Eric Ladin: Cole MacGrath

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Cole MacGrath : Dropped out of college and got a job as a bike courier. Mostly just to piss off my parents. I was someone you'd never notice. Just a guy delivering packages to folks you'd never know. And then one day... a package found me.

  [explosion] 

  Cole MacGrath : Thousands died. Five square blocks smashed into rubble... And at the centre... was me. Alive... but changed. But no one could have seen what was coming. Back then, Empire City was in quarantine. It had gone to hell. Other people with powers started showing up, and it was my job to sort through it all. Find out who had given me that package, and why. Hell, even my best friend turned his back on me to try to get powers of his own. But in the end I found the man responsible. Kessler. He explained everything through a vision of the future. A Beast is coming. A monster only I can defeat, provided that I am strong and ready to face him. A month later, I met Lucy Kuo. She somehow knew all about the Beast, in fact... she had come to help me prepare. Claimed a friend, Dr. Wolfe, had worked on the Ray Sphere prototype. And that he could amplify my powers. All I had to do was go with her down to New Marais. I need those powers. The Beast is coming. And I will be ready.

• Cole MacGrath : Oh do you really think I'm the demon?

  Cole MacGrath : [Mocking Bertrand's southern accent]  The demon of empire city?

• [a Devourer charges into the city] 

  Laroche : Hey listen man, you don't have to prove that your brave or nothin'. That thing's way too big, even for you.

  Cole MacGrath : [Dismissively]  Yeah.

  Laroche : Do what I'm doing - run!

  Cole MacGrath : Yeah, yeah, yeah.

• Cole MacGrath : [Zeke is having a coughing fit]  You alright?

  Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : Yeah! Fit as a fiddle.

  Cole MacGrath : ...That's a big-ass fiddle.

  [Zeke pats his belly and shrugs] 

• [Zeke is blending into a crowd of Bertrand-supporters] 

  Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : [Unenthusiastically]  Yeah. Go Bertrand.

  Cole MacGrath : What'd I miss?

  Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : Well ol' Bertrand here was just calling you the devil.

  Cole MacGrath : Oh, nice!

• Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : Half as long...

  [Zeke clinks his bottle with Cole's Blast Core] 

  Cole MacGrath : ...Twice as bright.

• Cole MacGrath : Password for the clubhouse?

  Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : "Don't shoot my ass!"

  Cole MacGrath : Don't shoot my ass!

  Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : Entree vous.

• Cole MacGrath : I'm gonna think this over. You guys get ready to act!

  Kuo : [Cole leaves, slamming the door shut]  Think... what - Cole!

• [Nix is sitting at the end of the pier] 

  Cole MacGrath : Better watch those feet. Gators aren't the worst things in the water these days.

  Nix : Too bad. Nice day for a skinny dip.

  Cole MacGrath : Oooh. Go right ahead. I'm not stopping you.

• Kuo : McGrath.

  Cole MacGrath : Hey, Kuo... listen. I know you're probably pissed at me...

  Kuo : It happened. Okay, it happened. You chose Nix. Obviously the wrong choice, but... you're a guy, and guys suck at thinking with their brains.

• [Nix gained control of some swamp monsters] 

  Nix : That's it! This batch is all mine. Just think of what we can do with my babies, man!

  Cole MacGrath : How about we butcher Bertrand? Wasn't that the plan?

  Nix : Nah, nah, first I'm going back to the swamp. I'm gonna spend some quality time with them.

  Cole MacGrath : "Quality time"? Wow, never would've pegged you as a soccer mom.

• [Cole, Zeke, and Kuo are going to New Marais to gain new powers to fight The Beast] 

  Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : Come on, man! You deserve to relax! We're going to New Marais!

  Cole MacGrath : Hey, I need to be back here and ready when it shows up, Zeke.

  Kuo : Trust me, Cole, you will be ready when you're done working with Dr. Wolfe.

  Zeke Jedediah Dunbar : Work? Ha! Easy, Kuo. When we get there, we're gonna be about the "Three B's." That's beer... boobs... and mechanical bulls.

• Kuo : I spotted one of Wolfe's carrier pigeons up near the top of the Clock Tower. I need you to get it.

  Cole MacGrath : Sure, but ah... why?

  Kuo : Well, when Wolfe was undercover with the First Sons, he used messenger birds to smuggle reports to his NSA contact. Which was me.

  Cole MacGrath : So, he's not like your significantly older boyfriend, or something like that?

  Kuo : I think the term you're looking for here is "father figure."

  Cole MacGrath : Hey, it's cool. I'm not going to judge you.

• Cole MacGrath : [shooting a behemoth in the mouth]  Pucker up, bitch!
