- Lucy Preston: How can you be so calm right now?
- Wyatt Logan: Because I've been through a lot in the last couple of days, and I fought it for a long time. You can call it fate or God or the Force, but I am meant to do something. I am meant to protect the both of you. I see that now, and I will.
- Lucy Preston: You realize you sound like a crazy person, right?
- Rufus Carlin: Mmm hmm.
- Wyatt Logan: I sound like you.
- Lucy Preston: Exactly.
- Wyatt Logan: Two lefts from headquarters, thirty minutes on the freeway, and four gravel roundabouts. That should put us somewhere in the... National Park. Smart place for a black site.
- Denise Christopher: You stole a time machine, Wyatt. We can't exactly throw you in county jail.
- Wyatt Logan: Hey, you think you could, uh, slip me a snorkel before the waterboarding starts?
- Denise Christopher: I am seriously pissed at you, but I put in a call to Sam Dwyer. He's a JAG defense lawyer, a good one.
- Wyatt Logan: I don't want a defense. I deserve this.
- Denise Christopher: [standing to leave] Good luck.
- Ernest Hemingway: If there's anyone who can help us find the folks you're looking for, Josie can.
- Rufus Carlin: Josephine Baker? My mom had a record cover of her that got me through some lonely nights.
- Dave Baumgardner: That is some antique porn, my friend.
- Rufus Carlin: I prefer the term "vintage".
- Wyatt Logan: I never meant for you to get pulled off your detail. I'm sorry.
- Denise Christopher: The hours sucked.
- Wyatt Logan: Yeah, but... changing horses midstream, that's risky. Wait, so this Neville guy just shows up with how many people?
- Denise Christopher: A dozen, maybe more.
- Wyatt Logan: On a top secret project like this? How do you get that much clearance for that many people? Overnight? In Delta, we once ran a two-month op in the Ghazni province where the village chiefs were itching for a fight. Well, we showed up as an international peacekeaping force. Painted the schools, built the wells, all that stuff. By the time the Afghans realized that we controlled their village, there was nothing they could do about it. Takeovers don't have to be hostile. Nah. No, I don't think you got canned 'cause of my little joyride. This thing feels organized. It feels coordinated. They had to be planning this thing for weeks. This is a coup.
- Emma Whitmore: It's a common misconception, but it's not true.
- Garcia Flynn: Well, why do they say short people have a Napoleon complex?
- Emma Whitmore: Well, that's just the thing. Napoleon wasn't short. He was 5'7". That's above average for his era. He just... he surrounded himself with tall men, and it just made him look short. It's all relative.
- Garcia Flynn: How do you know that?
- Emma Whitmore: Because I met him.
- [seeing his look]
- Emma Whitmore: What, you think the Wild West was my first trip?
- Rufus Carlin: Whoa. Scary Rittenhouse dude is your father?
- Denise Christopher: You shouldn't have talked to him.
- Lucy Preston: I had to see him with my own eyes.
- Denise Christopher: You put yourself in serious danger.
- Rufus Carlin: The guy who's been terrorizing me, that's your dad?
- Lucy Preston: My biological father.
- Rufus Carlin: How about you do me a favor, and next time you and your dad are at a barbecue, you tell him it'd be super great if he didn't kill my family!
- Denise Christopher: Okay, his name's Benjamin Cahill. Squeaky clean record. He's a pediatric surgeon at UCSF, for god's sake.
- Rufus Carlin: Okay, that is so creepy.
- Denise Christopher: Flynn jumped. May 21, 1927.
- Lucy Preston: Paris.
- Rufus Carlin: What's Paris?
- Lucy Preston: That's the day that Charles Lindbergh landed in Paris; the first transatlantic solo flight. But I cannot do this, not now.
- Rufus Carlin: Okay, where's Wyatt? I mean, we're not doing this without him.
- Denise Christopher: After his little stunt, there's zero chance he's going on this trip. My hands are tied. You can either jump into that Lifeboat, or you can sit back and let Flynn torch history.
- Lucy Preston: Maybe we let Flynn torch history.
- Lucy Preston: We know that Rittenhouse is terrible. We know that... that they want to take the Mothership back and destroy everything. So what if we let Flynn take them out? I mean, that's a good thing, right?
- Rufus Carlin: Lucy, I'm gonna go.
- Lucy Preston: What? Why? I mean, after everything that Rittenhouse said they're gonna do to your family?
- Rufus Carlin: Yes, they wildly and extravagantly suck, and I want them gone, but Flynn is going to hurt people. He is going to kill people, change history. You know that. And if we don't stop him... that's on us. I'll go alone if I have to.
- Lucy Preston: [pause] I'm in.
- Denise Christopher: Lucy Preston, Rufus Carlin, this is Master Sergeant David Baumgardner.
- Rufus Carlin: Bam Bam. Uh, Wyatt mentioned you before.
- Dave Baumgardner: Dave's fine.
- Denise Christopher: We've had him on standby since the Alamo mission.
- Dave Baumgardner: I thought Agent Christopher was yanking my chain when she said "time travel", but...
- [glancing at the Lifeboat]
- Dave Baumgardner: Holy crap.
- Lucy Preston: I know how you feel.
- Denise Christopher: He's been thoroughly briefed, but show him the ropes. You're the varsity squad now.
- Rufus Carlin: That is not comforting.
- Dave Baumgardner: Thought you said the ride would be bumpy.
- Rufus Carlin: Nothing? You're not nauseous at all? Not even "Tea Ride at Disneyland" type queasy?
- Lucy Preston: Lindbergh is set to touch down any minute. There's about 100,000 people waiting for him to land just west of here.
- Rufus Carlin: Flying what, 3,500 miles in a crappy single-seater? Guy's like Indiana Jones.
- Lucy Preston: He was. Just a nice boy from St. Louis who becomes the most famous man in the world. About a decade from now he becomes a Nazi sympathizer, paranoid and anti-Semitic. Hitler awards him a medal.
- Rufus Carlin: Boy, that story took a dark turn.
- Ernest Hemingway: You really think that there's a chance Lindbergh is still alive? I'm a reporter for the Toronto Star. Name's Hemingway.
- Lucy Preston: Ernest Hemingway?
- Ernest Hemingway: You read my book.
- Lucy Preston: Oh, my god. I've... I've read all of them.
- [he looks at her in confusion]
- Lucy Preston: I mean... all of the words in your one book, but maybe you will write more.
- Ernest Hemingway: I doubt it, but still, tell me you love whiskey, and I'll marry you.
- Ernest Hemingway: I told you Josie would help. If I had a nickel for every time I hit on this woman, I'd have...
- Josephine Baker: $1.05.
- Ernest Hemingway: Sounds about right.
- Emma Whitmore: His shoulder's dislocated.
- Garcia Flynn: I need him focused. We need to find something for his pain.
- Emma Whitmore: I don't think Vicodin's been invented yet.
- Garcia Flynn: Well, people are getting drunk someplace. Improvise. Get me some absinthe.
- [one of his thugs turns to leave, and Emma starts to follow him]
- Garcia Flynn: Where are you going?
- Emma Whitmore: The Dingo Bar. That place is gonna be crawling with famous people. You think I'm gonna miss a chance to meet Picasso?
- Lucy Preston: What's that?
- Dave Baumgardner: It's a 1927 Colt .38.
- Lucy Preston: But where's your modern gun, like whatever Wyatt uses?
- Dave Baumgardner: I was told not to bring anything back from 2017. Those are the rules.
- Lucy Preston: You're supposed to ignore *that* rule.
- Dave Baumgardner: Now you tell me.
- Emma Whitmore: Are you sure you're not gonna kill him with that thing?
- Garcia Flynn: Oh, he's flying in slow and low. This thing can cripple a rudder from twice this distance. He'll be fine; he just needs to land early, that's all.
- Lucy Preston: Hey, mom. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you. I... just had to borrow a book or ten.
- Carol Preston: I see. What's got you reading about Charles Lindbergh?
- Lucy Preston: He still became a word-class a-hole. Isolationist, anti-Semitic, the whole nine.
- Carol Preston: You say that like it's news.
- Lucy Preston: I just don't get it. I mean, he-he gets injured in a... in a crash landing, and then disappears for a few weeks, only to re-emerge to claim credit for the first transatlantic flight. Why?
- Carol Preston: He was an ambitious man. I mean, his father was a Congressman. Maybe the love of the spotlight got passed down. I mean, he had money, adoration, power. How do you walk away from a family like that?
- Lucy Preston: I just thought he'd make a different choice.
- Carol Preston: I know meeting your father has thrown you, and I get it that you don't want to talk to me about it, but what do we do in our family when we go through tough times? When we need to collect our thoughts?
- Lucy Preston: We write them down.
- Carol Preston: We write them down.
- [she offers Lucy a gift; inside is the journal of which a copy from the future is in Flynn's possession]
- Lucy Preston: It's a journal.
