Casey Newton: If you're gonna zap an idea into people's heads, you should really make sure that it's the truth.
Casey Newton: You know, you'd think somewhere in the zillions of questions that I was asking you, you could have said, "Casey, that stuff's not really the issue because our future-predicting machine says we're all gonna die."
Athena: We did sort of hint at it.
Athena: I only found you a month ago, when you started wantonly destroying government property, which happens to be on my search parameters for recruitment.
Casey Newton: What if The Monitor is just a giant pin? But instead of making you think positive, it makes you think negative and it... it's convincing the whole world to feed the wrong wolf. We need to turn that thing off.
Frank Walker: What you saw was a commercial that was recorded decades ago. It was an invitation that never went out because the damn party got canceled. You are not supposed to do anything. You've been manipulated to feel like you're part of something incredible, like you were special. But you weren't. You're not.

Nix: How would your jet pack make the world a better place?
Young Frank Walker: Can't it just be fun?

Casey Newton: Don't we, like, make our own destiny and stuff?
Dave Clark: John Francis Walker. You have been permitted to live based upon your agreed non-intervention. You are now harboring a fugitive element. Release her to our custody or be extinguished. You have one minute to comply.
Athena: Hello, Frank. Are you going to shoot me?
Frank Walker: I'm deciding.
Frank Walker: Do I have to explain everything? Can't you just be amazed and move on?
Casey Newton: I'm sorry, what can I fix?
Nix: The world, Miss Newton. He thinks you can fix the world.
Frank Walker: Get used to that, kid. One minute, she's promising you a beautiful future, the next thing you know, she's leading it to your house to kill you.
Athena: I'm sorry, but time is running out and you needed motivation.
