Carl Lumbly: M'yrnn J'onzz

Quotes 

• M'yrnn J'onzz : Ursula, you should not have come. When I told Kemler I didn't agree with his position on the Eradicator project, I wasn't looking to be persuaded.

  J'onn J'onzz : Father, this is not Ursula. This is Kara, my friend.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Of course you are.

• J'onn J'onzz : We came because we could use your help.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I'm of no help to any being. Please leave me be.

  J'onn J'onzz : Father, I just need to...

  M'yrnn J'onzz : [firmly]  I said no, J'onn!

  J'onn J'onzz : Dad, look, I-I know you cannot journey through your mind like you once did. I-I know that. But your memories are still intact. None of it has been lost since you've been doing the Ta'ar Ka'riq. You just need help to access it.

• Supergirl : J'onn told me that when the Greens chose to fight the Whites, you pleaded with those in charge to have open talks, is that right?

  [M'yrnn gives a small nod] 

  Supergirl : Everyone else just saw their aggression, but you saw... you saw something you could reason with. What was it?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I don't remember.

  J'onn J'onzz : [shapeshifting into a White Martian]  Father.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Do not play tricks on me.

  J'onn J'onzz : Just look at me in this form, Father. Like you did when you saw Ursula. You remembered exactly your past conversation. Now look at me, and tell me why you think you can get through to me.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Get through to you?

  [sardonic laugh] 

  M'yrnn J'onzz : You are as stubborn and righteous as Phobos. I can't persuade you of anything you don't already believe in.

• Supergirl : Whites kept you alive, why?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Because I knew that the sacred scrolls were important to them. And inside my mind, I held all the knowledge and secrets of those scrolls.

  Supergirl : And if they killed you, that knowledge would be lost to them forever.

  J'onn J'onzz : You abandoned your own beliefs and appealed to theirs. To their code.

  Supergirl : And Reign has been pretty clear about her code of justice.

  J'onn J'onzz : Father, you might just have saved us today.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I have?

• M'yrnn J'onzz : I discovered the most incredible thing today. Did you know if you grind the coffee beans with the cocoa beans, you get the most delectable mixture? It makes the flavor sensors of my mouth smile.

  J'onn J'onzz : It's called a mocha, Father.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : [pronouncing it phonetically]  Mow-ka. Hmm. I would've thought "choco-coffee."

  J'onn J'onzz : Choco-coffee. You know, that does kind of have a ring to it. It's so good to see you up and around, Father. You should know that we were able to catch Reign, thanks to your advice about the White Martians.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I have no recollection of what you're talking about.

  J'onn J'onzz : Well, all you need to know is that you helped.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : J'onn. Did you know if you grind the coffee beans with the coca beans, you get the most delectable mixture?

  J'onn J'onzz : [realizing it's one of M'yrnn's mental lapses]  I did not know that, no. I'd like to try it.
