Jax Jackson quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

Nate

What happened?

Stein

[inside Jax's body] Yes. Pray tell, Doctor Palmer, what exactly happened to us, because it seems we are in a particularly precarious situation that I, for one, have no idea how to remedy.

Jax

[inside Stein's body] Why don't we just merge?

Stein

[inside Jax] Out of the question! Absolutely not. We have switched bodies. Who knows what else may have shifted. Merging now could cause a meltdown of insurmountable proportions. We just... we just can't afford the risk.

Nate

[still amused, pointing to Jax] You're the Professor, [points to Stein] and you're Jax. [starts laughing again] They switched.

Sara

[to herself] Must be Tuesday.

Amaya

What's going on?

Ray

Oh, we seem to have a bit of a Freaky Friday situation

Jax

[inside Stein] I'm Jax

Stein

[inside Jax] And I'm Martin.

Zari

Cool.

Stein

[preparing to go on a mission] Finally, a positive side effect to our predicament. I'm absolutely giddy at the notion of attending a 1930's Hollywood gala. Maybe I'll rub elbows with Clark Gable or dance with Ginger Rogers.

Jax

You have a little extra fun for me, Gramps. In this, I'm out. [sits down tiredly]

Stein

Why? What's wrong?

Jax

I'm wasted, man. My joints ache, I feel like I'm walking underwater, and I have to use the bathroom, like all the time.

Stein

I assure you, the moment we get Helen back to her proper time, we will fix this.

Jax

[looking at himself through Stein's eyes] Damn, I look good.

Jax

Man, can you believe Sara? She doesn't trust me around young Stein!

Nate

So you're saying you weren't planning on warning Martin about him dying?

Jax

Okay, fine. But c'mon man. Gray dies, and then all of a sudden his younger self gets displaced in time?

Nate

I know, it's crazy that we keep bumping into ourselves.

Jax

Yeah.

Nate

I mean, Ray and the baby Dominator, and Sir Stein and his killer 'stache?

Jax

Mick's dad. I mean, this can't just be a coincidence. [Amaya and Ray walk in] What if this is fate's way of saying we should step up? That we can actually improve things?

Amaya

Martin made his choice, Jax. We should be honoring his sacrifice, not trying to undo it.

Jax

Yeah, but it's Gray. I mean, how can we not tell him?

Ray

Because what if knowing about his death makes young Marty choose not to create the Firestorm matrix? Or meet you? Or step foot on the ship? He never would've wanted you to risk the present to save him in the past.

Jax

And how exactly do you know what he would've wanted, Ray? You weren't psychically connected to him for three years!

Sara

Okay, here's the deal. Back-up is not coming. The Time Bureau thinks the Darhks can't be defeated, and they're probably right. Leo asked us to talk about our feelings. Well, my feeling is that history needs us to stop the Darhks, but after losing Stein I can't lose anyone else. I need you guys to take the Waverider and leave.

Jax

Not without you.

Amaya

You can't face Darhk alone.

Sara

I have a plan.

Jax

The letter, you never read it.

Stein

That's because I already burned it.

Jax

What?

Stein

I... I was tempted, to be sure. I thought a lot about that date, November 28, 2017. I'll be 67 then, I'll have had adventures, watched my daughter grow up, and I'll have made a friend who was willing to risk far far too much for me.

Jax

No, I... I am trying to save you!

Stein

You need to let me go. We both know you shouldn't be here. I... I may have a life ahead of me, but to you I'm a ghost.

Jax

No, no, to me... [shakes his head].

Stein

I'm not gonna cheat death. Jefferson, none of us live forever. And yet, I clearly live a wonderful life with many chapters. And if I had one wish, it... it wouldn't be for me to prolong my life. It... would be for you to live yours and to have all the happiness you deserve.

Jax

Okay. Goodbye, Gray.

Stein

Goodbye, Jefferson.
