- Terry McGinnis: [about Powers] This guy had my father murdered and all he's done since is hide from the law. Well, no more hiding for Mr. Derek Powers. Now everyone can see what he is... even in the dark.
- Paxton Powers: Did you really expect me to believe you'd ever give me power? That I'd ever have an ounce of control as long as you were alive? You taught me by example, Dad. The only way to get power is to seize it!
- Batman: You made a bad enemy tonight.
- Paxton Powers: What are you going to do? Testify against me in that mask?
- Batman: Oh, I wasn't talking about me. I'm the least of your worries.
- Derek Powers: You animals!
- [grabs Mendez]
- Derek Powers: You want to talk about poison?
- [laughs]
- Derek Powers: I AM POISON!
- Bruce Wayne: Let him go!
- Derek Powers: Old man, I've been waiting to do this for years!
- [attacks him]
- Bruce Wayne: Careful, Terry, you're sounding a little too vindictive.
- Batman: What do you mean? I'm just helping a guy help his dad... except in my version, that help happens behind bars.
- Bruce Wayne: Terry, what's going on in there? The radiation is off the scale!
- Batman: I think Powers is going critical. I've gotta do something.
- Bruce Wayne: Get out. Now!
- Paxton Powers: Let me guess. You've thought of an even more demeaning grunt job for me.
- Derek Powers: Does acting chairman of the board sound like a grunt job?
- Paxton Powers: How stupid do you think I am?
- Derek Powers: It's in title only, at least at first. I'll tell you what I want done, and you'll do it. If you perform well, real power will follow. I need your help, son. I'm no longer able to face the public.
- Paxton Powers: What are you talking about? What's going on?
- [removing his sunglasses and revealing the radiation in his eyes, Derek pulls off a section of skin from his wrist]
- Paxton Powers: Oh, dad.
- Batman: Looks like your hunch was right. How'd you know?
- Bruce Wayne: I've been reading people since before you *were* a person.
- Paxton Powers: My father's doctors have been working on this for a while. It's called a pinch cell. Turn it on, and it sucks up radiation like a sponge.
- Batman: Get to why I should care.
- Paxton Powers: I'm having a net built to connect to this cell. If you can find my father and lure him into the net, the cell can weaken him enough to hold him.
- Batman: You want me to catch him for you?
- Paxton Powers: He needs medical attention. His condition's affected his mind. There's no reasoning with him, even if we knew where he was. I know this is strange, asking you. But from what I hear, you may be the only one who can find him.
- Paxton Powers: Mr. Mendez. How are the fish biting these days?
- Mendez: That's what I was about to ask you.
- Paxton Powers: Batman's in. But I doubt he'll cooperate when things hit the fan. Be ready to kill him, too.
- Terry McGinnis: [learning of Powers' condition] You think he was born this way?
- Bruce Wayne: Do you remember when Powers was exposed to nerve gas?
- Terry McGinnis: Sure I remember. I threw it.
- Bruce Wayne: Powers would have been treated with radiation. That, combined with the gas, may have mutated him into this.
- Terry McGinnis: You mean... I made him that?
- Bruce Wayne: You may have, in part.
- Blight: Paxton! Get my doctors down here! Where is everybody?
- Paxton Powers: Dad, settle down.
- Blight: I have to get out of the city. I need my skin!
- Paxton Powers: Dad, let me talk. I'll get you help, but putting the skin back on isn't the answer.
- Blight: [hearing him dialing] What are you doing?
- Paxton Powers: I'm sending an ambulance.
- Blight: You fool! They'll arrest me! Now I can't even stay here.
- Paxton Powers: Listen to me. Now that the truth is out, let's get help. Your doctors didn't have the answer, so...
- Blight: You've always been a fool. Now I see I'm on my own!
- Batman: [with Blight caught in the pinch-cell net] Enough. Turn it off. That thing's gonna kill him.
- Paxton Powers: You want this as much as I do.
- Batman: No. I wouldn't have agreed to this. You said you were gonna help him.
- Paxton Powers: I lied.
- Terry McGinnis: [seeing a group of protestors] All these people are anti-Powers? Now I don't feel so alone. Paxton?
- Bruce Wayne: Derek Powers' son. Word is he's being promoted today. As you can see, not everyone was happy with him in his last job.
- Terry McGinnis: While you're in there, ask Daddy about his connection to Glow Boy. I'd love to finally nail this guy on something.
- Bruce Wayne: I'll see if it comes up.
- Bruce Wayne: Any hot spots yet?
- Batman: A trace here and there, but nothing fresh. He might have been on the move earlier, but now he's holed up somewhere good.
- Bruce Wayne: I think I know another way to find him. Come back and I'll explain.
- Batman: Actually, something else just came up.
- Bruce Wayne: What?
- Batman: Look out your window. This one you have to see for yourself.
- [he sees the Bat-Signal shining in the sky]
