Anissa Pierce quotes from Black Lightning

Anissa

Alright, whatchu see?

Lynn

It's not a malfunction.

Anissa

Okay, do Dad's scans look like this?

Lynn

No they don't. Jefferson's like a battery. He takes electricity from the source and channels it through his body. According to this MRI, Jennifer's a generator.

Anissa

What are you saying?

Lynn

Her cells are creating pure energy.

Anissa

So, he says the A.S.A. is gonna be looking to kill us.

Jefferson

They are.

Anissa

So then, I don't know, shouldn't we all just get along?

Jefferson

Can we all just get along.

Anissa

What?

Jefferson

Rodney King asked "can we all get along". It's an existential question, rather than a directive.

Anissa

Okay, so can we?

Jefferson

I don't know.

Gambi

The order came to move Jefferson. We're out of time.

Anissa

Okay, we go with your plan.

Gambi

Anissa, I want to save your dad as much as you, but you need to understand: the tech we're using is a prototype, put together in half a day with parts I cannibalized from the sanctum.

Anissa

And?

Gambi

It's untested, it may not work.

Anissa

But it might. Look, I can't lose my dad, and at this point, we're the only hope he's got.

Gambi

You have to do exactly as I tell you. One misstep–

Anissa

There ain't gonna be no missteps. Just walk me through it. I got this.

Gambi

Jeff, even if you win, the ASA isn't gonna disappear. If they think there's some kind of meta-human arms race, they are gonna keep coming after you. Your best option would be to take off, make a life somewhere with your family.

Anissa

Whoa, and turn our back on the people? On Freeland?

Jennifer

Let them make us leave? Nuh-uh, they don't know us.

Lynn

I'll help in any way I can.

Jefferson

So that's it, then. High-low tactics.

Anissa

Let's do this.
