- Katarina Jones: I don't know who of you believes in a god. And if so, what kind? A god of absolutes. Or a god of compromise. My god of late has been time. Time doesn't concern itself with morality or good or evil, but with if and when. A god who understands that I've already done that which I will one day do. Our sins precede us. They define us. One hopes, in the name of order and necessity, wrong for the sake of right.
- Deacon: You wanna pull people together, you put them through hell. You wanna split people apart, give 'em a secret.
- Katarina Jones: We are faced now with an opportunity. The Witness, in his earliest days. But let's not soften the truth. We are going to kill a child. A boy of unknown origin. A man with a certain future. Both the architect of our destruction. We must not delude ourselves with a notion of innocence. The boy is the man. A totality of moments. And we have ended, once again, where we began. One life in exchange for seven billion. We don't just have an opportunity. We have an obligation. The bullet doesn't kill in one second. It kills in every second. We're just placing it then where we need it to be now. One more thing, no god shall forgive us this sin. Perhaps none should. For that, all we have is each other. And the great absolution of time... that we might have never sinned at all.
- Dr. Lasky: Voila!
- Deacon: "Voila" is usually proposed to express satisfaction or approval. I'm not getting either from that piece of shit.
- Katarina Jones: That piece of shit is how we are going to disable the Guardians' unique advantage.
- Dr. Julian Adler: Think of it as a modified EMP device, which will dampen all electronics and generate a burst of interference, to which even these suits will be susceptible.
- Whitley: So what does that get us?
- Katarina Jones: A window. A very narrow window. Hannah?
- Hannah Jones: We'll splinter to 1953, to the exact moment James and Casssandra located the Witness's safe house. We'll detonate, then we'll engage.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: My mother died of an embolism. I was at school, and... I saw my father walk into the classroom. And I knew. His eyes. And the last time I saw her, she asked me to go somewhere with her. A museum. And I said no. She had this look. I think somehow she knew that she was... That was our last moment together.
- James Cole: I'm sorry.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: I don't know who our son is. Or why. I just know that I can't have someone that I should have loved... ever look at me like that again.
- Dr. Cassandra Railly: We... kill the Witness - reset time. There is no you and me. No us and him. We don't get to change the past and keep the future.
- James Cole: Just act natural.
- Jennifer Goines: I am a natural actor, but I've never acted naturally in my life.
- Dr. Railly (Cassandra's Mother): [to Cassie] Never give up on family. You fight, win or lose. It's what mothers do.
