Quotes 

• [last line of the series] 

  James Cole : Where are you right now? Somewhere safe? Warm? Next to someone you love? Someday, all that will be gone. Time passes how it's meant to. All that matters... is now. Happily ever... now.

• James Cole : Cassie. Please. You can end this.

  Dr. Cassandra Railly : We can have forever.

  James Cole : Then don't. You and me, we can go, we can hide in that house forever. We can raise a son who never dies. We can have it all, until it means nothing because it never ends. We'll be together forever... until we can't even remember what it feels like to find each other again... after an hour, a minute, a second apart. I'll go with you, Cassie. We can have forever... or we can have now, with an ending... that makes it real. Please... Give us an ending.

• Jennifer Goines : Well, it ain't Heaven. Just the Keys.

  James Cole : Jennifer?

  Jennifer Goines : Hi, Otter Eyes.

  James Cole : Is this real?

  Jennifer Goines : Kind of the wrong one to ask. What did I always say to you about endings? The right one...

  James Cole : Is the one - the one that you choose.

  Jennifer Goines : But sometimes... it's the one someone else chooses for them.

• James Cole : Jones.

  Jennifer Goines : She scrubbed you from the timeline. Primary code initiated with one minor edit to causality. This you - the last you - she made sure time spit you out somewhere. What use are the unwritten laws of the universe if you can't break at least one?

  James Cole : What about the risk? What - what about manipulating time?

  Jennifer Goines : Oh, time knows. But it also knows it owes you one.

  James Cole : I'm alive?

  Jennifer Goines : You're alive.

  [Cole hugs Jennifer] 

  James Cole : You were never crazy. You were the best of all of us.

  Jennifer Goines : Tell her I said hi.

• James Cole : You know, I meant to ask you where you got these things.

  [lights Jones' cigarette] 

  Katarina Jones : At Raritan. I plant tobacco. Out back. Next to the cucumbers.

• Deacon : Who are you two? Why shouldn't I just drop you right here?

  James Cole : [shows his West 7 tattoo]  'Cause we're West 7. Always have been.

  José Ramse : [also shows his West 7 tattoo]  We ride or die.

• José Ramse : So this is my reward for all this shit? I get shot? You know, with my luck, you probably miss and screw this whole this thing up, man.

  James Cole : Listen, I just wanna say...

  José Ramse : Don't, don't, don't, don't. Don't. I don't wanna waste my good-bye on this you. I wanna save it for the one that needs it.

  James Cole : We did the right thing, though, didn't we? In the end.

  José Ramse : Yep. We did it the right way, brother.
