Quotes 

• Denise Christopher : Why would Rittenhouse care about a hotel?

  Connor Mason : Because in that hotel on November the 23rd, 1936, Robert Johnson and Don Law changed the world.

  Wyatt Logan : How?

  Connor Mason : By recording a series of albums.

  Garcia Flynn : Okay, keep drinking.

  Connor Mason : No, Robert Johnson.

  [blank stares] 

  Connor Mason : King of the Delta blues?

  [more blank stares] 

  Connor Mason : Father of rock and roll?

  [blank stares again] 

  Connor Mason : You people are philistines!

• Rufus Carlin : Hey, I'm glad you and Jessica are enjoying the room.

  Wyatt Logan : I know, I feel bad about...

  Rufus Carlin : Because that 1950s Kem Weber sofa sleeps like a dream. It's like staying at the Four Seasons.

  Wyatt Logan : Really?

  Rufus Carlin : Yeah, except there's only ever one season, and that season is winter.

• 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.

• Wyatt Logan : Where have you been?

  Denise Christopher : I need to speak with you.

  Wyatt Logan : What's up?

  Denise Christopher : [an alarm blares]  Damn it. The Mothership jumped. We got to deal with that first.

  Wyatt Logan : First? What are we dealing with second?

• 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.

• 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.

• Wyatt Logan : Please, you don't trust Flynn any more than Rufus or me. What the hell is going on here? Why am I not with the team?

  Denise Christopher : How'd you like to take out Rittenhouse for good?
