Supreme Power

"The Blur [seeing a dead woman]: Fucking A."

"Doctor Spectrum [to Hyperion, who asks how Michael Redstone can even be taken into custody]: Because they built it to hold you if it ever became necessary."

"Soldier [about Michael Redstone]: So, General Alexander...now what do we do with him?"

"Nighthawk: What mattered was bringing him to justice, in a court of law, where the families of the people he killed could get some fucking closure."

"Hyperion: We never could have brought him in alive! The only way to bring him into a courtroom is if we dragged in his body and propped it up on the judge's desk!"

"Nighthawk:...You know what? I got no problem with that. No problem at all."

"Nighthawk: A long time ago, my dad heard Malcolm X speak at a church in Memphis. He said that during the slave days, you had the House Negro, and the Field Negro. The House Negro lived in the master's house, ate the same food as the master, lived in a warm room, usually in the basement. If the master got a cold, he was right there to help out, all cheerful and friendly because he wanted his own life to be good and that meant making the master happy. The Field Negro ate whatever scraps the dogs didn't eat, lived out in a cold shack was beaten and kicked--And when the master got sick, he prayed every day the master would die. Didn't matter if the master was technically a nice guy or not. The master represented the system, and it was the system he hated."

"Nighthawk: Our backgrounds may not line up, but as much as I like Stan, he's a house Negro. And I'm a field Negro. And that's never going to--[realizes Stanley has heard the conversation] change..."

"The Blur: Fuck. You."

"Doctor Spectrum: No, sir. Like all good Americans, I get all my news from the Internet."

"Hyperion: I heard somebody tell an old joke the other day. Where does a five-hundred-pound gorilla sit? Answer: anywhere he wants to."

"The Blur: Am I gonna regret this?"

"Hyperion: Almost certainly."

"The Blur: Raised in a bubble? Man, I can't even imagine what's that like."

"Hyperion: It took me a long time to realize that they were conditioning me to be the perfect citizen. Guess I didn't want to accept it at first, even though I kind of suspected it all along. They knew they couldn't intimidate me, knew how strong I was, so they trained me to respect the law because the law is a concept, and as such it was the only thing bigger and stronger than I was. But that concept was only as strong as my belief in it."

"Tom Thumb [seen in a flashback]: Hey! What the fuck are you looking?"

"General Richard Alexander: The question is simply this. Why? Why do you kill, Mr. Redstone?"

"Michael Redstone: Because I can. Because I'm good at it. And Because--because I like it."

"General Richard Alexander: Smart bombs and dumb politicians do not a happy marriage make."

"Lucy Alexander: Is it broke? Are you fixing it?"

"General Richard Alexander: No. I'm taking it apart."

"Lucy Alexander: Why?"

"General Richard Alexander: To see what's inside."

"Bar keeper: Anything? Anything at all?"

"Hyperion: No."

"Bar keeper: That's fifteen beers, nine tequila shooters and three margaritas. Not even a buzz?"

"Bar keeper: Dude, now that's a heart-breaker."

"Hyperion's mother [to Jason Scott]: The world has to know... he can't be trusted. Because he's not one of us. He's...He's not Human."

"General Richard Alexander: Hello, Mark. General Richard Alexander. Mind if I join you?"

"Hyperion: It's a free country. At least that's what I was told growing up, but it turns out that a lot of what I was taught isn't true."

"Hyperion: I've decided I'm outside the system."

"General Richard Alexander: And what exactly does that mean?"

"Doctor Spectrum: No...the children must not fight...the children must not fight...the--What the--!? Kingsley...?"

"Zarda: Better. Beautiful. Better. A new beginning. A fresh start. A new...me."

"[a letter writen by Hyperion read by General Richard Alexander ]:"

"Arcanna [Trying to explain her powers to the Shape]: What's in the bowl in front of you?"

"The Shape: Macaroni and cheese, the man said"

"Arcanna: Ah, that's what he said, but until you open the bowl, how do you know?"

"The Shape: Are you saying he lied?"

"Arcanna: No, I--"

"The Shape: Because that would be mean--"

"Emil Burbank: Someone kill me now."

"Doctor Spectrum: What do you see?"

"Hyperion[Hovering in the air looking at the ravaged Ugandan village from above]: I see...Pretty much what I've come to expect of mankind."

"Doctor Spectrum: Yeah, whatever."

"Inertia[asking Joe Ledger about Nuke]: Hey, Joe...How come Al isn't getting into the fight? He's gonna miss all the fun."

"Doctor Spectrum: We don't want to casually irradiate the area, so he's doing what all good tactical nukes do - Hanging over our heads as a last resort."

"The Shape [On possessed Kingsley attacking him]: Fishie lady hurt Shape."

"Emil Burbank: Yes, so she did...And that certainly places her behaviour in the plus column...But I'm putting her down anyway."

"Staff Sergeant: We sent Ms. Kingsley to our Dolphin Research Center in South Carolina. Just to see if she could communicate with us any way other than through Corporal Ledger. (Shot of Kingsley swimming with dolphins, clearly enjoying herself) *Staff Sergeant: (voiceover) According to what I'm told - she's not taking her work too seriously."
