Absolute Power: Part 1 (2010)

Yuri Lowenthal: Ben Tennyson

Quotes 

• Ben Tennyson : [to Gwen]  You know why you lost? Because you care about not hurting me, and that's EXACTLY why you can't do what it takes to deal with Kevin.

• Ben Tennyson : Wake up and smell the end of the world, Gwen. He's out of control.

  Gwen Tennyson : He's our friend!

  Ben Tennyson : *Was* our friend.

• Max Tennyson : Kevin's a menace. Your friendship aside, the only responsible move is to take him down with all necessary force.

  Ben Tennyson : Then I don't understand why you're talking to me.

  Max Tennyson : It's the logical move. It's the safest move. It's the sensible move.

  Ben Tennyson : But?

  Max Tennyson : It's not the Ben move. You trust people, you give them second chances, and they live up to your expectations. Kevin was a sociopath when you were kids, but you trusted him anyway.

  Ben Tennyson : Look how that worked out.

  Max Tennyson : He's turned into a fine young man - a hero a dozen times over.

  Ben Tennyson : But now he's a monster.

  Max Tennyson : True - and I'd put him down like a mad dog - but I never thought YOU would. You always find another way.

• Ben Tennyson : When I thought you were dead, I had to do a lot of growing up.

  Max Tennyson : You did fine.

  Ben Tennyson : For a while, but then I let my fame go to my head. I've been as big a jerk these past few months as I ever was.

  [very long pause] 

  Ben Tennyson : Aren't you gonna argue with me?

  Max Tennyson : Not when you're right.

  Ben Tennyson : I've had fun, but I always told myself that when the situation got serious, so would I.

  Max Tennyson : I'm not going to argue with you, Ben. I just wanted to make sure you'd really thought about this.

  Ben Tennyson : I have, Grandpa. I'm sorry about what's going to happen to Kevin - really, I am - but this isn't kid stuff anymore. Play time's over.

• Ben Tennyson : You brought Darkstar into this? And he's going to act like our friend again, right?

  Gwen Tennyson : He's the only one who can help Kevin.

  Ben Tennyson : Sure.

  Mike Morningstar : But I CAN help because you don't understand Kevin and *I* do.

• Ben Tennyson : You're gonna be okay.

  Alan Albright : No. I'm not. None of us are.

• Alan Albright : I got off easy. You should've seen what he did to the others.

  Ben Tennyson : Pierce? Helen?

  Alan Albright : And Manny. And some guy named Dr. Viktor. I didn't understand what Kevin wanted from us - until now.

  Ben Tennyson : Your energy. And he's never gonna stop... unless I stop him... for good.

• Mike Morningstar : We both have an insatible craving for energy.

  Ben Tennyson : And you're evil.

  Gwen Tennyson : Kevin's not evil. Somewhere deep down he's still our friend.

  Mike Morningstar : No, lovely Gwen, he's not your friend anymore. He just looks like him. He's... an empty shell, knowing only a hunger that must be fed. That craving is his weakness.
