Jennifer: I know what you’re gonna say. You’re gonna side with Dad and say that I need to be responsible.
Anissa: Hell no! Look, Tobias has to go! But what I do agree with Dad is that Tobias is dangerous and we can’t be running around half-cocked with no plan. We cannot take Tobias down if he kills us first.
Jennifer: Wait, did you just say “we”?
Anissa: You thought I was going to let you go out there alone?

Agent Odell: Dr. Stewart will not be joining us, Dr. Jace. She wants you nowhere near the pod kids.
Dr. Jace: But it was my suggestion to bring her back in! This is the thanks I get? Ungrateful little b****.
Agent Odell: You’ll remain in A.S.A. custody at this facility to keep you safe from the Markovians. And also, since you’re moving the pods, I’m going to need your expertise ... just in case.
Dr. Jace: In case of what?
Agent Odell: In case the Markovians kill or abduct Dr. Stewart.

Anissa: My gut is telling me she’s in trouble. I just want to know that she’s okay.
Gambi: It sounds a lot deeper than just dating.
Anissa: Well, folks always say, “You never know what you have until it’s gone.”
Gambi: That’s true.

Gambi: Like Perenna said, she is powerful. Extremely powerful.
Jefferson: With all she’s been through, I don’t think she’s stable enough to keep her powers in check.
Jennifer: Dad...
Jefferson: Yeah?
Jennifer: You know Anissa taught me how to read lips, right?
[Awkward silence]
Jennifer: So, thank you for your vote of confidence. I appreciate it.

Grace: Anissa, when I’m with you, I can’t control myself.
Anissa: I know, and it’s amazing.
Grace: No, you don’t understand.
Anissa: Then explain it to me. I’m here listening.
Grace: I have to go!
[Grace walks away in the opposite direction]
Anissa: Did I say something wrong? Grace! What did I do?!

Principal Lowry: Will you tell them to get off their butts and get back to class?
[Students sit on the ground and raise their arm/fist in protest]
Jefferson: Sounds like the principal’s job.
[Jefferson raises his arm and walks away]

Anissa: I’ve done all the things ... all the things Dad said would get me killed.
Gambi: You want to do good, I get it. But you have to think of how much bad you’d do for your family if you lost your life.
Anissa: Yeah, I am.
Gambi: And what a waste it would be if you lost your life before you were able to build it.

Odell: Make it quick.
Lynn: Why are you having me followed? Are you following my whole family? My research team?
Odell: And here I thought you were happy to be alive and came here to thank me for saving your life.
Lynn: I do thank you.
Odell: How’s your daughter?
Lynn: She’s fine. They didn’t shoot her. She fainted, so it looked like she did.
Odell: Fortunate. Dr. Stewart, you have been invaluable to the pod kids, but you’re still not being honest with me ... and I don’t have time for it.

Anissa: She wants time to be alone.
Lynn: Alone is good until it’s not good. Isolation feeds depression and addiction. I feel she needs her family right now.
Anissa: You and Dad always think you know what’s best for us. What if it’s not true? What if ... every once in a while we know what’s best for us?
[Anissa gets shot]
Lynn: Anissa! Oh my God!

Tobias: Damn, I guess orange is the new black. Long time no see.
Dr. Jace: And yet we both look the same.
Tobias: Indeed.
Dr. Jace: You never thanked me for creating the anti-aging serum that’s kept us both so young.
Tobias: True dat. Maybe that’s because when you gave me this serum, you didn’t know it would keep me from aging or kill me. The day I thank a crazy scientist for experimenting on my a** is the day I day.

Henderson: I’ll be seeing you again.
[Tobias laughs]
Tobias: Awww, don’t go away mad, Deputy Chief. Just go away!

Jennifer: Mom, the pods! We could put Khalil in a pod and in hibernation until we can figure out how to help him. Think about it, those vaccine kids, they survived in pods for over 30 years, we could do the same thing with Khalil.
Lynn: He’s enhanced; he’s not a metahuman. I couldn’t survive in one of those pods. I’m not sure he could either.
Jennifer: Maybe not, but we have to try?

Black Lightning Season 2 Quotes

Lynn: Look, I know this has been a lot. Finding out about your dad and Anissa, and discovering you have powers must be mind-blowing on so many levels. But you can’t isolate yourself and not talk about it.
Jennifer: What do you want me to say?
Lynn: That you’re going to commit to finding a way to deal with this.
Jennifer: Dealing with what? The fact that I float in my sleep? Or that Dad died ... twice? Are you dealing with the fact that you shot someone with a shotgun? Or that Gambi killed a man? Or that I electrocuted somebody who might be died now? Which part do you want me to deal with first, Mom?!

Agent Odell: I’m not really interested in how much you’ve been studying now. I prefer you answer my question.
Lynn: Excuse me, I would like to finish my answer. I‘ve been studying green light for some time now, and I understand its components and neurological effects better than anyone.
Agent Odell: What happened to the other scientist managing the pods?
Lynn: When we arrived no one was there, just the children in those pods.
Agent Odell: So, I guess he went to the same place as, umm, the surveillance footage and Agent Proctor?
[Lynn looks away]
Detective Odell: This is useless. I’m done here. You’re not allowed to leave town or talk to anybody about this until the investigation is over. And, your access to the pods is finished.
Lynn: What? Did you not hear what I said?! I understand green light and these children better than anyone.
[He leans forward]
Detective Odell: You’re a liar. You’ve been sitting here lying to me for about an hour and a half. You know you’re lying; you’re not going to admit it, and I don’t like liars. Not because they lie, because we all lie, but because they make my job harder, and I’ve got enough cow manure to deal with than to have you make my life more ... difficult. Thank you for your cooperation, Dr. Stewart.
[He gets up and leaves]
