Perish the thought, Mr. Rory.
[Rip doesn't hold any illusions that they would ever be friends. But has he come to respect Mick Rory in the days after his tenure as Chronos? Certainly.]
Perhaps he did. But that is something you would need to take up with Mr. Snart. [Although of course Rip's preference would have been that Mick not learn about that particular aspect of the future, he would have hoped Leonard would be the one to dictate just how the knowledge came to light. Since that doesn't seem to be the case, he can only point Mick in the direction of his partner now.]
