I could hear Henry’s thoughts in my head. He had no idea what was going on. He was screaming for it to stop. He was so scared, and I was scared too. I could feel everything he felt. He was lonely, confused, sad. I wasn’t expecting that. He’s not like Cindy or even like his father. I know what he did to Yolanda was awful. I want to ask him to help us. I know it’s a risk, but if he can read minds, he could tell us who else is in the ISA.

Courtney

You’re right dad. People are monsters.

Henry

Barbara: Are you sure you’re OK?
Icicle: I just finished a project I had been working on for some years. It took me all around the globe – London, Toyko, all over the states – but it also cost me quite a bit of time away from my son. Given everything I sacrificed, I was hoping once it was complete that I would feel a sense of accomplishment, but I don’t. Still, it’s nothing a new project won’t fix or time with my family.

Brainwave: When he died I felt better until I read the next mind and the next. Jealousy, rage, spite, deviance. No matter whose mind I peer into vile thoughts fill up their brains and in turn mine. I have learned the truth about humanity: At their very core, people are monsters. I hate them.

Courtney: You were part of another team?
Pat: Yeah, we called ourselves the Seven Soldiers of Victory.
Courtney: There’s Robin Hood, and a knight, and wait, there were eight of you Pat.
Pat: Yeah, we always argued about the name.

Beth: Hey, we have no idea what we’d be walking into or who we’d be up against. There’s a smarter approach to this.
Rick: An eye for an eye is how it works.
Beth: Listen Rick, I’m mad too, but you just need to sit down and cool off.
Rick: Or what? What are you going to do: stare at me?
Beth: You hurt so much you want to hurt everyone else, is that it Rick? I care about Courtney, about both of you, about everyone in Blue Valley, but we should be trying to figure out who Cindy’s parents are before we act.

Courtney: I know it was stupid for me to go off alone, but this could be the break we needed to figure out who’s in the ISA.
Pat: Court, nothing’s worth you getting hurt like this. Do you understand that?

Cindy: I proved myself.
Dragon King: The fact that Stargirl is still alive says the opposite.
Cindy: If you would just listen to me.
Dragon King: I’m done listening, and now instead of focusing on my important work here, I’m forced to explain my daughter’s ill-considered actions to the others. Truthfully, they may never give you a seat at the table now.
Cindy: I didn’t do anything wrong.
Dragon King: She was in the tunnels, Cynthia, and you left her alive.

OK, so we need to talk, er, I do I guess. Look, I know in the past we’ve had our differences and haven’t always seen eye to eye on everything. At times, you know, it seemed like you didn’t even really respect me all that much. As long as I’m speaking honestly, I’ve felt that you were pretty impulsive and reckless, but the thing is, when you came into Starman’s life, he was already an adult, right. Sylvester had been running around as the Star-Spangled Kid for years; he had experience. Sylvester knew what to expect, but Courtney, Courtney’s got a lot to learn. I know you want justice for Sylvester, and I do too, but Courtney could have died tonight. And I’m asking you to protect her. If it gets to be too much, take her away from the danger instead of towards it.

Pat [to Cosmic Staff]

Bobbie: Can I help you?
Beth: I’m a classmate of Cindy’s. She invited me over to teach me some cheerleading moves. I really hope to join the squad eventually. I need lessons.
Bobbie: Well, Cindy’s not home right now.
Pat: OK…
Beth: Who are you?
Pat: I’m her dad. Stepdad.
Beth: I’m adopted.
Pat: Well, when I married her mom, I adopted her, my angel. And I thought when I dropped her off today, I would go ahead and take the opportunity to introduce myself, so hi.

Look, I don’t really do this like ever but I owe you an apology for what happened yesterday. It was just one of those days, you know -- you probably have them all the time -- when you just feel like the world’s against you. Henry was being super weird, and my dad just extra awful, and Jenny, just so ungrateful, and then Cameron asked you to the dance, and you were bailing on me too, and I was like, ‘How is this even possible?’ Anyway, I overreacted, and I’m sorry.

Cindy

Bobbie: What is that you’re wearing?
Beth: These? Oh, my vision is bad, like beyond Lasik bad, so sometimes I wear these.
Pat: She’s actually as blind as a bat. I shouldn’t be laughing, but she can’t see a thing.

Stargirl Quotes

Mike: Good-bye In-N-Out, good-bye friends, good-bye indoor plumbing.
Pat: It’s Nebraska. It’s not Siberia, Mike.
Mike: I looked this place up on Google Earth. Blue Valley doesn’t have jack.
Pat: It’s got fresh air, it’s got friendly people, it’s got schools without metal detectors. The thing is I need your help with this move, OK. I need you to be positive.
Mike: Positive? I am positive.
Pat: Great.
Mike: I’m positive this place will blow ass.

Starman: No, no, it’s over. The Justice Society must live on. Its legacy must survive. Someone with honor and strength must carry the torch.
Pat: I’ll try.
Starman: Not you. Someone with grace and heroism. I mean, you can’t do it. But someone out there will. It’s definitely not you. Pat, you’re a good friend.
