Jordan Calloway: Khalil Payne

Quotes 

• Tobias Whale : [to a sleeping Khalil]  How'd you like the gifts?

  [Khalil wakes up and turns to see Tobias sitting in the shadows by his hospital bed. He starts to reach for the lights] 

  Tobias Whale : You mind keeping the lights off? They hurt my eyes.

  [Khalil lowers his hand from the lights] 

  Tobias Whale : My name is Tobias Whale.

  Khalil Payne : What are you doing in my room?

  Tobias Whale : I wanted to see how you were doing.

  Khalil Payne : Why'd you give me all those gifts?

  Tobias Whale : 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, but, in time, you will. Black Lightning's the reason you're lying here, paralyzed. It was 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 Payne : Why?

  Tobias Whale : Well, I've 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 and, eventually, you get to a point where you don't even feel it. Id you'd like,

  [leans forward] 

  Tobias Whale : I can show you how to kill your pain.
