Quotes 

• Alicia : Don't you need a gun?

  Luke Cage : I am the gun.

• Bobby Fish : Seating everyone at this thing is gonna be the toughest move I've mastered since the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. I mean I gotta put Estelle up front, 'cause she's been with him the longest, at least as far as the neighborhood knows. Keep her far away as hell from Charlene. She's real sly. Moves like a bishop on the diagonal at all times. Now, they both have to steer clear of Candy, who they both think is his cousin.

  Luke Cage : Candy?

  Bobby Fish : She rubs everyone the wrong way, but Pop. Who she rubs the right way, every Tuesday and Thursday at 9:45.

  Luke Cage : Looks like Shaft ain't had nothing on Henry Hunter. Pop was a mack.

• Luke Cage : Aisha shot that dude?

  Blue : He was with Zip. He laughed at her, and talked trash about the ring.

  Luke Cage : Where'd she get the gun?

  Blue : Yo, I plead the eighth.

  Luke Cage : You mean the fifth.

• Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : There he is. Dishwasher Lazarus. You want your old job back? Costs to be a savior. Ask Jesus.

  Luke Cage : You started all this. This is me finishing it.

  Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : You want Harlem? It's expensive.

  Luke Cage : I don't want Harlem. I just want you to stop messing with it.

• Luke Cage : I need to find your daughter.

  Eddie Axton : She still carrying on about that ring? It ain't worth shit.

  Luke Cage : Maybe it reminds her of better times... back in the day. What about your father? Did he play the game?

  Eddie Axton : Of course. Baseball is a game passed from father to son. That's why you don't see no niggas playing the game no more. 'Cause all the fathers is gone.

• Luke Cage : I don't believe in Harlem. I believe in the people who make Harlem what it is.

• Aisha Axton : So, you're one of them, huh?

  Luke Cage : You mean someone who gives a damn? Yeah.

• Misty Knight : You need to stop with this pissing contest before more people get killed.

  Luke Cage : Maybe if y'all stopped him in the first place, no one would've had to die.

  Misty Knight : I will get him the right way. The system will win.

  Luke Cage : Forget the system. Arrests lead to indictments. And indictments lead to pleas. There's always a bigger fish, a bigger angle. A slap on the wrist. Boom. Right back in business. I ain't going for that.

  Misty Knight : You just started World War III in there. And your ass might be bulletproof, but Harlem ain't.

• Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : There he is. Dishwasher Lazarus. You want your old job back? It costs to be a savior. Ask Jesus.

  Luke Cage : You started all this. This is me finishing it.

  Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : You want Harlem, it's expensive.

  Luke Cage : I don't want Harlem. I just want you to stop messing with it.

  Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes : It's my home. You don't know a damn thing about it.

• Luke Cage : Think about where you are. It's hallowed ground, this park. Named for Jackie Robinson. It's here. It's all around you, if you respect yourself enough to take a look.

  Zip : At what?

  Luke Cage : Our legacy.

• Luke Cage : You can't kill me. Keep my name out your mouth.

• Luke Cage : [to one of Cottonmouth's thugs]  You know my name?

  Alicia : That's Luke Cage, asshole.

  Luke Cage : The next time you say my name I'm coming for you. Now, when you wake up, I want you to tell everybody that you've been screwing with that they got nothing to fear from Cottonmouth, you understand?

  Thug : Wake up?

  [Luke knocks him out]
