What was Okabe going to say to Kurisu in the first episode?


I finished the anime and I still wonder what Kurisu said to Okabe in the first
episode.

She pulls Okabe out of the conference and says "Back there, you were going to
tell me something, weren't you?" and Okabe responds "Back there?". Kurisu says
"About fifteen minutes ago" and Okabe says "I don't have the slightest idea".

I guess it has something to do with

> time travel and World Line travel in episodes 23 and 24, but unfortunately I
> didn't watch those episodes that carefully.

However, what did Okabe intend to say to Kurisu, and where, and when?




Around 9 minutes into episode 24 (try watching from 08:30), Okabe from the
future (episode 24 Okabe) bumped into Kurisu on the stairs in the radio hall
building. He was going to say he would save her, but got interrupted by an
announcement over the PA system and ran off.

In episode 1, Kurisu dragged Okabe (episode 1 Okabe) from the lecture, asking
what he was going to tell her "about 15 minutes ago". He didn't know as he was
episode 1 Okabe and the one she met was episode 24 Okabe.

If you don't understand how that works... Well, that's time travel for you.
