Adam Baldwin: Rick Flagg Jr.

Quotes 

• Deadshot : Tell me, Colonel. What's Waller got on you?

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Not a thing. Some of us don't have to be blackmailed into serving their country.

• Rick Flagg Jr. : We're in.

  J'onn J'onzz : [Flying down]  Ask yourselves, is being in here with me what you truly desire?

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Get out of the way, Martian.

• Rick Flagg Jr. : Okay, Plastique, you're setting the charge, and Superman walks in the room.

  Plastique : You said he wouldn't be there!

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Last-minute change in the duty roster. Superman's got the drop on you, what do you do?

  Plastique : Before or after I change my shorts?

• [driving away from the prison, Deadshot considers jumping from the car] 

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Before you do something stupid, tell me: how did you enjoy your last meal?

  Deadshot : Not bad. The asparagus was a little overcooked, but the lobster was perfect.

  Rick Flagg Jr. : It was laced with explosive nanites.

  Deadshot : Excuse me?

  Rick Flagg Jr. : That's right. Any escape attempt, and... well, you're gonna look kind of funny trying to run away with no head.

• Plastique : [Running to the Transport Pad with Task Force X]  Oops.

  Vigilante : [Drawing his guns]  I reckon you boys have a good explanation for what you're doing on "A" Deck.

  Shining Knight : 'Tis more likely that these Varlets are the source of our woes.

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Can't slip anything past you. Take 'em down.

  [the Annihilator attacks] 

• Deadshot : [as his handcuffs are unlocked]  What if I don't want to go with him?

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Then you can go and take your seat, tough guy.

• Deadshot : What do you want, exactly?

  Rick Flagg Jr. : You're gonna do something patriotic, convict.

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Groovy. Who do I kill?

• Deadshot : An expert with nothing to lose... this must be some nasty business.

  Rick Flagg Jr. : A little B-and-E, a little grand larceny. No big deal.

  Deadshot : Right. What's the target?

  [Flagg hands him a dossier] 

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Justice League headquarters.

  Deadshot : Always did want to die for my country.

• Priest : There's still time, Mr. Lawton. Are you sure you don't want me to pray for you?

  Deadshot : I'm sure. But if it comforts you, padre, by all means.

  [he's led into the electric chair chamber] 

  Deadshot : Huh. My chair's already taken. Guess we'll have to come back tomorrow.

  Warden : Who are you? What is this? You can't just come in here and...

  [he's handed a piece of paper and gives it a once-over] 

  Warden : Release the prisoner.

  Prison Guard : But...

  Warden : Release him!

  Deadshot : [his restraints are removed]  What if I don't want to go with him?

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Then you can go and take your seat, tough guy.

• Captain Boomerang : It's a blooming fortress crawling with superheroes. Even if we do get in, what chance do we have?

  Deadshot : That's what I'd like to know.

  Plastique : Yeah, you got that right.

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Listen to me; we've got one advantage: this tower's so big and there's so much staff on it, no one's going to notice us. Unless one of you does something stupid. Once we're aboard, Plastique and Deadshot will make their way down to the Watchtower reactor, where Plastique will create a diversion.

  Plastique : Blow up a nuclear reactor? Sweet.

  Deadshot : Do I just watch, or do I get to join in?

  Rick Flagg Jr. : You're there to provide cover, and that's all.

• Rick Flagg Jr. : Floyd Lawton, AKA Deadshot, meet Task Force X. George Harkness, AKA Captain Boomerang, expert thief and inventor. Temple Fugate, the Clock King; planner, tactician, expert with locks and systems infiltration. And Bette Sans Souci, current alias Plastique, explosives expert.

  Deadshot : Mmm. I know. I've seen the pictures.

  Plastique : And that's all you're gonna see, killer.

• Rick Flagg Jr. : No unnecessary killing.

  Captain Boomerang : Oh, come on!

  Rick Flagg Jr. : You kill someone, they find the body, sound the alarm, and we're trapped.

  The Clock King : Or you take the time to hide the body so they don't find it. Time we don't have to waste.

  Deadshot : [yawning]  Speaking of the time...

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Plenty of time to sleep in the grave, which is where we could all wind up if just one of us misses his mark.

• Amanda Waller : Rick, you're a good soldier. Your father would be proud.

  Rick Flagg Jr. : Ma'am.
