Dr. Nate Heywood quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

Constantine

I need a word with you sorry lot. [throws down a large bundle and removes the covering, revealing a decapitated dragon's head] Now, whose brilliant idea was it to let an ancient demon out of his bloody cage?

Nate

[thumbing at Sara] Sara's.

Constantine

Well, you opened the door, love. And Mallus wasn't the only thing that got out.

Sara

Hey, Z. If you had to sleep with one, which one would it be?

Zari

How can you even tell them apart?

Ray

Well, Paul is the cute one, George is the quiet one, there's Ringo --

Mick

I never met an Englishman I haven't wanted to punch in the face.

Nate

Relax, Mick. If it wasn't for the British Invasion, there'd be no Rolling Stones, no Led Zep,.... no Black Sabbath.

Mick

Black Sabbath.

Nate

Nope.

Mick

Well, then, we ... we need to protect these mopheads from whatever's screwing up history.

Nate

That's right, Mick.

Nate

Well, I decided to extend my trip to 2018, and I may possibly be living a little bit at the Bureau.

Ava

You couldn't spring for a hotel?

Nate

Well, here's a fun fact about staying in the present: it costs money. And as a Legend, your salary is the... friendships you make along the way.

Ava

Got'cha.

Gary

Buckle up, Nate, it's Taco Monday.

Nate

Instead of Taco Tuesday?

Gary

Oh, we dare to defy.

Nate

Hey. It's our first mission together. Don't worry, if anything goes wrong in the field, I got'cha covered.

[amused] Yeah, I didn't get coldcocked by a girl.

Sara

Have you ever been... hit by a girl,... Hank?

No, ma'am

Sara

[gives Hank a meaningful look] Hmm. We should head out. [turns and walks off]

Nate

[referring to his father] And you thought a minotaur was bull-headed?

Sara

Ooo, mythology burrrn ! [she and Nate do a finger wiggle bump] It's good to have you back.

Ray

You know, it's still weird not having you around.

Nate

I'll always be right there, Big Guy, in that giant heart of yours. And I'll be at the Bureau, so you guys can literally stop by whenever you want. But, you know, before I go, I do want to say one thing. When I first stepped on to this ship, I was, you know, trying to get away from all my baggage back home, and I can't believe I'm gonna say this.... Hemingway once wrote "Can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another." And thanks to you guys, I don't have to run anymore. Being here with you all has turned me into the man I need to be, and, uh,... this place is special. And you never know when it's gonna be over. So, I say, Legends: [raises his beer bottle] Enjoy the ride while it lasts.

Sara

Hear, hear. [Everyone clinks beer bottles.]

Nate

All right, don't tell me you're falling for this, like, Neanderthal misogynistic dating advice. You're a modern man surfing the sexual spectrum. Just be cool and ask her out.

Gary

Or - and I'm, uh, just spitballing here - you can ask her out for me.

Nate

This isn't high school.

Gary

[getting his bearings] Oh. Sorry. "High school"'s a bit of a trigger word for me.

Nate

Wow. You are really broken.

Nate

Gideon, any messages while we were gone?

Gideon

You missed calls from Barry Allen, Oliver Queen and Kara Zor-El.

Ray

Sounds like the annual crossover.

Nate

Ugh. Yeah, that's gonna be a hard pass.

Is this your new girlfriend?

Nate

Um, yeah. This is Zari.

Zari. What a beautiful name for a beautiful woman with excellent child-bearing hips. [pats Zari's hips] Not to put a clock on it or anything, but... hmm, grandchildren would be so lovely.

Nate

I can't believe I got my Dad killed.

Ray

No. It was Hank's choice to make a deal with a demon. That is not your fault. You spending time with him inspired him. Made him happy. I don't think you doomed him. I think you saved him.

Zari

[nervous] You know how I... never let anyone know what I'm... really feeling?

Nate

[equally nervous] It's kinda your thing.

Zari

That's... how I feel, Nate.

Nate

I feel the same. [They kiss again.]

Zari

[regarding Nate's terrarium for the dragon egg] Wow, this is very, um, impressive.

Nate

Yeah, I found a book about dragons in Constantine's collection.

Zari

[reading] "The egg must incubate under the mother at her body temperature lest the egg expire." Yeah, I'm not gonna sit on that thing.

Nate

I figured as much. That's why I got a heat lamp.

Sara

Ava! You okay?

Ava

It's a long story, but Gary took over the Bureau. He "nip"-notized everyone.

Nate

Yeah, you're gonna have to explain that.

Mick

The germ turned.

Zari

Uh, guys, I feel that would've worked a little bit better with the real Trinity.

Sara

Yeah, well, I asked and they said [looks at Nate] "Hard pass".

Nate

[sheepish] We shoulda done the crossover.

Sara

Yeah.
