Quotes 

• Mark Grayson : Immortal your way out of that.

• Mark Grayson : People of Earth... we know you all feel like we're the bad guys because my dad and I took over your planet. But you're going to be part of the Viltrum empire now. That means no one goes hungry, no one dies from cancer, and no one ever messes with Earth again. Look, I didn't get it at first either. But I came around and you will come around, too. And in the long run, you'll thank us. But you need to remember, the more you resist, the worse this gets. We didn't destroy your cities. You destroyed them by fighting back. Your new Viltrumite rulers are on the way and it's time to join us in welcoming them. And if you still think you can stop us, don't forget I'm... Invincible.

• Angstrom Levy : Stop. This is for the greater good.

  Mark Grayson : Yeah? I've heard that before.

• Cecil : Good to see you, kid. What can I do for you?

  Mark Grayson : Going back to school made me realize it's the wrong place for me right now. I need to be out there. You need to start calling on me again.

  Cecil : Hey... hold on.

  Mark Grayson : I'm better, I'm stronger, I'm ready.

  Cecil : No, you're not.

  [sighs] 

  Cecil : You're not, Mark.

  Mark Grayson : What? What do you mean?

  Cecil : You think I haven't been watching your early morning outings?

  Mark Grayson : That's why I need you. I need to do more.

  Cecil : It's only been a month, Mark. Focus on your mom, your grades, your girlfriend. You want to go to college with Amber, right? You can't do that if you don't graduate.

  Mark Grayson : I can save lives.

  Cecil : You did. You saved a ton of them. But you also went through an emotional tumble dryer, and I need to know your head's stopped spinning before I let you back in the game. So, no. Not yet.

  Mark Grayson : You can't stop me. I don't need your permission to be a superhero.

  Cecil : You know who else said that to me?

  Mark Grayson : I'm not my dad.

  [pounds his fist into the table, denting it] 

  Mark Grayson : I'm not my dad!

  Cecil : [sighs]  Take some time off, kid. Some real time off. You need it.

  [bell jingles, door closes]
