Quotes 

• Jensen : What did you do to me?

  Agent Liberty : It was intended as a gift.

  Jensen : It hurts. Everything hurts.

  Agent Liberty : Come with me.

• Agent Liberty : You can absorb any alien's abilities and utterly destroy the alien in the process.

  Jensen : I can do that?

  Agent Liberty : That's right, my friend. And that makes you the most valuable asset in the war to save humanity.

• Jensen : Something's wrong. I touch them, and I get a rush of power, then it fizzles.

  Agent Liberty : Well, then find another. You need to keep feeding.

  Jensen : I can't move fast enough to keep myself powered. Help me.

  Agent Liberty : [thinking]  All right. Raymond, the Children of Liberty, our reach is long. I will cast a net and we will find a solution. Humans won't let humans down. I promise.

• Jensen : Help me. I'm shriveling up.

  Agent Liberty : No. You won't. Because a Child of Liberty has come forward with a solution. And with it, you will be able to take the invaders' powers and never lose them. You will become invincible, the human weapon that will rid this planet of all roaches. Mankind's true hero.

• Ben Lockwood : I was just, uh... my table's in the back.

  Lena Luthor : I doubt we're seated at the same table.

  James Olsen : And this event is for members of...

  Ben Lockwood : The mainstream media? Yeah, that's probably why they seated me in the back.

• Ben Lockwood : Listen, I owe you two an apology. I wasn't in the best place when last our paths crossed, but, uh... well, things... things are much better.

  Lena Luthor : Excuse me. I'm gonna get a drink.

  [to James] 

  Lena Luthor : See you in a few minutes.

  James Olsen : Make that two, please.

• Ben Lockwood : You know, I was just talking about you on my show recently.

  James Olsen : So I heard. And just to be clear, you and I do not represent the same things.

  Ben Lockwood : Hmm. Far be it for James Olsen to listen to an opinion that is not his own.

  James Olsen : I listen to opinions that are not my own. But what I heard in your show was full of discrimination and hate, and that's when I stopped listening.

  Ben Lockwood : I see. So this is the part where you and others like you start making crass generalizations based on ignorance and stereotype.

  James Olsen : And you forgot the part where people like me walk away.

• Ben Lockwood : People are concerned, James. People have alien whiplash. I mean, I understand the Super cousins. They protect us, kind of. But look, the last three disasters this country has seen have all been of alien origin. Now, Guardian... Guardian, that's what I want to talk to you about. That is a symbol of human hope.

  James Olsen : I want no part of that.

  Ben Lockwood : Do not shut these people out, James. Can't you see people who think this way, they're not crazy? They're scared. And they need those fears acknowledged, and when they are not, when they get shut down, like you're doing right now, it just... it drives them deeper into darkness.

  James Olsen : Let me be very clear about something, Professor. You will not lay this at my feet.

• [last lines] 

  James Olsen : Did I catch you at a bad time?

  Ben Lockwood : No, you just caught me in the middle of some car trouble.

  James Olsen : Look, I've been thinking about what you said. Do you have time to talk?

  Ben Lockwood : Do I have time to talk? Hey, for you, friend, I got all the time in the world. What's on your mind?
