No Country for Old Dads (2018)

Courtney Ford: Nora Darhk

Quotes 

• Nora Darhk : Looks like you still got it, old man.

  Damien Darhk : Who are you calling old man? I look good for 257.

• Nora Darhk : Oh, no. It's my dad.

  Ray Palmer : Yeah, hit man Darhk's gonna kill us.

  Nora Darhk : Not that dad.

  [pointing out the car's back window] 

  Nora Darhk : That dad!

  Ray Palmer : Oh, he's definitely gonna kill me. I was supposed to have you home by now.

• Nora Darhk : Come on. Why won't this stupid thing work?

  Kuasa : That "stupid thing" has been in my family for generations. It should've been mine.

  Nora Darhk : Well, it's mine now. Besides, Mallus wishes for only his most devoted followers to wield totems, and you already have one. Now, why can't I access its powers?

  Kuasa : Because power is all it is to you. Until you find a selfless reason to wield it, my grandmother's bond to the totem, even at a distance, will remain stronger than yours.

• Damien Darhk : What about this Fire totem I stole in Detroit?

  Nora Darhk : [noticing Kuasa recoil]  Afraid of a broken trinket?

  Kuasa : That thing killed me once. Even in pieces, it's still to be feared. Totems are eternal. They can never be destroyed.

  Damien Darhk : So they can be fixed? Ooh! So I can get a necklace myself?

  Kuasa : It would take a truly brilliant mind to figure out how.

  Ray Palmer : [tied up]  You guys hungry? I could really go for some eggs; poached, runny. Oh, my coffee... with grass-fed butter and MCT oil.

• Ray Palmer : No, no, no. Nope. Not gonna do it.

  Damien Darhk : You and I both realize that your idiot friends are gonna search every Dead show in history before they realize that I don't even like jam bands.

  Ray Palmer : Be that as it may, I... will not fix the Fire totem. Sorry. You're gonna have to kill me.

  Nora Darhk : Suit yourself.

  Damien Darhk : No, no, no, no, hold on a second, sweetie.

  [holding up the miniaturized Atom suit] 

  Damien Darhk : I think I'm gonna give this suit to Genghis Khan. Imagine what history would be like if the Mongols had a dwarf star-powered rocket man.

  Ray Palmer : The Legends will just find the anachronism and fix it.

  Damien Darhk : Good point.

  [in a high-pitched voice, as if the suit is talking] 

  Damien Darhk : Way to go, Ray.

  [normally] 

  Damien Darhk : Maybe I will just murder a young Sandy Palmer picking her sons up from Ivy Springs Day Care, 1982.

  Ray Palmer : I'll need a lab.

• Ray Palmer : Hi, Alan. Sorry, Alan.

  Alan : What the hell, Ray? You quit. There's no takebacks in Upswipz.

  Damien Darhk : Oh! You're the "up and down" guy. Me, I prefer side to side.

  Alan : [with his powers, Damien throws him around the room]  Our focus groups found up and down was more intuitive.

  [Damien throws him back and forth between the ceiling and the floor] 

  Alan : Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait!

  Damien Darhk : You know, he might be right.

  Alan : We think it shifts the paradigm.

  Nora Darhk : [to Ray]  You have your lab. Now get to work, nerd.

• Damien Darhk : Sweetie, you think it's too early for me to, you know... get back out there? I mean, how long should I mourn your mother?

  Nora Darhk : It's been 23 years on my end, dad. I say go for it.

  Damien Darhk : Thank you. Trouble is I haven't had a single match yet. I think the thing is broken.

  Alan : If I may... you might have more luck if you tak about your hobbies.

  Damien Darhk : I just said that I enjoy destroying the world to re-make it in my image. Oh! I like trying new restaurants.

  Alan : Also, your profile says you're 199 years old.

  Damien Darhk : Yeah, it... it wouldn't go any higher. Can you fix that?

  Alan : Well, everyone lies about their age, brah.

• Nora Darhk : Can you please stop fooling around?

  Damien Darhk : Nora doll, what's the point of living if you can't have a bit of fun?

  Nora Darhk : Well, I'm not enjoying myself. I'm annoyed.

  Damien Darhk : Hi, Annoyed. I'm Dad.

• Damien Darhk : Well, I guess I'm off to East Berlin to stop myself from killing Vogal. Should be fun. You watch the prisoner, and I'll bring you back some chocolate. Oh, who am I kidding? I'm probably gonna get a hat for myself, too.

  Nora Darhk : No, I'm going.

  Damien Darhk : To 1962 Berlin? Too dangerous.

  Nora Darhk : If your younger self sees you, it could change the course of your entire life.

  Damien Darhk : All right, obviously you haven't been listening. We're talking about going back against me in my prime. You don't stand a chance, Nora doll.

  Nora Darhk : We're partners. I can do this mission.

  Ray Palmer : Or you could just call the whole thing off. This is obviously causing a lot of family tension.

  Damien Darhk , Nora Darhk : Shut up.

• Damien Darhk : All right, tell me your plan.

  Nora Darhk : We return to 1962 and convince Dr. Vogal that we're American agents there to help him. Then we jump straight back to this moment.

  Damien Darhk : Oh, I'm sorry. "We"? Are you taking him?

  Nora Darhk : Dr. Vogal needs to trust us fast, which means he needs a peer; someone who speaks nerd.

  Damien Darhk : [growling]  Hmm... You better come right back you two, you do you understand me? And use protection.

  Nora Darhk : Ew.

  [Damien hands her a gun, and she pulls Ray to his feet] 

  Ray Palmer : I think he's warming to me.

• Dr. Bernhard Vogal : As I told your British friends, I-I will not speak a word about cold fusion until I am reunited with my family.

  Nora Darhk : Touching, but not our mission.

  Ray Palmer : We'll get you back to your famiy, but first you have to come with us. It's not safe here.

  Dr. Bernhard Vogal : Wait. I-I have to get something from the other room. A doll for my daughter.

  Ray Palmer : No, no, no. No, there's no time. There's an assassin on his way here right now, and trust me, he's not very nice.

• Dr. Bernhard Vogal : I will not leave here without that doll.

  Nora Darhk : Can I hurt him yet?

  Dr. Bernhard Vogal : Hurt me? Wait. You are not CIA.

• Ray Palmer : No worries. That's a classic first-attempt blunder. Happens to the Legends all the time, sometimes twice on the same mission. All we need to do is regroup and come up with plan "B".

  [Nora grabs a hammer and holds Vogal's hand to the table] 

  Ray Palmer : Hey! What are you doing?

  Nora Darhk : Plan B. Tell us the formula for cold fusion or I'll break your fingers.

  Dr. Bernhard Vogal : No. The formula can die with me.

  Nora Darhk : Oh, I'm not gonna kill you. You'll just wish I had.

• Ray Palmer : Nora, just put it down. Torture is not the answer.

  Nora Darhk : Yeah, but it's fun either way.

  Dr. Bernhard Vogal : Do your worst. I've already faced the most terrible pain that a man can endure; the prospect that he will never again see the ones he holds most dear.

  Ray Palmer : The doll, it's your daughter's?

  Dr. Bernhard Vogal : I only had enough money for papers for my wife and daughter. So when they left, Greta wanted me to keep it, with the promise that I would bring it back to her soon. So... torture me all you want, fraulein. I swear I will never give up my secret until I am with my family.

• Nora Darhk : This was supposed to be simple; in and out. Now we're stuck here in this dump. Damn it! My father still thinks I'm a little kid. Now he's gonna lord it over me that he's stronger than me, that we're not equals, and that I f... that I failed.

  Ray Palmer : It's not all bad. We have extended Dr. Vogal's life past its normal expiration date.

  Dr. Bernhard Vogal : What?

  Ray Palmer : So all we have to do is, um, just get him across the border and then he'll talk, right?

  Nora Darhk : [sarcastic]  Of course. Why didn't I think of that? We'll just mosey across the most heavily guarded border in all of history.

  Ray Palmer : Yeah. Is that sarcasm?

  Nora Darhk : [still sarcastic]  No. No, that's not sarcasm.

  [frustrated] 

  Nora Darhk : Yes, it's sarcasm! Look, it's not gonna work. Without magic, it's impossible.

  Ray Palmer : Nothing's impossible. W-we thought cold fusion was impossible. So you don't have magic. Young Darhk is no match for our brains and determination. And you know what? It's high time you showed your dad what's really inside you... besides a demon.

• Nora Darhk : Remember our story.

  Ray Palmer : Yeah. Uh... now's probably, uh, not the right time to mention that I'm, uh... that I'm a terrible liar.

  Nora Darhk : Try and imagine my surprise.

• Nora Darhk : What the hell are you doing here?

  Damien Darhk : Saving you, Nora doll. And is that any way to speak to your father?

• Nora Darhk : I could have handled myself back there. I didn't need your help. For the love of Mallus, would you stop with the hat thing already?

• Nora Darhk : Is all of this just a game to you? Because I feel like I'm the only one taking any of this seriously.

  Damien Darhk : Well, since my Time Stone still works, we're gonna do things my way. We're gonna bring the good doctor back to 2018 and torture him until he talks.

  Nora Darhk : Torture isn't the answer.

  Damien Darhk : [Ray is surprised]  Says who?

  Nora Darhk : He knows his secret is the only way he'll ever see his daughter again, because unlike some fathers, he values his family more than himself.

• Damien Darhk : Honey bunny, listen...

  Nora Darhk : Ugh.

  Damien Darhk : Look, don't you know that I've only ever had your best interests at heart?

  Nora Darhk : Was in my best interest or yours when you pushed a scared little girl into the arms of a demon?

  Damien Darhk : Yeah, to bring us back together.

  Nora Darhk : To bring you back to life!

  Damien Darhk : What has gotten into you? I send you off on one lousy mission by yourself, and suddenly the...

  [realizing] 

  Damien Darhk : Oh... of course. I should have known Ray Palmer would be a good influence on you.

• Damien Darhk : You shouldn't be walking around alone.

  Nora Darhk : Stop treating...

  [realizing it's Damien from the past] 

  Nora Darhk : You.

  Damien Darhk : Expecting someone else?

• Nora Darhk : [taken prisoner by her father's past self]  There's no reason why we can't collaborate. We'll take the doctor for a few days and give him back when we're done with him. You don't want to t-talk about your plan even a little bit?

  Damien Darhk : Oh, the plan is simple. I'm going to kill you.

• Nora Darhk : Dad... you have to let me go.

  Damien Darhk : [being garotted by his past self]  No! I won't let you go!

  Nora Darhk : If you don't, you'll die.

  Damien Darhk : No!

  Nora Darhk : I can't lose you, not again. I'll be okay.

  Damien Darhk : [letting her go]  I love you!

  Damien Darhk : Why won't you die?

  [a bird screeches, and it's revealed that Nora has tapped into the totem's powers] 

  Damien Darhk : Because I have something to live for!

• Nora Darhk : Where do you think you're going with that doll, Ray?

  The Atom : I promised Vogal I'd get this back to his daughter.

  Nora Darhk : If I've learned one thing from all of this, it's that you're a terrible liar.

• Nora Darhk : Give me the doll.

  The Atom : Sorry, Nora, I can't do that.

  Nora Darhk : [he powers up the blaster on his gauntlet]  Come on, you and I both know you're not gonna shoot me.

  The Atom : [firing a blast into the distance]  You're right.

• Nora Darhk : I thought you were getting a breath of fresh air.

  Damien Darhk : Well, I felt like an apology was in order. I lost the Fire totem, and I know how much it meant to you and to the big guy, Mallus. But I also remember something that used to bring a smile to your face.

  [holding out a cup from Jitters] 

  Damien Darhk : Hot chocolate with whipped cream and caramel sauce.

  Nora Darhk : Oh, wow. I haven't had one of these since...

  Damien Darhk : Since I came and told you to join the Order. Since I sent you into the arms of a demon.

  Nora Darhk : I'm glad you did. It brought us back together.

  Damien Darhk : No. I never should've doubted your strength. Look, I know you feel a lot of pressure to be like your old man, but I just want you know that... I'm proud of you, no matter what.

  [tears well in his eyes] 

  Damien Darhk : Ooh, I think there's something in my eye there.

• Nora Darhk : Well, I'm not enjoying myself. I'm annoyed.

  Damien Darhk : Hi, Annoyed. I'm Dad.
