Forever Young

Daniel McCormick: I can't watch her die. I want to sleep for a year. Harry Finley: You've been through a lot. Daniel: I've thought it through. I've been in the service 12 years. I'm healthy. I've got no family, nowhere to go. I know tests. I know experiments. It's my job. I'm perfect. You know that. Harry: I don't even know if this thing'll work for a year. Daniel: Let me do it, please. I can't think anymore. l can't. Until she... Until it's over. Harry: You said doctors can be wrong. Daniel: That's true. If she gets better, wake me up.

Claire Cooper: Look, he hasn't seen this woman in 50 years! Hasn't he been through enough? You'll get your plane back. Just leave him alone! USAF Officer: We won't hurt him.

You know how long it takes to get to the next star system? 100 years, and that's the closest one.

Claire: That's not true. [later gives Finley's notes] Everything you ever wanted to know about freezing someone.
