Legends of Tomorrow quotes

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.

I don't want to overstep, but may I ask? What gods gave you such incredible powers?

Zari

Uh, the gods didn't give us powers. Well, maybe they kinda did for Amaya and me, but the captain's a self-made woman. Sara trains every day, she's a total bad-ass.

She's a captain too?

Zari

Yeah.

It gives me hope, knowing that you've come from a time where women have the same opportunities as men.

Zari

Yeah, I wouldn't say that.

Anywhere must be better than where I came from. I spent the last five years alone, locked-up in a tower. My only view is the distant battle waging below, men killing each other. For what? Me. And now you want to send me back to that hellish place.

Nate

Everything okay? You're hitting the bag like it's insulting your mother. And you haven't said anything for like, thirty minutes.

Amaya

What is there to say?

Nate

I don't know, talk about your granddaughter? [Amaya resumes punching the bag] And not the superhero either, the psycho water witch.

Amaya

The who?

Nate

Your granddaughter. I mean, I'm sure she's really not that bad.

Amaya

You just called her a psycho water witch.

Nate

Yeah, and I instantly regret it. I'm she just, you know, confused.

Amaya

Well, I'm not. Kuasa and I will confront each other again. It's inevitable. When we do, I won't hesitate to stop her, even if she is my granddaughter. [leaves]

Nate

Okay, good talk. Good to get the emotions out.

Nate

Look. I'm sorry you have to see your father, but you need to suck it up!

Mick

If it wasn't for this time-traveling stuff, I would have never run into that bastard.

Nate

Okay. You know what? We're changing this operation. This has become Operation: Tough Love. Yeah. I'm gonna go all Dr. Phil on your ass. It's time for you to man up and sort out–

Mick

Daddy issues.

Nate

I was gonna say "unresolved grief", but let's go with what you're saying.

Mick

You wanna know why I've never seen a shrink?

Nate

Why?

Mick

I don't regret killing my old man.

Nate

[swallows] What?

Mick

That's right, Pretty. You heard me. I let my old man burn to death. How's that for tough love?

Ray

Look, I'm sure it's not easy learning that your granddaughter is in league with Damien Darhk. If you ever want to talk about it...

Amaya

What happened to men? When did you all start talking about your feelings?

Ray

Uh... early nineties?

Jax

[speaking to the comatose Sara] I've never told anybody this before, but... I'm scared. I don't know who I am if I'm not a part of Firestorm. But then, you've never had any superpowers and that's never stopped you from being the most kick-ass person I've ever met. Well, good talk, Captain. [fist bumps Sara's limp hand]

They say life is the sum total of all the choices you make. As your misfortune sinks in, maybe you want to ask yourself: "What choices did I make to find myself here?" Today, I want payback for what that monster did to my men, my brothers.

Ray

Uh, excuse me–

Mick

Shut up.

Ray

We're... we're journalists–

Mick

Shut up.

Ray

And we've uncovered a plot to kill President Johnson. We need to alert the proper authorities.

Shut up.

Mick

See?

Zari

He's telling the truth.

Amaya

The president landed in Vietnam, but we can still save him.

You're reporters. What are you gonna do? Question him to safety?

Ray

It's a little more complicated than that, but just trust me, okay? We're the good guys.

Haven't you heard? There are no good guys here.

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!

Sharpe

As far as strategy goes, this would not be my first pick.

Sara

Why not? They welcomed us in, we get Beebo, we get out.

Sharpe

The Bureau has rules about fraternizing with the locals. And these costumes are ridiculous.

Sara

Nah, you look good.

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.

Jax

[giving his farewell speech] When Gray first dragged me on board this ship, I thought it was the last place that I wanted to be. I mean, you were all a bunch of screw-ups. B-list superheroes, washed-up bank robbers... no offense. But, uh, the thing is... when you get a bunch of broken pieces and you put 'em all together the right way, you make something new. And suddenly, they don't feel so broken anymore. And I'm pretty sure that's what a family is. So, uh... I don't know what happens next, but I know I'll always have a family here, with you guys.

Mick

I thought we gave the Englishman to the Time Pigs.

Sara

That was Rip. This is John Constantine.

Mick

Skinny brit in a trenchcoat. Same thing.

John Constantine

Oooh, doubtful, mate. You see, I'm an accomplished warlock, an expert of the occult, and a master of exorcism. I'm also a Taurus, for those of you taking notes. [winks at Leo Snart of Earth-X].

Aw.

Sara

What?

First, I apologize for interrupting. Second, that woman clearly has a crush on you.

Sara

Just don't.

Come, come, Captain. She called you for absolutely no reason. It was just an excuse to talk. To you.

Sara

Mmm-hmmm.

Gideon, play back that last bit, please.

Sara

Gideon, don't!

Head down, eyes up, cheeks flushed. Classic courtship signals.

Sara

Even if it was -- and it is not -- we're completely different people.

I dunno. You're both strong women, you're both obsessed with repairing time, you're both... super hot. [off Sara's look] Gay. Not blind.

Nate

Z, will you please tell her that talking to Kuasa is a bad idea?

Zari

No.

Amaya

Thank you. I refuse to accept that my granddaughter is pure evil.

Nate

Fine. She's eighty-nine percent evil.

Ray

Guys! I think Sara is in trouble.

Mick

QUIET!! Haircut! Take the new girl. Find Blondie, Fake Snart and Trenchcoat. Amaya, the med-bay. Pretty, the library. Water Bitch? Stays in the freezer.

Ray

You know, Mick? You're really showing some management potential.

Mick

Get out. [Ray gets out.]
