Quotes
-
Tobias Whale : I hear your man went all theatrical. Burning lightning bolts on the side of buildings and whatnot. Such a goon.
Lynn Pierce : How do you know about that?
Tobias Whale : I have my ways. I always have my ways. So, like I said, Dr. Stewart... You want to be my friend?
Lynn Pierce : What do you want?
Tobias Whale : I want a list of every meta in this place, complete with their particular set of powers.
Lynn Pierce : I can't do that.
Tobias Whale : Oh. I think you can. And... I think you will.
-
Tobias Whale : [to Lynn] Have you been reading Michelle Obama's book lately? You're sure becoming very assertive.
-
Tobias Whale : Dr. Stewart. I was beginning to think you didn't love me anymore. What, no witty comeback? Did somebody wake up on the light socket this morning.
Lynn Pierce : I'm not here to talk to you, Tobias. I'm just here to check you're healing properly, so I can harvest another round of marrow.
Tobias Whale : So you can cure the pod kids.
Lynn Pierce : I didn't say anything about the pod kids.
Tobias Whale : You didn't have to. Helping them would be the only reason Odell pulled me out of the hole I was in. You know you can't trust him, right? So, whatever he promised you...
Lynn Pierce : But I suppose I can trust you?
Tobias Whale : I'm a true friend, Dr. Stewart. I'd much rather stab you in the front, whereas Odell... Well, you get the metaphor.
Lynn Pierce : We're not friends, Tobias. You're a lab rat I can use and discard as I please.
Tobias Whale : You want to be my friend, Dr. Stewart, because friends keep their friends' secrets.
Lynn Pierce : I'm tired of your empty threats. You're on lock down with no access to the outside world. You're never going to see the light of day again.

Tobias Whale : Doctor, I always knew you'd do the right thing, and they say black woman are difficult. I think, like most Negroes, they just need the proper motivation.
Lynn Pierce : You're a monster, do you know that?
Tobias Whale : You may think I'm a monster, but I'm nothing compared to Odell. You have to clue who he is, do you?
Lynn Pierce : You're just trying to get inside my head.
