The Curse of the Earth Totem


 * Ray: We need to tell Sara we gotta get to Detroit.
 * Mick: Nope. She's off to Star City. She's been texting some guy. They're going on a date.
 * Ray: How do you know that? Wait, you're looking at her phone?
 * Mick: I look at everyone's phone. Helps pass the time.


 * Mick: What's up?
 * Amaya: Nothing.
 * Mick: I said "what's up".
 * Amaya: Fine, you're an unbiased listener. I want to change my granddaughter Kuasa's past, and well, improve her future.
 * Mick: So do it.
 * Amaya: It's not that simple. What if I inadvertently change my other granddaughter's destiny?
 * Mick: So don't do it.
 * Amaya: And then there's Nate. I still have to go back to 1942 and marry someone else so that Kuasa and Mari are even born. We can never end up together. I feel paralyzed. Every step I take, it feels like it could just have disastrous consequences.
 * Mick: Take a look around. You think these people give a damn about consequences? Take the night off. A true pirate doesn't live for tomorrow, they only live for the moment.


 * [Rip Hunter and Wally West are both very drunk. Rip samples Wally's "Rocket Fuel", which allows speedsters to get drunk.]
 * Rip: Mmmm. God! That Cisco's a ruddy genius.
 * Wally West: [sighs] He is. So's Barry, Caitlin and Wells. Wait, maybe that's why I never fit in on Team Flash.
 * Rip: And here I was, thinking you were roaming the Chinese countryside because your girlfriend needed more space. Look, I can do one better than that, mate. Most of my favorite prodigies conspired to have me put in prison.
 * Wally: Huh. What happened?
 * Rip: Well, I lied to Sara, in addition to accidentally aiding in the resurrection of the man who killed her sister. And Ava is angry at me for sending good agents to their deaths.
 * Wally: Sounds like you're a bit of a douche. No-no offence
 * Rip: No, none taken.


 * Amaya: Why did you become a pirate in the first place, eh?
 * Blackbeard: Well,...
 * Amaya: To let an admiral get the best of you? Or, to claim your destiny on the wide open sea? I don't know what's waitin' for us on the other side of this journey. But whatever it is, it beats cowering in some alleyway waitin' for your black beard to turn gray.
 * Blackbeard: I swore I'd never go back to that island... and I'm a man of me word. Fair winds, me hearties. [departs hastily]
 * Mick: [disbelieving] Blackbeard's... a coward.


 * [Amaya, still dressed as "Captain Jiwe", draws her sword on Nate.]
 * Nate: Amaya....
 * Amaya: You know, I learned something from hanging out with pirates. They always focus on the problem in front of them.
 * Nate: And what is that problem?
 * [Amaya uses the sword to cut a button off Nate's pirate shirt, then puts it right up to his throat and presses her body to his.]
 * Amaya: [seductively] Do you yield, sir?
 * Nate: [softly] Aye, Captain. [They start kissing.]
