Tobias and Khalil in “Unfinished Business”

Tobias

How'd you like the gifts? [Khalil stretches towards the light switch] You mind keeping the lights off? They hurt my eyes. My name is Tobias Whale.

Khalil

What are you doing in my room?

Tobias

I wanted to see how you were doing.

Khalil

Why'd you give me all those gifts?

Tobias

I understand what you're going through. Black Lightning messed my life up too. I wanted you to have some nice things to keep your mind off your troubles. I know it's hard to see now, but in time you will. Black Lightning's the reason you're lying here paralyzed. There were many times when I was younger I needed help, but no one showed up. I don't want to have to see you go through the same thing.

Khalil

Why?

Tobias

Well, I followed your athletic career a long time and it hurt me to see you hurt. But what I've learned about pain is pain makes you stronger, pain makes you tougher. Eventually you get to a point where you don't even feel it. If you'd like, I can show you how to cure your pain.
