Quotes 

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

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

• Dr. Cassandra Railly : You're insane.

  Pallid Man : No, insanity and rationality may be on opposite sides of the animal, but lately, Doctor, the snake is eating its own tail. And if you were to ask *him*, he would tell you that 99.9% of all species that have ever existed, are now extinct. The natural order.

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : Him? You mean God?

  Pallid Man : No, no. Not God. The Witness.

• Dr. Cassandra Railly : [when learning that Cole has killed Henri]  I trusted you. I had a good life before I met you. A full life. Now there's just... death.

• 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.
