"This is our last mission." Sark noted, as they got on the plane.
"I wonder if its going to be worth going back. I mean you will have the advantage of knowing, but I'm going into this blind. I don't know that even if I do go back, if the guys will still head to Vegas, get drunk, meet up with Alice anyway, and he and Alice still get married. I don't know if I will make that much of a difference."
"Do you love him?"
"What kind of stupid question is that?"
"Just answer it. Do you love him?"
"So much that it hurts."
"If you could have another day would it be worth it?"
"If I could have another hour, it would be worth it."
"Then this should be worth it."
"What about you? Even if you don't save them, will seeing them again be worth it?"
"Yes. I'm scared to see them again Bristow. I will have to live my life over again. All those humiliating high school experiences, all of it, I will do it again. But if it means saving my family from their fate, then I will gladly do it."
"How do you plan on saving them? You will be 10, and arriving after the fact, so being there at the right time will be hard."
"I've actually arranged to arrive one month ahead of time. I could take the one exam that I stayed late for before everyone else does in class, and go on the train with Charles. I will then convince my family not to go home. We will go to the zoo, or the movies, but I will keep them out of the house until nightfall."
"Do you think it will work?"
"Do you think that Alice won't marry Mr. Vaughn?"
"I don't know."
"I don't either. Changing the past creates this uncertainty in the future. For all we know, we could be dead in this future we're going to create. I don't think that Sloane will be much of a problem. He just wants to spend the remainder of Emily's days in their house."
"I figured that is what he wanted. Will this hellish life be over by tomorrow this time?" Sydney asked.
"You'll either be dead, or you'll be living that good life."
"And I'll take it either way."
