Quotes 

• Wyatt Logan : Trick or treat.

  Rufus Carlin : Trust me, no one is more worried than I am that I am not a real soldier.

  Wyatt Logan : Where did these getups even come from?

  Rufus Carlin : Civil War re-enactors club.

  Wyatt Logan : No wonder they smell like sweat and loneliness.

• Lucy Preston : What's changed in your lives?

  Wyatt Logan : Wh...?

  Lucy Preston : Since we got back from 1937, what has changed for you?

  Rufus Carlin : I just had an unsuccessful evening with a girl, so nothing, really.

  Wyatt Logan : Why? What's wrong?

  Lucy Preston : My sister's gone.

  Wyatt Logan : Gone? Gone where?

  Lucy Preston : Gone as in erased from history. Something that Flynn did or we did to the Hindenburg has changed my family. My mother isn't sick anymore, and my sister was never born.

• Wyatt Logan : So Booth walks into Ford's Theatre at exactly 10:00 a.m., huh? Not 9:56, 10:07?

  Lucy Preston : Hundreds of books have been written about Booth's movements today.

  Wyatt Logan : Let me guess. You read them all.

  Lucy Preston : And wrote one of them.

  Rufus Carlin : So why is Booth coming here now? What, is he scouting for tonight?

  Lucy Preston : No, he's an actor. He knew Ford's Theatre like the back of his hand, used it as his mailing address. Picks up his mail at exactly 10:00 a.m.

  Wyatt Logan : An actor.

  Lucy Preston : Pretty well known, too. But his brother Edwin was literally the most famous actor in America. John never quite measured up.

  Rufus Carlin : So this is like if Donnie Wahlberg assassinated the president?

  Lucy Preston : Pretty much, actually.

• Agent Denise Christopher : Flynn went back to April 14, 1865. Now, you need to get moving, and you need to eliminate Garcia Flynn. Are we clear?

  Lucy Preston : Yeah. Yeah, okay.

  Wyatt Logan : Wait, what's April 14, 1865?

  Lucy Preston : The assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

• Wyatt Logan : [having been shot by Flynn]  This would take fifteen minutes to patch back home. Here, I'm gonna die of sepsis.

  Lucy Preston : [Rufus enters]  You get it?

  Rufus Carlin : Yeah.

  Lucy Preston : Okay.

  Wyatt Logan : [groaning as he lies down on the bed]  Rufus, you're up. My knife's in the pocket. You gotta sterilize it over the lamp.

  Rufus Carlin : Um... what?

  Wyatt Logan : The bullet's still in there. It's just under the skin, but you gotta take it out.

  Rufus Carlin : Why me?

  Wyatt Logan : Because you work with your hands.

  Rufus Carlin : Yeah, on circuit boards.

  Wyatt Logan : Think of me as a circuit board, that's gonna die if you don't help.

  Lucy Preston : [Rufus turns to her]  Don't look at me. I faint.

• Rufus Carlin : [following Booth]  So we're a thousand percent sure we can't just shoot this asshat, save Lincoln here and now?

  Lucy Preston : Believe me, I want to. It might change things too much.

  Rufus Carlin : Like maybe there'll be a lot less lynchings.

  [Lucy sighs] 

  Rufus Carlin : I'm serious. I'm serious. I just met some black soldiers. We know Lincoln's death... it's gonna be a disaster for them, not to mention my great-great-grandparents.

  Wyatt Logan : [Lucy gives him a look]  Don't look at me. I'm with him.

  Lucy Preston : Look, I understand, but we don't know the consequences. It's too risky. It's our job to protect history.

  Rufus Carlin : Yeah, rich white guys' history. A lot of my history sucks.

• [Lewis Powell is about to enter Secretary Seward's house when suddenly Wyatt shows up and grabs him from the front] 

  Wyatt Logan : The tall man who gave you the gun, where is he?

  [Powell grabs Wyatt's arm and pushes him back] 

  Wyatt Logan : Why do I always get the big guys?

  [Powell shoves Wyatt right through the door which bursts open. Wyatt grabs his foot as he walks past. Powell swings his knife at Wyatt, but Wyatt grabs him, turns him around, and starts punching him repeatedly. Powell grabs Wyatt by the throat, turns him around and starts choking him. Wyatt reaches for his gun, grabs it, then shoots Powell in the chest, killing him] 

  William Seward : [he had been alerted by his daughter]  What's going on?

  Wyatt Logan : [laying on the floor and panting]  Mr. Secretary.
