Quotes 

• Gideon : A scan of the timeline reveals a change in Memphis, Tennessee, 1954.

  Ray Palmer : Oh, says here Memphis became a ghost town after a mysterious bout of mass hysteria in July 1954.

  Nate Heywood : That's what caused the changes. Memphis is the birthplace of rock and roll. If rock never makes it out of Memphis, then none of these things exist. Your... your rat's namesake, electric guitar.

  Wally West : Your hair gel.

  Nate Heywood : It's not hair gel, Wally. It's Royal Crown pomade. It's the same product used by...

  Sara Lance : Elvis Presley.

  Nate Heywood : See? She knows what I'm talking about.

  Sara Lance : No, dodo, look. "While the population fled in hysterics, one person was left standing in the aftermath, a local teen named Elvis Presley."

• 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?

• 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.

• 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?

• Wally West : Okay, come on. We're good to go, right?

  Nate Heywood : Are we? 'Cause Elvis hasn't recorded his first single yet. And without that guitar, he may never record it. Which means rock and roll history is...

  Mick Rory : Josh Groban.

  Sara Lance : What if we have Gideon fabricate a ringer guitar and drop it off to the future King?

  Nate Heywood : Great idea. I call "A" mission. Amaya, come with me. I will teach you what rock and roll is all about. 'Till then, everyone shake, rattle, and roll!

• 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?

• 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.
