Quotes
-
Abby Maitland : You shouldn't be messing with nature like this. We don't understand enough about the anomalies.
Connor Temple : Scientists are always messing with nature. It's what we do. It's called progress.
Abby Maitland : Do you know what I think?
Connor Temple : What?
Abby Maitland : You kept this secret because deep down you feared you were doing wrong.
-
Abby Maitland : What would Cutter say if he could see you now? He would never put people in danger for the sake of research.
Connor Temple : Cutter was a scientist, just like Philip. He wanted to change the future.
Abby Maitland : No, he didn't. He really didn't, Connor. That's what *Helen* wanted.
-
Connor Temple : Listen, Matt, I know how you must feel about me right now, but that machine is the most important thing I've ever worked on and I never thought that anybody would get hurt.
Matt Anderson : You think that was bad? It hasn't even started yet.
-
Matt Anderson : What's the plan?
Connor Temple : I'm going to open my anomaly, recalibrate it to send out a pulse of gamma energy, that should wipe out all the beetles at once.
Matt Anderson : That'll kill everything in the ARC.
Connor Temple : Never said it was a perfect plan.
-
Abby Maitland : I'd better get the others to the panic room. What about you two?
Connor Temple : Once this is open, there'll be time for us to get there.
Abby Maitland : Is that true? This isn't some noble sacrifice Armageddon thing where you blow yourselves up to save the rest of us?
Connor Temple : Well, I hope not, if I'm honest.
-
Matt Anderson : Was that true? Is there time?
Connor Temple : I'm not sure. But if we don't try this, then everybody dies.
Matt Anderson : So what are we looking at here, 50-50?
Connor Temple : Uh...
Connor Temple : 60-40? I can live with those odds.
Connor Temple : Let's just say... better than winning the jackpot on the National Lottery
Matt Anderson : That's like 10 million to 1!
Connor Temple : Yeah. I did say "better than".
-
Philip Burton : I'm sorry, Connor. I have no choice.
Connor Temple : Philip, whatever you've done, cancel it. I need one more minute. I'm nearly there.
Philip Burton : Think what would happen if they got out. Into homes, hospitals, into schools
Connor Temple : Into New Dawn, you mean.
-
Matt Anderson : What's wrong?
Connor Temple : I had to check, had to be sure.
Matt Anderson : What?
Connor Temple : The beetles must have chewed through the wiring so the fail-safe didn't work. But Philip did it. He ran the incineration program. He was going to kill us all.
