Second Thoughts

Continuum 2×3

& Kellogg: Alec and I are in the process of forging a business alliance. I’m surprised he didn’t mention it.
    Kiera: You did this to get back at me!
    Kellogg: Now that’s a touch egocentric. The kid is a venture capitalist’s dream. It’s like finding Steve Wozniak at 18.

& Kellogg: Kiera, relax. I don’t want to change history, okay? I just want a ringside seat.

& Sonya: Ideas are more powerful than guns. They’re the only way to prevail against a stronger enemy. That’s the message Kagame left.
    Lucas: Yeah. Right before he blew up a building full of people.

& Kiera: Okay, who are they, Jason, these freelancers?
    Jason: Itinerant time travelers. Prospectors, adventurers, fugitives... they come in all colours. Some say they’re here to protect the time line from abuse, some say they are the abusers.
    Kiera: Okay, but... how long have they been here?
Jason: Who do you think the telescope came from?
    Kiera: I always assumed Galileo.
    Jason: Atomic bomb? Cold fusion?.. Gerry Garcia ice cream? Whenever there’s a quantum leap in technology, you’re gonna find freelancers. They might not be doing the inventing, but they’re at least pulling the strings.
    Kiera: What about Mr. Escher?
    Jason: He’s just running his own agenda. He’s a freelancer of a different stripe.
Ω Nice conspiracy.

& Jason: You want to catch a ride home... You know, you won’t be the same person you were when you left.
    Kiera: The longer I stay here, the more the future starts slipping away.
    Jason: One day you’re gonna wake up and just wonder if any of it ever really happened.

& Lucas: How’d it go?
    Sonya: You lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas. And the Protector!

& Alec: There’s free will, Kiera. If you don’t believe in that, then what are any of us doing?
