    • Quotes
      • Dr. Jason Pyatt: What if somebody went back and killed Hitler?
      • Mr. Darnell: What if Hitler *was* killed?
      • Dr. Jason Pyatt: What?
      • Mr. Darnell: What if originally Hitler was killed, and someone went back and changed it. Kept him alive. To us, we would remember it as our history, as if it always happened. Many believe that time eventually corrects itself. If Hitler was dead, someone would likely step up and take his place. Thank God, mercifully, we'll never have to test that theory.
