Jonas Kahnwald quotes from Dark

Jonas Kahnwald

You could have saved Mikkel! Now I have another Grandma, and she's the principal of my school. Her husband, who's fucking my mom, is looking for his son, who's my father! A few days ago, I kissed my Aunt! And the crazy thing is... there's nothing wrong with any of them. They're okay. I'm what's wrong! I just want everything to go back to normal.

Jonas Kahnwald

I thought I had more time. Why does everyone say that? "To have time." How can we say that, when it's time that has us?

What are you doing here?

Jonas Kahnwald

Bringing someone back from the dead.

How does that work?

Jonas Kahnwald

It's very hard to explain.

[looking at the dead birds] Can you bring these back?

Jonas Kahnwald

No, you have to find them when they're younger.

But then, they're not dead yet.

Jonas Kahnwald

That doesn't change the fact that they will die.

You're crazy.

Jonas Kahnwald

Maybe.

Jonas Kahnwald

What time are you from?

Martha Nielsen

The question isn't from what time, but from what world.

Eva

Adam and Eve. And so it begins all anew.

Martha

You lied to us. You said we could save both worlds when it was only one. Or is that a lie as well? I want to return! Now! To my world!

Eva

Naturally you'd want that. But there's no way back for you at all.

Jonas

What are you saying?

Eva

A human lives three lives. The first one ends with the loss of naiveté. The second one with the loss of innocence. And the third with the loss of life itself. Yours ends here and now.

Jonas

What?

Eva

You've accomplished what you were sent to this world to accomplish.

Martha

We've accomplished nothing. She said we have to stop the apocalypse. The containers in the plant...

Eva

You will understand everything. When it's right for you to understand.

Martha

Who are you?

I'm sorry. [she shoots Jonas]

Jonas

[after Noah cuts the rope Jonas tried to hang himself with] What are you doing here? Are you following me?

Noah

You made me a promise. Adam made me a promise. You said that the apocalypse must happen. So we can get saved. So all of us can be saved. You cannot die.

Noah

You cannot take your own life. Because your older self already exists. Time won't permit it. No matter what you try, a force, or someone, will always stop you. Elisabeth and I, we found the passage. You must keep your promise. It will open up again. And then you take us...Adam takes us...to paradise, finally. He said we will become friends. Before you betray me.

Jonas

Why do you think it still isn't working?

Noah

Maybe Claudia doesn't want it to work.

Jonas

Why do you even trust her? Why did you trust him? Adam? He lied to you. There is no paradise. There is no world besides this one. I know you think I'm becoming him, but I'm not.

Noah

I know the portal will work. I've seen it. In the future. Everything repeats itself. If I travel back, I know I can change everything. My older self tried it before. But this time it's different. The components in the passage have changed. This time it'll work.

Jonas

She told you all that? Claudia? What do you really know about her? She sometimes disappears for days. How does she know all the things she knows? She said that not all that's here should exist here. What did she mean by that? ...Claudia's hiding something from us. We can't trust her. I hope you know that.
