own mortality at some stage of the game, Eli. It's not a particularly unique experience.
[commentary by the person transcribing the dialog:] (On Destiny, Rush looks sympathetically at Eli, knowing that that kind of sarcasm wasn't what he needed in the circumstances.)
WALLACE (in the cave) (bitterly): I know.
RUSH: The question is, did it change you? Did it inspire you to make something of this short existence that we have?
WALLACE: Well, I'm here, aren't I?
(Rush lifts his head and gazes off into the distance.)
RUSH: Of course, the Ancients evolved to a point where their physical bodies were no longer necessary, found a way for consciousness to become immortal.
WALLACE: D'you really think that's possible?
RUSH (determinedly): I know it is.
(He pauses for a moment, then smiles awkwardly at Eli.)
RUSH: Maybe not for you and me, but that idea - it's the reason why I ended up here.
WALLACE (hesitantly): So, you think if we learn enough, that-that somehow, somewhere out there, we could discover how it's done?
(Rush doesn't answer for a long time but finally half turns towards Eli.)
RUSH: We have to make it through the day.

WALLACE: Did using the other remote help?
RUSH: We were able to get a connection, but the wormhole's still unstable. Nothing from Destiny on the radio.
WALLACE: Well, is it broken or is there a chance it could resolve by itself?
RUSH: There are a number of things that could be causing temporary interference.
WALLACE: Well, we have eleven hours until Destiny is supposed to jump back into F.T.L.
RUSH (shaking his head in frustration): There's no way of telling how long it's gonna last.
WALLACE: And I guess it would be crazy to just try and go anyway.
RUSH: Look, we can't assume that the Gate is actually even connecting to Destiny. There'd be very little chance of surviving an unstable wormhole.

(from internet transcript)
(The chittering becomes louder. Scott rears up on his knees, snatches out his pistol, turns and fires a single shot. The beastie that was creeping up on him writhes at the impact of the bullet and dies. Scott turns back around, looks at his watch and then looks at the steady event horizon hopefully.)
SCOTT: Come on!
(As if in response, the event horizon begins to fritz. Scott gazes at it for a moment, then lifts the Kino again and stares into it intently.)
SCOTT: Please believe me. You don't have much time. Act now, or you are all going to die.

Later. Night has fallen and it's pouring with rain. Eli and Rush are sitting side by side near the Gate with a tarpaulin over their heads. The military crew are keeping an eye on the surrounding area.
Eli WALLACE: Well, this couldn't get much worse.
Dr. Nicolas RUSH: I'm afraid that's a failure of imagination.

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too. I have these thoughts too that I was captured by enemy forces at some point and tortured while in captivity.

As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.
and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.

This sounds very interesting. In my memory of taking Physics my Senior year at Ashdown, I remember being very interested in the class, but we didn’t cover such an interesting topic.

I think I even have memories of the graduate degree process. I am not sure of the terms to describe the process.

I actually do remember... something... I can’t explain it. It feels that I am holding an unmarked, undistinguishable book that I don’t know the name of or the contents but I know I have read it already.

A few minutes ago I started thinking that maybe I started at Princeton University in 1972. I would have been 13 at the time as Thomas Ray. I remember that Kerry Burgess started first grade in 1972. But then I decided that I probably started Princeton earlier than 1972 and maybe 1972 was the year I completed my first major degree. Or 1972 doesn’t really mean anything in particular to Thomas Ray; rather it is there for continuity sake for the life of Kerry Burgess.

Salesman
Also, "Salesman." I saw that in a dream while sleeping recently. I saw myself going through an induction process in the United States Marine Corps and I woke up understanding that I was dreaming of my actual experience in 1990. I saw a document that indicated I was being inducted to the United States Marine Corps with the officer grade of Chief Warrant Officer 2. I saw in the dream another document associated with my induction and that document indicated I had been assigned the informal name "Salesman."
