Rip Hunter quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

Rip

Now, you may not believe in fate, Raymond, but I certainly do. And perhaps it was fate that compelled me to bring you seven together, so we can change this future once and for all.

Rip

Attention, all combatants. May I have your attention, please? There are casualties on the battlefield. Brave men on both sides who are in urgent need of medical attention. I know that the divisions between us run deep, that they may very well be insurmountable. But I implore both of our armies for this one moment to come together as allies and honor a ceasefire, so that the injured may be removed from the field of battle. There may come a day when our courage fails us, when we forsake our friendships and break the bonds of fellowship. But today is not that day. And perhaps in showing our humanity, we might just save it.

Leonard Snart

You got the wrong guy, hero ain't on my resume.

Mick Rory

Or mine.

Rip Hunter

I know it's difficult for you to fathom, but where - when I'm from, the year 2166, you and everyone on this roof aren't just considered heroes... You're legends.

Ray Palmer

Legends?

Dr. Martin Stein

I, um, I hate to nitpick, but doesn't a legend have to be dead?

Yeah, see, uh, that's deal breaker for me, so I'm gonna pass.

Rip

Dr. Palmer, please tell me...

Ray

I didn't leave my exosuit on the ship? Okay, but I'd be lying.

Rip

Actually, I'm in charge, in case any of you have forgotten.

Snart

No, I remember. I just don't care.

Rip

We can't go back and change events in which we participated. Time would fold in on itself, creating a temporal vortex.

Ray

Which sounds way cooler than it is.

Mick

What about the rest of us? Do we just sit?

Rip

Capital idea, Mr. Rory. You're not nearly as thick as most people say.

Mick

Thick... does that mean stupid?

Rip

What the hell happened back there?

Sara

You know I'm a killer. That's why you put me in your little group.

Rip

I didn't witness just a killer at work, Sara. What I saw was an animal.

Sara

You are the last person on this ship to judge anyone!

Rip

This is not judgement, Sara. It is concern.

Sara

I thought you knew how I was resurrected and what it did to me.

Rip

I know you were restored by something called the Lazarus Pit.

Sara

Well, apparently there's a downside to being brought back to life. My friend, Thea, calls it a blood lust, and I think that's being too generous, and so is calling me an animal. I'm a monster.

Mick

It's not money, it's not jewels, it's not a valuable artefact. You're just lucky I'd steal anything right about now.

Rip

As I suspected.

Snart

We'll get your gizmo, you just get this bucket flying again.

Sara

I'm coming with.

Rip

No, no you are not. You're too emotionally connected to this city. We've been over this!

Sara

I'm over you. You got us on a mission to change the timeline for yourself, and you won't even let us look at our futures? Now, I know this city better than anyone else and you're gonna need me out there. So, either I'm coming with, or we can find out if the Time Masters are as good at teaching people to fight as the League of Assassins.

Stein

I'm having the strangest sensation. It's like I'm ten years old again.

Mick

You do a lot of space travel as a kid, Professor?

Stein

Only in my dreams, after I read my first issue of "Rick Starr: Space Ranger."

Jax

Space Ranger Stein? Yeah, I don't see it.

Stein

I wanted to travel through space, surviving only by my wits and laser guns. I even built a rocket out of cardboard boxes.

Rip

What stopped you?

Stein

NASA has rather strict guidelines regarding near-sightedness.

Jax

And smoking weed.

Rip

I'm not mad at you! I was going to resign!

I know, and I couldn't let you. This has always been your dream!

Rip

Yes, but you are so much better at this than me. I can't understand why you would give all that up.

It's funny because you're the one who made me realize that I could never be a Time Master. I found something with you, something wonderful. I found love, that thing that the Time Masters always taught us to hide from. But they were wrong Rip! Love's no threat, it's beautiful and powerful and once you know it, love changes everything. Like it changed me. And that's why I have to resign, because I could never belong to something which turns its back on the truth.

Rip

Suddenly my chosen profession seems so terribly unimportant.

No! The world needs the Time Masters, and the Time Masters most assuredly need Rip Hunter. My only wish is that one day, when you're off traveling space and time, you'll realize what I have and understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. I hope you'll think of me when that day comes.

Rip

I will. Because I'll be with you.

Rip

I'm sorry, Mr. Palmer. I'm unfamiliar with the term "man cave."

Ray

Oh, it's a room in a basement where a dude goes to be alone or watch football. In Savage's case, it's to kill people.

Rip

He's [Chronos] time-jumping the ship.

Snart

The ladies will be left in 1958?

Jax

What about Ray?

Snart

Like I said.

Rip

Gideon, start the regeneration process.

Snart

What do you mean "regeneration"?

Rip

I took genetic samples from each of you at the start of our voyage for this exact eventuality.

Snart

Why am I only hearing about this now?

Rip

Because none of you had lost a limb yet.

Jax

Man, I hate wool.

Rip

Be grateful, Mr. Jackson. Those living outside the Kasnian Conglomerate are dressed in rags.

Sara

Conglomerate?

Rip

Yes, in the year 2080, governments began to give way to corporations.

Jax

More like 2008.
