Rip Hunter quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

Rip

Gideon.

Gideon

Yes, Captain?

Rip

I'm really sorry for everything I put you through.

Gideon

Forcing me to disable the ship? Or our kiss?

Rip

How did you...

Gideon

If it's the latter,... I rather enjoyed it.

Rip

[subdued] As did I, Gideon. As did I.

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.

Sara

Drinking alone?

Rip

Only as metaphor.

Sara

[pouring herself a drink] You in here feeling sorry for yourself?

Rip

Oh, no. I've got more than one way of feeling sorry for myself, surely.

Sara

Thanks for backing my play earlier.

Rip

I wasn't... entirely supportive on this mission.

Sara

Indeed. But still... must be hard, coming back to your ship and finding someone else in charge.

Rip

No. That was the easy part. The hard adjustment was seeing that you are a much better captain than I ever was.

Sara

So that's why you're in here feeling sorry for yourself.

Rip

I'm in here trying to figure out what my place is if I'm not this team's captain.

Sara

So you're saying you don't fit in. You're an outcast. A misfit.

Rip

Let's assume.

Sara

Sounds to me like you're a Legend.

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.

Sara

So, it looks like our historians have made a discovery.

According to this map, the blood of Christ is hidden right smack in the middle of no-man's land.

Rip

Great, right at the center of the bloodiest battle in human history.

Stein

Even if we were to make it through the terrain unscathed, there's still the issue of the blood's precise location.

Nate

That's the good news. Just as the Spear acted as a divining rod for its pieces, it glows when it's close to Jesus' blood.

Stein

But one cannot simply walk into the middle of a war zone.

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.

Rip

Gideon... I've finally perfected my fondant bows. [places a fondant bow on top of an elaborately decorated three-tiered cake] What do you think?

Gideon

Your technique has vastly improved over the last year, Captain. These cakes are so much more creative than your biscuits.

Rip

Credit where credit is due, Gideon. Your idea of adding more gelatin to the mixture was pivotal.

Gideon

Well done. The best one yet, in my humble opinion.

Rip

It's a shame that you're the only one here to appreciate it.

Gideon

I'm sure your team would be just as impressed.

Rip

Assuming that they're all still alive.

Gideon

Perhaps you should resume your efforts to send a message out.

Rip

[shouting] What's the POINT, Gideon? The Legion have the Spear of Destiny! They're like gods now! There's no point in fighting. Not any more. [shoves the cake off onto the floor]

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

Well, like Nate said, sometimes we screw things up for the better.

Rip

I fail to see how that's true in this case.

Mick

It's our new motto.

Rip

New motto? Right, does that mean you plan to continue swashbuckling your way through history?

Sara

With the Time Bureau's permission, of course.

Rip

And if I deny you permission?

Sara

We'll do it anyways.

Rip

Captain Lance, need I remind you we are no longer just fixing ordinary anachronisms here? Mallus is the only game that matters.

Sara

No, it's your game. We have to stop Damien Darhk from coming back to life.

Rip

And we will. But from all indications, Mallus is coming here to recruit Darhk. If we destroy Darhk's body, we destroy any chance of apprehending Mallus at the resurrection ceremony.

Nate

If Sara says kill Darhk, or re-kill Darhk, or prop him up in a convertible like Weekend at Bernie's, that's what we do, because she's the captain.

Rip

I know you all want to destroy Darhk once and for all. You're just gonna have to be patient.

Rip

Your so-called master, where is he?

Mallus is everywhere and nowhere, refracted in every moment of time. He is dead, he is risen, and he will come again.

Rip

Right, well, that's very cryptic, but I demand to speak to him.

Oh, well, very well. [gets possessed by Mallus].

[via Eleanor] Director Hunter. A pleasure to meet you.

Rip

Oh, I'm not here to speak to your puppet. I think it's about time you and I met face-to-face.

[via Eleanor] [laughs] You cannot look upon my true form and live. While you are hopelessly mortal, I am a god!

You're too late.

It's good to be back. [looks at his wrist] Who stole my watch?

Sara

We need to talk.

Rip

By now, you know me better than to expect an apology.

Sara

Agents are dead because of you.

Rip

They understood the risks of their profession. [pause as they look at each other] But we learned so much from the events of last night. Next time–

Sara

There won't be a next time, Rip. You show up out of nowhere, practically begging for our help, and then you betray us. You've gone rogue from every organization that you've ever been a part of. Because you don't trust anyone. And I don't know how I could've ever trusted you.

Rip

But Sara, I need you with me now more than ever.

Sara

Do you remember when you told me you had nothing left to teach me? I guess you had one final lesson. [Time Bureau agents enter the Waverider through a portal] How to be a cold son-of-a-bitch.

Rip

Mmmm. God! That Cisco's a ruddy genius.

[sighs] He is. So's Barry, Caitlin and Wells. Wait, maybe that's why I never fit in on Team Flash.

Rip

And here I was, thinking you were roaming the Chinese countryside because your girlfriend needed more space. Look, I can do one better than that, mate. Most of my favorite prodigies conspired to have me put in prison.

Wally

Huh. What happened?

Rip

Well, I lied to Sara, in addition to accidentally aiding in the resurrection of the man who killed her sister. And Ava is angry at me for sending good agents to their deaths.

Wally

Sounds like you're a bit of a douche. No-no offence

Rip

No, none taken.

Sara

Look, you didn't tell us you were buying us time with your life.

Rip

Listen carefully. This gambit will not kill Mallus, it will only delay him long enough for you to make an escape.

Sara

There has to be another way.

Rip

No. There isn't. It's all right, Sara. I should very much like to see my wife and son again. I will miss you, Captain Lance. You and the rest of the Legends. My one hope is that you all live up to that name.
