- Jefferson Pierce: I grew up around... drug dealers and drug addicts. You know that. Man, I've seen drugs devastate people, families... I know the depth of addiction. I also know that Black Lightning's powers are useless in that fight. But they are not useless in the fight in f4ront of me now. This war for Freeland took her from me. If I have to break bones, burn skin, draws blood... if I have to kill, I will. I'm getting her back.
- Dr. Helga Jace: You haven't said anything all morning. Are you not talking to me? My research shows that friendly human connections start with a salutation of some sort. So, good morning.
- Lynn Pierce: I'm a prisoner, miles from home. So no, it isn't.
- Dr. Helga Jace: Allow me to suggest a man does not get the name "Gravedigger" because he's kind and gentle.
- Gravedigger: Not enough sense to run. Clearly, you're what they call a "millennial".
- Khalil Payne: You talk too much.
- Tobias Whale: It's actually nice to see you, Jefferson
- Jefferson Pierce: Even if that was my name, we're not on a first-name basis, bruh.
