- Charles McNider: Now... let's focus on stopping Eclipso before he executes whatever plan he's concocting.
- Pat Dugan: I mean, what plan would that be beyond revenge?
- Charles McNider: Eclipso wants power, first and foremost. Whatever he's doing, no matter how personal it may appear, is always in service to that one goal.
- Pat Dugan: And he isn't in any host this time.
- Charles McNider: Good. Because as powerful as Eclipso might be, he's also vulnerable.
- Pat Dugan: How so?
- Charles McNider: He doesn't have a host acting as a shield anymore. Nor the diamond. He's a being of darkness. What do you suppose injures darkness?
- Pat Dugan: Light.
- Charles McNider: Especially when it's wielded by those who carry the light within themselves, that channel hope, like your stepdaughter. You said the staff hurt Eclipso.
- Pat Dugan: Yeah, and Eclipso also hurt the staff. But I think it's making a full recovery.
- Charles McNider: And Green Lantern's daughter?
- Pat Dugan: Well, Jennie's still learning how to use the ring. I really don't know if these kids are ready for this.
- Charles McNider: Are you sure? Because what I know of Beth Chapel, she is.
- Cindy Burman: All right. All right. I admit it. Taking the black diamond was a big oops on my part.
- Courtney Whitmore: It was more than an oops.
- Barbara Whitmore: It was really, really, really... bad.
- Mike Dugan: Have you ever heard of the Justice Society of America?
- Jakeem Williams: Is that like the Boy Scouts? Because I'm really bad at tying knots.
- Charles McNider: It fits.
- Pat Dugan: Yeah. But I got something a lot more comfortable than an old suit.
- Charles McNider: I'm comfortable in a suit.
