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

Wexler

How long since you've heard from your courier? If your op were going as planned, you wouldn't even be speaking to me. You need to know what's going on in Chechnya. I can help you.

Cassie

Cole: Cassie I don't have time to explain, but I'm in Chechnya.
Cassie: Cole?
Cole: Listen, this isn't gonna make a lot of sense. I have the virus, but someone's trying to kill me.
Cassie: But you were just here?
Cole: Operation TROY is happening right now. I have a chance to end it.

Cole: This is amazing, all of it. During the outbreak people raided the museums. Took what they wanted, destroyed the rest. Never seen anything like this.
Cassie: Oh no Cole, you can't touch the art; you just look.
Cole: Well that's bullshit.
Cassie: Okay, Garrett's in the main hall.
Cole: Hey wait a minute. What's the rush he's not going anywhere. Why don't you grab a drink or some food and just be us for a while.
Cassie: I'm sorry have we met? The mission is this way.

If released in this room, this virus would kill every one of us in two to three hours.

Oliver Peters

Aaron: So how the hell are we doing this?
Cole: Go in, we get Cassie and we get out.
Aaron: That's it? How about a plan this time?
Cole: Everybody wants a plan. There's no time.
Aaron: You're a time traveler.
Cole: Look, you just keep an eye out. I'll take care of the guard.

You are walking through a red forest and the grass is tall.

Striking Woman

Cole: Look I don't have a lot of time to explain this to you. They're going to put a bullet in Cassie's head.
Aaron: Who's they?
Cole: The Army of the 12 Monkeys. They're the ones that start the plague.
Aaron: Just tell me where she is.
Cole: Right now she's in a place called the Night Room; it's a Markridge facility. They're trying to get into the vault right now. Her and I are tied up in a room up...
Aaron: You crazy piece of shit. You are sitting right here.
Cole: The other me. Not this me, the other me. That's why I need you okay. I can't cross with myself. Believe me you don't want to be around for a paradox okay. Look you help me, you help her.

Ramse: Who the hell is this?
Cole: Hey it's me, it's Cole.
Ramse: I buried Cole. I covered the grave myself.
Cole: Wait a minute, I just came out of that machine.
Ramse: Nothing comes from there.
Cole: Alright, you and I, we left the West VII. Jones and her crew took us in.
Ramse: No.
Cole: Hey, only girl you've ever loved is Elena. Your mother's name is Roberta. You told me once she's pretty and that whenever I make jokes about banging her you laugh but I know secretly it pisses you off.
Ramse: Cole?
Cole: It's good to see you too.

Jones: Where do you come from?
Cole: From your machine over there.
Jones: I remember all the faces of the men that went in there. Yours is not one of them. They never came back.

Jones: Go, call me a monster.
Ramse: This is wrong.
Jones: This was necessary. You don't think I felt the pain of those men.
Ramse: You kept going.
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 drifting in the ocean of time. No shore in sight.
Ramse: You tell me the truth, this going to happen to Cole?
Jones: I won't let it happen.

You know insanity and rationality might be on opposite sides of the animal, but lately, doctor, the snake is eating its own tail. And if you were to ask HIM, he would tell you that 99.9% of all species that have ever existed are now extinct; the natural order.

12 Monkeys Quotes

About four years from now, most of the human race is gonna be wiped out by a plague; a virus. All we know is that it's because of a man named Leland Frost. I have to find him.

Cole

What if you could take it back? All of it? A reset switch? You'd hit it right? You'd have to.

Cole
