Henry Thomas: Chuck

Quotes 

• Beth Chapel : Who are you?

  Charles McNider : You are hearing the voice of Dr. Charles McNider.

  Beth Chapel : Uh, okay. Why are you talking about yourself in the third person?

  Charles McNider : I am merely an A.I. of Dr. Charles McNider. But I can change my settings to speak in the first person if you'd like.

  Beth Chapel : Don't change a thing. You do you, Chuck.

• Stargirl : I can't let you keep that hourglass. Not when you're like this.

  Rick Tyler : Yeah? Try and take it.

  Beth Chapel : [approaching]  Rick, wait! It wasn't an accident.

  Rick Tyler : What?

  Beth Chapel : Your parents were murdered.

  Rick Tyler : They crashed right here. They hit this tree and they...

  Beth Chapel : No.

  Charles McNider : The police report said a faulty tire that had been recalled blew out and caused the crash. But the recalled tires were never made for the make and model of vehicle they were driving.

  Beth Chapel : Dr. McNider says it wasn't the tree that killed them. He says he can... show us?

  [the goggles emit a holographic representation of what happened] 

  Beth Chapel : They were here. But so was someone else. Or something? Chuck calls it Solomon Grundy.

• Charles McNider : I am able to shift into various spectrums, including x-ray, infrared, and night vision.

  Beth Chapel : This is so bonkers.

  Courtney Whitmore : The goggles are just something my stepdad is working on.

  Beth Chapel : [seeing it registering as a lie]  False. These were invented by Dr. Charles McNider after he lost his sight fighting the mob. They helped a blind man see. He put on a mask and became Dr. Mid-Nite. Later joining the Justice Society of America.

  Courtney Whitmore : Give me those right now.

  Beth Chapel : And I know that you're a superhero, too.

  Courtney Whitmore : What?

  Beth Chapel : I saw you last night at the hospital. Flying!

  Courtney Whitmore : That's crazy. And-and that wasn't me. And you shouldn't even be in my room right now. I don't even know you.

  Beth Chapel : Um... well... A, we eat lunch together every day, and B, last night at the hospital, I heard you call Yolanda by her real name.

  Charles McNider : That is a common rookie superhero mistake.

  Beth Chapel : Chuck says it's a common rookie superhero mistake. It got someone named the Red Bee killed.

• Courtney Whitmore : What are you doing in my room?

  Beth Chapel : Oh, Chuck, tell me about her.

  Charles McNider : Courtney Elizabeth Whitmore. Permanent record includes the following infractions: talking back to teachers...

  Beth Chapel : These things are like Wikipedia on rocket fuel.

• Charles McNider : Good afternoon.

  Beth Chapel : Ah!

  Charles McNider : Do you require assistance?

  Beth Chapel : What?

  Charles McNider : To whom do I have the pleasure of speaking?

  Beth Chapel : I'm... Beth Chapel. Who are you?

  Charles McNider : Beth Chapel. Born May 15, 2004 at Omaha General Hospital to Dr. Bridget Chapel, currently a thoracic surgeon at the Blue Valley Medical Center, and James Michael Chapel, a salesman for The American Dream. Beth Chapel has a 4.4 weighted GPA, 4.0 unweighted.

  Beth Chapel : True.

  Charles McNider : She's the founder and only member of the Blue Valley High student teachers appreciation club.

  Beth Chapel : How do you know everything?

  Charles McNider : I don't know everything. But I can provide information on a vast library of subjects, which I have access to via the Justice Society databanks.

• Charles McNider : You've been stationary for quite some time. Do you need directions home?

  Beth Chapel : No, Chuck. I'd go home, but no one's there. Mom's working a double shift. Dad's out of town on a business trip. They don't have much time for me anymore. Now that I'm older...

  [parroting] 

  Beth Chapel : "They wanna get back to their lives!" But still... you know, I get why Rick's so mad all the time. Losing his parents like that... I can't imagine what I'd do if mine were in some kind of accident.

  Charles McNider : Accident?

  Beth Chapel : [her goggles activate]  What?

  [watching] 

  Beth Chapel : Oh, my god!
