Quotes 

• Aaron Marker : I spent my entire career putting bullshit sound bites into other people's heads. Cassie's the only person who ever filled me with anything. I can't lose her again.

  James Cole : I got a buddy, back in 2043. Always says this thing: Everybody's got two wolves inside them. Both of them are starving. The one wolf is anger, envy, pride. The other one's truth, kindness. Every day they tear each other apart. But it's not the better wolf that wins. It's the one you feed. Cassie feeds the good one.

• Alternate Katrina Jones : Your Dr. Railly was murdered - shot in 2015.

  James Cole : They must've killed her after I splintered.

  Alternate Katrina Jones : Looks like her death was the point of divergence. Somehow, her absence must have caused the plague to be released a year earlier in Chechnya. She must have been very important.

  James Cole : She was. She is.

• James Cole : Something's different with the plague, I don't know what - Chechnya, Operation Troy...

  Aaron Marker : What?

  James Cole : ...Cassie plays a role somehow.

  Aaron Marker : Operation Troy? How do you know about that? That's classified.

  James Cole : Where I come from, it's history.

• [last lines] 

  James Cole : You know, the other you told me to ask you about the cost of all this, the sacrifice. Every time I splinter, it feels like I'm being ripped apart from the inside. If I stay, I'm not coming back, am I?

  Katrina Jones : If you succeed, does it matter?

  James Cole : No. But if I don't?

  Katrina Jones : James. You and I, we're breaking the unwritten rules of the universe. But time, it's going to take what it's owed. Eventually, it will kill you.

  James Cole : How many jumps have I got left?

  Katrina Jones : Not as many as I'd like.

  James Cole : Is there enough?

  Katrina Jones : It has to be.

• James Cole : You buried me?

  Alternate José Ramse : I watched you die. We stumbled upon this place together. Soldiers beat the hell out of us.

  James Cole : Yeah, that happened.

  Alternate José Ramse : You took a hit. You never woke up.

  James Cole : That didn't happen.

• James Cole : I need to use the machine.

  Alternate José Ramse : If I fire this thing up, it's gonna drain us. We're not gonna have any power left.

  James Cole : I can undo all this - put things back the way they're supposed to be.

  Alternate José Ramse : These people, they depend on me. I gotta look out for their future.

  James Cole : There is no future. "Whatever the world is now, it doesn't have to be this." Remember? I can change it.

  Whitley : You're not actually considering this. If you turn this thing on, we'll bleed the core out. We'll be done. We can't survive.

  Alternate José Ramse : Maybe we're not supposed to.

• James Cole : You still don't believe me, do you?

  Aaron Marker : I believe that this cult is real, but, no, I don't think you're Marty McFly.

  James Cole : Who?

• José Ramse : Good to have you back.

  James Cole : Thanks, brother.

  José Ramse : You look like shit.

  James Cole : Take a look in the mirror.

• Aaron Marker : I called 9-1-1.

  James Cole : What's 9-1-1?

• James Cole : Everybody wants a plan. There's no time.

  Aaron Marker : You're a time traveler.
