Quotes 

• Mick Rory : Captain wants to see you.

  Nate Heywood : Aw, man, Sara's here?

  Mick Rory : Not that one, you dumbass. I'm talking about the most fearsome pirate queen to sail the seven seas: the Dread Pirate Jiwe.

  [indicating the depressed Amaya] 

  Mick Rory : She needs to loosen up.

  Nate Heywood : [catching on]  Yeah. I heard she once cut out a man's tongue for not obeying her orders.

  Mick Rory : Yeah... and she still carries it to this day.

  Toothless Pirate : I never heard of no lady pirate.

  Ray Palmer : That's because dead men tell no tales.

  Scottish Pirate : They say she lost her ship to a kraken, and in retribution, she hunted down the monster's wee bairn and ate the gupper raw.

  Barkeep : I heard she was spat back out o' hell by the devil himself.

  Barrel-Chested Pirate : I hear she be more bold and fearless than Captain Blackbeard.

  [Blackbeard appears in the door threshold] 

  Barrel-Chested Pirate : Begging your pardon, Captain.

  Blackbeard : What was that you said?

  Barrel-Chested Pirate : I have it under good authority we be in the company of the Dread Pirate Jiwe.

  Amaya Jiwe : [quietly]  Why is everyone staring at me?

  Mick Rory : If there's one thing pirates love more than treasure, it's a good story.

• Sara Lance : Please tell me that the Waverider did not just crash into Star City.

  Zari Tomaz : Star City? Is that where we are?

  Sara Lance : Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

  Ray Palmer : Well, the good news is the cannonball didn't hit the time core. And Nate made a beautiful landing.

  Zari Tomaz : [dryly sarcastic]  Yeah.

  Nate Heywood : Thanks, big guy. So, Sara, how's the date going?

• Ray Palmer : [simultaneously with Nate]  Bad news!

  Nate Heywood : Good news!

  Zari Tomaz : What's going on?

  Ray Palmer : [simultaneously again]  The Fire totem's gone.

  Nate Heywood : I know where their totem is.

  Amaya Jiwe : Ray-Ray, you go first.

• Nate Heywood : I know where the Earth totem is, or more precisely, when: 1717, Saint Lisette.

  [seeing their confusion] 

  Nate Heywood : St. Lisette? Sister ship of La Concorde?

  Mick Rory : Get to the point, Pretty.

  Nate Heywood : La Concorde was boarded by pirates, and later named Queen Anne's Revenge. It's Blackbeard the Pirate's ship.

  Ray Palmer : So, Blackbeard has the Earth totem.

  Mick Rory : Well, let's steal it.

  Zari Tomaz : No, guys, hold on. Sara's on a date. We should probably avoid messing with history while she's still on appetizers?

  Ray Palmer : But... think how happy she'd be if we had the Earth totem by dessert.

• Amaya Jiwe : How are we supposed to find Blackbeard in this rabble?

  Ray Palmer : Well, we could ask a pirate nicely.

  Nate Heywood : Nicely? Ray, pirates are terrified of Blackbeard. They're not just gonna offer up...

  Toothless Pirate : [holding a sword to his throat]  So, you're looking for Blackbeard? How do I know you's not spies for the Royal Navy?

  Mick Rory : [Amaya fights him off]  Because we wanna join Blackbeard's crew, you germ.

• Nate Heywood : Rory, Amaya, come in, over.

  Ray Palmer : Some sort of interference with the communications system.

  Nate Heywood : Guys, answer me! Over.

  Zari Tomaz : Hey, calm down. I'm sure they're okay.

  Gideon : [the ship's lights flicker]  My apologies, but I'm experiencing a level four systems failure.

  Zari Tomaz : Wasn't me. Nothing to do with it.

  Gideon : I believe the fault lies in our present coordinates. You did park me in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.

  Nate Heywood : Sailors call it the Devil's Triangle.

  Ray Palmer : No, the stories of ships disappearing are grossly exaggerated.

  [the lights shut down completely] 

  Zari Tomaz : [flicking on a lighter]  Um... you sure about that, Ray?

• Nate Heywood : Gideon, maybe you could help us settle an argument. What are the chances of survival if we stay in the Bermuda Triangle?

  Gideon : Zero. There are multiple cannonballs headed towards our starboard bow as we speak.

  Zari Tomaz : Um, sorry, cannonballs?

  Ray Palmer : I thought we were cloaked.

• Sara Lance : When I left, you were headed for Detroit.

  Ray Palmer : Yeah, it's a... it's... it's a really... it's a really long story.

  Nate Heywood : Mick and Amaya are marooned in 1717, the Darhks have the Fire totem, and Blackbeard has the Earth totem.

  Ray Palmer : I just thought it was gonna be a longer story.

  Zari Tomaz : [entering]  Thank god you're back. You look great. The engine room's a disaster. We're not going anywhere.

• Nate Heywood : Sara!

  Sara Lance : Yeah, what now?

  Nate Heywood : We have another anachronism in 1717. The HMS Fortitude got into a naval battle with Blackbeard's ship off the coast of Grace Island.

  Sara Lance : So?

  Ray Palmer : So... that is a portrait of their admiral.

  Sara Lance : Damien Darhk.

• Sara Lance : I don't care if Zari has to duct tape the Waverider back together, we have to get it in the air.

  Gideon : Well, I wouldn't advise returning to the Bermuda Triangle.

  Nate Heywood : It's the Devil's Triangle, and Mick and Amaya are in danger.

  Sara Lance : [a portal opens, and Ava enters]  Ava! Hey!

  Ava Sharpe : Don't "Hi, Ava" me. You stood me up, jerk.

  Ray Palmer : Awkward.

• Nate Heywood : Amaya, I am, uh... I am so sorry. If I didn't push everybody to go after the Earth totem, you wouldn't have lost yours.

  Amaya Jiwe : It's all right, Nathaniel.

  Nate Heywood : We'll fix this. We'll get your totem back.

  Amaya Jiwe : My birthright, it's always dictated the path I choose. It's like a compass that just points the way.

  Nate Heywood : It must be so difficult not to have it.

  Amaya Jiwe : It's also freeing. For the first time in my life, I get to decide.

• Zari Tomaz : We're screwed. The ship's electrical systems are experiencing multiple unexplained malfunctions.

  Nate Heywood : It's the Devil's Triangle.

  Ray Palmer : Look, that's just a myth.

  Zari Tomaz : Whatever it is, we need to time jump out of here.

  Nate Heywood : What? And leave Mick and Amaya stranded in pirate times?

  Zari Tomaz : It's a miracle we're still in the air.

  Ray Palmer : Well, I'm sure they're having a whale of a time with Blackbeard.

• Nate Heywood : Hey, I know it looks like a mess, but we really wanted you to have a nice night out.

  Ray Palmer : Yeah, if you really like that mean Time Bureau lady, you shouldn't give up on her.

  Sara Lance : Look, I'm not giving up on anything, other than maybe the idea that I'll ever have a normal life. Zari, get the ship back in fighting shape, 'cause until then... Rory and Amaya are on their own.
