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] 

• Nate Heywood : Hey. It's our first mission together. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong in the field, I got'cha covered.

  Henry Heywood : [amused]  Yeah, but I didn't get coldcocked by a girl.

  Sara Lance : Have you ever been... hit by a girl... Hank?

  Henry Heywood : No, ma'am

  Sara Lance : [gives Hank a meaningful look]  Hmm. We should head out.

  [turns and walks off] 

• Nate Heywood : [referring to his father]  And you thought a minotaur was bull-headed?

  Sara Lance : Ooo, mythology burrrn !

  [she and Nate do a finger wiggle bump] 

  Sara Lance : It's good to have you back.

• Sara Lance : Red alert, Nate is on the ship, and he brought his dad for what's got to be a surprise inspection.

  Zari Tomaz : We are so not ready for guests.

• 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.

• Nate Heywood : Okay, Dali saw the monster firsthand when it attacked him in the Catacombs, and he drew me this.

  [handing Sara a napkin, then rotating it] 

  Nate Heywood : Um, wait.

  Henry Heywood : What the hell am I looking at?

  Nate Heywood : [rotating it again]  No, no, no, here.

  Sara Lance : Yeah, I still don't see it.

  Nate Heywood : All right, ignore the melting clocks. We got to get this back to the ship, and I have to find a match to Dali's drawing somewhere in the library.

  Henry Heywood : We're supposed to protect history from the library, Nathaniel?

  Nate Heywood : Okay, I see that you're really into drinking the Hemingway Kool-Aid, and by Kool-Aid, I mean Scotch, but we are here to catch a monster.

  Henry Heywood : Of course, but I know we sure as hell aren't gonna find out what it is by studying some finger paintings.

• Nate Heywood : We gotta go back to the ship to figure out what we're doing. That's the way we do things, right?

  Sara Lance : Yes, when the mission isn't also showing Hank a good time. I'm sorry.

  Nate Heywood : You know, I thought this would be good for the both of us, but... Hank is at his happiest when he's telling me what I'm doing wrong, so...

  [clicking his tongue] 

  Nate Heywood : Mission accomplished.

• Sara Lance : Back on your feet already, Hank.

  Henry Heywood : Yeah, your gal patched me up good. I'm just running through our strategy.

  John Constantine : Oh, wait, are you letting him use our D&D minatures?

  Zari Tomaz : No, I didn't let him touch Cyndra, Lord of the Darhk Elves.

  Nate Heywood : You guys D&D without me, too?

• Nate Heywood : This was fun. It's good to be back.

  Sara Lance : Well, the door is always open.

  Nate Heywood : You know, coming back here, I thought it'd be like the old days, but I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that so much has changed or at some point, this became the old days.

  Sara Lance : You'd think we of all people would understand that time makes no sense.

  Nate Heywood : Yeah.

  Sara Lance : But I guess it's something you never accept.

  Nate Heywood : You know I love you guys, right? But, uh... I belong over there.

  Sara Lance : I get it. I'm proud of you. So go on. Go do your adult thing, and we'll see you around.

• Sara Lance : [seeing Hank playing the guitar to put the minotaur to sleep]  What is happening?

  Nate Heywood : James Taylor, and it's good.

• Mick Rory : Welcome back, Ugly.

  John Constantine : Yes, what other bright ideas are you gonna leave us with before you bugger off?

  Nate Heywood : Softball team.

  Zari Tomaz : Oh, no, only electronic sports.

  Nate Heywood : Piñata Fridays.

  Sara Lance : How many times do I have to say no to that?

  Nate Heywood : Unionizing.

  Sara Lance : Ooh, don't let Hank hear you say that.

• 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.

• Sara Lance : We have to go now!

  Ernest Hemingway : I'll never surrender.

  [Attacks Minotaur but Minotaur attacks back] 

  Ernest Hemingway : But I will strategically retreat.

• Sara Lance : [Hits Ernest Hemingway, he falls flat on his back]  That's for being on my summer eighth grade reading list.
