- Luke Cage: Pop's death is still on you.
- Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes: Step off. Before you get hurt.
- Luke Cage: Why? I'm just getting started.
- Luke Cage: Since I can't touch the king, I'm gonna take his queen, his knights... his rooks... I'm knocking all his pieces off the board.
- Bobby Fish: Where you goin' now?
- Luke Cage: Check these fools.
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: See... I thought you didn't have a boyfriend because you love the brothers, and not many brothers can get with a girl who carry a gun and kick their ass. But that's not the reason.
- Misty Knight: Oh, so now you're an expert?
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: The reason is you're a Celtics fan living in New York City.
- Misty Knight: I like the Pistons.
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: *groans* Oh shit!
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: Other than mopping up blood... and arresting the same piece of shit over and over, you know, not much we can do as cops.
- Misty Knight: Jesus, Scarfe, whose side are you on?
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: I saw the Incident up close. What we can do as cops, what we can't do. Now, unless this sidearm that I'm wearing suddenly turns into some kind of magic hammer... this whole job is irrelevant
- Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes: Let me worry about the street shit. You're just the laundromat for the money.
- Mariah Dillard: Uh, no, I'm not. I'm the face on the money.
- Cornell 'Cottonmouth' Stokes: So what's that make me? Loose change?
- Luke Cage: You're absolutely right. I'm not gonna touch him. Not the way I should. Since I can't touch the king, I'm gonna take his queen, his knights... his rooks... I'm knocking all his pieces off the board.
- Wilfredo 'Chico' Diaz: Are you crazy? man, Crispus Attucks is like a fortress. I mean, they got concrete walls, cats with machine guns, machetes, dark hallways... One entrance, one exit. It's like a beehive of misery.
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: I don't like paperwork, but I'd rather get a paper cut on my finger than get a bullet in my ass!
- Misty Knight: They talking?
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: Nah. "I ain't see shit. " It's the catchphrase of the day.
- Misty Knight: Classic. I should get that trademarked. You know how many times I hear that?
- Detective Rafael Scarfe: Nah. I can't hear shit either.
- Misty Knight: Talk to us. Talk to a grand jury. You can save lives, Wilfredo. Step up.
- Wilfredo 'Chico' Diaz: Well, the streets will handle it. Just like they always do.
