Quotes[]
- Rip Hunter: Attention, all combatants. May I have your attention, please? There are casualties on the battlefield. Brave men on both sides who are in urgent need of medical attention. I know that the divisions between us run deep, that they may very well be insurmountable. But I implore both of our armies for this one moment to come together as allies and honor a ceasefire so that the injured may be removed from the field of battle. There may come a day when our courage fails us, when we forsake our friendships and break the bonds of fellowship. But today is not that day. And perhaps in showing our humanity, we might just save it.

- Leonard Snart: You actually care about these losers? Because I guarantee they don't care about you, Mick.
....
- Mick Rory: You hear them too, huh? The voices. What's the spear saying to you?
- Amaya Jiwe: It's not the spear. It's my mother. Her voice, at least. She's begging me to help our people. To keep our family and our legacy safe. She wants me to change my destiny.
- Mick Rory: Maybe the spear can do that for her.
- Amaya Jiwe: The chance to rewrite reality. Who wouldn't be tempted. What do your hear?
- Mick Rory: My parents.
- Amaya Jiwe: What are they saying?
- Mick Rory: "Don't play with fire, Mick."
....
- Sara Lance: It's not useless. I know ten different ways to kill somebody with this.
- Mick Rory: Not to mention, it's great for scratching those hard to reach places.
- Ray Palmer: Please don't tell me you used the Spear of Destiny as a back scratcher.
- Mick Rory: Who said anything about my back? [Sara drops the spear]
- Martin Stein: Well, as Mister Rory has demonstrated; in the wrong hands, this divine artifact can be put to truly horrific use.
