Jax Jackson quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

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.

Jax

What's your favorite candy?

Rip

Jelly beans. Why?

Jax

A little transmutation trick me and Gray have been working on.

Rip

[Walks over to eat a jelly bean] Both delicious and impressive, Mr. Jackson.

Amaya

Now the Spear of Destiny is in the hand of not just one, but four psychopaths.

Stein

Don't forget Mr. Rory.

Jax

That's right. We trusted him and he screwed us over.

Ray

Did we? Trust him? I admit it, we never really did, and he picked up on it.

Rip

Apparently, Mr. Rory is not entirely stupid.

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.

Ray

[upon seeing his Atom suit] Ah. Yes. Oh, I have missed you. [kisses the suit's helmet]

Jax

Really, dude?

Ray

[to the suit] I will never, ever leave you again.

Jax

Rip, we found the suit. You need to close in on our position before I have to watch Ray do any more weird stuff.

Rip

On route.

Ray

Weird stuff?

Jax

Yeah. You got issues, dude.

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.

Jax

Come on, Gray. A chance to meet Julius Caesar and fix history. We have a time ship. We can get you home in time for dessert.

Stein

That's what I told Clarissa the last time I left.

Ray

And when you came home, you had a surprise daughter.

Stein

Your point?

Nate

The point is, sometimes we screw things up for the better.

Sara

That's a good motto. We should use that.

Ray

Uh, shouldn't we help her?

Nate

It's him I'm worried about.

Jax

Ye-ah, I'd say our work here is done.

Stein

And to quote the great conqueror himself: "We came, we saw,...

[together] We kicked Caesar's ass! [high five]

Jax

You know, I've taken these engines apart so many times, feels like this ship is a... part of me.

Stein

It is a part of you, that you can take on whatever adventure life offers you next.

Jax

[scoffs] What adventure could be better than this one? I mean, I got to be a superhero who travelled through time changing history.

Stein

Yes, I know.

Jax

Look, I know you wanna do the whole "Grandad" thing. Smoke a pipe by the fire. But I got a whole lotta life left, and I have no idea how to fill it.

Stein

Jefferson, you are, hands down, the most gifted, capable, driven young man I've ever known. You can do anything you want to do.

Jax

Well, that's all well and good, but what I want to do is be half of a nuclear-powered superhero. And I can't do that if you don't want to.

Sara

Perfect. We're bringing the circus to the circus

Ray

This is a classic slice of Americana. The air is thick with the smell of popcorn, candy and wonder.

Mick

If I see a clown, I'm outta here.

Jax

What, you afraid of clowns?

Mick

No. I... just don't like their stupid faces and funny shoes and... razor-sharp teeth.

Sara

We got a new problem. Rip has been hiding something from us. There's a greater evil coming. Something even the Time Bureau is afraid of.

Jax

[amused] What could be worse than an immortal Egyptian demigod?

Stein

[also amused] Or an evil speedster?

Ray

[shaking his hands in mock fear] I'm afraid of the Time Boogeyman.

Nate

[laughing] I'm literally crying.

Ray

What makes a hero? Is it powers? Strength? Bravery? No. A hero is forged by his or her relationships, our bonds of brotherhood or sisterhood. That is why I'm taking you all through the ten-step team-building process I perfected at Palmer Tech. Step 1, part 1: icebreakers.

Jax

Dude, we've been stuck on a ship that has one bathroom. I think we know each other well enough.

Stein

And your timing couldn't be worse, given that we're being chased by a water-wielding assassin and the Time Bureau.

Ray

We need to grow as a team. First up is "Two Truths and a Lie". [Sara shakes her head] It's gonna be fun.

Mick

Lie.

Ray

I haven't started yet. Look, I know you guys probably think this is lame–

Sara

Truth.

Ray

But we have a new crew member, and it is important for Zari to bond with us. Not only as team members, but as individuals.

Zari

Yeah, well, I'm no hero and I'm not a member of any team. Besides, I already have you all figured out. The old guy wants to be anywhere but on this ship. [Walks by Amaya and Nate] These two have some "will they, won't they" thing going on. [Nate nods]. Rory's been drunk since breakfast. [Mick tips his beer at her] Jax is wondering if I'm single. And your ship's still mad at me for doing a teeny hack on her sub-systems. Now, what's this about one bathroom?

Mick

Going somewhere, Professor?

Stein

I don't have time to explain. I'm taking the jump-ship, whether you like it or not.

Jax

Yo, Mick. Come on, man, I just souped this baby up.

Stein

Jefferson, please, I need you to help me get out of 1988.

Jax

Help you? After you've been lying to me? You've been sneaking out on us, you erased the jump logs. You're working with the Time Bureau!

Stein

What? Never!

Mick

What's in your back pocket, Professor?

Stein

It's a trans-temporal communicator.

Jax

So you can talk to your little Time Bureau friends.

Stein

No, so I can talk to my– [the communicator beeps and Lily's face comes on it]

Hey, Dad!

Stein

–my daughter.

[realises Jax and Mick are in the room] Oh, and all you guys.

Jax

Hey, Lily.

Dad, I think it's time. We're heading to the hospital now. You're gonna be here, right?

Stein

How can I miss the birth of my first grandchild?

Good, 'cause... this baby's coming. Okay, I will see you there. Bye, Dad. [disconnects]

Stein

I took the jump-ship back to 2017 so I could give Lily the other communicator.

Jax

And you wiped the jump logs. Why?

Stein

Because I wanted you to know that I'm committed to you, and to the team! I made the decision to stay, and I needed you to know that I meant it. Clearly, my subterfuge has robbed me of the chance to be at the birth of my grandchild.

Mick

No! We can take the Waverider.

Stein

What about the rest of the team?

Jax

I'm sure they'll manage.

Stein

You're serious.

Jax

Gray! It's your first grandkid! Why would you think I'd want you to miss that? C'mon, man, let's go!

Stein

[holding his grandchild] I'm so glad I could be here to welcome you into this world. I'm sure it's overwhelming, and I'm sorry to say it doesn't really ever go away. But this place, it's also full of wonders. Wonders that I'm discovering even now. [Jax walks up] Hey.

Jax

You know, I'm sorry, man. You almost missed this because of me, because I didn't trust you on–

Stein

No, I should've been... I should've been honest with you from the beginning. You're as much a part of this family as Lily and Clarissa, and now this little guy, Ronnie. It's perfect that you're here with us, right now.

Ray

You sure you want do this? Break up Firestorm?

Jax

Well, I'm sure Gray wants off the ship, and I'm sure that can't happen if we're still bonded with each other, so...

Ray

Yeah, but your bond isn't just physical. You guys have been psychically bonded for over three years.

Jax

Yeah, and it's been no picnic, let me tell you. Last time I got laid, afterward Gray said to me: "Well done, Jefferson". I mean...

Ray

I could've done without knowing that.
