Quotes 

• Connor Temple : Philip! The machine doesn't save the world. It destroys it.

  Philip Burton : Well, you know that's not true, because you helped design it.

  Connor Temple : And it was a mistake. You have to listen to me. Matt says that-...

  Philip Burton : Matt is a soldier, a grunt.

  Connor Temple : He's from the future! He was sent back because the world he was living in was dying. Because of us, Philip. Because of the machine that we built. I'm sorry, Philip. I can't let you turn it on.

  Philip Burton : You have no idea how ridiculous you look right now, Connor.

  Connor Temple : See, I know that you think you're doing the right thing, but you couldn't be more wrong. New Dawn kills everything.

  Philip Burton : That is pure nonsense.

• Connor Temple : The anomalies, they're they're opening up everywhere.

  Jess Parker : All over the world.

  Philip Burton : This is it, Convergence has come. We're about to make history.

• Connor Temple : You knew this was going to happen. Yet when I told you about my theory on Convergence, you just dismissed it like it was nothing.

  Philip Burton : I couldn't support your theory, Connor. If I had, you'd have become distracted, working on contingency plans for the ARC.

  Connor Temple : Exactly. Now we're not ready and people are going to die.

• Matt Anderson : Shut it down now, Philip!

  Philip Burton : Have you seen outside? It's chaos. This machine will stop all that.

  Matt Anderson : Nature has to be allowed to run its own course. You're about to destroy the world. I've seen the results of your work. Is that what you want for your legacy?

  Philip Burton : There are dinosaurs roaming the streets.

  Matt Anderson : That's what the ARC's for!

  Philip Burton : The ARC has failed. We don't need containment, we need radical solutions.

• Philip Burton : The only problem is you believe the world will be destroyed when I switch this machine on. And I believe it will be destroyed if I don't.

  Matt Anderson : Philip, you've got to listen to me, I've seen this! You're going to kill everything!

  Philip Burton : Only one of us can be right.
