I get that you think this is going to protect me, I get that. But it doesn't change that the way you do this stuff sometimes is so messed up!

[The "so messed up" is more emotional than angry. It's frustration at being manipulated and hurt that Tim would try it knowing about his issues of being controlled.]

It's not even just doing the stupid application without me knowing. You set up a fake quiz to get me to answer the questions, then tried to manipulate me into taking it. Do you really not get how screwed up that is?

[Sometimes it feels like Tim is inches nearby but somehow a million miles away.]

I don't like to be tricked, Tim! I don't like being manipulated. I don't like people trying to control me and decide what I'm doing. It's my life.

I get to choose the direction. I get to choose the risk. That's mine.

[He hates when people try to control him. The whole rebel thing is what his friends know as being an essential part of him and the truth of it is that it was just basic necessity. It wasn't something he learned to do to try to be a stronger person, he had to learn to rebel just to control his own destiny and be his own person, in a way none of his friends will ever be able to fully understand.]

[What had Waller said that one time? "Let him speak. It'll help me learn if he's gone defective and needs to be locked in a warehouse with the rest of our damaged property."]

[ He'd become a rebel to be allowed to just...be.]

Your heart is in the right place, but tricking me into it? That's a Luthor move. [Shots fired.] And I'm not putting up with it.

[There's a flash of blue teke and the papers erupt into shreds in his hands, then fall to the floor.]

[And he's not the one that's going to pick them up.]

If you try it again I'll just have it revoked.
