Quotes

Carl Lucas : I don't need to, want to, or have to get to know anybody.
Reva Connors : That's like placing yourself in solitary without actually going to the hole.
Carl Lucas : You can't trust nobody in a place like this.
Reva Connors : 'Cause you used to be a cop?
Carl Lucas : I ain't the first cop to do time. And I ain't ever sent nobody to Seagate, so I ain't got that problem. But trust in places like this sets you up for failure.

Reva Connors : Why can't I get you to talk? Hmm? You're not a murderer. You're not some serial killer. You're a man who trusted the wrong people. You made a few stupid mistakes caught a bad break.
Carl Lucas : Do you know how I caught that bad break? Talking to people. Trusting them.

Reva Connors : You're gonna need a new name. Any ideas?
Luke Cage : My father's a preacher. He used to say, one way or the other I would regret the life that I led. He used to say "The Spirit of the Lord is on me because I have been anointed to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners, and recovery of sight for the blind to release the oppressed."
Reva Connors : What is that?
Luke Cage : Luke 4:18. He used to tell me that no one can cage a man if he truly wants to be free.
Reva Connors : So Luke... Freeman?
Luke Cage : Nah. That's a bit on the nose.

Reva Connors : Carl, why did you come tell me this?
Luke Cage : Because you give me hope.

Luke Cage : Thank you for saving my life.
Reva Connors : Thank you for changing mine.

Keely : Look, I was defendin' myself killing that dude.
Reva Connors : But you went to his house.
Keely : It was... whatcha call it?... Preventative.

Reva Connors : I know you all think because Seagate is privately owned, there's some X-Files stuff permeating the place. There isn't. Just think about all the stories you've heard about Seagate. The ghost stories, millionaires hidden in dungeons. Tupac still alive on an island.
