[It's kind of a dickish thing to think, but Taako is fairly sure that Cisco wouldn't be too hard to play; he doesn't do the whole hustling thing, any more, but if he did there are definitely a few weak points he could think to exploit, ways to get Cisco to respond in a certain way. And he can only imagine it'd be easier if someone went in with that goal in mind, getting under Cisco's skin in order to manipulate him.
He's smart enough not to say that out loud, though.]

Listen, the way I see it is everyone's capable of being a fucking awful person and everyone's capable of being a fucking great person. Reverb chose to be awful, you don't have to. And from where I'm sitting, I'm not even worried about you turning bad.
[This Cisco, the one in front of him, felt bad about hurting someone for a few seconds. Taako isn't worried about him turning evil.]
