- Lucy Preston: Connor Mason invented a time machine, and it's real. Time travel is real, and when I went on my first mission, I went to the Hindenburg in 1937, and when I left, I had a sister, and when I came back... she was gone.
- Carol Preston: Lucy, a sister?
- Lucy Preston: Yes, I have a sister. You have another daughter, and her name is Amy, and she is smart, and she is funny, and she has a degree in sociology, and a black belt in karate, which is super weird, and she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, but, oh my god, does she know how to live it, and she is my best friend.
- Carol Preston: Lucy, this person doesn't exist.
- Lucy Preston: Yes, this person does exist. If you could remember the way that we were as a family... if you woke up one day and I was suddenly gone, you would have to do the same thing.
- Carol Preston: Do what?
- Lucy Preston: I have to get her back. I have to get her back. And the problem is that in the timeline that Amy existed, you were sick. You were very... you were very sick. And I am gonna do everything that I can to save you, but time travel is super unpredictable, and I don't know if I'm gonna be able to, so I just want to tell you that I... I love you.
- Carol Preston: Oh, sweetheart. Lucy, you won't lose me. I promise. Rittenhouse would never allow it.
- Lucy Preston: Rittenhouse would never allow you to take the Lifeboat, to make me sick all to get back some girl that no one but you knows or even cares about.
- Lucy Preston: What are you talking about? How do you know the name Rittenhouse?
- Carol Preston: No, no, no, Just listen. Just listen. How do you think I met your father? We both come from good, strong Rittenhouse families. And that almost makes you royalty. Sweetheart, you've made me so proud. You've made everybody so proud. And you have such... such an incredible future. And as we speak, Rittenhouse has an operative on the Mothership, and soon they will control everything. The past and the present... the future. And together... we will change history.
