Arthur Darvill: Rip Hunter

Quotes 

• Rip Hunter : Let's have another drink. Oh. I appear to be empty. Give me some of that.

  Wally West : No, this... this is not for you.

  Rip Hunter : Please, I drank Hemingway and van Gogh under the table.

  Wally West : Um, Cisco gave this to me before I left Central City. The only way a speedster could get drunk if off of this rocket fuel.

  Rip Hunter : Rocket fuel?

• Rip Hunter : It's, uh... it's rather a lovely place you've traveled to, Mr. West.

  Wally West : How'd you find me?

  Rip Hunter : By tracking the geolocation of your mp3 player. Your playlist consists of a rather amazing number of repetitions of George Michael's "Careless Whisper."

• Rip Hunter : I assume that your recent heartbreak is the reason for your spiritual quest. However, with the fate of the world at stake, I-I'm afraid that you can no longer sit idly by.

  Wally West : Well, I-I'm sorry, my friend, but my days of "fwathooming" are over. Right now, I'm living my life one quarter-mile at a time.

  Rip Hunter : Was that a Buddhist koan?

  Wally West : Dom Toretto, "The Fast and the Furious."

• Wally West : Aren't you BFFs with the Legends? I'm sure my boy Nate can help you out.

  Rip Hunter : Uh, it seems that my days of Legending are over. Alas, you're quite secure in your decision to slow things down?

  Wally West : I am.

  Rip Hunter : Well, the last time I was this far east was in the Opium Wars. It'd be a shame to waste a trip. Fancy a drink?

• Rip Hunter : [tasting Wally's "rocket fuel"]  Cisco's a ruddy genius.

  Wally West : Yeah, he is. So is Barry and Caitlin and Wells. Wait, maybe that's why I never fit on Team Flash.

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

  Wally West : What happened?

  Rip Hunter : 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 West : Whoa. Sounds like you're a bit of a douche. No... no offense.

  Rip Hunter : No, none taken, no. I intend to make it up to both of them, but first, I need the teensiest, teensiest of favors.

• Rip Hunter : Why do you look so chipper?

  Wally West : Oh, no, I had a terrible hangover. It lasted three minutes.

  Rip Hunter : The benefits of a speedster's metabolism.

• Wally West : You know, last night was pretty fun.

  Rip Hunter : [dry laugh]  Yeah.

  Wally West : I had gotten a bit lonely here, I think.

  Rip Hunter : Yeah, I've been a bit lonely, too. Hey, your girlfriend dumped you, your team treated you like an outcast. It's no wonder you went walk-about. But the world needs Wallace West to step in from the cold. And I know a place where outcasts fit right in. In fact, some might say that they become... Legends.

• Wally West : [having fun at Gary's expense]  This is way more fun than meditating.

  Rip Hunter : I know! Wait, there is one item we must procure from the Bureau's storage closet, and one... that is very near and dear to my heart.

  [Wally speeds away; a moment later, he returns with Rip's brown trench coat]
