Quotes 

• Ava Sharpe : Who doesn't want to see a Ray Palmer love letter? You have to open it; there's probably glitter in it.

• Henry Heywood : [Sara and Ava are about to have a tryst in Ava's office when Hank Heywood walks in, forcing Sara to hide on the ceiling]  These are expenses generated by the crew of the Waverider, the tip of the Time Bureau spear. Your "Legends".

  [Sara comes down from the ceiling, ninja-style] 

  Henry Heywood : [continuing]  You said they were worth the additional funding. Let me refer you to some of my favorite line items. $135 million for a new time core. What was wrong with the old one?

  Ava Sharpe : Oh, well, um, Rip blew it up when he sacrificed his life to save the world.

  Henry Heywood : Sacrifice is right. $1.7 million for historical costumes.

  Ava Sharpe : Mm-hmm. Well, admittedly, their costumes are... flamboyant.

  Henry Heywood : A line item for, and I quote, -

  [Hank turns around; Sara dives to retrieve her shoe and hides just before he turns back] 

  Henry Heywood : - "Assorted condiments". Assorted.

  Ava Sharpe : No one ever accused the Legends of starving, sir.

  Henry Heywood : If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were in bed with the Legends. Either that, or this Captain Sara Lance is simply screwing you.

  [Sara, now hiding under Ava's desk, caresses Ava's leg, causing her to flinch, but she recovers] 

  Ava Sharpe : [laughing nervously]  Wha? Screwing me? Sara Lance? What are you... Sir, that is, that is crazy.

  Henry Heywood : Which is what the Pentagon is going to call me unless we find a way to justify these numbers.

  Ava Sharpe : Got it, sir.

• Mona Wu : Hey, Ava, hope I'm not too early.

  Ava Sharpe : It's Director Sharpe. And you're not early, Mona. You're late.

  Mona Wu : Oh, no, are you firing me? Why does this always happen?

• Mona Wu : I know that getting your boss locked in a prison isn't the best way to start a job, so if it comes to it, I'd like you to eat me first.

  Ava Sharpe : No one's eating anyone, Mona, but when we get out of here, we do have to talk about your continued employment at the Bureau.

  Mona Wu : Wait, no, no, no, you can't fire me.

  Ava Sharpe : Give me one good reason why.

  Mona Wu : Okay. Okay. I was gonna save this for upstairs, but...

  [retrieving the birthday cake Sara brought] 

  Mona Wu : ...surprise!

  [singing] 

  Ava Sharpe : Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to...

  [seeing Ava's look, she trails off] 

  Mona Wu : This isn't making things better, is it?

  Nora Darhk : No, it's fantastic. Keep going.

• Ava Sharpe : And that's when I found out I was from the future.

  Mona Wu : Whoa, the future.

  Ava Sharpe : Yep. It was all fake: my parents, my memories, growing up in Fresno.

  Nora Darhk : Still better than spending your childhood with the Order of the Shrouded Compass.

  Mona Wu : Is that like the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants?

  Nora Darhk : Even worse. Death cult. And before that, I just moved around from one mental institution to the next.

• Mona Wu : I finally find a job where I can use my skills...

  Ava Sharpe : Debatable.

  Mona Wu : And I blow it in the first week. Guess I'm stuck doing my fallback plan, going back to law school. At least Yale wants me.

  Ava Sharpe : Wait, wait, that's the fallback plan? Law school? What are you even doing here?

  Mona Wu : This is my dream job. It's my mom who wants me to be a lawyer.

  Nora Darhk : No, you can't give in to what your parents want. That's what I did, and look how that ended.

  Ava Sharpe : Okay, you're not gonna take life advice from Nora Darhk, right? That's rich. You should listen to your parents. Think about your future.

  Nora Darhk : Oh, easy for you to say. At least you had a future. When I was a kid, my dad convinced me to be a demon vessel.

  Ava Sharpe : You think it was easy for me? At least you got to be a kid. Try being a clone from 2213, okay? The only taste of childhood I've ever had was almost being killed by a shtriga at summer camp.

  Mona Wu : Wow, okay, I need to hear your entire life stories right now.

  Ava Sharpe , Nora Darhk : No!
