Mick Rory quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

Where's Rip?

Sara

He's MIA.

Damn. How the hell did you miscreants manage not to get yourselves killed without him?

Amaya

Miss Lance has been serving as captain.

But she's a lady. You're a lady, right?

Sara

You know I can take your life as easy I saved it.

Oh, fiery. Whoever breaks her is in for a wild ride.

Mick

Too bad this filly's into other fillies.

You don't say.

Mick

What's that?

Amaya

It's a little present. For keeping me alive, and for almost helping me get Rex's killer. Open it.

Amaya

I lifted it back at Capone's warehouse.

Mick

You stole it.

Amaya

[smiling] You were right. The bad guys really do have more fun. [kisses Mick's cheek] Not that you're a bad guy. [Winks at him, then leaves.]

Snart

I hope it was worth it. All this for a kiss on the cheek and a cheap bottle of booze. That speedster coulda killed you, Mick. What then?

Mick

I'll be dead like you.

Mick

I'm gonna find that skinny little Englishman and strangle him to death. You take the front, I'll take the rear.

If we face them now, they will surely kill us, private.

Mick

They're gonna kill us anyway.

If the British wanted us dead, they'd have done it already. When we reach camp, I will talk to their commanding officer and arrange a prisoner exchange. There are rules to war.

Mick

Yeah, kill or be killed.

British high command will treat us honorably, just as I treat prisoners with honor.

Mick

Now I know why Franklin's on the $100 bill. I'll bet you a hundred yous you're wrong.

Excuse me?

Mick

Uh, forget it! I hate Christmas!

I've been a soldier since I was twenty years old. But our cause is the cause of all men. To be treated equally, regardless of hereditary privilege. We must prove to the world that you don't need a title to be a gentleman. The British may be dishonorable, but I am not. By my death, I will prove to the Crown what it means to be an American.

Mick

You don't know the first thing about being an American. We're misfits. Outcasts. And we're proud of it. If they attack in formation, we pop 'em off from the trees. If they challenge you to a duel, you raid their camp at night. And if they're gonna hang you, then you fight dirty. And you never, ever, give up. That's the American way.

Mick

Well, as much as Haircut's a pain in my ass, I'm not gonna let him fight alone. [starts to leave]

Sara

Sit down! That's an order.

Mick

[turns] What's an order?

Sara

Don't test me, Mick.

Mick

Don't threaten me, Blondie.

Stein

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with Mr. Rory.

Sara

I said sit down!

Amaya

Stop! I've already lost one team. I'll be damned if my decision rips the Legends apart, too.

Sara

What are you saying?

Amaya

Listen to your gut, Captain. Don't abandon Ray. It may be sentimental, but the team should come before tactics.

Sara

All right. Let's do this.

Stein

Surely you must admit that it's not a superior intelligence, but rather the murky depths of your mind that proved vital.

Mick

[belches] Just admit it, my brain saved the day.

Stein

I will admit nothing of the sort.

Mick

Sit down, Professor.

Stein

His heart is beating way too fast.

Mick

I said "Sit".

Stein

I know you think I'm overreacting-

Mick

No, I don't. You care for the kid. I get it. But the way you're acting's not doing him any favors.

Stein

Oh, how should I act, Mr. Rory?! Please enlighten me with your vast emotional wisdom!

Mick

Well, you seem to forget I had a partner, too. The reason Snart and I got on so well was, well, we... we trusted one another. We were friends. We had each other's backs.

Stein

Perhaps you've chosen the wrong analogy. Your partner... is dead.

Mick

Yeah, well, I'm still on the ship.

Stein

Your point?

Mick

You're not exactly a spring chicken, Professor.

Stein

Your point!

Mick

My point is you're not gonna be around for too much longer. And Jax has to learn how to do this stuff himself. Stop treating him like a kid, and more like a partner. [pushes his beer bottle into Stein's hands] Partner.

Rip

I think I may have found a way to track Commander Heywood.

Stein

Don't worry, Mr. Hunter, we've already found him.

Rip

You did?

Jax

We're heading to Houston, 1970.

Mick

Yeah. Elvis at the Astrodome.

Nate

And then we're gonna rescue my grandfather.

Mick

Then Elvis.

Rip

We still need to figure out a way of contacting Commander Heywood without arousing suspicion. To that end, I suggest that we --

Sara

It's simple. We infiltrate NASA.

What the hell are you two playing at?

Jax

[over the radio] Okay. I got it. I cut the feed.

Stein

Oh, it's a... It's a British tradition, sir.

Flight! I had radio contact for a second, then I lost it again.

Mick

Nice voice, Professor.

Stein

Thank you very much.

Mick

You hear them, too, huh? The voices. What's the Spear saying to you?

Amaya

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

Maybe the Spear can do that for her.

Amaya

The chance to rewrite reality. Who wouldn't be tempted? What do your hear?

Mick

My parents.

Amaya

What are they saying?

Mick

"Don't play with fire, Mick."

Sara

Now remember, you guys are going in there without your powers.

Ray

Don't worry. I know that place like the back of my hand.

Amaya

What about Mick?

Sara

Mick's staying here. We can't trust him. [to Mick] Not after what you've done.

Mick

After what I've done? If it wasn't for me, you'd all be walking around like sheep.

Sara

If it wasn't for you, we never would've been turned into sheep in the first place. We trusted you, Mick. We can't afford to make that mistake again.

Snart

Nice work, Mick. Now hand it over.

Ray

Mick, no. You already gave it to them once. You know what happened.

That was Thawne. This time will be different, big boy.

Jax

Don't do this, Mick.

Amaya

Mick. I don't care what anyone else thinks. I still believe in you.

Snart

ENOUGH! Mick... hand it over. Like a good boy.

Mick

You mean "a good dog". That's all I am to you. An attack dog.

Snart

Now that's not true. Sure, we both know you're not the sharpest tool in the shed, but... that's why we're partners. Remember?

Mick

You're right. I'm not a genius. [tosses the Spear in front of Amaya] But I'm no one's dog, Leonard. Not anymore.

What the hell are you staring at?

Mick

Just imagining what you'd look like without teeth.

Snart

Should've done this in France, Mick. Could've saved us both a lot of time.

Mick

I didn't bring you here to kill you, Leonard.

Snart

So what are we doing here?

Mick

This is where Thawne recruited you for the Legion. I'm gonna wipe your memory and put you on the right path.

Snart

You mean the path where I join up with some Brit twit and die trying to save the world.

Mick

No. You die trying to save your friends.

Snart

Still a death sentence.

Mick

You know what your punishment is, Leonard? You end up being a better man, and so do I.

Snart

"Better"? You mean "softer".

Mick

No. I mean "better". [wipes Snart's memory]

Sara

Mick, you wanna do the honors, plot a course? You earned it.

Mick

Gideon, set a course for Aruba.

Gideon

Roger that, Mr. Rory. Setting a course for Aruba, the year 2017.

Amaya

What was that?

Stein

This is what happens when you put Mr. Rory in charge of navigation.

Gideon

In fact, it was another time-storm. It seems the disruption you created in 1916 was just the start.

Ray

We've been ejected out of the temporal zone!

Sara

Get ready for a hard landing.

Jax

Oh, come on! Can we please go five minutes without crashing the Waverider?

Sara

Is everyone okay?

Mick

This ain't Aruba.

Gideon

No. This is Los Angeles 2017.

Ray

Ooooh boy.

Sara

Guys... I think we broke time.
