Quotes 

• Maxwell Lord : So it's true - the Red Queen *does* exist.

• Maxwell Lord : They have all witnessed The Blur. Pieces of his identity have been locked within their minds. They simply need to be severed.

  Ray Sacks : And you're extracting their memories with this whole "Jedi mind control" thing. Very impressive interrogation skills. Listen, Mr. Lord, I'm no friend of The Blur, but why are *you* after him?

  Maxwell Lord : You are aware, Sacks, that meta-humans exist on the planet.

  Ray Sacks : I assume this Checkmate agency wants to use them to protect and serve?

  Maxwell Lord : That's the White Queen's plan. Waller barks orders from behind a desk. I work in the real world, a world that needs the rule of law. Anything outside the natural order is... unpredictable.

• Maxwell Lord : [trying to break into Lois' memories]  You're fighting it. You know him, don't you?

  Clark Kent : [whooshing in]  Get away from her.

  Maxwell Lord : Ah. I see we're past formal introductions.

  [Clark advances menacingly] 

  Maxwell Lord : Stop. One wrong step and I'll eviscerate every last thought in her head.

  Clark Kent : You're using their memories to learn my identity. Let them go. They don't know who I am.

  Maxwell Lord : True. They've only seen glimpses of your face, nothing more. You've been careful. Except for this one. Even unconscious, her mind protects memories of you.

  Clark Kent : Maybe she doesn't have any.

  Maxwell Lord : Or maybe the connection between you two is stronger. Stronger than the fear that binds you with the others. Stronger... because of love.
