Eobard Thawne quotes from Legends of Tomorrow

What's to keep Hunter's crew from finding the rest of the Spear before Merlyn finishes unscrambling Hunter's brain?

Eobard Thawne

The inner workings of the medallion are lost to history. Trying to get it to reveal its secrets will prove difficult, plus we have an additional advantage over them.

Enlighten me.

Thawne

They're idiots.

Thawne

Menial labor without super-speed is really quite tedious. Then again, I've missed working with a fellow scientist. Cisco and Caitlin and I, as you know, worked together for some time and... I miss the camaraderie.

Ray

Legion of Doom doesn't have karaoke Fridays?

Thawne

I know it's easier for you to think of me as a monster, but, um... I've met some of history's monsters, Raymond, and believe me, I'm not one of them.

Ray

You killed Barry's mother. Twice. Rex Tyler. Brainwashed Rip into killing Doctor Mid-Nite.

Thawne

Time travel has a way of revealing the truth to you. And you and I have more in common than you think.

Ray

Pass me the pliers.

Thawne

[passing the pliers] We're both scientists. We're obsessed with achieving the impossible. You've dedicated your life to learning how to shrink yourself down to the size of an atom, and I spent mine learning the secrets of the Speed Force.

Ray

I became the Atom to help people.

Thawne

You could use the dwarf star in your exo-suit to power an entire city, but instead, you chose to become the Atom because you weren't satisfied with your small, pathetic life. There is no shame in wanting to be greater. To reach higher. To... walk on the Moon.

Ray

Is that why you want the Spear? Reach higher, become greater? Run faster?

Thawne

No. I'm after something much more... elemental. I want to live.

You keep ignoring my requests of a meeting.

Thawne

Because there's no reason for one. Our partnership is ended. You got what you wanted. Your wife and your son are both alive and in good spirits. Your daughter Thea adores you. Nyssa al Ghul is trapped in a miserable, closeted life in the middle of Ohio, and hey, you can even clap again. What more could you possibly want?

How about the Spear of Destiny? There are still some things about this world that I want changed.

Thawne

How may times do I have to say this, Malcolm? The Spear is safest in my hands. Besides, I'm the only one who knows how to use it.

That's because you destroyed the Calebros Manuscript.

Thawne

Well, it's not my fault you don't retain information like I do. Speedster brains are handy that way.
