Kirk Acevedo: José Ramse

Quotes 

• José Ramse : What the hell is wrong with you? Listen. I get that you're in a rush to delete yourself.

  James Cole : Easy, man.

  José Ramse : That one's in a mad dash too. You guys are being reckless.

  James Cole : Look, we're getting close to the end of this thing, okay? If she's right about tomorrow...

  José Ramse : All right. We'll never have happened. I get it.

  James Cole : Yeah. And you won't be around to hear me say 'I told you so'.

• [Jones has told Ramse about the experiments on people, which made time travel and the project to save humankind possible] 

  José Ramse : You better wake up, lady. In case you haven't noticed, it's not working! Nothing's changed! We're still here. And all you got is blood on your hands.

• Katrina Jones : Mr. Ramse. Have you ever heard Mozart? Or Beethoven? Debussy, Bach? He was my favorite. You're too young to remember.

  José Ramse : I remember enough.

  Katrina Jones : It wasn't just... the people. It was the ideas. The paintings. Rembrandt, Caravaggio. The books. Shakespeare. Tolstoy. And... and the music. Oh, the music. Go. Go call me a monster.

  José Ramse : [referring to the experiments]  This is wrong.

  Katrina Jones : This was necessary! You don't think I felt the pain of those men?

  José Ramse : You kept going!

  Katrina Jones : Because in a thousand generations, we could not rebuild what was lost! What is the lives of a few people, compared to the whole of human history? Without it, there's nothing. Nothing, no future. Just... just drifting. In the ocean of time. No shore in sight.
