Quotes
-
Professor Nick Cutter : [after returning from a mission through an Anomaly] Where's Claudia?
James Lester : Claudia?
Professor Nick Cutter : Where's Claudia Brown?
James Lester : I don't know anyone of that name.
Professor Nick Cutter : No, come on. Where is she?
Stephen Hart : We really, we... we don't know what you're talking about.
Connor Temple : Never heard of her.
Professor Nick Cutter : Look, you've been working with her everyday for months, so don't tell me you don't know who she is.
James Lester : No idea. Sorry.
Professor Nick Cutter : [Nick grabs Lester by the jacket] Look! Look, where is she?
Connor Temple : Cutter, we don't know her!
Abby Maitland : No one knows her!
Professor Nick Cutter : Wait, something's gone wrong. This isn't right. Something's gone wrong. Something's happened. Something's changed. We've done something... something that we've done has changed the past and she's not here anymore. Oh God. Oh my God.

James Lester : [after Claudia kisses Nick] That wasn't very professional.
Claudia Brown : Oh, stuff professionalism.
-
James Lester : You know, I'm really beginning to regret not staying in management consultancy.
-
Claudia Brown : How did it get here?
Helen Cutter : I have no idea. It was only when I got back I found out that it was on the loose. Obviously my first thought was to do as much as I could to help.
James Lester : How public spirited of you.

Helen Cutter : All bats have extraordinary homing instincts. They'll know their own environment, they can lead us to it.
James Lester : And what happens to them then?
Professor Nick Cutter : We kill them.
[They look at him]
Professor Nick Cutter : We kill them. To let even one of them loose in the Permian era could be a potential catastrophe. They could wipe out whole species. They could change things in ways we can't even conceive.
James Lester : And afterwards we keep a permanent guard at the future anomaly?
Professor Nick Cutter : The threat's too serious to be ignored.
Claudia Brown : Serious enough to warrant a permanent intrusion into the past?
Professor Nick Cutter : With the correct restrictions, yes.
James Lester : [sighs] I suppose just bombing somewhere is out of question.

James Lester : [as Nick and a team are about to enter an anomaly] Do you think I should make a speech; "One small step for man", that sort of thing?
Claudia Brown : Maybe another time.
