Amaya Jiwe quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

Amaya

[to Nate] He loved to sing. Henry. Your grandfather. He had a beautiful voice. During long convoys or stakeouts, he would serenade the team. He made it his personal mission to get me to sing along, but... he never succeeded. But when the chips were down, and all hope seemed lost, we could always count on Henry to lift our spirits. That's the kind of man your grandfather was.

Amaya Jiwe

Are there any other felons on your team?

Ray

No, no—

Mick

Yes. [Points at Sara] She's an assassin. But never convicted, right?

Ray

Well, I gotta admit, watching your team work like a well-oiled machine kinda makes me feel like I'm doing this whole hero thing all wrong.

Amaya

If it's any consolation, Dr. Palmer, you're not really a hero.

Mick

What are you staring at?

Amaya

I've figured you out.

Mick

Congratulations.

Amaya

You act like this selfish meathead, but secretly you're not so bad. You know, you might even have the makings of a hero.

Mick

That proves one thing. You don't know me.

Amaya

Perhaps not. [Throws a shuriken which embeds in Mick's sandwich on the table in front of him.]

Mick

Trying to kill me again?

Amaya

Trying to give you a present. In case you ever need proof you met an actual ninja.

Jax

According to this guy's mission papers, he was going to get in disguised as the help.

Amaya

You mean slave? [Jax looks at Amaya wordlessly] We could've helped her, we should have.

Jax

Look, I've been doing this time-travel thing for a little while now, and if I've learned one thing it's you never know what's gonna change history which can have massive consequences. You think this doesn't make me angry as well? But we have a job to do, and if we don't do it, we can make things a lot worse.

Jax

What the hell was that?

Amaya

Don't you know a breakout when you see one? [frees Jax from his chains]

Jax

Okay, good. Now let's free them [points at the chained-up slaves]

Amaya

I thought you said that if we didn't do our job, we could end up doing more harm than good.

Jax

Yeah, that's still a risk.

Amaya

So what's changed?

Jax

The way these people are being treated. That's the real aberration. I can see that now. This is the history that needs to be fixed.

Amaya

Women actually wore these things in the Eighties?

Nate

Shoulder pads? Yeah, they're supposed to make women more imposing. More, I dunno...

Amaya

Manly?

Nate

Yeah.

Amaya

I'd hope that by this decade, women wouldn't need to use clothing to compensate for their status. Surely by now, men and women are considered equals.

Nate

[smiling] Never lose that optimism.

Where's Rip?

Sara

He's MIA.

Damn. How the hell did you miscreants manage not to get yourselves killed without him?

Amaya

Miss Lance has been serving as captain.

But she's a lady. You're a lady, right?

Sara

You know I can take your life as easy I saved it.

Oh, fiery. Whoever breaks her is in for a wild ride.

Mick

Too bad this filly's into other fillies.

You don't say.

Mick

What's that?

Amaya

It's a little present. For keeping me alive, and for almost helping me get Rex's killer. Open it.

Amaya

I lifted it back at Capone's warehouse.

Mick

You stole it.

Amaya

[smiling] You were right. The bad guys really do have more fun. [kisses Mick's cheek] Not that you're a bad guy. [Winks at him, then leaves.]

Snart

I hope it was worth it. All this for a kiss on the cheek and a cheap bottle of booze. That speedster coulda killed you, Mick. What then?

Mick

I'll be dead like you.

Amaya

What are you doing up so late?

Nate

Just trying to figure out what the Legion of Doom wants with those two amulets.

Amaya

The "Legion of Doom"?

Nate

Darhk, Merlyn and the speedster. It's from a Hanna-Barbera cartoon I liked when I was a kid.

Amaya

Gideon thinks that the Legion's attack on Mr. Hunter's film set caused this George Lucas guy to quit movie making. As a result, he never made some movie about space battles or another one about an improbably handsome archaeologist.

Sara

And we care about this because...?

Gideon

In the unaltered timeline, Dr. Palmer sees Star Wars as a child and is inspired to become an inventor. Likewise, Dr. Heywood chooses to be a historian after seeing Indiana Jones instead of becoming a yoga instructor.

Nate

Oh, man.

Sara

Wait, so you're telling me that because some film geek drops out of school, my inventor and my historian are now essentially useless?

Amaya

I'm sorry about my friends. They're just --

Completely insane.

Amaya

Yeah. But what they say is true.

Oh. Oh, okay, what, what, that you guys are from the future, that you've somehow seen a bunch of movies that I haven't even made yet?

Amaya

Well, actually, I'm from the past, but that's beside the point. Look, George, I don't care about movies. But guys like them... they do. So before you get in that car and drive back to Modesto, just think about them, okay? Them and all the millions of other people that your stories will someday inspire. The future of the entire world is at stake. And you're our only hope.

Mick

Well, as much as Haircut's a pain in my ass, I'm not gonna let him fight alone. [starts to leave]

Sara

Sit down! That's an order.

Mick

[turns] What's an order?

Sara

Don't test me, Mick.

Mick

Don't threaten me, Blondie.

Stein

I can't believe I'm actually agreeing with Mr. Rory.

Sara

I said sit down!

Amaya

Stop! I've already lost one team. I'll be damned if my decision rips the Legends apart, too.

Sara

What are you saying?

Amaya

Listen to your gut, Captain. Don't abandon Ray. It may be sentimental, but the team should come before tactics.

Sara

All right. Let's do this.

Amaya

Let me guess: you're afraid of snakes.

Nate

And you're not?

Amaya

Animals only lash out only if they're provoked or desperate. Your slithery friend wasn't trying to hurt you. He just thought you were part of the tree.

Nate

So you commune with all animals?

Amaya

Mm-hmm.

Nate

You're like an attractive Doctor Dolittle.

Mick

You hear them, too, huh? The voices. What's the Spear saying to you?

Amaya

It's not the Spear. It's my mother. Her voice, at least. She's begging me to help our people. To keep our family and our legacy safe. She wants me to change my destiny.

Mick

Maybe the Spear can do that for her.

Amaya

The chance to rewrite reality. Who wouldn't be tempted? What do your hear?

Mick

My parents.

Amaya

What are they saying?

Mick

"Don't play with fire, Mick."
