It’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ equality.

Here’s my theory on that. When I was institutionalized, my brain was studied exhaustively in the guise of mental health. I was interrogated, I was x-rayed, I was examined thoroughly. Then, they took everything about me and put it into a computer where they created this model of my mind. Yes! Using that model, they managed to generate every thought I could possibly have in the next, say, 10 years. Which they then filtered through a probability matrix of some kind to determine everything I was gonna do in that period. So, you see, she knew I was gonna lead the Army of the Twelve Monkeys into the pages of history before it ever even occurred to me! She knows everything I’m ever gonna do before I know it myself! How’s that?

It’s a family, the Cavanaugh’s - Ann and William. They’re eating dinner, and they just finish, and their maid comes in and she clears the plates. And they have two children, Betsy and Timmy. And Ann suggests that they all go into the drawing room, where Ann then braids Betsy’s beautiful blonde hair. The husband, he plays chess with Timmy - and then the maid comes in with strawberries and whipped cream, and they all eat a nice dessert. And that’s the act.
