J.J. Powell quotes from No Ordinary Family

JJ Powell

What's going on? Oh. Talking about your new, cool powers. Well, keep me updated on the costume design.

J.J. Powell

[after Daphne read his mind] And do you remember I had that sign on my door that says "no trespassing"? Imagine that on my forehead. Keep out!

JJ Powell

Who are you texting now?

Daphne Powell

God.

What am I gonna do? My life is over. We used protection and everything.

JJ

It's not that bad. It's gonna be okay. Condoms are only effective 98% of the time. If women are fertile 37 to 42 percent of the time, application of standard deviation actually raises your odds of pregnancy to...

JJ...

JJ

Yeah, buddy?

Stop trying to make me feel better, man.

You're quite intuitive, Mr. Powell, and it's because of this intuitive genius that I am inviting you to join :the academic decathlon team. As you may know, I am the team's adviser, and I believe it would be a great challenge for you.

JJ

I seriously doubt that.

So... you're not interested?

JJ

You're quite intuitive yourself, Mr. Litchfield.

JJ

Mr. Litchfield, I couldn't help but notice that my packet has different practice problems than the rest of the team.

Giving you the same work as them would be like asking Stephen Hawking to play Chutes & Ladders.

[points gun at Daphne] I'm running out of patience, J.J.

J.J. Powell

I already told you everything. I swear.

And somehow I don't believe.

Daphne Powell

J.J., please!

J.J. Powell

I'm sorry. I just can't think, okay? Stress overstimulates the hippocampus, my glucocorticoid receptors haven't been this saturated since... Since the plane crash. Oh, my God. Look, I know why our powers are permanent. Please, just let my family go, and I'll tell you everything you wanna know. I promise.

J.J., I will. I will let them all go.

J.J. Powell

Okay, you've been mixing the trilsettum with epinephrine - synthetic adrenaline - but what you need was real adrenaline. Now the serum wasn't wrong, the circumstances were. Look, in moments of extreme stress, like life and death, like a plane crash, the receptors in the hippo campus are wide open. And the trilsettum can be absorbed enough for its effects to become permanent. So please...

Thank you, J.J. You have been most helpful.

Give me ten seconds, then put a bullet in each of them.
