Quotes 

• Ava Sharpe : Uh, Ray! Who else saved the multiverse?

  Ray Palmer : Oh, uh, well The Flash, Supergirl, Batwoman.

  Ava Sharpe : Cool.

  Ray Palmer : Yeah.

  Nate Heywood : What, no Superman? Couldn't have been that big of a deal.

  Ray Palmer : Oh, no, no, Superman was there. He's very handsome.

• Ray Palmer : Look, Sara, we're really sorry. We thought we could make things easier for you by taking this off your plate.

  Sara Lance : And risking your own necks. Look, I already have one dead friend on my plate. I'm good there. And you know, none of you self-absorbed mega stars even bothered to ask me how I was doing.

  Ava Sharpe : Look, Sara, I told them not to mention Oliver, okay? I thought you wouldn't want to be reminded.

  Sara Lance : Reminded? What, did you think that I could just forget that my friend died?

  Ava Sharpe : No, I - look, I know things have been crazy around here.

  Sara Lance : Crazy around here? You still have no idea what I saw out there.

  Nate Heywood : What did happen?

  Sara Lance : Countless Earths died. I became a paragon and traveled back to the big bang. We restarted the universe and now no one even remembers what we've changed.

  Ava Sharpe : That's a lot to process.

  Sara Lance : Yeah, I know. So you could see why I would wanna talk to my friends about it. And instead I get cameras in my face.

• Kevin Harris : The wonder of time travel is allowing our cameras to capture some of the first color images of imperial Russia as we ride along on the Legends' patented party sneak.

  Behrad Tarazi : Turns out it's more of a fun funeral sneak.

  Sara Lance : Who died?

  Nate Heywood : Grigori Rasputin, AKA the Mad Monk. Equal parts mystic advisor and manipulative hornball.

  Ray Palmer : Rasputin was notoriously hard to kill. It took cyanide, a gun, and drowning before he stayed dead.

  [as the coffin lid is secured, mourners scream as it flies off and Rasputin sits up] 

  Behrad Tarazi : Um, guys, we sure he stayed dead?

• Ray Palmer : I've triangulated the timequake to 1917, St. Petersburg, Russia. Let's go and shrink the problem.

  Nate Heywood : [Sara grimaces]  Not good.

  Ray Palmer : I'm developing a catchphrase?

  Gideon : Executing time jump now.

  Sara Lance : No! Gideon, we're not taking a film crew to...

  [watching the transition through time] 

  Sara Lance : ...Imperial Russia. Yeah. Great. This is great, Ray.

  Nate Heywood : All right, Legends, put on your babushkas because we are rushing into Russia.

  Sara Lance : And now you're copying my thing.

  Nate Heywood : Totally. I just got really excited.

• Ray Palmer : Hi, I'm, uh, Ray Palmer, the Atom. This documentary is an exciting opportunity for me to improve my image. A lot of people still confuse me for the demon who possessed me and opened up the gates of Hell. His name was Neron, and he is no longer with me or inside me, or um... I really wish that you could meet my girlfriend, Nora. Uh, but she works out of town a lot, internationally. She's got a lot of global clients, kids mostly. She is a fairy godmother.

• Nate Heywood : What if more baddies start coming back, like, throughout history?

  Ray Palmer : If they do, we can call them evil do-overs.

  Ray Palmer : Villa-agains.

  Mona Wu : I like "encores".

• Sara Lance : Rasputin came back from the dead, and it caused a timequake. Ugh, this is kind of problem that I can wrap my head around. So I need you guys to forget about this documentary film crew and focus on the mission at hand, yes?

  Ray Palmer : Yes, we need to minimize the mishap.

  Ava Sharpe : Ooh, Ray, that's good. Because saving the day is what the Legends do best.

  Nate Heywood : Ava, you're in my shot.

• Mona Wu : Apparently, when Rasputin cured the Czarina's only son, the two fell madly in love. I think if Rasputin realized how much the Czarina loved him, he would wanna settle down with her, lead the kind of quiet life that doesn't disturb history. Maybe Rebecca Silver's next series could be called "Russian Nights."

  Nate Heywood : So, the St. Petersburg elite hated Rasputin's influence over the Czarina. So the Czar's own nephew, a prince by the name of Yusupov, he spearheaded the assassination. Ray, what if old Grigori came back...

  Ray Palmer , Nate Heywood : To settle the score?

  [gearing up] 

  Nate Heywood : We need to stop Rasputin from killing Yusupov.

  Mona Wu : [writing and sealing a love letter]  I'm going to deliver a love letter to Rasputin.

  Ava Sharpe : [assembling and loading a sniper rifle]  I'm gonna kill Rasputin. You in?

  Mick Rory : Yep.

• Ava Sharpe : Mission's blown. We need to retreat.

  Mick Rory : I'm not done with you, you rat!

  The Atom : [unaware that she is]  Good thing Sara's not watching this.

• Nate Heywood : Rasputin and I are two wandering souls who got a second chance at life. He shouldn't waste his encore on revenge. Damn it!

  The Atom : What?

  Nate Heywood : Mona was right. "Encore" feels better.

  The Atom : It does. Plus, with my new Atom cam, everybody can watch us fixing history without any bloodshed.

  [with an accompanying scream, a body lands right in front of Nate] 

  Nate Heywood : [seeing the broken window from which he was presumably thrown]  And Yusupov is dead. New plan.

• Nate Heywood : I remember her, Ray.

  The Atom : Who?

  Nate Heywood : I... I don't know her name, but she was on the ship with us.

• Ray Palmer : You know, I chalk it up to saving the timeline, and history has to be saved, and sometimes you have to take some people out, I guess.

• The Atom : Where am I? What happened?

  Sara Lance : Don't think, Ray, just enlarge.

  The Atom : Why is it so dark in here? Am I in a lake? A-A lake that smells like pierogies?

  Ava Sharpe : Ray, do it! Get big now!

  The Atom : Embigify. Your atomic number is up.

  Sara Lance : Now, Ray!

  The Atom : Size... matters!

  [as he enlarges, Rasputin explodes from the inside] 

  The Atom : Oh, no. What did... what did I do?

  Nate Heywood : You found your catchphrase, Ray!

  Mick Rory : What the hell?

  Wolfie : Raw meat.

  Behrad Tarazi : Question is...

  Nate Heywood : Did you get the shot, Kevin?

  Kevin Harris : [shell-shocked and covered in blood]  Uh, yeah, I-I... I got it.

• Mona Wu : Whoops, I think we forgot the cameraman.

  Nate Heywood : That's Kevin, the director. He's really more of an auteur.

  Mick Rory : We should get out there.

  Ava Sharpe : Sara clearly wants to handle this alone.

  Ray Palmer : But are we gonna let her?

• Sara Lance : Hi, everybody. We are the Legends, and we just wanted to say thank you for watching our film. We hope that you enjoyed it.

  [applause] 

  Ava Sharpe : Of course, uh, none of it was real.

  [sounds of confusion from the audience] 

  Kevin Harris : Excuse me? Sh... she-she's joking.

  Ava Sharpe : No, I'm not. Come on, time travel? I mean, it's the biggest hoax in history. Am I right?

  Ray Palmer : Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's obvious that this is all fake. How could Rasputin speak English?

  Kevin Harris : You told me it was temporal linguistic dysplasia.

  Behrad Tarazi : I mean, if we had so much as coughed, our modern germs would have wiped out half the population.

  Nate Heywood : Why wouldn't we just find baby Hitler and make him wrestle baby Stalin? Think about it.

  Mona Wu : The special effects were kind of questionable.

  Mick Rory : [boos]  Shut up, it's not real.

  Sara Lance : [disappointed, audience members get up and leave]  All right, everybody. I guess that just means don't believe everything you see on camera.

  Ava Sharpe : Yeah, it was all just a big, fake spectacle just like Heyworld last year. We are all a bunch of frauds.

  Sara Lance : Big frauds, everybody.

  Kevin Harris : You guys ruined my movie.

  Nate Heywood : Yeah, sorry.

• Ava Sharpe : Look, Sara, I wish I was the person who could say the perfect thing.

  Sara Lance : Behind you.

  Ava Sharpe : [taking down a palace guard]  But listen, I'm just... I'm not that person, okay? I-I... emotions are hard for me, and I don't even know what "restarting the universe" means. Behind you!

  [Sara takes down a guard] 

  Ava Sharpe : Listen to me, whatever happened to you, okay, whatever happens to you, I wanna be the person that's there for you. I'm here for you, Sara.

  Sara Lance : [they team up to take down yet another guard]  Ava, that was perfect.

  The Atom : [just as they're about to kiss]  Oh, sorry to ruin the moment, ladies, but we have a problem.

  Sara Lance : [getting to their feet]  Oh, come on.
