Quotes 

• Dr. Cassandra Railly : Notice anything weird about that place?

  James Cole : I'm from the apocalypse. Everything here looks weird to me.

• James Cole : [about the grotesque remains of a human body]  What the hell is that thing?

  Jennifer Goines : The origin... of my father's virus.

• James Cole : You should get some rest.

  Katrina Jones : So should you.

  James Cole : Yeah, I never really sleep before a jump. Ramse and I usually knock a couple back. It's become a kind of pre-splinter tradition.

  Katrina Jones : Now I know why our calculations are off. It's the alcohol in your bloodstream.

• José Ramse : What the hell is wrong with you? Listen. I get that you're in a rush to delete yourself.

  James Cole : Easy, man.

  José Ramse : That one's in a mad dash too. You guys are being reckless.

  James Cole : Look, we're getting close to the end of this thing, okay? If she's right about tomorrow...

  José Ramse : All right. We'll never have happened. I get it.

  James Cole : Yeah. And you won't be around to hear me say 'I told you so'.

• James Cole : Ramse and I, we, uh... we had rules for ourselves. Never kill in anger, only for self-defense. And that became food and shelter. There was one day we raided this farmhouse. And there was this... old couple. The husband went down easy. But the old lady, she, uh... she was quick. She got a knife in me before I... And, uh... so I did it. She, uh... she looked up at me, and she smiled. Like she forgave me! And I never knew it before that moment. That was what I wanted.

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : Forgiveness?

  James Cole : [nods]  I don't deserve it. I know that. But still, ever since, that's what I've been rushing towards, you know, just trying to make everything make sense. And that's what this is. You know, if I can... if I can fix this. If I can fix it... then all of it won't have been for nothing.

• Dr. Cassandra Railly : You're willing to do what is needed and I'm not. I can't. I just want to heal people. Fix things.

  James Cole : That's good. You don't wanna be like me.

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : No.
