Twelve Monkeys

The future is history.

"You are a total nutcase, completely deranged, delusional, paranoid. Your thought process is all fucked up. Your information train is jammed, man!"

    --  Jeffrey Goines
 

"There is no such thing as right and wrong, there's just popular opinion."

    --  Jeffrey Goines
 

"Telephone call? Telephone call? That's communication with the outside world. Doctor's discretion. Nuh-uh. Look, hey - all of these nuts could just make phone calls, they could spread insanity, oozing through telephone cables, oozing into the ears of all these poor sane people, infecting them. Wackos everywhere, plague of madness."

    --  Jeffrey Goines
 

"There was this guy, and he was always requesting shows that had already played. Yes. No. You have to tell her before. He couldn't quite grasp the idea that the charge nurse couldn't make it be yesterday. She couldn't turn back time, thank you, Einstein! Now, he was nuts! He was a fruitcake, Jim!"

    --  Jeffrey Goines

"Oh, wouldn't it be great if I was crazy? Then the world would be okay."

    --  James Cole
 

"Who cares what psychiatrists write on walls?"

    --  Jeffrey Goines
 

"You're all gonna die."
"Nobody is going to die! You're not going to save the world, Okay you're delusional. You've made this all up out of bits and piece in you're head."
"No."
"Uh, yes! Let me give you an example you know Jeffrey Goines. You were both patients at county hospital, at the same time."
"Jeffrey Goines was a fruitcake."

    --  James Cole and Dr. Kathryn Railly

"You had a bullet from World War I in your leg, James! How did it get there?"

    --  Dr. Kathryn Railly
 

"Look at them. They're just asking for it. Maybe the human race deserves to be wiped out."
"Wiping out the human race? That's a great idea. That's great. But more of a long-term thing. I mean, first we have to focus on more immediate goals."

    --  James Cole and Jeffrey Goines
 

"Cassandra in Greek legend, you recall, was condemned to know the future but to be disbelieved when she foretold it. Hence the agony of foreknowledge combined with the impotence to do anything about it."

    --  Dr. Kathryn Railly


 

"All I see is dead people."

    --  James Cole
 

"I am insane, and you are my insanity."

    --  James Cole
