Andrew Lee Potts: Connor Temple

Quotes 

• Connor Temple : Philip! The machine doesn't save the world. It destroys it.

  Philip Burton : Well, you know that's not true, because you helped design it.

  Connor Temple : And it was a mistake. You have to listen to me. Matt says that-...

  Philip Burton : Matt is a soldier, a grunt.

  Connor Temple : He's from the future! He was sent back because the world he was living in was dying. Because of us, Philip. Because of the machine that we built. I'm sorry, Philip. I can't let you turn it on.

  Philip Burton : You have no idea how ridiculous you look right now, Connor.

  Connor Temple : See, I know that you think you're doing the right thing, but you couldn't be more wrong. New Dawn kills everything.

  Philip Burton : That is pure nonsense.

• James Lester : So, Philip was in league with Helen and the machine he's building is the trigger to the end of the world?

  Matt Anderson : In a nutshell.

  James Lester : I'll talk to the Minister, see if I can get a DA25, get him shut down.

  Connor Temple : Well, as daring, last-minute attempts to save the world go, that's really... bureaucratic.

• Connor Temple : The anomalies, they're they're opening up everywhere.

  Jess Parker : All over the world.

  Philip Burton : This is it, Convergence has come. We're about to make history.

• Connor Temple : You knew this was going to happen. Yet when I told you about my theory on Convergence, you just dismissed it like it was nothing.

  Philip Burton : I couldn't support your theory, Connor. If I had, you'd have become distracted, working on contingency plans for the ARC.

  Connor Temple : Exactly. Now we're not ready and people are going to die.
