Blake Ritson: Brainiac

Quotes 

• Brainiac : I'm sorry, Seg-El, but you know I cannot allow you to complete this procedure.

  Seg-El : It's not me. It's Brainiac. He's taking control of my body. You're gonna have to restrain me.

  Val-El : We'll have to do this manually.

  Nyssa-Vex : Okay. Wait. You're not saying that I have do this, are you? Because that would be a really bad idea. Really bad.

  Val-El : Have you used a sonic scalpel?

  Nyssa-Vex : All the time.

  Val-El : Excellent. You'll need to...

  Nyssa-Vex : No, I'm being sarcastic. Of course I've never used a - whatever it is you call it.

  Val-El : Sarcasm, I see. Well, without prior experience, it will certainly be more challenging.

  Nyssa-Vex : No. No, I'm not doing it. I'm sorry. There has to be another way.

  Seg-El : Nyssa. Nyssa, look at me. If there is anything for sure that I know about you, it's that you can do anything you set your mind to. Just believe in yourself... The way I've always believed in you. And you're gonna be fine.

  Nyssa-Vex : Seg, that was a lovely speech. But that is not gonna help me slice you open and remove an alien parasite. Be realistic.

  Seg-El : Realistic? If I asked you to go up to Wegthor and double cross the leaders of the resistance and steal the codex from under the nose of Jax-Ur and bring it back to Krypton, would you call that realistic? What if I asked you to go to House Zod, walk in there unarmed, take our child in your arms, and jump out of a window into a waiting skimmer that's gonna take you away to freedom? Realistic or no? I know you've been struggling with who you really are. What you're really capable of. But if you could see the person that I see when I look at you, you'd never fear anything.

  Nyssa-Vex : How do you always know the right thing to say?

  Seg-El : Well, being raised in the Rankless District means you know how to talk yourself out of trouble.

  Nyssa-Vex : Thank you, Seg.

• Nyssa-Vex : Where are we going?

  Brainiac : An excellent question.

  Seg-El : I can't get into that right now. Please, just trust me.

  Nyssa-Vex : It's Brainiac, isn't it? You can't tell me where we're going because he can hear everything.

  Brainiac : Not just what you say, Seg-El, but what you're thinking, too.

  Seg-El : It's too late. He knows. Nyssa, I need you to listen to me. The only way to make sure that everyone's gonna be safe is to get Brainiac out of me for good. But we cannot go anywhere near his skull ship. If Brainiac reconnects with his quantum consciousness, he'll be too powerful for anyone to stop.
