- Ben Tennyson: [to Gwen] You know why you lost? Because you care about not hurting me, and that's EXACTLY why you can't do what it takes to deal with Kevin.
- Kevin Levin: Shouldn't have let you go. You were doin' me a favor. Only one of us is walkin' away from this, Tennyson, and it's not going to be... Alan!
- [Kevin fires at Alan]
- Kevin Levin: Your time is comin', Tennyson.
- Ben Tennyson: Wake up and smell the end of the world, Gwen. He's out of control.
- Gwen Tennyson: He's our friend!
- Ben Tennyson: *Was* our friend.
- Gwen Tennyson: We can't let Ben destroy Kevin. We've gotta find a way to cure him.
- Max Tennyson: Ben is right.
- Gwen Tennyson: I know. He... Wait! WHAT?
- Max Tennyson: You are a Plumber, Gwen! A lot of people are depending on you. You've got to put your feelings aside and do what's right.
- Gwen Tennyson: This is Kevin we're talking about.
- Max Tennyson: If you can't be a professional, then just stay out of the way and let Ben do what needs to be done.
- Gwen Tennyson: But, Grandpa...
- Max Tennyson: I can't help you, Gwen.
- Gwen Tennyson: Then I'll find someone who can.
- Max Tennyson: Kevin's a menace. Your friendship aside, the only responsible move is to take him down with all necessary force.
- Ben Tennyson: Then I don't understand why you're talking to me.
- Max Tennyson: It's the logical move. It's the safest move. It's the sensible move.
- Ben Tennyson: But?
- Max Tennyson: It's not the Ben move. You trust people, you give them second chances, and they live up to your expectations. Kevin was a sociopath when you were kids, but you trusted him anyway.
- Ben Tennyson: Look how that worked out.
- Max Tennyson: He's turned into a fine young man - a hero a dozen times over.
- Ben Tennyson: But now he's a monster.
- Max Tennyson: True - and I'd put him down like a mad dog - but I never thought YOU would. You always find another way.
- Ben Tennyson: When I thought you were dead, I had to do a lot of growing up.
- Max Tennyson: You did fine.
- Ben Tennyson: For a while, but then I let my fame go to my head. I've been as big a jerk these past few months as I ever was.
- [very long pause]
- Ben Tennyson: Aren't you gonna argue with me?
- Max Tennyson: Not when you're right.
- Ben Tennyson: I've had fun, but I always told myself that when the situation got serious, so would I.
- Max Tennyson: I'm not going to argue with you, Ben. I just wanted to make sure you'd really thought about this.
- Ben Tennyson: I have, Grandpa. I'm sorry about what's going to happen to Kevin - really, I am - but this isn't kid stuff anymore. Play time's over.
- Ben Tennyson: You brought Darkstar into this? And he's going to act like our friend again, right?
- Gwen Tennyson: He's the only one who can help Kevin.
- Ben Tennyson: Sure.
- Mike Morningstar: But I CAN help because you don't understand Kevin and *I* do.
- Gwen Tennyson: Hard to believe you've been reduced to draining energy out of dogs in back alleys.
- Mike Morningstar: We all do what we must to survive.
- Alan Albright: I got off easy. You should've seen what he did to the others.
- Ben Tennyson: Pierce? Helen?
- Alan Albright: And Manny. And some guy named Dr. Viktor. I didn't understand what Kevin wanted from us - until now.
- Ben Tennyson: Your energy. And he's never gonna stop... unless I stop him... for good.
- Mike Morningstar: We both have an insatible craving for energy.
- Ben Tennyson: And you're evil.
- Gwen Tennyson: Kevin's not evil. Somewhere deep down he's still our friend.
- Mike Morningstar: No, lovely Gwen, he's not your friend anymore. He just looks like him. He's... an empty shell, knowing only a hunger that must be fed. That craving is his weakness.
- Kevin Levin: You shouldn't have come here!
- Kevin Levin: [cries out in anguish] Don't you realize I've been trying to stay away from you?
- Gwen Tennyson: Why?
- Kevin Levin: Because I knew what I'd do to you if I had the chance!
