- Charlie: Oh, you gotta be joking. "Vandal Savage." That's a real name?
- John Constantine: And here's me thinking that Damien Darhk's moniker was a touch on-the-nose.
- Mick Rory: There's something about Buck and Garima you should know. They didn't live happily ever after. They came from two different worlds. Worlds that needed them. They didn't belong together. But they loved one another. A lot.
- Mona Wu: How do you know? The next book in the series hasn't even been published yet.
- Mick Rory: I just DO!
- Mona Wu: I'm telling you, the men in black are behind all of this. They're framing me so they can keep hurting the magical creatures.
- Zari Tomaz: Hurting them how?
- Mona Wu: I don't know. But Konane was terrified when they came for him. I was just trying to help him.
- Sara Lance: Mona, we saw the security footage, and... there were no men in black. Just you.
- Mona Wu: Well, they must have altered the footage to hide the truth. I'm like Mulder, and those guys are like the shadow government covering their tracks! It's a conspiracy! The truth is out there!
- Ray Palmer: Okay. Okay, Fox. Okay, Fox, take a breath.
- Mick Rory: [after shooting Mona with a tranquilizer] What kind of gun is this?
- Ray Palmer: Did you just try to *shoot her* shoot her?
- Gary Green: Oh, thank god you're back.
- Ava Sharpe: What is going on?
- Gary Green: Uh... long story, lots of twists and turns. Some dramatic irony.
- Sara Lance: CliffNotes, Gary.
- Gary Green: Our potty-mouthed puppet is locked up.
- Ava Sharpe: Wonderful, because I've got another job for you, Gary. But you're not gonna like it.
- Sara Lance: Any hits?
- Zari Tomaz: I tried to isolate the portal from today's Courier activity, but so far, no dice. It would help if I had the actual Courier.
- Sara Lance: Sure, here you go.
- [she puts a handful of broken pieces on the table]
- Zari Tomaz: Okay, never mind.
- Gary Green: [after getting mind-wiped] I don't know who I am. I don't know why anything is things. I don't know where my nipple went. Where's my nipple? Where's my nipple?
- Sara Lance: So we have a vicious monster on the loose and no idea where it might have disappeared to.
- Mona Wu: He's not a vicious monster! People just assume that because of the way he looks. He's a demigod. He used to be a king!
- Ray Palmer: [Mick raises his tranq gun] Hey, what are you doing?
- Mick Rory: Seeing if this thing works on her mouth.
- Zari Tomaz: So, I'll head to the Bureau and do some digging?
- Sara Lance: What? No. I need you on the hunt for that monster.
- Zari Tomaz: But you said...
- Sara Lance: Exactly what I needed to say. That girl is clearly bonkers, but the Kaupe trusts her, and we need her as bait.
- Zari Tomaz: What if she's not crazy? What if there really is a cover-up at the Bureau?
- Sara Lance: Then Ava would know about it, and she wouldn't allow it.
- Sara Lance: I'm picking up a magical signature this way.
- John Constantine: Well, as far as hiding places go, smack bang in the center of of a major city would not be my top choice.
- John Constantine: Lucha Libre wrestling is all about character and charisma; a modern-day morality play. Good versus evil, the people versus the man.
- Ray Palmer: Well, according to the altered historical record, El Lobo arrived on the scene six months ago and quickly rose to the top. The mystery surrounding his true identity inspired novels, movies, and TV shows.
- Charlie: Aw, bollocks. This is the one that I get sidelined for?
- John Constantine: Hold the bloody phone. Are you El Cura?
- Sara Lance: Oh, you know this guy?
- John Constantine: Anyone who knows anything about Mexican culture knows El Cura, the legendary luchador and movie star.
- Sara Lance: No.
- John Constantine: You know, I loved your monster movies, mate. Whoever wrote those gems had a better handle on magic than any of those tosspots up in Hollywood.
- Dorothy Heywood: So, don't forget, the benefit is tonight.
- Nate Heywood: Mom, I don't know if I'm gonna make it this year. I have a work emergency.
- Dorothy Heywood: Work can wait. Right, Hank?
- Hank Heywood: No.
- Dorothy Heywood: Yeah, your father's nodding. Okay, darling. See you here at 7:00.
- Mona Wu: Look at him. This is what he's always wanted; to be worshipped and admired like the demigod he is, not feared and shunned like some monster.
- Mick Rory: Well, he'd better make the most of it. The second he gets backstage, it's lights out and back to the Time Bureau.
- Mona Wu: That wasn't the plan. He can't go back to the Time Bureau. It's not safe.
- Mick Rory: Not my call, don't care.
- Nate Heywood: There has to be a logical reason why Hank replaced the footage. So let's think about it.
- Zari Tomaz: Look, I-I get that you and your dad are in a good place for the first time in a while, but we just can't ignore that this is happening.
- Nate Heywood: But can we please reserve judgment 'till we see the footage?
- Zari Tomaz: Sure. Uh, the original footage can only be restored from the device used to delete it.
- Nate Heywood: You mean my dad's phone?
- Zari Tomaz: Yeah.
- Nate Heywood: We got to go for it tonight. He's gonna be distracted. He'll be boozing and schmoozing at the benefit gala. I have a plus-one; are you in?
- Zari Tomaz: Uh, yeah, okay. Uh, you know, as long as we don't have to do that thing where we act like we're dating.
- Nate Heywood: You and I dating would be totally weird.
- Zari Tomaz: [through a mouthful of food] Why throw such a big, fancy party if you're only going to have tiny little treats?
- Nate Heywood: [after talking with his mother] Oh, my god. That went well. Are you... are you blushing right now?
- Zari Tomaz: No. Shut up. Take my toothpick. Stay on task. We're here to get your dad's phone, that's it.
- Ava Sharpe: You better have a damn good reason for hanging up on me. Where is the Kaupe, and why isn't he in Bureau custody?
- [Sara leads her onto the dance floor]
- Ava Sharpe: What are you doing?
- Sara Lance: Making sure we're not overheard.
- Ava Sharpe: By who?
- [Sara subtly frisks her]
- Ava Sharpe: Sara, my ass is already on the line. Feeling me up in front of my boss is not a good idea right now.
- Sara Lance: I know things got ugly between us today, but... I just want to put it behind us.
- Ava Sharpe: I needed one thing from you today, Sara: for you to be in my corner. That's all I asked.
- Sara Lance: Well, I'm here now.
- Ava Sharpe: Well, that's great. Just in time for my meeting with Hank, where I'll probably be fired thanks to you.
- Sara Lance: Ava, Hank is the real problem here. I mean, he's been torturing prisoners off-site.
- Ava Sharpe: Who cares? A few weeks ago, the Legends were sending them to hell. I mean, since when is protecting magical creatures, things that shouldn't even be in our world in the first place, more important than protecting me?
- Sara Lance: When have you become so callous about the prisoners in your care?
- Ava Sharpe: My priority is to protect history, Sara; human history. If Hank has to experiment on a few creatures to try and find a better way to fight them, then so be it.
- Sara Lance: Ava, you do not believe that. Come on, I know you. You're not like Hank. This is your Bureau, and he's doing something twisted with it.
- Ava Sharpe: You don't understand how any of this works. No, Hank is the reason that this Bureau is here. If we piss him off, it all goes away. Think of how many people, how many human people, would get hurt if that happened.
- Sara Lance: Well, he can't shut us down.
- Ava Sharpe: Oh, my god, Sara. Everything is not about you. Do you understand? You're asking me to risk everything, for what? For some conspiracy theory? For a bunch of monsters? I...
- Sara Lance: For me.
- Ava Sharpe: Well, I've already given you everything I have to give, so... today, I asked you for one thing.
- Sara Lance: Ava, don't do this.
- Ava Sharpe: Just go. I'm done.
- Ava Sharpe: Sara, the situation with the Kaupe has gotten much worse. He now has an accomplice, Mona Wu. Now, she may not look it, but she is extremely dangerous. She completely wiped Gary's mind.
- Sara Lance: Uh... um...
- Ava Sharpe: [seeing Mona trying to sneak away] Wait, you've had Mona in custody this whole time, and you didn't...
- Sara Lance: It's a long story, but I need to explain it to you in person. This line might not be secure.
- Ava Sharpe: The line isn't secure? Sara, what are you...
- [seeing the Kaupe]
- Ava Sharpe: You have the Kaupe, too?
- Sara Lance: Look, I ju... I can't explain right now.
- Ava Sharpe: Okay, then I'm sending an extraction team.
- Sara Lance: Gideon, mask our location.
- Ava Sharpe: Sara, you need to bring in that Fugitive right now.
- Sara Lance: I'm sorry.
- Ava Sharpe: [seeing her move to a control panel] Don't you dare hang up on...
- Mona Wu: [Sara ends the call] Whoa. Did you just hang up on your girlfriend?
- Sara Lance: Mona, you better not be wrong about this.
- Sara Lance: I need to go to that benefit so I can talk to Ava face to face.
- Ray Palmer: Before you leave, I have a petition to become interim captain of the Waverider in your absence. I have a John Hancock from every Legend except you.
- Sara Lance: [two words in Mick's signature, reading "Go ____ ____, Haircut", are redacted] It looks like you crossed out part of Rory's signature.
- Ray Palmer: Oh, r-really?
- Sara Lance: The team is to keep a low profile. Radio silence, and absolutely no time travel.
- Ray Palmer: Captain Palmer's got it covered.
- Sara Lance: Interim captain.
- Mona Wu: Koane, I know you don't like losing, but it doesn't make you any less of a king. In fact, it makes you a hero, like Buck in my favorite Rebecca Silver book.
- Mick Rory: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Where Buck crash-lands on Garima's home planet and then is forced into mortal combat? That one?
- Mona Wu: Yeah. You read it?
- Mick Rory: Heard of it.
- [the book was written by Mick Rory himself under the alias of Rebecca Silver]
- Dorothy Heywood: Is this your new girlfriend?
- Nate Heywood: Um, yeah. This is Zari.
- Dorothy Heywood: Zari. What a beautiful name for a beautiful woman with excellent child-bearing hips.
- [pats Zari's hips]
- Dorothy Heywood: Not to put a clock on it or anything, but... hmm, grandchildren can be so lovely.
- Mona Wu: [Sitting beside the dead body of Konane, to Mick Rory] You were right. There's no such thing as happily ever after.
- John Constantine: [watching Konane wrestle as a luchador] Damn, he's good.
- El Cura: He's too good. In Lucha libre, every match tells a story. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose so you can rise again. But there are rules, there is a plan. With this guy, there's no rules, there's no plan. He just wins every time.
- John Constantine: Oh, so that's why you're here, eh? Drowning your sorrows rather than be up there where you belong. Listen, mate, I've had my fair share of defeats these past days, but lying on your ass is no way to get your mojo back.
