- Tobias Whale: I hear your man went all theatrical. Burning lightning bolts on the side of buildings and whatnot. Such a goon.
- Lynn Pierce: How do you know about that?
- Tobias Whale: I have my ways. I always have my ways. So, like I said, Dr. Stewart... You want to be my friend?
- Lynn Pierce: What do you want?
- Tobias Whale: I want a list of every meta in this place, complete with their particular set of powers.
- Lynn Pierce: I can't do that.
- Tobias Whale: Oh. I think you can. And... I think you will.
- Tobias Whale: [to Lynn] Have you been reading Michelle Obama's book lately? You're sure becoming very assertive.
- Agent Percy Odell: You should've taken out Colonel Mosin.
- Black Lightning: I don't kill people.
- Agent Percy Odell: Pathetic.
- [passes out]
- Agent Percy Odell: Our deal protected your family from taking your place in the Pit.
- Jefferson Pierce: If you even think about laying a finger on my girls, I will barbecue your black ass.
- Agent Percy Odell: Mr. Pierce, you don't want to make an enemy out of me.
- Jefferson Pierce: That's funny, Agent Odell. I was about to tell you the same thing.
- Tobias Whale: Dr. Stewart. I was beginning to think you didn't love me anymore. What, no witty comeback? Did somebody wake up on the light socket this morning.
- Lynn Pierce: I'm not here to talk to you, Tobias. I'm just here to check you're healing properly, so I can harvest another round of marrow.
- Tobias Whale: So you can cure the pod kids.
- Lynn Pierce: I didn't say anything about the pod kids.
- Tobias Whale: You didn't have to. Helping them would be the only reason Odell pulled me out of the hole I was in. You know you can't trust him, right? So, whatever he promised you...
- Lynn Pierce: But I suppose I can trust you?
- Tobias Whale: I'm a true friend, Dr. Stewart. I'd much rather stab you in the front, whereas Odell... Well, you get the metaphor.
- Lynn Pierce: We're not friends, Tobias. You're a lab rat I can use and discard as I please.
- Tobias Whale: You want to be my friend, Dr. Stewart, because friends keep their friends' secrets.
- Lynn Pierce: I'm tired of your empty threats. You're on lock down with no access to the outside world. You're never going to see the light of day again.
- Tobias Whale: Doctor, I always knew you'd do the right thing, and they say black woman are difficult. I think, like most Negroes, they just need the proper motivation.
- Lynn Pierce: You're a monster, do you know that?
- Tobias Whale: You may think I'm a monster, but I'm nothing compared to Odell. You have to clue who he is, do you?
- Lynn Pierce: You're just trying to get inside my head.
