Attorney General Brown : We knew Decker was trying to design something. But when he sold his plans, he wasn't even halfway done.
Agent Klein : I don't understand.
Attorney General Brown : Decker was working at JPL on a laser-enhanced lens. He claimed the lens was powerful enough to see around the curvature of the universe.
[He picks up a red apple to demonstrate]
Attorney General Brown : Decker believed that if you could see around a curve that went on forever, you would end up back where you started. Looking at yourself.
[Brown tosses the apple to Klein]
Agent Dodge : Except you're not looking back at yourself now, in the present.
Attorney General Brown : No, you are not. You're looking at the future.
[Klein understands now]
Attorney General Brown : Can you imagine what'll happen if Jennings figures out what he's done and tries to profit from it? Any nation in the world would give him a king's ransom.
Agent Dodge : Jennings won't do that. I was this close to him. He never lied. When he heard what he's being accused of, he was hurt and scared.
Attorney General Brown : Fine! Once you bring him in, I'll give him the Medal of Honor. That's if Rethrick doesn't find him first!

Agent Klein : Do you think Jennings really saw the future?
Agent Dodge : Uh-huh.
Agent Klein : [with a touch of ambition] That'd be something.
