Quotes 

• Rick Tyler : So, you think you're all superheroes, huh? So you're Stargirl. You're...

  Yolanda Montez : Wildcat.

  Rick Tyler : And she's...

  Yolanda Montez : [before Beth can say anything]  Just borrowing those for the night.

  Rick Tyler : Right. So, what can this "magic" hourglass do?

  Beth Chapel : It's science. Your dad invented it. The hourglass gave your dad super-strength. For one hour a day.

  Rick Tyler : One hour? So the other 23 hours he was what, just some dude?

  Beth Chapel : He was a brilliant chemist! You know, that hourglass only worked for your dad. It was tied to his DNA.

  Rick Tyler : How do you turn it on?

  Beth Chapel : How do you use any hourglass? You turn it over.

  [as he puts it around his neck and turns it over, its powers surge through him] 

  Rick Tyler : So, super-strength, huh?

  Courtney Whitmore : [he picks up and crumples a beer keg with ease]  Uh... hey, you... you really shouldn't test out your powers in public. Our identities are...

  Beth Chapel : Protecting them is Superhero 101. And you need a costume. Technically, we all do. Since it's Halloween...

  Rick Tyler : I'm not wearing a stupid costume. You guys, do whatever you want. I'm doing my own thing.

• Courtney Whitmore : You can't just take the hourglass.

  Rick Tyler : Yes, I can. It was my dad's, right? Now it's mine. Later.

  Yolanda Montez : Congrats. You just made the biggest delinquent in school an unstoppable beast.

  Courtney Whitmore : I'm not giving up yet. We can still get through to him.

  Yolanda Montez : Seems like he's done listening. And how do we make him?

  Courtney Whitmore : We can't when we're dressed like this.

  Beth Chapel : [excited]  Let's go suit up!

  Courtney Whitmore : Thanks, Beth, but we'll take it from here. Okay? Things could get really dangerous.

• Yolanda Montez : Oh, it's well known that talking is Beth Chapel's super-power.

  Beth Chapel : It's true.

• Courtney Whitmore : We have to ramp up our search, Yolanda. We can't take on the entire Injustice Society ourselves. Who can we ask?

  Yolanda Montez : What about Artemis Crock? She's the best athlete in the whole school.

  Courtney Whitmore : I thought about her, but she's too...

  [seeing Artemis tackle a football jock] 

  Courtney Whitmore : ...competitive.

• Yolanda Montez : Okay, question. If the ISA is a bunch of murdering freaks, shouldn't we be looking beyond Blue Valley High?

  Courtney Whitmore : We can't trust adults. Anyone in Blue Valley could be a member of the Injustice Society.

• Beth Chapel : So, you want to find Rick. Chuck tracked his phone from his house to a liquor store on Highway 4 to... Cindy Burman's house. There are 116 people at this location. 99.1% are minors. One adult. Number of underage drinking infractions: 80.

  Yolanda Montez : Okay, narc. I'm going home. This is a bad idea.

  Courtney Whitmore : Don't go, Yolanda. This is a huge deal. Rick's like me. His dad was a member of the JSA. He's a legacy! The... this is beyond exciting!

  Yolanda Montez : [seeing Henry King, Jr inside]  Okay. Well, I'm not going in there.

  Courtney Whitmore : I'll go find Rick.

• Stargirl : We just wanna talk.

  Rick Tyler : Look, I'm not playing fairy princess tea time with you two.

  Stargirl : I understand.

  Rick Tyler : What do you understand? My parents hit a tree and they died. What grand plan of God's was that?

  Wildcat : It wasn't God's plan, Rick. It was an accident.

  Rick Tyler : Then who do I blame, huh? Do you know what it's like to be so filled up with anger that you feel like you're poisoning yourself? Do you? I want to hit something, anything, all of the time. Every second. You think I like that? I hate feeling this way.

  Stargirl : My dad was a member of the Justice Society, too. He was Starman. And... even though I only met him a few times, I feel cheated. He was killed before I even got to know him. But now I get to keep his legacy alive. And you can, too. You can be a hero like your dad. Hourman. It's your choice.

  Rick Tyler : My choice?

  [in a fit of anger, he punches the tree where his parents crashed, which then topples over] 

  Rick Tyler : When have I ever had a choice? Be a hero like my dad? My dad's dead.

• Yolanda Montez : When you called and said you'd found a new recruit, I wasn't exactly expecting Beth Chapel. Why'd you choose her to be the new Captain Midnight?

  Courtney Whitmore : Dr. Mid-Nite. I didn't choose her. She just found the goggles and got them working. And she hasn't stopped talking ever since.
