Lorraine: I'll be right back.

Sam: O.K.

Attendant: Looks like you've got yourself a flat.

Sam: Yeah. Yeah, I need to get a new tire. How much?

Attendant: Why didn't you just put on the spare?

Sam: Well, 'cause the spare is flat, too.

Attendant: Mm. You gotta watch that. I could patch that one up for you until you get yourself a new wheel, 'cause that one's shot.

Attendant: That's O.K. O.K., O.K., O.K., I'm sure I have something that will work, but it will cost you. Eighty dollars.

In the network version, just after Sam steals the service station attendant's truck, there's about .3 second more of the shot of the truck racing down the road.

 


The network closing credits are run over a long outtake sequence of Sam playing "Somewhere in the Night" on the piano for Lorraine in the lounge. The syndicated closing credits are run over freeze-frames from this sequence using the standard shortened version of the "Quantum Leap" theme.
