  Ralph Dibny : I was brutally experimented on by a covert organization for years

  [Sue is shocked] 

  Ralph Dibny : they forced me to consume rubber-base polymer compounds.

  Sue Dearbon : Seriously?

  Ralph Dibny : No. I rode a bus.

• Sue Dearbon : Are you crazy?

  Ralph Dibny : Sometimes?

• Ralph Dibny : Do you trust me?

  Sue Dearbon : Define trust?

  Ralph Dibny : [pulls her close to him]  Don't let go.

• Sue Dearbon : [in shock]  You're the Elongated Man?

  Ralph Dibny : Yeah. I'm just full of surprises.

• Sue Dearbon : Get down!

  Ralph Dibny : [they just manage to avoid an explosion]  What the hell, lady?

  Sue Dearbon : Hey, I just saved your life. You're welcome, by the way.

• Ralph Dibny : [getting caught by one of Loring's goons]  Uh, I don't suppose you're a fellow bird watcher?

  [he tries a karate chop, to no avail] 

  Ralph Dibny : Huh.

  [he throws a punch, but the thug proceeds to get the better of him, dunking him headfirst into a drum of water] 

  Sue Dearbon : Hey, Vin Diesel.

  [taking him down with a karate kick] 

  Sue Dearbon : [to Ralph]  You still want me to wait in the car?

• Sue Dearbon : John Loring. Turns out Mr. Dreamy Muscles and charisma-for-miles was also a major arms dealer on the black market.

  Ralph Dibny : So why does Loring want you dead?

  Sue Dearbon : Because I... stumbled across his client lists, weapons inventory, and everything else that exposes him for the bag of crap that he is. The first time he tried to kill me, I was asleep.

  Ralph Dibny : [taking out his phone]  All right, well...

  Sue Dearbon : Who are you calling, Slick?

  Ralph Dibny : Your parents. To let 'em know you're safe.

  Sue Dearbon : [taking the phone]  Hmm.

  Ralph Dibny : [she throws it out the window]  What... come on, I... I just switched plans.

• Sue Dearbon : John owns that warehouse. That's where the deal will go down.

  Ralph Dibny : [as he moves to get out, so does she]  Where are you going?

  Sue Dearbon : I'm going with you.

  Ralph Dibny : No, no, no, no, no.

  Sue Dearbon : Oh, look, I get it. Chivalry's your brand.

  Ralph Dibny : You're an MIT grad, speak six languages, and you play polo. You belong in a country club, not in the field.

  Sue Dearbon : You belong in the 19th century with your Victorian "save the damsel in distress" crap.

  Ralph Dibny : Loring doesn't know that I'm coming, so I have the element of surprise. You, on the other hand, he might kinda know that you're coming. Translation: stay in the car, please.

• Cecile Horton : Oh, my god, Ralph, you found her!

  Sue Dearbon : Oh, technically, I found him.

  Cecile Horton : Sue Dearbon.

  [shaking hands] 

  Cecile Horton : Hi.

  Sue Dearbon : Hi.

  Cecile Horton : Cecile Horton. Metahuman attorney. But I also have twenty years of experience defending non-metahumans. The law is my game, Cecile is my name. I can cover you no matter what you've had going on all this time.

  Ralph Dibny : Just need a quick word.

  Cecile Horton : Oh, gotcha.

  [to Sue] 

  Cecile Horton : Just one sec.

• Ralph Dibny : Look, everything is gonna be fine. Your parents hired me to do whatever it takes to bring you home safely. And that's what I'm gonna do.

  Sue Dearbon : How?

  Ralph Dibny : Easy. I'm gonna find Loring, I'm gonna get your evidence, then I'm gonna take it to CCPD. And after I do that, I'm gonna take you home.

  Sue Dearbon : John's a killer. You'd be risking your life. For me. If you get killed... my parents are out good money. I'm coming with you.

• Ralph Dibny : So, you mind telling me how you know martial arts?

  Sue Dearbon : My parents sent me to Kyoto for a summer. Trained with a blind sensei. Taught me everything I know.

  Ralph Dibny : Really?

  Sue Dearbon : No. I trained with a guy named Frank at a YMCA.

• Sue Dearbon : Will you relax? We're safe here. John's not stupid. Killing me in a public place? Uh-uh, it's not gonna happen.

  Ralph Dibny : I'm sorry, I believe he blew up an apartment to get to you.

  Sue Dearbon : That building was scheduled for demolition next month. But he does know that someone's after him now. It'll make him harder to get to. Thanks to you.

  Ralph Dibny : [she pays for her drink and stands to leave]  Where are you going?

  Sue Dearbon : Sorry, Slick. I can't partner up with someone who doesn't think I can pull my own weight.

• Sue Dearbon : No one followed us. We're clear.

  Ralph Dibny : Sue, I... I have been looking for you for nine months.

  Sue Dearbon : Ouch. I hope you don't bill by the hour.

  Ralph Dibny : Where have you been? And-and... and why did your apartment explode in my face?

  Sue Dearbon : Yeah, hate it when that happens.

  Ralph Dibny : Look, I'm serious. Now, who set that bomb? Why are they trying to kill you? And how long has this been going on for?

  Sue Dearbon : Uh, my ex. Because I know too much. About nine months. You done?

  Ralph Dibny : No, I'm most certainly not done. Why is your ex sending you explosive candygrams?

  Sue Dearbon : [picking up a bottle of booze]  Ooh, the cheap stuff.

  Ralph Dibny : [taking the glass away]  Look. Drinks later. Spilling your guts to tell a tragic story? That'd be now.

  Sue Dearbon : Fine. I fell in love with a murderer. Happy?

• Ralph Dibny : When I take a case, I see it through to the end. And this doesn't end until you're safe.

  Sue Dearbon : Do you trust me, Ralph?

  Ralph Dibny : I just met you. But you did save my keister. Twice. And that means I owe you. And I always pay my debts.

  Sue Dearbon : I'll take that as a yes.

• Sue Dearbon : John can track your phone. You call my parents, they're dead.

  Ralph Dibny : All right, then, uh, we'll go to the police. I know a precinct captain who can help us.

  Sue Dearbon : The last time I tried that, they tried to kill me, too. John's got cops on the payroll in every city he does business.

  Ralph Dibny : Then what's your plan to get out of this? Sue, you can't run forever.

  Sue Dearbon : Who says I'm running?

  Ralph Dibny : [realizing]  You and Loring are hunting each other. That's why you're in Central City.

  Sue Dearbon : John's in town for a massive sale. If I can get damning evidence on what he's doing, he goes to jail. And I go home.

• Ralph Dibny : Oh, my God. It's you. You're Sue Dearbon.

  Sue Dearbon : In the flesh. And you are?

• Ralph Dibny : I smell a mystery.

  Sue Dearbon : I smell... expired milk.

• Ralph Dibny : [Sue has locked Ralph in the vault]  What the hell?

  Sue Dearbon : [coldly]  I guess you're not the only one who is full of surprises.

• Ralph Dibny : Is there anyone who doesn't want to kill you?

  Sue Dearbon : Not really.

• Ralph Dibny : We are this close to taking down Loring!

  Sue Dearbon : Who cares about Loring? I don't even know the guy! I do, however, know where he keeps his valuables.

  Ralph Dibny : There never was a ledger. That's why you rented an apartment in Central City -- you knew I was keeping tabs on you, so you lured me in, "You rigged your own apartment to explode, for what? Just to sell the story of sympathetic socialite running for her life?

  Sue Dearbon : You bought it, but don't feel bad, You're a good guy, and a hero. You probably see the best in everyone. Me? I see what I want, and I take it.

  Ralph Dibny : You used my detective mind to track down Loring's deposit box, You played everyone. Your parents are desperate to find you! Do they even know what you really are?

  Sue Dearbon : No. That's our little secret. If they found out their only daughter was a thief, they'd be devastated. So you keep your mouth shut about who I am, I keep mine shut about who you are. Deal, Elongated Man?

  Ralph Dibny : Was anything you ever said real.

  Sue Dearbon : Yes, and no. See you around, Slick.
