- John Constantine: So, any idea of what kind of foul beast we're up against, then?
- Ava Sharpe: Well, based on
- [knowing look to Sara]
- Ava Sharpe: research Sara and I have been doing, we could be looking for a swampy monster thing.
- Sara Lance: According to the timeline, before the end of summer, several kids went missing, never to be seen again.
- John Constantine: Well, I happen to know a swamp thing. But then again, Maine is way too far north for that muppet.
- Sara Lance: [pausing a movie] Wait a second.
- Ava Sharpe: Don't tell me that the fearless Ms. Lance is scared of a little horror film.
- Sara Lance: No, I love horror movies, and I watched them obsessively as a kid, so how could I have missed this gem?
- [pulling up the movie's info]
- Sara Lance: "Swamp Thaaaang." Never heard of it. And what's with all the As?
- Ava Sharpe: Okay, let me look.
- [checking her phone]
- Ava Sharpe: Okay, "Swamp Thaaaang." Apparently there are four As in the name because it's the fourth film in the franchise. The A.V. Club gave it a D+, saying "The production design is as lazy as the action staging."
- Sara Lance: Harsh.
- Ray Palmer: You know, there are other dabblers in the Dark Arts out there who think that I'm all right.
- John Constantine: What, referring to Nora Darhk, are we? You best stay away from that witch, mate. Not even your big heart can keep you safe from someone who's wrestled with literal demons.
- Ray Palmer: What about you? You're one of us now. You even dressed up, for a little while. You've wrestled with demons and you're good...
- John Constantine: Listen to me, all right? You know... I had a friend like you. Someone good, someone... who trusted me. Be smarter than him, all right? Save yourself, Ray Palmer. Because people like me and Nora Darhk, we're bloody hell for people like you.
- Ava Sharpe: [Sara has to leave for a mission] Well, how about that? We almost got to spend two whole uninterrupted hours together.
- Charlie: Let me out of here, you bastards!
- Zari Tomaz: She's still adjusting to her new home.
- [Charlie kicks her tray of food and screams]
- Zari Tomaz: Maybe it's the food.
- John Constantine: Ooh, Director Sharpe. Joining us, are we?
- Ava Sharpe: Is that a problem?
- John Constantine: Not for me, love.
- Ava Sharpe: I talked to Nate, and he's got things covered at the Bureau. He and Gary have their hands full with all the magical creatures popping up.
- Sara Lance: [snickering] Nate and Gary are in charge. Well, anyways, I'm glad that he's there, because we've got something I really don't want him to see.
- Ava Sharpe: What's that?
- [Sara leads her into the makeshift cell where Charlie is being kept]
- Ava Sharpe: Amaya.
- Zari Tomaz: It just looks like her.
- Ava Sharpe: Did you say "it"?
- Sara Lance: She's a shapeshifter. We found her in London, 1977.
- Sara Lance: We are headed back to the '90s to infiltrate a place called Camp Ogawa.
- John Constantine: Oh, sneaking into a military facility, are we?
- Sara Lance: Actually, it's a summer camp for kids.
- Ray Palmer: Oh, I loved summer camp. Everyone used to call me Kid Counselor.
- John Constantine: Bet you took that as a compliment, too, didn't you, mate?
- John Constantine: They may take my coat, but you will never take my...
- Sara Lance: [taking the cigarette out of his mouth] Nope. And lose the tie.
- John Constantine: Oh, you have got to be kidding me.
- [seeing her look]
- John Constantine: Fine. One time, but it's only for the kids.
- Ray Palmer: Beautiful morning.
- John Constantine: Yeah, sorry to burst your summer-loving bubble, mate, but we're missing one of our young charges. His name is Zack or something.
- Ray Palmer: [sniffing] Well, are you sure you counted right? Because based on your whiskey cologne, I think you're still drunk.
- Sara Lance: [joining them] No, he's right.
- Ava Sharpe: Yeah, a girl is missing from our cabin, too, even after I put the fear of God in them.
- Sara Lance: What is with the police lineup? This is summer camp, not boot camp, remember?
- Ava Sharpe: You are too soft on these kids. Children crave authority. Besides, my way will be quicker.
- Ava Sharpe: Your friend Lenise snuck out of the cabin last night. And no one's going anywhere until I find out where she went.
- Kiana: But the ice cream social is in, like, five minutes.
- Ava Sharpe: Well, then you better, like, start talking, Kiana, or you're gonna have to scrape the bottom of the carton for what's left.
- Gideon: Ms. Tomaz, the prisoner is growing quite unruly.
- Zari Tomaz: Tell her to knock herself out.
- [glancing at the surveillance feed, she sees Charlie rush the force field and knock herself unconscious]
- Zari Tomaz: Aw. I take that back.
- John Constantine: So, how many girls has the missus made cry so far, or have you lost count?
- Sara Lance: Ava's interrogation techniques aren't going to work on them. They'd rather take their secrets to the grave than squeal. Anything with the boys?
- John Constantine: Oh, those boys aren't hiding a thing. They're open books, if those books were written by hapless fools, that is.
- Chad Stephens: I heard about last night. It's majorly uncool.
- Ava Sharpe: Who knew kids could be so mean? They've been calling me Lake Beast behind my back all day.
- Alexis: [pushing past] Excuse me, Lake Beast.
- Ava Sharpe: And to my face.
- Ray Palmer: How are we going to find the kids with that dangly thing?
- John Constantine: You know, this ritual usually works best when someone isn't yammering in my ear hole.
- Sara Lance: The only way we are going to get any information from these girls is to infiltrate their clique.
- Ava Sharpe: How are we supposed to do that? We're not kids.
- Sara Lance: Funny you should say that. Constantine gave me a potion that would turn us into kids, only temporarily.
- Ava Sharpe: You're kidding, right?
- [seeing her look]
- Ava Sharpe: Wha... even if it works, Sara, I wouldn't have any idea how to act like a kid, because I've never been one. All my childhood memories are fake, remember?
- Sara Lance: Friendship bracelet?
- Ava Sharpe: No, it's an "I'm sorry" bracelet. I shouldn't have run off like that. It's just that you know I'm not normal, and I think you hit a nerve or something.
- Sara Lance: No, I'm sorry. I never even thought about the fact that you'd never been a kid.
- Ava Sharpe: Yeah.
- Sara Lance: But this is really good.
- Ava Sharpe: Ugh. I confiscated it from Alexis. See, I'm weird. I... do you know that those two actors who are my parents, I-I keep a picture of them on my desk in my office just so I can try to feel a little bit normal.
- Sara Lance: Yeah, that is anything but normal.
- Sara Lance: [taking Constantine's potion] Do you feel anything yet?
- Ava Sharpe: Mm... no. Maybe it doesn't work.
- Sara Lance: [seeing the magic start to work] The pretty lights tell me otherwise.
- Camper Sarah: Hey, it's me, Sara. You guys still out there?
- John Constantine: Sara? Potion actually worked?
- Camper Sarah: You didn't know if it was going to work before you gave us the potion?
- John Constantine: Well, of course I didn't. I've never tested it on humans, have I?
- Ray Palmer: [finding a creepy cabin in the woods] Oh, I've seen enough horror movie trailers to know this won't end well.
- Zari Tomaz: All right, our team's dealing with something called a shtriga. Do you know anything that could help them fight it?
- Charlie: Oh, a shtriga. Very intelligent and very deadly. If you want my help, it's gonna cost you.
- Zari Tomaz: Great. Will that come in the form of another haiku, or can we expect something a little more detailed?
- Ray Palmer: If you want to find the kids, we got to do it the old-fashioned way. Study their tracks. It's a good thing I came prepared, because one step in the wrong direction here, and you'll be traveling for miles in the wrong...
- John Constantine: Damn it, you nandy pandy, I said I need silence.
- Ray Palmer: Oh, you meant right now. I'm sorry, I thought you meant...
- [Constantine grabs and throws his compass away]
- Ray Palmer: Why are you being such a jerk?
- John Constantine: Because you shouldn't even be out here chasing a magical creature, all right? It's too dangerous.
- Ray Palmer: Too dangerous? You're lucky you're out here with me, because I can keep us alive on bugs and berries alone.
- John Constantine: You know, this has nothing to do with survival in the wild and everything to do with surviving magical creatures and those who dabble in the dark arts.
- Ray Palmer: I'll have you know I am no stranger to the world of magic.
- John Constantine: Yeah. Oh, don't think I haven't heard how Nora Darhk had you eating out of the palm of her wicked little hand. Oh, I bet she didn't even have to ask for the time stone, did she? No, you just gave it away like biscuits at tea time.
- Ray Palmer: Nora and I have a mutual respect for each other. It's not like I was tripping over myself...
- [he trips on something]
- Chad Stephens: Look, it's not safe for you guys out here. Okay? You're coming with me.
- Camper Ava: We can take care of ourselves.
- Chad Stephens: You're coming with me whether you like it or not.
- [he grabs Sara's arm and knocks Ava down]
- Chad Stephens: [in a demonic voice] You think you're so tough?
- Camper Sarah: I don't think it. I know it.
- Camper Sarah: John's potion will be wearing off soon, and it's back to our normal lives, where we're only responsible for babysitting Rory and Gary.
- Camper Ava: I'd like to thank you for giving me real childhood memories. To be honest, these memories have been kind of awful, mostly awkward, but... totally awesome.
- Camper Sarah: I mean, it wouldn't be childhood without all of the above.
- Camper Ava: I'm happy it was with you. And considering all the trouble those kids went through for a kiss... I'm guessing no childhood would be complete without one.
- Sara Lance: Couldn't help but notice our magical friend is not where she's supposed to be.
- Zari Tomaz: Oh, she's not? Rory, do you know anything about that?
- Mick Rory: You don't pay me enough to be a stinkin' prison guard.
- Sara Lance: I don't pay you anything.
- Mick Rory: I let the fake Amaya go.
- Ava Sharpe: Why would you do that?
- Zari Tomaz: Oh, in order to...
- [seeing Charlie enter]
- Zari Tomaz: ...have an extreme makeover.
- Sara Lance: Thanks for the shtriga tip.
- Charlie: Well, if you had your hands full with a shtriga, I figured you'd need my help with whatever you plebs face next.
- Ava Sharpe: Sounds like a mutually beneficial partnership.
- Charlie: One condition, though. I never set foot in that cage ever again. Got it?
- Gideon: Mr. Constantine's body is rejecting my treatments. His odds of survival are bleak.
- Ray Palmer: John, what you did out there was pretty selfless. I told you you were good.
- [taking the cigarette out of his mouth]
- Ray Palmer: That's not good for you.
- Sara Lance: Get some rest, John. Gideon, give him the good stuff.
- John Constantine: [as he's drugged up] Oh, Gideon. That's nice, love. We should party...
- Ray Palmer: He's getting worse. The magic he used to save that camper was pretty powerful.
- Sara Lance: Well, if magic has him on death's door, then maybe magic can save him.
- Ray Palmer: I think I know someone who can help. But I have no idea how to find her.
- Nora Darhk: Just one final ingredient. I trust you'll find that my potion is magical.
- Steve: [tasting and spitting it out] Ugh. You call that soup?
- Nora Darhk: Oh. I-I can start over.
- Steve: The Ren Fair opens in an hour. You know what? Forget it. It's not like folks come to this tent for the food anyways.
- Nora Darhk: I'm sorry?
- Steve: They come for the lusty wenches.
- Nora Darhk: I'm... I'm a witch.
- Steve: Okay, well, as long as it's a lusty witch, 'kay?
- Chad Stephens: I'm sorry. Couldn't help but admire your lanyard. Did you make that yourself?
- Ray Palmer: Oh. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, along with twenty-one required merit badges. I also went on to get certification in nuclear science and dentistry.
- Chad Stephens: Oh, snap! I've got some serious competition for "Coolest counselor" this summer, huh?
- [to Sara]
- Chad Stephens: What about you? Any special skills?
- Sara Lance: [clearly not taken with Chad] Martial arts.
- Chad Stephens: [makes a lame martial arts pose] Huwaa!
- [laughs]
- Chad Stephens: Sorry, it's just so fresh.
- [does air karate chops]
- Chad Stephens: Jackie Chan, you know.
- Sara Lance: [still unimpressed] I prefer knives and swords.
- Chad Stephens: Right, yeah. "Point" taken.
- [laughs]
- Mick Rory: You must've had balls to survive that hellhole.
- Charlie: Did what I had to. Shapeshifted into whatever monster would keep the others off my back. You know exactly what it's like. Pretending to be something worse than you are to survive.
- Mick Rory: Well, there's that. And there's finding someone you trust. I did time in Supermax with my old partner. It's hard to plot against a team.
- Charlie: I spent all my time shapeshifting and running. I never stuck around one place long enough to find anyone who I could trust.
- Mick Rory: Well... you gotta start somewhere.
