- Barbara Gordon: [to Helena] Canary and your mom never really got along... I think it was some sort of bird-cat thing.
- Helena Kyle: [Discussing Dinah] Yeah. What are you gonna do when she's out past curfew, hmm? Blast her with your Canary Cry?
- Carolyn Lance: What did your mother do? Oh, that's right. She was too busy stealing your childhood.
- Helena Kyle: [after finding out that Dinah has telekinetic powers] Barbara, you're not gonna believe this.
- Carolyn Lance: Dinah?
- Dinah Lance: Mom?
- Helena Kyle: You're the Black Canary's daughter?
- Barbara Gordon: You have a daughter?
- Dinah Lance: You're the Black Canary?
- Barbara Gordon: This could mean you have the Canary Cry as well.
- Helena Kyle: Hold on. She has mind melding, telekinesis, and the Canary Cry?
- Dinah Lance: Wha, what Canary Cry?
- Barbara Gordon: What telekinesis?
- Carolyn Lance: Okay, everybody stop!
- [to Helena and Barbara]
- Carolyn Lance: Could you just give us a minute?
- Al Hawke: I suppose you're enjoying this.
- Jesse Reese: No, I'm not. Only a sick man takes pleasure in another human being's pain.
- Al Hawke: I forgot... You always were above it all.
- Jesse Reese: Yeah, well, I guess we just found out that you're not. You killed a woman practically in front of her own daughter. You've been charged, and you will get locked up for this.
- Al Hawke: We'll see.
- Jesse Reese: You really are a monster, aren't you? You just feed off of people. You suck the blood right out of 'em and you just leave them lying there broken. Only this time it's a little different, isn't it? It's you who's broken. There is no way in hell I'm letting you get away with this one. Not unless you die.
- Al Hawke: We'll see.
- Jesse Reese: Well, that is one thing that I can say about you: always optimistic.
- Al Hawke: Jesse... Don't forget and call your mom. She doesn't like being alone.
- Jesse Reese: Whatever you say, Dad.
- Barbara Gordon: [Talking About Dinah] She could be every bit as great as you.
- Carolyn Lance: And she could get shot at before breakfast, tortured before lunch, and knocked unconscious for dinner also like me.
- Barbara Gordon: Wow, Black Canary's daughter. I didn't even know she had a daughter.
- Helena Kyle: I always thought she'd be taller, being a legend and all.
- Carolyn Lance: Can you tell me that you never regret it?
- Barbara Gordon: What, because I'm in this chair? No. No, I don't regret it. I'm thankful for every moment I have. And I'm thankful for every moment I had before I got hurt. Not being able to walk doesn't affect why I do what I do. It only affects how I do it.
- Carolyn Lance: Do you remember when I took you to your foster parents?
- Dinah Lance: Yeah. I sat by that window for days, wondering when you'd come back. And you never did.
- Carolyn Lance: What you don't know is why. I came home one night, and I don't know how I knew, but I just knew something was wrong. So I went straight to your room. And you were just lying there, sleeping like an angel. So I kissed you goodnight, but the feeling just wouldn't go away, so... I searched your room. There was a C-4 explosive under your bed, timed to go off an hour later. If I didn't come home when I did, I... Anyway, that's when I realized I wasn't just taking risks for myself anymore. I was putting you in the line of fire every day, only you didn't know it, and you had no way to protect yourself. I don't want you to ever face that moment, the moment when you realize the choice you made could kill the person you love most in this world.
- Jesse Reese: I don't know a damn thing about you, do I? I don't know who you work for. I don't know how come you do what you do. I don't know if you're one of the good guys or one of the bad guys. I don't know why your eyes change before you're ready to fight, and I don't know why I feel your presence before I see you. But what I do know... I don't wanna see anything happen to you.
- Helena Kyle: I don't work for anyone, but I do work with someone. You've seen enough to know that I'm one of the good guys. And I think you know how hard it is for me to ask for help.
- [first lines]
- Frankie Spitz: [on the phone] Yeah, this is Spitz. Talk to me. Are you sure?
- Street Hood: Yeah, as sure as I'm talking to you. Used to be there was a price on her head. That still stand?
- Frankie Spitz: Yeah, yeah, yeah, with one small change, huh? If you lose her, the price goes on your head.
- [last lines]
- Barbara Gordon: The most important thing is that your mother was proud of you. The rest... you'll find on your own.
- Dinah Lance: No. Not on my own. I can't look back, you know? All I have is the future. And I think I know what I have to do. For her... and for me.
