Quotes 

• Sara Lance : Okay, the symbol that Nora drew was a time travel spell, right? So why don't we just cast the same spell and get out of here?

  John Constantine : She was channelling the power of Mallus when she cast that spell. Not even I don't have that kind of juice.

  Sara Lance : I do. You said that Mallus can use me the way that he does Nora. So you summon Mallus into me, I draw the rune, the same as her, and we get to go home.

  John Constantine : And what about when the demon is inside you, eh?

  Sara Lance : You said I was strong enough to hold on my own self.

  John Constantine : Yeah, well, I was... trying to seduce you.

  Sara Lance : Oh, please. I was seducing you.

  Leo Snart : I hope no one was trying to seduce anyone while I was about to be lobotomized.

  John Constantine : You know, this is why I like to work alone.

• John Constantine : So, what's your story then, handsome?

  Leo Snart : I'm from another Earth, and I'm spoken for.

  Mick Rory : Yeah, his girlfriend's a guy. Anyway, this is too much for me. I'm gonna watch TV.

• John Constantine : How about a light, then?

  Sara Lance : Ask Mick, if you want your face burned off.

  John Constantine : I'm doomed either way.

• John Constantine : A shot of pickle juice and a gin and tonic will sort that right out.

  Sara Lance : Oh, I thought this was all over. The blood lust, the fight for my soul, all the crap that I've had to endure.

  John Constantine : Well, there's always more crap to endure. Take it from one who's damned his own soul to Hell. There was a... a girl, in Newcastle. Astra. I failed her.

  Sara Lance : Some might say you should forgive yourself.

  John Constantine : Hmm. Well, if I could, then perhaps I wouldn't have the need to save the likes of poor Nora. What about you? Have you forgiven yourself for your sins?

  Sara Lance : I don't deserve forgiveness.

• John Constantine : [seeing the bridge of the Waverider]  Blimey! Whoo, this is one hell of a jam jar you've got here.

  Mick Rory : I thought we gave the Englishman to the Time Pigs.

  Sara Lance : That was Rip. This is John Constantine.

  Mick Rory : Skinny Brit in a trench coat. Same thing.

  John Constantine : Oh, doubtful, mate. You see, I am an accomplished warlock, an expert of the occult, and a master of exorcism. I'm also a Taurus for those of you taking notes.

• John Constantine : I broke into the looney bin to perform an exorcism. And while I was at it, that demon called your name. Said you'd soon be slipping into the dark. And I figured if Emily's demon knows you on a first name basis, you might know something that can help me save you both.

  Sara Lance : I don't need saving. And I am done fighting demons.

  Nate Heywood : You think this has something to do with the demon we're fighting?

  Sara Lance : [Constantine's interest is piqued]  I was speaking of them metaphorically, but, yes, I did recently visit the spirit world. It's a long story, but it's probably how the demon knows my name. And the demon's name is Mallus.

  John Constantine : Mallus. Smashing. Very handy, demon names. Just what I need to cast this Mallus wanker out. Now, I don't know what you and your, uh, dishy lot have gotten yourselves into, but I suggest you leave it to the experts. So, nice one for the tip. I've got a girl to save.

• John Constantine : Oh, Ray. Big man. Do us a favor, uh... give us a hand with the cargo door, will you?

  Ray Palmer : It's actually apretty intuitive design mechanism. Uh, basic open/close functionality.

  John Constantine : Yeah, I know how to open the damn door, mate. Now, what's this about an anti-magic gun?

  Ray Palmer : Oh, uh, I was gonna put it in storage.

  John Constantine : Well, don't. You keep it nearby.

  Ray Palmer : You said so yourself, they key to stopping Mallus are the totems.

  John Constantine : It could be. But in the meantime, you may need a more accessible solution for a more familiar target. Sara may not know it, but the demon's power, it lives inside of her. If, or more like when she succumbs to it, you're gonna need that gun.

  Gideon : [he strikes a match and lights his cigarette]  As always, this is a non-smoking aircraft.

  John Constantine : Uh, don't worry, Gideon, sweetheart.

  [patting Ray on the shoulder] 

  John Constantine : I'll see you around, Squire.

  Ray Palmer : [couging through the smoke]  That guy's cool.

• Sara Lance : We'll get to your demon, but how did you even find me?

  John Constantine : Oh, simple, that. I attuned a dowsing dagger to your specific energy, I followed it from there.

  Sara Lance : And I thought time travel was weird.

  John Constantine : Well, you're not wrong about that, luv.

• Sara Lance : This is not just any demon, and we've been fighting it before you even knew its name. And if this girl's connected to Mallus, she might be able to help us destroy him.

  John Constantine : You wanna tag along for an exorcism?

  Sara Lance : Yep.

  John Constantine : That's out of the bloody question, luv.

  Sara Lance : Well, we gave you its name. So you owe us.

  John Constantine : Well, I gave you your soul. So you owe me indefinitely.

  Sara Lance : Hmm. All the more reason for me to help you.

• John Constantine : We need her alert for an exorcism.

  [opening her eyes] 

  John Constantine : Nora. Nora, luv. Ah, they've got her knocked out cold.

  Sara Lance : [to Nate and Leo]  You guys, go hit up the pharmacy. See if you can find some adrenaline.

  Nate Heywood : [hearing Amaya's fight with Kuasa]  Screw it. I'm gonna help Amaya. You get the drugs.

  Leo Snart : [tossing Nate his cold gun]  Nate, take it.

  Nate Heywood : How do I use it?

  Leo Snart : You pull the trigger.

• John Constantine : Leo, we really need...

  Leo Snart : Yes, drugs, pronto. On it.

  John Constantine : [Leo turns to leave]  Nice one. Oh, and, uh, see if you can find me a light, yeah?

  Leo Snart : Got it!

  John Constantine : [seeing Sara's expression]  What?

• John Constantine : Look, they still have the same paintings on the walls.

  Sara Lance : That's how we send a message.

  John Constantine : The picture of the blessed virgin that fell off the wall when Nora was possessed would still be hanging now in 1969.

  Sara Lance : If we write a message on the back of the painting, then the Legends will find it in 2017.

  Leo Snart : Sure, as long as no one redecorates for the next fifty years. Fingers crossed.

• Sara Lance : What is that?

  John Constantine : It's a little reminder that, uh, you're a survivor. Strong enough to keep even the most powerful demons at bay. A laundry room in a mental asylum in 1969 might not be the worst place to be stuck.

  Sara Lance : Are we really this damaged?

  John Constantine : I certainly hope so.

  [they start to make out] 

• Sara Lance : Hey, before you go, I, uh... I just wanted to say thank you. For helping me with Mallus, that is.

  John Constantine : Oh, of course. Uh, helping you with Mallus was, uh, good for me, too. If you ever need me to help you with Mallus again, just give us a call. I'll be right there. Although, there are lots of people out there with very weird demons, and they all need my help.

  Sara Lance : Mm, I understand.

  John Constantine : Good.

  Sara Lance : And thanks for the shag, too. That was great.

• Doctor : Sir? Visiting hours are over.

  John Constantine : [briefly chanting in Latin]  You never saw me and, uh, everything is perfectly normal.

• John Constantine : Emily. Hey, sweetheart. It's me again. John.

  Nora Darhk : I didn't think you'd find me after they locked me up in here. His voice, it's so loud. He says I can't fight him.

  John Constantine : Well, let's prove the nasty git wrong, shall we?

• Dr. Ellen Moore : Sir! I don't know how you got in here, but I have contacted the authorities and will press charges.

  John Constantine : Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, luv. I can explain. And don't get your pearls in a twist. If you'll just look at this here coin...

  Dr. Ellen Moore : I will do nothing of the...

  [he tosses the coin into the air; she stares at it, entranced; when it lands, she looks around and sees he's disappeared] 

• John Constantine : Sara Lance. What the bloody hell have you gotten yourself into?

• John Constantine : [noticing Amaya's totem]  The Anansi Totem. That belongs to...

  Nate Heywood : Her granddaughter. Same totem, different Vixen. She's from 1942. You were saying about the "warlock" thing?

  John Constantine : Accomplished warlock, mate. Well, I am charmed to know another who bears the family name.

• John Constantine : If we're lucky, Mallus hasn't cemented his control over the girl yet.

  Sara Lance : Well, if you're looking for luck, you're on the wrong time ship.

• Sara Lance : This is Damien Darhk's daughter? How is that even possible?

  Zari Tomaz : They changed her name. Looks like after Darhk was killed by the Green Arrow, Nora was placed in Child Protective Services.

  John Constantine : Demons prey on the most vulnerable of souls. This one, she lost her name, her family.

  Nate Heywood : Okay, so if we exorcise Mallus, we can stop the family business before it takes off.

• Leo Snart : I got the adrenaline, and what is this?

  John Constantine : It's the Triangle of Solomon with some elder runes and Enochian script. It's a trap of my own design. Mallus will have no chance of breaking free. Now, I gotta warn you both. Things are about to get a little bit wonky in here. Anything with an electrical current, you might want to turn it off.

• Leo Snart : So, where are we, exactly?

  Sara Lance : Well, I think the question is "when?".

  John Constantine : [picking up a discarded newspaper]  January 16th, 1969. She sent us back in time.

  Sara Lance : [spotting a younger version of Dr. Moore]  Wait, is that Nora's doctor?

  John Constantine : Apparently her taste in jewelry never changed. But yeah, this is all a bit weird. Can we get your, uh, team to come pick us up?

  Sara Lance : We can't communicate across time without special equipment.

  Leo Snart : You mean we're stuck here.

  John Constantine : [seeing Sara's look as he puts a cigarette in his mouth]  Well, we wouldn't want to stand out, now would we?

  [he strikes a match, but it doesn't light] 

  John Constantine : Bollocks.

• Sara Lance : What's happening?

  John Constantine : It's Mallus' trickery. Fear, anger, he's using your darkest emotions to prime you for possession. He wants you to be afraid. I need you to fight him, Sara.

  [he chants in Latin] 

  John Constantine : Feels like the mother of all hangovers, don't it?

• John Constantine : Are you sure you wanna do this, luv?

  Sara Lance : You wanna stay here forever?

  John Constantine : [pouring a protective circle around her]  The ash of a slain phoenix will hold Mallus within his parameter. And we'll, uh, hasten his wake-up call by combining extract of hawk weed with the saliva of a damned man.

  [he spits into the vial he's holding] 

  John Constantine : Which, sorry to say, luv, you'll have to ingest.

  Sara Lance : [downing the concoction without hesitation]  Let's summon this demon already.

• Sara Lance : How many times do I have to tell you I'm fine?

  John Constantine : Well, somehow you managed to channel a demon of the highest order, and you didn't succumb.

  Amaya Jiwe : Sara's strong. She's the strongest person I know.

• Zari Tomaz : Hey, when Nora was possessed by Mallus, he seemed scared of my totem. He said that I was "one of the six."

  John Constantine : And that bastard doesn't fear much. If your totem gave him the frights, maybe these trinkets are the keys to stopping him.

  Ray Palmer : So much for our anti-magic nanite gun.

  Amaya Jiwe : I only know about five totems. There's my Spirit, your Air, Kuasa's Water. And then there's Earth, and there's Fire. But could there be more?

  John Constantine : I'll do some digging. I have, uh, numerous contacts I can draw on. Well, this has been, uh, weird. Even for me. Well, I'll be on my way, then.

• Mallus : You cannot save this one, Constantine. You've already failed her, just as you failed Astra.

  John Constantine : Omnis legio, omnis lego, omnis congretio et secta diabolica.

  Mallus : This vessel is mine. Even now, her soul slips into the dark to be joined by another, a friend of yours. Sara Lance.

  John Constantine : Sara? How do you know Sara?

• John Constantine : Blimey. Whoo, this is one hell of a jam jar you got here.

  Mick Rory : I thought we gave the Englishman to the Time Pigs.

  Sara Lance : That was Rip. This is John Constantine.

  Mick Rory : Skinny Brit in a trench coat. Same thing.

  Mick Rory : Oh, doubtful, mate. You see, I'm an accomplished warlock, and expert of the occult, and a master of exorcism. I'm also a Taurus, for those of you taking notes.
