Guest Starring John Noble


 * Rip: I must say, it has been such an honor, Barack.
 * Young Barack Obama: Well, I go by "Barry".
 * Sara: I really like "Barack".
 * Young Obama: Well, "Barack" is what is says on my birth certificate.
 * Sara: Yeah, you might want to hold on to that.


 * Darhk: I assure you this is completely unnecessary. I come, as they say, in peace.
 * Sara: And I, as they say, think you're full of crap.
 * Darhk: I'm a changed man, Sara.
 * Sara: The only change I want to see you go through is from alive to dead.


 * Ray: [knocking on a trailer in 1999] Mr. Noble? We have some last-minute rewrites.
 * John Noble: [comes out of the trailer made up as Denethor ] Tell Peter Jackson "No more chickens", huh? I ate four this morning. So what's up, mate?
 * Ray: [very nervous] Yeah, so the, uh, rewrites are from Peter, and he'd like me to run the lines with you.
 * Noble: You're kidding. [reads the script] Okay. Uh, let's see: "Nora, you must heed my command."
 * Ray: That's good, that's good.
 * Noble: Who's Nora?
 * Ray: Nora. Nora, she's a new character that, um,... They wanted to beef up the female presence in the film.
 * Noble: You can't do that, mate. It's Tolkien, Lord of the Rings.
 * Ray: It's a studio note.
 * Noble: Oh, studio note. Very good note, yeah.


 * Darhk: Nora's gone. It's just Mallus now. You must be enjoying this, seeing your nemesis with a broken heart.
 * Sara: I didn't know you had a heart to break. Where was it the night you murdered my sister?
 * Darhk: Look, what I did was unforgivable. But back then, I hadn't loved anyone to understand the pain that I caused. Not that it's any comfort, but if I could take it all back, I would.
 * Sara: We all have regrets. But we can't undo the things that we've done.
 * Darhk: True. But even the worst of us can be made whole again. You, for example. League to Legend, to killer to captain. That's not a bad makeover, is it?
 * Sara: It's not good enough.
 * Darhk: Why? Because you put on the Death totem and almost killed your entire team?
 * Sara: Yes.
 * Darhk: But you didn't, did you? And you know why? Same reason I'm spilling my guts to a woman who's imagined my death a thousand times over.
 * Sara: More like ten thousand.
 * Darhk: LOVE, Sara! 'Cause without it, people like us, we're left alone with the darkness. That's not good for anyone, is it?


 * Sara: This plan can work, and you know it. You just need to trust your gut.
 * Ava: My gut? You mean the one that was manufactured to factory settings? It's the same gut that eleven other Avas used and got killed?
 * Sara: Ava, please, just trust me.
 * Ava: You don't understand. This plan breaks every rule in every book, and all I have right now are the rules, okay?
 * Sara: You have me. [kisses Ava passionately]
 * Ava: What are you doing?
 * Sara: I'm admitting something that could save us both. I love you.
 * Ava: There is no me to love. [walks away and back to the Time Bureau]
