Theorising that one could time travel
within his own lifetime,
Doctor Sam Beckett stepped into the
quantum leap accelerator
and vanished.
He woke to find himself trapped in
the past,
facing mirror images that were not
his own
and driven by an unknown force to
change history for the better.
His only guide on this journey is Al,
an observer from his own time,
who appears in the form of a hologram
that only Sam can see and hear.
And so Doctor Beckett finds himself
leaping from life to life,
striving to put right what once went
wrong,
and hoping each time that his next
leap will be the leap home.

You pig!
Ow, what are you doing?
Shut up back there.
Alex, leave your
little brother alone.
I'm a kid.
You're a twerp.
Ow!
I said shut up!
Oh, oh, Butchie!
(LAUGHTER)
Oh, boy!
PATSY CLINE: Crazy
Leaping around in time I've run up
against some pretty tough characters.
Violent bikers, mafia hitmen,
psychotic killers.
But never anyone quite a menacing as
a big sister.
Noogie time, Butchie, noogie time.
Noogie time, noogie time.
Alexandra,
must you torment your little brother?
Yeah.
Why?
Somebody's got to.
We got to toughen
him up
for Pop Warner, right, Butchie?
Yeah, yeah, I guess so.
All this toughening up is going to
kill the kid.
Mom, that's a risk we have to take.
Hey, hey, Butchie, think fast!
Oh, come on, Butchie.
How do you expect to make first
string with cissy reflexes?
Frank, stop it.
Listen, think maybe we could stop up
here somewhere?
I really have to go to the bathroom.
What?
You just went back at Stuckey's ten
minutes ago.
I did? I mean, I did, but I didn't.
I mean, I really have to go again.
Tough luck, scout, we've got a
schedule to keep.
That's a great book.
How did you hear about it?
The Feminine Mystique?
By Betty Friedan? Started the whole
feminist revolution in the '60s.
Yes, but it just came out.
I know, but I think that's what
they're predicting is gonna happen.
Hey, hey, hey, state line!
OTHERS: Bye-bye, Wyoming, hello,
Colorado.
RADIO: President Johnson signed the
act into law
which will prohibit racial
discrimination in employment
Civil Rights Bill of '64.
Remember that, kids, everyone
deserves
a fair chance in this country.
All right, Hank!
Hank?
RADIO: # What'll I Do?
And I am blue, what'll I do?
Oh, no, that's our song!
Your song?
Yes, your father and I
danced to that at the graduation
prom.
I was going off to North-Western
and your father was going to play
football at Florida State.
How come you didn't go?
Er Your father persuaded me to
stay.
(TURNS IT UP) He used to sing this
song to me.
Emma, come on!
(RADIO OFF)
Excuse me, but how long before we
gethome?
Well, let's see, that'll be just a
little bit over 6,000 miles.
Mom, I think Butchie's going to puke
again.
Alex, a lady doesn't say puke, she
says throw up.
Yeah, well, he looks like he's going
to do that, too.
Butchie, are you car sick?
Yeah.
Yeah, could we just pull up
somewhere,
like the next corner, and drop me
off?
Hank, I think we'd better pull over.
Honey, honey, we got to stick to the
schedule,
otherwise the whole trip will be
snafu'd.
What do you think you're doing?
I'm seeing how close we are.
If you were the navigator we'd be in
Chihuahua by now.
(LAUGHS)
Oh, come on, honey, why don't you
just stick to working the radio?
Hey, hey, hey, come on, fold it
right, will ya?
I may not be able to read a stupid
map
but I know a lot about more important
things.
Wild Willy's.
Oh, great (!) Giant vegetables,
two-headed snakes and buffalo chimps.
Buffalo chimps?
(SCREECHING)
OK, Butchie boy, you're next!
Hank, if the boy doesn't want to -
Emma, he's been bugging me
about this the whole trip.
I'm gonna
see him pet a chimp
if it's the last thing I do.
I'll be at the snack bar.
ErMom, I
Just do what your dad tells you,
Butchie.
He seems to know what's best for
everybody.
Daddy, maybe we should take a before
picture.
So we can remember what he looked
like.
Look, Dad, I don't really want to
go - Get in there, monkey boy.
(SCREECHING)
Smile, Butchie!
(FAIRGROUND MUSIC AND FIREWORKS)
Hey!
Argh!
Aw!
All right, that's it! That's it!
Argh!
Don't you like my knee?
Sam, you've got to be Butchie.
No, I don't.
What are you going to do about it?
AL: That's the rule.
I'm going to break it.
I'd like to
see you try it, monkey boy.
I don't have to take this.
BOTH: Oh, yes, you do.
Ow!
Just remember, when you least expect
it
.
.
expect it.
She's going to have a big future as a
mud wrestler and she's only 14½.
Did she call me monkey boy?
She did.
Yeah.
She called me monkey boy!
That's her job.
You're 13, she's your big sister,
that's her job.
I'm old enough to be my own father.
That's a first.
Let's see.
Your name is Butchie
Rickett and you and your family
just left your home in Pahokee,
Florida,
for a 9,000 mile trip across the
country.
Al, I've done this before.
You've done what?
I've done this, taken this trip.
I mean, not this trip but when I was
my father packed the five of us into
our tiny station wagon
and we went across the United States
on a summer vacation.
Guess I must have blocked it out.
Once was enough.
Tell me what I
gotta do so I can get out of here.
Take it easy, you've only got 5,900
miles to go.
Well, let me guess, I'm here to stop
the evil big sister
from noogie-ing Butchie to death.
It would be nice if it was that
simple.
It's July 4th 1964
and when the fireworks go off
tonight,
your mom - Butchie's mom - runs out
on the family.
What, she abandons them? Well, they
never see or hear from her again.
I can't believe that.
I can.
Is that the guy she runs off with?
Well, Ziggy doesn't have any data on
that,
but it doesn't take a computer to
figure out what's on his mind.
Butchie, I want you to meet someone.
Come here.
Billy, this is Butchie.
Hello, Butchie.
Hi.
Your boy's got quite a grip.
And Alexandra, well, she's running
around somewhere.
Billy McCann, I can't believe this.
God, that sounds nice.
Everybody up
north calls me William.
You'll always be Billy to me.
Look at you!
Has it been 14 years?
Um, 15.
You look even prettier than I
remember.
That is the oldest line in the
manual.
Come over here.
I'm out of here.
Where are you going?
I want you to meet someone.
Trust me, Sam, I've seen this
scenario before and I don't like it.
Please don't let it happen to Em and
her family.
(AL'S DEVICE BEEPS)
And Beth, this is Butchie.
Hi, Butchie.
Hi, hi.
You two are almost the same age.
I'm
going to high school in September.
What grade are you in? I'm uhking
of I'm between grades.
For the summer.
(LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) Er, Mom, we
really should be hitting the road,
don't you think?
Oh, darling, I'd like
to spend some time with my old
friend here.
I guess you two went to high school
together.
Yeah, we were on the same speech
team together.
State champs in Dramatic Interp.
'What satisfaction canst thou have
tonight?
'The exchange of thy love's faithful
vow for mine.
'
'I gave thee mine before thou didst
request it,
and yet I would it were to give
again.
'
'Wouldst thou withdraw it? For what
purpose, love?'
Barf! What is that from?
Romeo And Juliet.
And I thought all you ever read was
Mad magazine.
Yeah, well,
they did a Shakespeare parody in the
last issue.
Oh!
I can't believe you remembered that.
Those were the best times ever.
What about North-Western? I heard you
got your PhD.
You could have gotten yours if you'd
come to.
Yeah, well,
other things were more important.
I'm a housewife.
And a mom.
Is your wife here?
Laura passed away some time ago.
Oh, Billy! I'm so sorry.
We're OK now.
Thanks.
I'm sorry.
Listen, Mom, Dad's
probably looking all over for us.
Hey, hey, Butchie, think fair!
Oh, scout, reflexes, reflexes,
reflexes.
Thanks, Dad.
Hey, look who's here.
BillyBilly McCann!
Hank.
Hey! I'm sorry I didn't recognise
you, man.
You've got bigger since I saw you
last.
You, too.
Oh, well, you know,
prairie dogs and buffalo chips'll do
it to you every time.
Well, what brings you up here?
Summer vacation.
Beth loves animals, so - Butchie boy
here
has been yammering about petting a
chimp
ever since we left Florida, right,
scout? I guess so.
So you stayed on after Florida
State? Yeah, yeah.
I broke my hip freshman year and
college wasn't really for me
so I started delivering poultry and,
what do you know,
I own my own factory now.
So how about yourself?
Oh, Billy got his doctorate, he's
teaching college.
Oh, hey, well, that's greatDoc!
So where are you working?
I was at North-Western for seven
years and then I was at Yale,
Cornell, Berkeley.
Oh, sounds like he
can't hold down a job, eh, scout?
(LAUGHS) Actually, we've got a
couple of offers from back east
Beth and I are trying to make up our
minds.
That sounds so exciting.
Well, we probably should be hitting
the road, huh? Yep, 1400 hours.
OK.
Listen, are you -
It was real good seeing you again,
Billy.
Are you passing through northern
California on your trip?
Uh, yeah, what? July 26th, 1700
hours, we're doing Frisco.
Well, we live right across the Bay in
Berkeley.
Why don't you all come over for
dinner? That would be wonderful.
Oh, God, it's great seeing you
again, Billy.
You, too, Emma.
Come on, scout, let's go find your
sister.
Take it easy, Butchie.
The good news was, Emma was still
with her family.
The bad news
You're over, you're over! Mom,
Butchie's over!
.
.
so was I.
Butchie, you know better.
He's over, he's over!
Over what?
On my side! His shoes are covered
with monkey do.
Have a cow, why don't you?
Have a cow.
Have a purple ***!
Ow! Oh, get off, get off!
OK, separate!
RADIO: # THE FOUR SEASONS:
Walk Like A Man
It will be fun visiting Billy and
Beth.
Well, if we have the time.
Oh, let's make the time, hm?
Oh, honey, we've got Fisherman's
Wharf, Golden Gate, Sausalito,
Chinatown, Top Of The Mark.
Our
schedule's already packed.
Well, then, uh, let's change it.
Mom, I think it would be better if we
don't -
BOTH: Stay out of this, Butchie.
Oh, no, you can't, Sam.
Al!
Yes.
(AL'S DEVICE BEEPS)
What are you doing?
Reading.
Checking up on you.
You have to see
that Emma never sees Bill or calls
him again.
How?
First
Get that card and toss it out the
window.
Then string those into things called
sentences
I can't do that!
That's because you're a moron.
Alexandra, I've told you, don't call
your brother a moron.
But, Mom, he is.
It's the only way you are going to
save this family and re-body.
Hey, Em Er, Mom.
Mm-hm.
Can I take a look at that card?
Thanks.
RADIO: # THE SUPREMES: Baby Love
Well, go on, toss it out!
Sam, toss it out!
Go ahead!
OK, good, and now don't ever litter
again.
It's just a special case this time.
Oh, no!
What's wrong?
Oh, I was holding the card by the
window
and it just kind of flew out the
window.
I'm sorry.
What?!
Hank, stop, turn around.
Honey,
we're never going to find it.
Hank! When we get to Frisco, we'll
call Information.
Maybe I won't have to.
Damn! Emma leaves after all.
Hank, that was Billy.
You can't stop, Sam.
No, no, it wasn't.
Yes, it was.
I'm sure it wasn't.
Keep on driving, Dad.
Hank, we have
to stop and go back and help them.
Mom, even if it was Billy, he can
fix it himself.
Honey, there's a gas station a couple
of miles back.
What kind of example is that to set
for the children? A fine example.
Oh, what's that? It teaches us to be
more self-reliant,
take care of ourselves.
Go to the head of the class!
Hank, stop and turn around.
Dad,
we're going to get off our schedule.
He's got a point, honey.
What is
helping him for ten minutes
going to do?
Destroy this family! Sam!
Just keep going, Dad, he'll be fine.
Uh, I guess your mom's right.
Sam! I'm out of here.
(WHIZZES OFF)
I'm warning you, Butchie, you're on
my side.
Butt over!
(ENGINE STARTS)
Well done.
Well, I guess that PhD
doesn't come in handy for auto
repair.
Well, I am worthless when it comes
to cars.
Ah, well, 'Be prepared'! Right,
scout?
Oof! Yeah, well, we ought to hit the
road, huh?
Thanks again.
Lucky we ran into you.
Yeah.
Do it again soon.
OK.
Thanks for doctor what's-his-name
back there
we are an hour off our schedule.
If it's our schedule, how come you
decide when and what we do?
Cos I'm the dad.
So that makes you boss?
Of course!
Maybe if we all just -
BOTH: Butchie!
Yeah, twerp!
I don't know why we can't be a
little more spontaneous.
Spontaneous? Well, if that's what
you want,
why don't you ride with
Mr Spontaneous back there?
He's so smart he doesn't even bring
a screwdriver on a cross-country
trip.
Huh!
If he had extra room I just might.
Do you want me to turn around?
Oh, no, no, no.
I don't want to throw off OUR
schedule.
We're already late, what difference
does it make?
Then stop here.
Fine.
(TYRES SQUEAL)
Mom!
My little runaway
Run-run-run-run runaway
Aren't you going to go after her?
She'll come back.
Well, what if she doesn't?
Mom!
Mom!
What's going on, Mom?
You wouldn't understand.
Come on, I'm thirteen.
Yeah, my little man.
Gosh, how'd you grow up so fast,
huh?
You and Alex will be off to college
before you know it and
I don't know, I'm just kind of
Afraid to be alone?
No.
I mean, I'm already by myself most
of the day.
Daddy's at work and you kids are at
school.
I've got time to do whatever I want.
It's just
.
.
not like I thought it would be.
I know I've got no right to
complain.
I mean
not with what Grandma went through
and other folks, struggling for
money and jobs.
And your daddy makes a good living.
Uh-huh.
I know I should be happy.
No, Mom, not if you don't feel
fulfilled.
Now, thisthis doesn't mean that I
don't love you and Alex and Daddy.
I know.
I know, Mom.
Just that I um
.
.
want something more?
I want to spend some part of my life
as me.
Whoever that is.
Not just as someone's, I don't know,
daughter or wife or
Or mother.
(SIGHS)
I want to I want to stop feeling
like
A non-person.
Yeah.
A non-person.
I feel like a non-person.
(WEEPS)
Then you should do more.
You should
do something more.
What?
Oh, do something more!
That was the theme of my speech at
graduation.
You were a valedictorian?
Yeah.
I wrote this great speech.
About taking chances and reaching
beyond the expected.
I should have listened to myself,
huh?
Instead of
spending my lifewondering.
About the road not taken.
Yeah.
Guess it's too late for that now.
No, it's not.
That's what I'm saying
you can do anything you want.
You could go on a whole new
direction.
You could go back to school.
Ohhh, I can't do that! Not with all
those young kids.
Yeah, but you're young, too.
In the '60s, housewives started
will start going back to college.
How do you know?
Well, I
A lot of my friends moms are starting
classes.
Really?
Yeah.
And you're smart.
And you owe it to yourself to do the
best thing for you.
Well, if Daddy doesn't think it's
such a good idea -
It's not his decision, it's yours.
You don't know how he'll react yet.
What? No, no way.
I'm talking about a few classes at
the JC.
Honey, it's called Junior College
cos it's for kids.
Well, actually, a lot of adults go.
Butchie!
Besides, we can't afford it.
Then I'll get a part-time job.
Damn it, Emma, there's no reason for
you to be working.
Then there's no reason I shouldn't go
to college.
Junior Colleges are very inexpensive
and you can get -
You keep talking, mister, and you'll
be educated in the military school.
CHIPMUNK : Hi, there, campers,
welcome to Camp Chipmunk! Ha-ha-hah!
Hi, there, campers, welcome
Finally made it, scout.
Know how long
it took to get these reservations?
Six months.
You're in luck, we just had a
cancellation.
Billy!
They must have gotten ahead of us
when we pulled over.
This is weird, Al, no matter what we
do, we keep running into him.
Maybe she told him where you were
going.
Maybe sometimes you can't fight
fate.
Well, you have to, Sam.
How?
I'm a kid, nobody listens to me.
All I do is, I get teased and
ignored.
You've dealt with a lot tougher guys
than that bozo over there.
It would be easier if this guy Bill
were a jerk but he's not.
He's actually a pretty OK guy.
Well, so's Hank.
Hey, it's 1964, guys were different
then but they're gonna change.
I don't know.
You've got to give Hank a chance,
cos if you don't Alex gets pregnant
in two years
and Butchie doesn't even finish high
school.
If she leaves, she destroys the whole
family.
What happens to her? I don't know,
we don't have any data on Emma.
Just that sometime tonight she runs
away.
Even if I stop her, who's to say
that she's gonna wait for Hank to
change?
Maybe you're right, maybe any mother
that leaves her kids isn't worth
saving.
You're taking this personally,
aren't you, Al? No!
All right, yeah, maybe I am.
My dad
wasn't there for my mom.
So sometimes I could understand that
she left him.
But she left Trudy and me, too, and I
could never understand that.
So uh
.
.
just make sure they stay together,
Sam.
Al? I promise you I'll do whatever I
can to keep Emma here.
OK.
Talking to your imaginary playmate
again, huh?
I thought you stopped believing in
Jeff Bobbin when you were six.
Ah!
I can't believe it, you're such a
baby.
Hey, stop it, he didn't do anything.
He put his hand on your leg.
Come on, Hank.
Oh! Been a while, hey, Doc?
What's wrong?
Butchie, go back to the cabin.
Hank, he didn't do anything.
I saw him put his hand on your leg!
She made a joke, I patted her on the
knee, that's all.
Yeah, and then you left it there.
I think we've all had a little too
much to drink.
Let's call it a day.
After we settle this.
Hank!
Ohhh!
It's not high school, Hank.
You
can't solve everything with a fight.
Well, just stay away from my wife.
And you stay away from me.
What do you know about women? You're
only 13 years old.
I know about Mom.
You said yesterday that everybody
deserves a fair chance.
Yeah, I was talking about minorities.
Women deserve equal rights, too,
Dad.
Equal rights!
I mean, maybe
.
.
one day, they're going to fight
for their own sort of Civil Rights
Act.
What the hell's gotten into you,
scout?
Nothing.
Nothing.
I just
I just think that if Mom wants to go
to college
she should get a chance, that's all.
I already give her everything she
needs.
The Vista Cruiser, the colour Zenith.
She doesn't know it yet but I just
got her
a full-carat rock for our 15th this
month.
Yeah, those are just
This month?
Yeah, it's as big -
Alex is 14½.
Oh
She's not going to be 15 for -
Yeah, III meant
I meant, our 16th.
Mom was pregnant.
She didn't go to North-Western
because she was pregnant with Alex.
You just keep talking, mister, and
I'll put you over my knee.
Afraid she wouldn't come back if she
went to college with Bill?
Oh, Dad!
Butchie, your mom
She's the only woman I ever loved.
But don't you see? You'll lose her
if you don't start listening to what
she needs.
Well
I'll make you a deal, son.
I'll talk to your mom.
Great.
If you beat me back to the camp.
Dad
Honey, we're finally doing so well.
We got the new house, two cars
We're getting a pool in the spring.
I don't want any stuff.
Don't you
hear me?
I feel like I'm going crazy.
OK.
OK, then, can you just tell me this.
What do you want?
I want to stop feeling
like a non-person.
A non-person?!
Yeah.
I owe it to myself to do what's
best for me.
Hell, no.
I want my own life!
Your own life?
Are you saying you want to split up?
No, Hank, no.
I love you, you know
that.
It's just that I feel like some part
of me is dying.
(SIGHS)
I haven't done anything with my life.
Yes, you did, you had two kids!
But this isn't about our kids, or our
family.
I just I thought that the deal
was that I make the money
and you make the happy home.
Well, I made a happy home.
I've made
a happy home for 15 years
and now what? Everybody goes away and
I sit home, waiting.
I don't want to wait any more.
I want to
I want to do something for me.
You know, Emma,
you're not crazy, you're just
selfish.
Then I'm not alone.
There are other women like me and
we're all sick of
Oh, we're sick of shopping and making
brownies for our living.
I'm sorry, but
I don't have an *** waxing the
damn kitchen floor.
Is that Is that what that book
says?
That's what I think of the damn
book!
(OWL HOOTS)
I told you she'd run away.
Go find
Alex.
Fireworks start in 20 minutes.
Where'd she go?
I don't know, out there somewhere,
trying to do what's best for her.
I don't know, I guess
she got tired of being a non-person.
Dad, Dad, we got to find her.
Look,
your mom has been running away
since the ninth grade.
Believe me,
she'll be back.
Not this time.
I said she'll be back!
Not unless we find her.
(TYRES SQUEAL)
What are you doing?
I thought that
Emma was with you.
So did I.
She was, a few minutes ago.
I'm sorry, Sam.
What happened? She came by the cabin
very upset.
We talked, we decided it was best if
we stayed at separate camps grounds.
I just assumed she ran off with Bill.
What happened to her?
We said our goodbyes.
We didn't
research far enough back.
Just tell me where she is.
I dropped
her at the fire road,
she said she wanted to go for a
walk.
In 1993 a woman's
skeletal remains were found at the
base of Devil's Backbone.
No!
It's just down the road.
The dental charts match Emma.
Dad -
Get in this car, scout.
Mom's in trouble.
What?
She's gonna die.
What the hell -
I can't explain it.
We got to get to
the Devil's Backbone now!
Please!
I don't see her.
Stop, stop, stop, stop!
Work with me, Al! The remains were
found at the base of that ridge.
Dad, I don't see her.
You need rope! Dad, trust me, she's
down there.
Got any rope?
Yeah.
Bring it.
Gooshie, centre me on Emma! I don't
care where she is, just do it.
God!
Hurry up, Sam, she's right down
here.
Mom!
This way!
(WHIMPERS)
Argh! Hurry! It's steep as anything
here, she's slipping.
Mom, hang on.
Emma!
Out of the way, scout.
You'll need my help, Dad.
Hang on, honey!
Oh, my God! Hold the flashlight.
Give me the rope, give me the rope.
Hang on, Mom!
OK, honey, I'm going to throw you a
rope.
Hurry, Sam!
Mom, don't let go.
Bill, I'm going to
need your help here.
I think maybe we should get the
Ranger.
OK, go.
Go!
OK, honey.
Dad, hurry!
Here comes the rope!
(FIREWORKS ***)
OK, Emma.
Make her grab the rope,
make her grab the rope.
Emma, grab the rope!
Mom, grab it!
Grab the rope, Mom.
Right next to your hand, honey.
She's frozen, Sam.
Shine the light on the rope.
