Ari Millen: Adam Wexler

Quotes 

• Adam Wexler : Maybe a plague is precisely what the world needs. The liars die out. The living forget the lies. Society's great reset switch.

  James Cole : It won't reset anything. Just turns us all back into animals.

  Adam Wexler : I expose the truth to the world, and for that, I have been labeled a traitor. A monster. Maybe I should upload this plague to the masses. An analog solution for a digital problem. Give 'em a real virus this time. It'll be chaos, but then, order. Tell me, Cole. What about this world is worth saving if they would risk extinction to swat a fly?

• Adam Wexler : The Army of the 12 Monkeys.

  James Cole : You know them?

  Adam Wexler : CIA monitors groups all over the world. I always liked the weird ones. I remember him. A briefing. Cryptic. 1987. A war with the Yakuza in... Tokyo. Place called The White Dragon.

  James Cole : 1987. Leland said... What do they want? Why a plague?

  Adam Wexler : Death, time, rebirth. Monkeys. Like hours on a clock.

• Adam Wexler : You know, the CIA can murder and lie with impunity, in exchange for what? Order? Progress? Cell phones and the illusion of safety?

  James Cole : I don't know what your deal is. But if you or anybody else who's infected walks outta here alive, it's over. For everyone.

  Adam Wexler : I never thought that I would meet anyone more nihilistic than me.

• Adam Wexler : Why are you so willing to die?

  James Cole : I got it comin'. Other people don't. Order from chaos, it isn't real.
