Daphne Powell quotes from No Ordinary Family

Daphne Powell

Oh, J.J., how could a super-genius be so epically stupid?

Jim Powell

When was the last time we did something as a family?

Daphne Powell

Last month when you forced us to play charades, and then you pulled out your back, miming some scene from "Iron Man."

Jim Powell

That was an old sports injury I re-aggravated.

JJ Powell

Who are you texting now?

Daphne Powell

God.

[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.
