J'onn J'onzz : Man, you picked the wrong house.
Manchester Black : Don't think so. Man your age lives alone. No personal history to be found. A bit dodgy, that. Red flags. So, tell me, J'onn J'onzz, how do you know Fiona?
J'onn J'onzz : You're her fiancé.
Manchester Black : That I am. Luckiest man in the world. Only Fiona dropped off the radar. Not like her. And you seemed to have spent some time following her about.
J'onn J'onzz : Fiona is just a friend.
Manchester Black : Well, friend, I'll ask you once more. Where is she?
J'onn J'onzz : [his eyes glowing red as Black grabs him] Today is not the day to push me.
Manchester Black : Not from around here, are we? Relax, man. Weren't going to hurt you.

J'onn J'onzz : We're on the same side.
Manchester Black : This is Fi's handwriting.
J'onn J'onzz : Yeah, it's a badge number. And this is the cop it belongs to. Fiona was looking into him. And I tried to follow up, but I got derailed. Family emergency.
Manchester Black : Officer Petrocelli. What, thorns in his garden?
J'onn J'onzz : I think so.
Manchester Black : Then I am just buzzing to meet him.
J'onn J'onzz : He's got tricks. I'd be careful if I were you.
Manchester Black : Ah, don't worry. You've got tricks, I've got tricks, too.
J'onn J'onzz : You got a name to go with those tricks?
Manchester Black : Right. How rude of me.
[bowing]
Manchester Black : I'm Manchester Black.

J'onn J'onzz : Did you get anything from him?
Manchester Black : Just kept whispering "Mercy". It mean something to you?
J'onn J'onzz : Mercy Graves hurt somebody I care about. I looked for her and... I heard Fiona's voice. I think Mercy may be holding her captive.
Manchester Black : Heard her? How?
J'onn J'onzz : I'm a telepath.
Manchester Black : Let's lead with that next time.

Manchester Black : Is that Supergirl? Or one of the blokes from Daft Punk?
Alex Danvers : Supergirl, unfortunately.
-
Manchester Black : Lost my job to one of those roaches today. Sorry. I get a few in me...
Officer Petrocelli : No, no, no. I've been hearing that a lot lately. It's disgusting.
Manchester Black : It is.
[refilling Petrocelli's drink]
Manchester Black : To us, then.
-
Manchester Black : The next rally, when might that be?
Officer Petrocelli : Who cares? The real show is happening tonight. Columbia and Fourth, that's where everyone is gonna go.
Manchester Black : What's happening tonight?
Officer Petrocelli : [woozy] Can't tell you. She... she'd...
Manchester Black : She?
Officer Petrocelli : [passing out drunk] Mercy. Mercy...
Manchester Black : Americans, man. No idea how to drink.
-
J'onn J'onzz : I think Fiona is trying to make contact with me.
Manchester Black : He said his mates had something nasty planned for tonight. Maybe that's where we can meet this Mercy of yours. Columbia and Fourth.
[noticing J'onn react]
Manchester Black : What's over there?
-
J'onn J'onzz : That word, ahimsa, it's Hindu?
Manchester Black : It means non-violence. Just something Fi used to say.
J'onn J'onzz : Tell me about her.
Manchester Black : When I met Fi, I was... well, I guess you'd call it "ganged up".
J'onn J'onzz : Mm.
Manchester Black : It was football hooligans. Sorry, soccer hooligans. Any excuse to break a window. We worked for me dad. He taught me how to win a fight. It's easy, once you know the trick.
[pointing to his temple, indicating his brain]
Manchester Black : There's a switch in here. Keeps you from hurting another person. You can turn it on...
[snapping his fingers]
Manchester Black : ...and off.
J'onn J'onzz : So, why did you stop?
Manchester Black : I met Fi. She kept the books for the gang. Didn't hurt no one. No one but me, because one look from her, I was dead, man. Gone, hers. And she showed me... showed me other ways. Non-violent ways. Ahimsa. Then the boys found out she was an alien. Mm. Wasn't safe there anymore. So I told her... I told her to go to the States so she'd be safe.

J'onn J'onzz : That ring... I saw something like this. Just a fragment, right before I heard Fiona's voice.
Manchester Black : Yeah, she has a matching one.
J'onn J'onzz : This is what I need. A talisman. Something on her person with emotional weight. I can use it like a cell tower to amplify my link with her.
