TV show quotes
Opening voiceover by Mick
Seriously. You idiots haven't figured this out by now? It all started when we blew up the Time Pigs - the Time Masters. Now history's all screwed up, and it's up to us to un-screw it up. But half the time, we screw things up even worse. So don't call us heroes. We're something else. We're Legends. Who writes this crap, anyway?
Opening voiceover by Thawne
My name is Eobard Thawne. With the help of Damien Darhk, Malcolm Merlyn, Leonard Snart and Mick Rory, I've obtained the Spear of Destiny. An ancient artifact with the power to rewrite reality itself. And we have. It's a brave new world.
[to Agent Sharpe] Lady, why are you so mean?
Maybe it's that poly-blend pantsuit that's got her so grumpy.
I didn't know Men's Warehouse gave group discounts.
What's the matter with you people? Do you want to get shot?
Totally rather get shot than look like a Sears model.
Come on, Gray. A chance to meet Julius Caesar and fix history. We have a time ship. We can get you home in time for dessert.
That's what I told Clarissa the last time I left.
And when you came home, you had a surprise daughter.
Your point?
The point is, sometimes we screw things up for the better.
That's a good motto. We should use that.
[Sara is fighting Caesar]
Uh, shouldn't we help her?
It's him I'm worried about.
[Sara defeats Caesar]
Ye-ah, I'd say our work here is done.
And to quote the great conqueror himself: "We came, we saw,...
[together] We kicked Caesar's ass! [high five]
You know, I've taken these engines apart so many times, feels like this ship is a... part of me.
It is a part of you, that you can take on whatever adventure life offers you next.
[scoffs] What adventure could be better than this one? I mean, I got to be a superhero who travelled through time changing history.
Yes, I know.
Look, I know you wanna do the whole "Grandad" thing. Smoke a pipe by the fire. But I got a whole lotta life left, and I have no idea how to fill it.
Jefferson, you are, hands down, the most gifted, capable, driven young man I've ever known. You can do anything you want to do.
Well, that's all well and good, but what I want to do is be half of a nuclear-powered superhero. And I can't do that if you don't want to.
Well, like Nate said, sometimes we screw things up for the better.
I fail to see how that's true in this case.
It's our new motto.
New motto? Right, does that mean you plan to continue swashbuckling your way through history?
With the Time Bureau's permission, of course.
And if I deny you permission?
We'll do it anyways.
Perfect. We're bringing the circus to the circus
This is a classic slice of Americana. The air is thick with the smell of popcorn, candy and wonder.
If I see a clown, I'm outta here.
What, you afraid of clowns?
No. I... just don't like their stupid faces and funny shoes and... razor-sharp teeth.
I didn't go to Zambesi. Not right away. First, I went to Detroit.
Detroit.
I had to see her in person. Mari. My granddaughter. I had to see if she was as incredible as people said she was. I watched her save five people in one night. She never knew I was there, but I knew that she was perfect. I know it doesn't help, but my decision to leave had nothing to do with you.
You're right, it doesn't. 'Cause if your "Bad-at-it" granddaughter was in 2017, why'd you have to go back to 1942?
I asked Rip the same question. He said that time hadn't yet solidified. But if I stayed too long in 2017, then Mari would disappear.
Why didn't you say anything? [pause] I hated you for what you did.
I needed you to hate me. So that you would move on. If you knew how much it hurt me -
I would have found you.
I wanted to protect my granddaughter, and I wanted to protect you.
Well, no offense, Amaya, but considering we're both stuck in a rhino cage, I'd say your plan backfired.
Agent Sharpe has boarded the Waverider.
Get Rory. You two have to save the others.
Wait, the two of us? Are you mad?
You can do this. I have faith in you.
Why?
Just go! I'll hold her off as long as I can.
I don't believe the anachronism has been dealt with.
Believe it, Agent Sharpe. As I've already communicated to Director Bennett, 1870 Wisconsin is anachronism-free.
Ah, even our A.I. doesn't like you.
We got a new problem. Rip has been hiding something from us. There's a greater evil coming. Something even the Time Bureau is afraid of.
[There is dramatic silence. Then, everyone bursts out laughing.]
[amused] What could be worse than an immortal Egyptian demigod?
[also amused] Or an evil speedster?
[shaking his hands in mock fear] I'm afraid of the Time Boogeyman.
[laughing] I'm literally crying.
[Everyone keeps on laughing.]
[Amaya wakes up from sleepwalking, during which she had taken the form of a spider]
Are you okay?
I was having a nightmare.
And in the process, summoned the ashay of a spider. Astonishing!
No, Martin, it isn't. What if I summoned a rhino and I crashed through the hull of the ship? Or a lion and I mauled someone?
Well, if the victim was Mr. Rory, I guess...
You guys are time-traveling superheroes?
Yeah! We've actually saved the world, twice. Not that we're counting.
Really? You saved the world?
Twice!
Then why does it still suck?
What is this place?
You are in the world between worlds.
Who are you?
I am your blood, I am all who have come before you. [takes Amaya's hand] I can feel the fear inside you. It is a burden that weighs heavy on your heart.
My totem. I can feel it growing stronger. I fear that I'm losing control over it.
You can't stop the forces of nature. No more than you can stop a charging stallion. You must learn to run beside it.
Why is it getting stronger?
The totem's strength grows when the threats that you must face become more powerful. But you cannot face this new threat alone. You must find the girl. She needs your protection. Do not fail this, new totem-bearer. Do not resist your power. Trust in it.
