Where to Watch:
Season 2 Quotes
Royal Abbott: The darkness was almost the worst of it. The wrenched rock streaming past me, tearing at me as I was swallowed into a bottomless pit. An inhale of the Earth that took me into its guts and was going to s**t me out. Just an endless black that I hoped would end with a thud, with my death, and end all the pain that it was creating. But I kept going. A slow motion, free fall of torture. When I realized it was me who was the pain, when I realized that I had created the hole inside me, it spat me out like it never wanted me in the first place.
Autumn: Few hours ago you were trying to kill me, and now I’m your granddaughter.
Royal Abbott: You know, time is too short.
Wayne Tillerson: Time reveals all, Royal.
Royal Abbott: Just because you can’t see it or understand it doesn’t mean it isn’t real.
Falling Star: I’m a traveler of both time and space.
Royal Abbott: What do you want? And try not to speak Chinese to a Swedish pig.
Dr. Nia Bintu: There’s this theory that the fabric of time and space is fluid, that it can be quantified, like water. Gives meaning to the phrase “time is a river”. That’s what I believe is flowing beneath the land. Time. Science doesn’t make sense until it does. And none of this will make any sense at all until someone, me, preferably, is able to figure out what all of this really is.
Young Royal Abbott: Perry, you think about what you did jumping in that hole, what it meant for your life. You may find your wife. What if you don’t? What if you never see that hole again? What if you end up stuck here?
Autumn: I believe a lot of things that don’t make sense to people.
Autumn: Time doesn’t have a beginning or an end, it just is.
Commune Leader: The Universe has neither a beginning, nor an ending, but it is filled with boundless opportunity to grow, to heal, to learn every secret the Universe has to offer. And I promise you this, those who devote themselves to the message will have the mysteries of the Universe revealed to them. But, for now, we heal.
Pastor Ken: We all have our weak moments even when we think we’re doing the right thing.
Mrs. Thurbee: You know, a cowboy with the wrong hat is a man who just has no sense of place in this world.
Young Royal Abbott: Look, I had to make a choice. Okay, I could either keep living in the past, or I could accept what happened.
Perry Abbott: But just because that’s the way it played out for you doesn’t mean it’s what’s going to happen to me.
Young Royal Abbott: It ain’t always about what’s happening to you, Perry.
Sally: The good Lord done punched my ticket. Unless he’s going to give me my time back, let me just enjoy what I can enjoy.
Autumn: Why should you be given more time when you’re the one that’s wasting it?
Autumn: Don’t you think that praying is hiding? I think it must make people
feel good about themselves, but it’s inaction. You’re just sitting in silence.
Pastor Ken: Well, do you believe there’s something wrong with sitting in silence?
Perry Abbott: [to young Royal] Well, too bad you’re a better father now than you were in my time.
Deputy Sheriff Joy: Time. It doesn’t wait.
Deputy Sheriff Joy: There are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there’s still time to change the road you’re on.
Cecilia Abbott: I’ve never felt this helpless in my life.
Autumn: “Fear not for nothing is covered that will not be revealed. Nothing hidden that will not be known.”
Pastor Ken: [to Autumn] Beware of false prophets kicking and screaming for miracles while you’re unknowingly being rebuked for your vanity. Because I see you for who you really are, and that’s a dime-store philosopher, sanctimonious huckster with nothing worth buying. And I bet your family abandoned you a long time ago.
Pastor Ken: [referring to Autumn] Not all people can be saved.
Cecilia Abbott: Well, how do you know if you don’t try? Today she tried.
Cecilia Abbott: [to Autumn] When you believe in something, nothing’s going to change your mind.
Royal Abbott: I always believed that I shot my father in a hunting accident. Ran and jumped in that hole, thinking I’d disappear.
Deputy Sheriff Joy: Not how it happened when I was there.
Royal Abbott: [to Joy] First lie is the hardest, then it just gets easier. My family’s broken now because of it. Tell the truth, before it’s too late.
Cecilia Abbott: How did you spend all those years without talking to anybody?
Royal Abbott: Well, I didn’t talk to you, but you were right there by my side. I don’t want that to change.
Cecilia Abbott: It won’t.
Royal Abbott: They say it took six days to make the Earth. How did they know it was six? How can you even define a day before you knew what a day was? They use words to define how time moves, how it bends, how it repeats itself. But those are just words.
Royal Abbott: Nobody understands time and what it really is.
Royal Abbott: If it’s driven by Chronos or moves of its own accord. Nobody understands that in the creation of man, time had to be broken for man to exist. And nobody knows if God fixed that break, or if He wanted to see what we’d f***ing do with that particular problem. Would it define us, or would it make us the ultimate joke because we think so small?
Royal Abbott: [referring to Rebecca and Amy] Your mother and I are going to find them. I need you to keep an eye on Autumn till we get back.
Rhett Abbott: You say that like you think she’s going to do something bad.
Royal Abbott: She has. And from what I know, she’ll keep going.
Autumn: My response will lead to waking them up, but people don’t want to be woken up, because they’ve built these constructs. They’ve built these realms where they live their lives, and it’s very difficult for them to be derailed, because it’s very destructive. It’s my responsibility to wake them up, but people don’t like that because I have no credibility, because I’m an outsider.
Dr. Nia Bintu: [to Rhett] What’s going on at your ranch is unprecedented, but it’s in the hands of a man stuck in time. People like that never do the right thing. Your father is going to be pushed aside by people who will inevitably come. Unless he turns to someone like me.
Autumn: [to Maria] Don’t let love make you out to be a fool. Leave before you are left.
Young Royal Abbott: [to young Wayne] I leave that land, you leave this Earth.
Amy Abbott: What you’re planning isn’t right, Autumn.
Autumn: Yeah. Yeah, well, your journey has to begin for mine to continue.
Luke Tillerson: You talking to yourself again?
Autumn: Yeah. Something like that.
Young Royal Abbott: You tamper with what’s wild, you’re bound to get kicked.
Autumn: Luke, if there’s one thing I’ve learned from all of this, it’s that nothing is final. Not even death.
Autumn: You know what’s funny, Royal? Is I never would’ve known that Amy and I are the same person if it wasn’t for you.
Royal Abbott: You throw Amy in that hole, and I will tear you apart in any way that I can. You got the same destiny we all got. You ain’t no better than the rest of us, no matter what you think.
Autumn: We’ll see.
Cecilia Abbott: [in his vision] Time is a river, Royal. This is your destiny.
Deputy Sheriff Joy: [referring to Autumn] I don’t know how she’s alive.
Royal Abbott: Her future’s coming, Joy. You got to help me stop it.
Deputy Sheriff Joy: Nothing can stop the future, Royal.
Autumn: [to Royal, in his vision] This is just the beginning.
