My choice? When have I ever had a choice?

Rick: Look, I’m not playing fairy princess teatime with you two.

Courtney: I understand.

Rick: What do you understand? My parents hit a tree, and they died. What grand plan of God’s was that?

Yolanda: It wasn’t God’s plan, Rick; it was an accident.

Rick: Then who do I blame, huh? Do you know what it’s like to be so filled up with anger that you feel like you’re poisoning yourself? Do you? I want to hit something – anything – all of the time, every second. You think I like that? I hate feeling this way.

Courtney: My dad was a member of the Justice Society too. He was Starman, and even though I only met him a few times, I feel cheated. He was killed before I even got to know him. But now I get to keep his legacy alive, and you can too. You can be a hero like your dad, Hourman. It’s your choice.

Rick: My choice? When have I ever had a choice? Be a hero like my dad? My dad’s dead.
