Rip Hunter was beginning to regret bringing Leonard Snart onboard. He was useful, but he was opportunistic. Right now he was trying to convince Rip what exactly they could steal. Dr Stein heard their conversation, and as much as he tried not to listen in he couldn't help but overhear.
.
Snart: Hear me out. We go to Paris, as close to the revolution as possible, and take as much gold as we can.
Rip: It could disrupt the timeline.
Snart: This from the guy willing to change all of history to save his own wife and child. Much of this gold was just destroyed in the chaos of the french revolution. It therefore won't be missed.
Rip: We are not risking it.
Stein: Actually, I agree with mr Snart on this.
Snart: And you dr Stein isn't doing this out of love for me.
Stein: If it works, we can save some of the paintings that were looted by the nazis, and destroyed during the war.
Snart: Won't work. I've dealt enough stolen art to know they'll do tests on it. Try and pass it off as the real paintings and they'll say it's decades younger than it should be. On the other hand, who's to say where we got a few hundred pounds of raw gold?
Stein: I'm not looking to make money off of this. I want to preserve these art works as cultural monuments. Allow future generations the opportunity to appreciate their beauty. Not to mention take a victory away from Hitler.
Rip: I get wanting to stick it to Hitler. But these paintings were photographed, couldn't people appreciate their beauty from the pictures? Anyway I'm not taking the Waverider to the past merely to steal gold or paintings.
Stein: My plan is to take them from the nazis, who had stolen them, and return them to their rightful owners.
Snart: How about a compromise. We don't go out of our way for these things. But if we happen to find ourselves in Paris in the 1780s, or nazi-occupied Europe, Stein and I can take our chances.
Stein: That sounds fair.
Rip: I supposse that's as much as I can trust you two on this. Agreed.
