Quotes 

• Wyatt Logan : Look, I owe you, okay?

  Rufus Carlin : Yeah, well, you might want to use that towel to stuff under the door to stop the, uh, noise. This is still, believe it or not, a work environment.

  Lucy Preston : [entering as they share a laugh]  Rufus, why don't you and Jiya take our room for a few nights? I'll be fine on the couch, really. Morning, Wyatt.

  Wyatt Logan : Hi.

  Rufus Carlin : [as Wyatt leaves, Lucy enters the bathroom and closes the door]  But I really have to pee.

• Jiya : San Antonio, Texas. November 23, 1936.

  Denise Christopher : Lucy?

  Lucy Preston : The Texas Centennial Exposition? Six million people attended, including President Roosevelt.

  Wyatt Logan : FDR sounds like a Rittenhouse target to me.

  Lucy Preston : Agreed, but the Exposition took place in Dallas, a few hundred miles away.

  Denise Christopher : [to Flynn]  What about you? Ever pick up any Rittenhouse intel about this?

  Garcia Flynn : Zilch.

  Wyatt Logan : Well, if you're not here to provide intelligence, what are you good for?

• Garcia Flynn : Are you saying Rittenhouse is going after some blues singer?

  Connor Mason : *The* blues singer. Look, if it wasn't for Robert Johnson, there'd be no modern blues. No modern blues, no rock and roll; none of your Elvis, Beatles, Stones, Zeppelin. None of them.

  Rufus Carlin : Which is bad, no doubt; no one wants to listen to Pat Boone on a radio 24/7, but I think I'm missing the larger geopolitical point.

  Lucy Preston : Actually, Mason makes sense. It wouldn't just be Rittenhouse killing rock and roll at its source, it would be them killing the cultural revolution of the 1960s, the civil rights movement, the... the fall of Nixon, the end of the Vietnam War. The counterculture as we know it.

  Wyatt Logan : Wait, wait, wait. You're saying all of this happens because two guys don't record an album?

  Connor Mason : Precisely.

• Rufus Carlin : Fourth seat's ready. I say Connor takes it.

  Lucy Preston : Yeah.

  Denise Christopher : Absolutely.

  Connor Mason : Absolutely not.

  Rufus Carlin : Connor, you obviously know more about Robert Johnson and his albums than any of us.

• Garcia Flynn : Are you... you are afraid of riding in your own invention.

  Lucy Preston : Wait a minute. All those test trips before we met you? You never once time traveled yourself?

  Connor Mason : Well, it's bloody dangerous.

  Lucy Preston : Yeah, I know.

  Connor Mason : And perhaps Rufus and Jiya have made the correct calculations to safely transport a fourth person.

  Rufus Carlin : We did.

  Connor Mason : Yes, but perhaps you didn't, so, no.

• Denise Christopher : Flynn, you're on board this mission. Wyatt, you're staying here with me.

  Wyatt Logan : What?

  Lucy Preston : But why?

  Rufus Carlin : You can't be serious.

  Denise Christopher : Look, Flynn's already been on a couple of missions. We either start trusting him or we don't.

  Rufus Carlin : We don't. We definitely don't.
