Echo Kellum: Curtis Holt

Quotes 

• John Diggle : So... you're you.

  Curtis Holt : And you're you.

  John Diggle : An immortal Egyptian, aliens, parallel earth Nazis... I have no idea why I'm even surprised at this point.

  Curtis Holt : I'm still trying to figure out if this is more like "Freaky Friday" or "Quantum Leap."

  Barry Allen : No. If this were like "Quantum Leap," I'd only look like myself in the mirror.

  Curtis Holt : Yep. You're definitely not Oliver Queen.

• Felicity Smoak : Pattern recognition algo is locked and loaded.

  Curtis Holt : Bringing it online now.

  Felicity Smoak : You realize that this may not work, right? Like, there may not be a pattern to recognize.

  Curtis Holt : Is there a suggestion bound within that dose of pessimism?

  Felicity Smoak : Does the energy discharge of the lightning look familiar to you?

  Curtis Holt : The quantum amplitude is consistent with a dimensional breach.

  Felicity Smoak : Exactly. We're gonna need Cisco's help on this one.

  Cisco Ramon : [enters with Diggle and Caitlin]  I've been summoned!

  Curtis Holt : Okay, that was a disturbingly coincidental entrance.

• Curtis Holt : I know this sounds nuts and completely unscientific, but I think that freaking lightning is following us.

  John Diggle : Focus, Curtis.

  Curtis Holt : This is me focusing. These atmospheric anomalies are playing all kinds of hell on my equipment. Plus, you don't want that lightning to hit when you're engaging Deathstroke's son.

  [the agents are knocked back by a lightning strike; as the smoke settles, Kane Wolfman stands before them] 

  Curtis Holt : I just had to say it.

• Supergirl : We think that the red skies and these lightning strikes have to be related to whatever happened to Barry and Oliver somehow.

  Oliver Queen : We need you to solve the "somehow" while we're in Gotham.

  Curtis Holt : No problem. I mean, A.R.G.U.S. has all the best analytic toys, but what we really need is a pattern recognition algorithm, and unfortunately, Felicity isn't...

  Oliver Queen : I called Felicity.

  John Diggle : Wait, wait. You called Felicity?

  Oliver Queen : Yeah.

  John Diggle : Okay. Right. Well, I guess that makes sense because technically, you are her husband. I'm confused.

• Cisco Ramon : We've been getting the same red skies and freaky lightning in Central City, and I'll tell you this much:

  [laughing] 

  Cisco Ramon : It wasn't Speed Force.

  Felicity Smoak : Wait, wait, hold up. "We've been"? "Wasn't"? As in past tense?

  Caitlin Snow : Interestingly, the atmospheric phenomenon ceased the moment Barry and Oliver left Central City.

  Cisco Ramon : It's like it packed up its bags and followed them here. That's why we came.

  Caitlin Snow : The phenomenon has to be related to Barry and Oliver's...

  John Diggle : [shushing her]  Caitlin. Caitlin, just...

  Caitlin Snow : ...body swap?

  Curtis Holt : [under his breath]  Don't... don't say it.

  Felicity Smoak : I'm sorry, body... body what?

  Cisco Ramon : [to Dig]  You, uh... you didn't tell her?

  Felicity Smoak : Again, tell me what?

• Caitlin Snow : You didn't tell her?

  Curtis Holt : Oliver, the actual Oliver, thought he had enough problems with Felicity already.

  Cisco Ramon : Oh, and you didn't think to loop us in on the fact that you were keeping the "Freaky Friday" situation on the hush?

  Curtis Holt : I was thinking it was more like "Quantum Leap".

  Cisco Ramon : Well, if this were like "Quantum Leap", they'd only look like themselves when they see themselves in the mirror, so...

  Curtis Holt : [talking over each other]  Well, it depends on what type of "Quantum Leap" you're talking about. There's a sequel.

  John Diggle : [breaking the argument up]  Shouldn't we concentrate on where this lightning came from?

• Felicity Smoak : Oh, look who finally came back.

  Curtis Holt : With what looks like a fairly infamous book.

  Caitlin Snow : A book with a cryptographic lock on it.

  Oliver Queen : Can you get to work on opening it, please?

  John Diggle : We don't have a lot of time.

  Felicity Smoak : Okay. Geek squad, form up on me.

• Caitlin Snow : Not only is the lock cryptographic...

  Curtis Holt : It's metaphysical. The readings I'm getting off this thing are nuts, and yes, that's a technical term.
