Quotes 

• Lady Eve : [while embalming a body]  Tobias, did you know that, in Africa, some people believe that albinos are magical? These people would actually kidnap random albinos, cut them up, grind their bones and sell it as magic dust.

  Tobias Whale : Yes, I'm aware of that.

  Lady Eve : I admire how you reinvented yourself after you lost your career as a politician. You went underground, built a new career with us and when we rewarded you with the 100, you did a good job.

  Tobias Whale : But?

  Lady Eve : But, ever since Black Lightning returned to Freeland, my partners have become less confident in your ability to lead the 100.

  [Tobias starts bristling] 

  Lady Eve : Is there something you would like to say?

  Tobias Whale : I've literally made you millions of dollars and you've given me a hard time over one mistake.

  Lady Eve : But it isn't one mistake. It's your reputation. Your entire criminal career was built on the belief that you killed Black Lightning nine years ago when nobody else could. It's like you lied on your resume. Black Lightning's death was your calling card, and now people are beginning to feel like they've been deceived. And that's messing with my bottom line.

  Tobias Whale : I've got people paying up on protection and that's offsetting any lost revenue. And I'm gonna take Black Lightning out, once and for all.

  Lady Eve : How am I supposed to believe that you can take out Black Lightning now when you couldn't take him out then? And, on top of that, you're makin' a lot of noise! Your men shot a reverend and paralyzed a kid. They were talking about that kid going to the Olympics!

  Tobias Whale : He wasn't going to no Olympics.

  Lady Eve : Well, he isn't now! And that's for sure. You need to take Black Lightning out and button this thing up quick. I'm not gonna tell you how to run your crew, but, if I were you, I would use some of that albino magic to get it done. Because, if you don't, my partners are gonna turn you into dust. Do you understand?

  Tobias Whale : Yes.

  Lady Eve : Good.
