Quotes 

• Ray Palmer : You know, it's still weird not having you around.

  Nate Heywood : I'll always be right there, Big Guy, in that giant heart of yours. And I'll be at the Bureau, so you guys can literally stop by whenever you want. But, you know, before I go, I do want to say one thing. When I first stepped on to this ship, I was, you know, trying to get away from all my baggage back home, and I can't believe I'm gonna say this... Hemingway once wrote "Can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another." And thanks to you guys, I don't have to run anymore. Being here with you all has turned me into the man I need to be, and, uh... this place is special. And you never know when it's gonna be over. So, I say, Legends:

  [raises his beer bottle] 

  Nate Heywood : Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

  Sara Lance : Hear, hear.

  [Everyone clinks beer bottles] 

• Henry Heywood : So, why does a ship formerly manned by a single person now need...

  Ray Palmer : [running in]  Need a crew of six? I can explain.

  Nate Heywood : Hey, Ray.

  Ray Palmer : [bro-hugging]  Hi.

  Nate Heywood : Hi. Uh, he means five. You mean five.

  Ray Palmer : I mean five. I mean five. I must have been thinking about Gideon as a real person.

  Gideon : Are you trying to hurt my feelings, Dr. Palmer?

  Nate Heywood : [seeing Gideon's A.I. face appear]  Oh, wow, Gideon. Hubba, hubba. Love the new look.

  Gideon : Ms. Tomaz gave me, in her words, a facelift.

• Henry Heywood : This is a talking computer?

  Gideon : Actually, I'm a quantum-enhanced A.I. program, capable of operating completely autonomously.

  Henry Heywood : So what you're saying is you don't need any people on the ship.

  Nate Heywood : Oh, no, no, no, no, we do. Ray, why don't you show Hank what you do in the...

  Zari Tomaz : [running in, out of breath]  Not the lab. Hello, sir. Um, you should take him to the library. It's very impressive, and there are... books.

  Ray Palmer : And bookshelves.

  Zari Tomaz : Bookshelves.

  Nate Heywood : See, Hank? It takes a village.

• Sara Lance : Meet the newest member of our team, Charlie.

  Ray Palmer : Charlie here is a shapeshifter. Except she can no longer shape-shift. It's actually a pretty crazy story.

  Nate Heywood : Let me guess, she turned into Amaya and conned you into not sending her to hell and Constantine put a spell on her and now she's stuck like this?

  Sara Lance : That is... weirdly accurate, yeah.

  Nate Heywood : Yeah.

  Ray Palmer : I guess it's not such a crazy story.

  Nate Heywood : It's insane, Ray! I told my dad you guys were good at your jobs, and you're adopting some magical creature who's pretending to be Amaya?

  Charlie : Hey, I'm not pretending to be anyone.

• Sara Lance : Hank's already looking for ways to slash our funding, so maybe it's not the worst idea to fake it for one mission.

  Charlie : You want me to pretend to be this wanker's ex?

  Nate Heywood : [insulted]  What?

  Ray Palmer : Sounds like classic Legends hijinks to me.

  Sara Lance : We can't let Hank know that we're harboring a fugitive. We just need to show him one mission, send him on his way before anything can go wrong.

  Nate Heywood : Okay, then maybe it wasn't the best idea to leave him with those three.

  Sara Lance : We should go.

• Henry Heywood : So explain to me how this... "magic-ometer" of yours works.

  Ray Palmer : Oh. Well...

  Mick Rory : [straight and to the point]  Thingy goes beep, and we kick ass.

  Zari Tomaz : Meaning we investigate each time period.

  John Constantine : Yeah, we find the creature.

  Sara Lance : We bring it to the Bureau.

  Ray Palmer : And hopefully learn some life lessons along the way.

  Henry Heywood : And it takes six of you to do that?

  Ray Palmer : Seven, if you count Amaya.

  Gideon : Eight if you count me.

  Henry Heywood : Sounds a little... inefficient.
