-->'''Rufus:''' So the ''back'' of the bus was great!

-->'''McCarthy:''' What's so funny?

* While interrogating Wyatt, Joe McCarthy launches into a rant about "eliminating the cancer" of Communism while beginning to light a cigarette. Wyatt finds this amusing.

-->''(McCarthy puts the cigarette away)''

* Wyatt and Lucy have discovered that [[spoiler:her grandfather]] is gay upon following him to a 1950s clandestine gay bar.

-->'''Wyatt:''' That guy's staring at me like I'm a piece of meat.
-->'''Lucy:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Can't imagine how that feels.]]

-->'''Hamer ''': He says your name is Rufus.
-->'''Rufus''': ''[pulls out driver's license]'' What does this say?
-->'''Hamer''': ''[camera cuts to Hamer walking out of the interrogation room towards Flynn]'' His license says he's Wesley Snipes?
-->'''Flynn''': He is not Wesley Snipes!

* Rufus is appalled at the ancient 1960s technology he has to deal with, but as he's standing next to NASA's premier mathematician and computer programmer, Katherine Johnson (a black woman who he respects greatly), he has to edit his terms a little bit:

* In a conversation with Rufus, he HistoricalDomainCharacter [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophia_Hayden Sophia Hayden]] (an architect and MIT's first female graduate) tells tells him that she studied at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Rufus responds that he's also an MIT graduate. After being puzzled for a moment, Hayden enthusiastically concludes that Rufus must be [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Robinson_Taylor Robert Robinson Taylor]] (an architect and MIT's first African-American graduate).

[[AC:The Capture Of Benedict Arnold]]

* Rufus is appalled at the ancient 1960s technology he has to deal with, but as he's standing next to NASA's premier mathematician and computer programmer, Katherine Johnson (a black woman), he has to edit his terms a little bit:

** Even better is Fleming hearing it and having a look as if thinking "huh...that's not a bad title..."

-->'''Rufus''': What a piece of... ''[looks aside to Katherine]'' state-of-the-art machinery.

* Also, given the immense strides in computing power and storage over fifty years, it's very amusing when Katherine proudly proclaims that the mainframe has ''two megabytes'' of memory.

-->'''Lucy''': This is Dr. Dre, I'm Nurse Jackie and we're from General Hospital.

* The manner in which Lucy "accidentally" spills water on General Grant, trying to get him out of the booth for the assassination time. Then the "Oh, Crap!" look on her face when he returns early.

* The "oh crap" look on Lucy's face and her weak little "Hello" on meeting her alt!fiancé.

-->'''Fleming''': I stand corrected.

** Logan has the most goofy grin imaginable when he realizes there's a "new" Bond film for him to watch. Not only is it a new Bond movie, according to Mason, it's ''Connery's'' best. ''Words cannot express the awesomeness this implies''. Plus, [[AscendedFanboy he, Rufus]], and Lucy are characters in it!
