Quotes 

• Amaya Jiwe : What totem would choose a guitar-toting choir boy as its bearer?

  Nate Heywood : Isn't it obvious? It's Elvis we're talking about. It's gotta be...

  Mick Rory : A sandwich totem.

  Nate Heywood : I was gonna say "music".

  Ray Palmer : Just imagine what the music totem would do for my upper register. I could finally give local theater a shot.

  [pause] 

  Ray Palmer : That is after we use it to destroy Mallus.

  Zari Tomaz : [sarcastic]  So we're gonna vanquish a time demon with our killer harmonies. It's gonna go great.

• Zari Tomaz : [giving Wally a tour of the Waverider]  Which brings us to the kitchen. We divvy up cleaning duties by Ray's chore wheel, which uses a complex system I pretend to not understand until he eventually does my chores for me.

  Wally West : [looking at the wheel]  "Wipe down the food fabricator."

  Zari Tomaz : Bet you thought time travel would be seeing Woodstock, saving Shakespeare, and having ethical debates while standing over baby Hitler. Trust me, it takes time to get used to life...

  Wally West : [with his powers, he speeds around the room, doing all the chores]  Cool, so what's next?

  Zari Tomaz : It's gonna take time for me to get used to life with a speedster.

• Zari Tomaz : This is my room. Guess you and me are bunkmates while we help you move into Stein's quarters.

  [in the blink of an eye, he speeds out and returns] 

  Zari Tomaz : You just moved yourself in, didn't you?

  Wally West : I figured why bother anyone else?

  Zari Tomaz : [picking up a video game controller]  You know, I was gonna invite you to be my player two, but you're officially not my problem anymore.

• Zari Tomaz : Wait, who beat all my high scores?

  Wally West : Well, you see, the thing with "Ms. Pac-Man" is you gotta just ignore the fruit. All the points come from taking down the ghosts.

  Zari Tomaz : Yeah, I know that, but nobody could beat these scores without...

  [realizing] 

  Zari Tomaz : Without lightning-fast fingers. You better not have messed with "Guitar Hero".

  [picking up the game's jewel case] 

  Zari Tomaz : What's "Trombone Hero"?

• Sara Lance : What happened to your hair?

  Nate Heywood : What are you talking about?

  [seeing Amaya's look] 

  Nate Heywood : What? What is it?

  Sara Lance : I...

  Nate Heywood : [looking at his reflection]  What happened to my trademark volume and sheen?

  Mick Rory : [entering with Ray]  Who changed my rat's name?

  Zari Tomaz : [entering with Wally]  Yo, who switched my game?

  Sara Lance , Nate Heywood , Mick Rory , Zari Tomaz , Ray Palmer , Amaya Jiwe , Wally West : Gideon?

• Nate Heywood : Don't tell me they messed with the King.

  Ray Palmer : Whatever he saw drove him crazy. He was taken to the Bolivar State Hospital. Treated for insanity.

  Nate Heywood : If Memphis is abandoned in '54, then rock doesn't hit the mainstream, which means there's no Howlin' Ray, no Little Richard...

  Mick Rory : The Elvis sandwhich; peanut butter and banana fried in greasy bacon fat. The man was a visionary.

  Zari Tomaz : But if it didn't show up on the anachronism map, then...

  Nate Heywood : Darhks. The only people evil enough to wanna kill rock and roll. Oh, and I bet you that sick bastard likes ska.

• Zari Tomaz : Well, this is uncomfortable, and I'm not just talking about my dress.

  Wally West : Yeah, I guess these people didn't get the whole "love thy neighbor" talk.

  Old Lady : Shh!

  Sara Lance : Shush yourself, lady. Have you heard your singing voice?

  Ray Palmer : Just keep Mick away from the collection tray. And the communion wafers.

  Mick Rory : [spitting wafers out]  That's not bread.

• Sara Lance : I guess Elvis is the King of rock and roll. One hip shake, and Z loses it.

  Nate Heywood : Yeah, tell me about it, sister.

  Zari Tomaz : I didn't lose control because of Elvis' hips.

  Nate Heywood : [sarcastic]  Yeah, me, either.

  Zari Tomaz : My totem was glowing, and so was Elvis' guitar.

  Amaya Jiwe : But that means that Elvis is...

  Zari Tomaz : Yep. Elvis is a totem bearer.

• Amaya Jiwe : Every totem is growing stronger in response to Mallus' threat. What if the preacher was right and Elvis' music literally drives Memphis insane?

  Sara Lance : Then we have to get it before that happens.

  Wally West : [speeding out and returning]  I got it. Elvis' guitar totem.

  Zari Tomaz : So, I'm not the only one who finds that annoying, right?

• Zari Tomaz : What the hell is going on?

  Mick Rory : [holding his head]  Guitar hit me in the head.

  Zari Tomaz : [seeing the guitar floating in the air by itself]  Oh, that explains nothing.

• Sara Lance : All right, so I talked to Constantine about our totem. He compared it with his notes, and this is what he found.

  Zari Tomaz : Death totem? Pass.

  Sara Lance : Yeah. Whoever wields it has domain over the dead. Which is why we need to keep this totem with us and safe at all times.

  Nate Heywood : [entering]  Elvis needs his totem back.

• Nate Heywood : Guys, we have a bit of a setback.

  Wally West : We're listening. What's up?

  Nate Heywood : Um, long story, funny ending. Amaya, Elvis, and I were thrown in the slammer.

  Wally West : So just steel up and break out.

  Nate Heywood : Yeah, I know, I can, but I'm afraid my work here isn't done.

  Zari Tomaz : What do you need?

  Nate Heywood : I need you to go back to the church, get the record from the reverend, and bring it to WHBQ and make sure it debuts tonight.

• Wally West : Despite everything you've seen, I really think my powers could come in handy right now because I could just go grab that record, and then I...

  Zari Tomaz : Okay, if this were a Central City bank robbery, sure. You could just speed in, save the day, the mayor would give you a key to the city.

  Wally West : That actually happened, you know. See, Barry and I, we saw this...

  Zari Tomaz : History is different. You can't be a chainsaw. You need to be a scalpel. You... you need to get in there, talk to people, find out what they really need. Now, let's go talk to the preacher like human beings.

• Zari Tomaz : Can we have a word? And not the good word. We just wanna talk.

  Uncle Lucious : What could you possibly wanna talk about?

  Zari Tomaz : We need to talk about your nephew and his record. You can't destroy it. People need to hear it. That includes you.

  Uncle Lucious : How would y'all know what I need to hear?

  Wally West : I might actually know what you're going through. You see, my dad, he came into my life pretty late. We couldn't always figure each other out. We didn't always know how to fit into each other's lives until I knew that I just had to go and set out on my own.

  Uncle Lucious : Truly sorry to hear that, son.

  Wally West : I think you might be afraid that you're losing your nephew. But if you both could just try to understand each other, you might actually find something new between you two. You might... you might even find something really special. Now, I know someone that would love to play that record, if you're ready to give it a chance. And a lot of young souls would be moved by your nephew's voice.

  Uncle Lucious : Hmm.

  [he retrieves the record, then hands it over] 

  Uncle Lucious : Mysterious ways, indeed.

• Wally West : Okay, so we walked real far and it took a long time, and then, uh, we got thrown around...

  Zari Tomaz : History is at stake. You'd better run fast.

• Uncle Lucious : Been ages since I've seen so much life in this place. Maybe you ain't so ungodly as I thought.

  Zari Tomaz : You know, you and I might have different names for God, but I'm guessing we have a lot in common, too.

  [Wally speeds in] 

  Zari Tomaz : What took you so long?

  Wally West : Seriously?

• Zari Tomaz : Well, we'd love to stick around for Hymn Night, but we should head back to the...

  [she opens the church door, sees ghosts outside, and shuts it again] 

  Zari Tomaz : On second thought, how about those hymns?

• Uncle Lucious : That music, it summoned the dead!

  Zari Tomaz : This time, he might actually be right.

  Wally West : Don't tell me you're converting.

  Zari Tomaz : No, Elvis recorded that song with the Death totem. It-it must have given his music the power to literally raise spirits.

  Wally West : You're kidding.

  Zari Tomaz : This must have been what drives everyone out of Memphis.
