Prismo: My past self is doing Plan B, right?
Finn: Uh yes, although I gotta say, this whole thing seems rickety as yoga balls.
Prismo: Yeah, tell me about it.
Finn: You tell you about it!
Prismo: I think he would blow up if I did that.
Finn: Uh yes, although I gotta say, this whole thing seems rickety as yoga balls.
Prismo: Yeah, tell me about it.

Doc: Great Scott! Jennifer could conceivably encounter her future self! The consequences of that could be disastrous!
Marty: Doc, what do you mean?
Doc: I foresee two possibilities. One, coming face to face with herself 30 years older would put her into shock and she would simply pass out. Or two, the encounter could create a time paradox, the results of which could start a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space time continuum, and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worst-case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localized, limited to merely our own galaxy.
Marty: [overwhelmed] Well, that's a relief.

"I saw the back of my own head! The actual back of my actual head! No-one's done that since the Spanish Inquisition!"
"Another thought occurred to me. The night before Hawkinson had called me on the phone I had been sleeping peacefully in my Lansdowne apartment. Undoubtedly I was sleeping there peacefully that very second, for I had traveled back through time to that same night. Then... there was nothing in the world to stop me from going over to Lansdowne and waking myself up. The idea fascinated me. It occurred to me that I would have a hard time convincing myself that I was I. Suddenly I started again. It was a scientific impossibility for a man to be in two places at the same time. But I was. Another paradox."
— Raymond Cannes, Paradox 1929
