Yeah, buddy! Loved Ray's explanation of why he operates the way he does, in the pilot episode.

"The world runs on money. Everybody walks around with this invisible number in their heads. You hit the figure close enough, the penny drops, you own the man. In Hong Kong, you can buy a murder for five bucks. In New York City, a sloppy job runs you five hundred. A neat, clean, professional hit, upwards of ten grand. On skid row, they'll kill you for your shoes. I take money out of the equation. My hands don't sweat, because I'm never at the pay window."

I couldn't find a clip of that on YouTube, but it's at 9:13 on this one...

When did Quantum leap start? As I recall my sister and I were regularly glued to that one. Mostly in the 80's, being a young'un, i was watching cartoons, but i don't think thats what you're looking for.

I think I must've been around 11-12 when that was on here in the UK. I thought that show had a lot of ingenuity. Real pity it only went on for 1 season.

I hope they release it on DVD soon.
