Caity Lotz: Sara Lance

The Curse of the Earth Totem

Sara Lance

Sara Lance: Vodka martini, extra dirty, stirred.
Ava Sharpe: Stirred, not shaken?
Sara Lance: Shaken's for lightweights who like their booze watered down.
Ava Sharpe: And James Bond.
Sara Lance: James Bond never had to fight off a horde of Vikings or help me escape a demon realm.

Ray Palmer: We need to tell Sara we got to get to Detroit.
Mick Rory: Nope, she's off to Star City. She's been texting some guy. They're going on a date.
Ray Palmer: How do you know? What, are you looking at her phone?
Mick Rory: I look at everyone's phone. Helps pass the time.
Ray Palmer: Well... who's she going on a date with?
Amaya Jiwe: Obviously, it's Ava.
Mick Rory: Oh, that's hot.
Sara Lance: [entering] What's hot?
Ray Palmer: [changing the subject] Uh... the Fire totem. Hot, hot. Very hot and currently in Detroit, so what do you say we motor off to the Motor City?
Sara Lance: Right now? Um... I might sit this one out, because I have to do... business back home.
Mick Rory: I bet you do.

Ava Sharpe: You always seem so composed and cool, but you can't be all cool all the time. What's the most embarrassed you've ever been?
Sara Lance: That's an easy one. First time I ever had a weapon in my hand.
Ava Sharpe: Lian Yu?
Sara Lance: Nope. Starling City Elementary. I was Peter Pan in the school play. I got up on stage in the first scene, and I just totally froze. I couldn't remember any of my lines. It was like my mind just went blank.
Ava Sharpe: [laughing] What'd you do?
Sara Lance: Well, I broke out into a tap dance, of course, and then I ran off stage crying.

Sara Lance: Please tell me that the Waverider did not just crash into Star City.
Zari Tomaz: Star City? Is that where we are?
Sara Lance: Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
Ray Palmer: Well, the good news is the cannonball didn't hit the time core. And Nate made a beautiful landing.
Zari Tomaz: [dryly sarcastic] Yeah.
Nate Heywood: Thanks, big guy. So, Sara, how's the date going?

Sara Lance: I don't know who looks more ridiculous, you guys in your pirate britches or me in this... stupid dress.
Zari Tomaz: Definitely them.

Sara Lance: You know, this was never gonna work out.
Ava Sharpe: Really? What, because I'm a mature person who actually can communicate?
Sara Lance: Oh, really? Such a communicator! Like when you said you were going to the bathroom?
Ava Sharpe: What are you talking about?
Sara Lance: You think I didn't see Gary?
Ava Sharpe: Oh, my... Rip broke into the Time Bureau. I was coming back to the table to tell you.
Sara Lance: You know, this is pointless.
Ava Sharpe: Yeah, it is.
Sara Lance: We should have never tried to be normal. I'm not normal, all right? I'm never gonna be normal, and I'm not gonna be normal for anyone!
Ava Sharpe: I don't want you to be normal!
Sara Lance: [surprised] You don't?
Ava Sharpe: Hell no.
[they kiss passionately]

Sara Lance: Um... how was work?
Ava Sharpe: Work is... ugh, this is awful. You know what, I have an idea. Let's just try to be normal for one night. No Legends, no Bureau. What do you think?
[their server brings her drink]
Ava Sharpe: Thank you.
[to Sara again]
Ava Sharpe: I feel like relationships are complicated enough without time travel and supervillains, don't you?
Sara Lance: [raising her drink] Okay. Then here's to being two regular women on a completely normal first date.
Ava Sharpe: Completely normal.

Gideon: [leaving Sara a voicemail] It wasn't my idea, but the team has taken the Waverider on a joyride to the Bahamas, 1717, in a futile attempt to locate the missing Earth totem. Just thought you should know.
Ava Sharpe: [Sara hangs up, poker-faced] Is everything okay?
Sara Lance: Yeah, totally fine. Normal, in fact.

Ava Sharpe: My heart is pounding, my palms are sweaty, and I know that I only have a few round left in my pocket.
Sara Lance: So what'd you do?
Ava Sharpe: I grabbed a guy and used him as a human shield. And from that point on, no one would ever play paintball with me ever again.
Sara Lance: Well, it sounds like a hell of a fifteenth birthday party.

Sara Lance: When I left, you were headed for Detroit.
Ray Palmer: Yeah, it's a... it's... it's a really... it's a really long story.
Nate Heywood: Mick and Amaya are marooned in 1717, the Darhks have the Fire totem, and Blackbeard has the Earth totem.
Ray Palmer: I just thought it was gonna be a longer story.
Zari Tomaz: [entering] Thank god you're back. You look great. The engine room's a disaster. We're not going anywhere.

Nate Heywood: Sara!
Sara Lance: Yeah, what now?
Nate Heywood: We have another anachronism in 1717. The HMS Fortitude got into a naval battle with Blackbeard's ship off the coast of Grace Island.
Sara Lance: So?
Ray Palmer: So... that is a portrait of their admiral.
Sara Lance: Damien Darhk.

Sara Lance: I don't care if Zari has to duct tape the Waverider back together, we have to get it in the air.
Gideon: Well, I wouldn't advise returning to the Bermuda Triangle.
Nate Heywood: It's the Devil's Triangle, and Mick and Amaya are in danger.
Sara Lance: [a portal opens, and Ava enters] Ava! Hey!
Ava Sharpe: Don't "Hi, Ava" me. You stood me up, jerk.
Ray Palmer: Awkward.

Ava Sharpe: I gotta hand it to you, Ms. Lance, you take the phrase "dine and dash" to a whole new level.
Sara Lance: Look, the Waverider fell out of the sky. My team needed help.
Ava Sharpe: [derisive laugh] Why does that not surprise me?

Sara Lance: Hey, look, I'm sorry about bailing on you earlier. I should have been honest with you about what was going on with my team...
Ava Sharpe: No. No, no, no, no. I never should've put the kibosh on talking shop.
Sara Lance: You're right, it's your fault.
Ava Sharpe: [amused anger] You... oh, man... Besides, I'd rather fight pirates with you any day than sit in some stupid restaurant.
Sara Lance: Well, in that case, I was thinking Genghis Khan for our second date?
Ava Sharpe: Done. But only if I can call you Peter Pan.
Sara Lance: Don't.
Ava Sharpe: Ms... Ms...
Sara Lance: Don't.

Ava Sharpe: It was always Laurel and I. I was always the rebel, and she was always the good one. Why do you look like you already know this?
Ava Sharpe: Hm?
Sara Lance: What, you Google me?
Ava Sharpe: No. I may have read your file, back when you were a fugitive from the Bureau. And, look, I know that sounds stalkery, but in my defense, I did not see this coming.

Nate Heywood: Hey, I know it looks like a mess, but we really wanted you to have a nice night out.
Ray Palmer: Yeah, if you really like that mean Time Bureau lady, you shouldn't give up on her.
Sara Lance: Look, I'm not giving up on anything, other than maybe the idea that I'll ever have a normal life. Zari, get the ship back in fighting shape, 'cause until then... Rory and Amaya are on their own.
