J'onn J'onzz : [playing Charades] That doesn't count.
M'yrnn J'onzz : Why?
J'onn J'onzz : Because you're shape-shifting, dad.
M'yrnn J'onzz : [dressed like an astronaut] Oh.
[he shape-shifts back to normal]
M'yrnn J'onzz : Human games have so many rules.
Kara Danvers : He didn't break any of the rules.
Alex Danvers : It's... you know what? It's fine. Just let him have it. We're slaughtering 'em, anyway.
Winn Schott : [he laughs] Hey, the Martian Man-Father strikes again.
Kara Danvers : Martian Man-Father?
Winn Schott : Fine. The Martian Dad Hunter.

M'yrnn J'onzz : "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover."
Alex Danvers : What?
J'onn J'onzz : Cheating again. Come on, dad, no mind reading.
M'yrnn J'onzz : You keep accusing me of not following the rules. You are one to talk.
[J'onn is confused]
M'yrnn J'onzz : My son used to wait for me to leave, and the moment I had gone, he would switch around the pieces on the Ok-Rock-Tock board. When I caught him, he blamed his imaginary friend... what was his name?
James Olsen : Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. You had an imaginary friend?
J'onn J'onzz : No, I...
M'yrnn J'onzz : Oh, yes, he did. You said he was a fifth-dimensiona imp who came just to move the pieces. What was his name?
J'onn J'onzz : [giving in] Zook.
M'yrnn J'onzz : Zook!
Alex Danvers , James Olsen , Winn Schott , Kara Danvers : [amused] Zook!
M'yrnn J'onzz : "Zook! Zook did it! It was Zook!" That was you.
-
M'yrnn J'onzz : I am sorry for the pain I caused. I hurt you, all of you. I was so fearful of losing control of what's left of my life, I refused to accept what was happening. And it nearly cost me everything I hold dear.
J'onn J'onzz : I hoped I would've been able to protect you all better.
Alex Danvers : You protect us all the time, J'onn.
Supergirl : Tonight was our turn.
-
M'yrnn J'onzz : You are worried about something, my son. Speak.
J'onn J'onzz : Uh... just... how are you feeling?
M'yrnn J'onzz : Never better. Ok-Rock-Tock is good for my mind.
J'onn J'onzz : Sure. Memory, strategy.
M'yrnn J'onzz : More than that. It hears my thoughts. It connects me to my ancestors as I navigate the labyrinth of the board. Centering me. Easing my mind.
J'onn J'onzz : That's good. That's good, and it's, um... it's helping?
M'yrnn J'onzz : It's been twelve hours and forty-six minutes since you asked. You fear my condition has worsened in this time?
J'onn J'onzz : No. It's just that... we did bring in a Kalanorian who had a psychic breakdown at a bar.
M'yrnn J'onzz : I thought I felt something.
-
M'yrnn J'onzz : You know I have been doing the Ta'ar Ka'riq to keep my memories from fleeing. You should have told me there were Kalanorians here.
J'onn J'onzz : I'm sorry, Father.
M'yrnn J'onzz : In any event, I will be more careful. Now, come. Play a match with me. I never tire of beating you.
J'onn J'onzz : I got to get back to work. Why don't you bring the game to the DEO, and we can play later?
M'yrnn J'onzz : As soon as I finish my game against Zook.
[looking around]
M'yrnn J'onzz : He was right here. Where is he?
J'onn J'onzz : [concerned] Dad?
M'yrnn J'onzz : [smiling with a wink] A joke.
J'onn J'onzz : Not funny, dad.
M'yrnn J'onzz : Only because you did not see your face.
-
M'yrnn J'onzz : Why did you bring me in here?
J'onn J'onzz : Just to talk.
M'yrnn J'onzz : I'd prefer to go back to my prayer room. Or better yet, take me home.
J'onn J'onzz : I'm afraid I can't do that.
-
J'onn J'onzz : As you've been struggling with your illness, your psychic waves have escaped. It's... it's affecting people.
M'yrnn J'onzz : No. I would know if it did. I've done nothing wrong. I would never hurt anyone.
J'onn J'onzz : No one thinks you're trying to hurt them, Father. It happened with the Kalanorian.
M'yrnn J'onzz : A Kalanorian? On this planet? Why didn't you tell me about this?
J'onn J'onzz : We spoke about it.
M'yrnn J'onzz : We did no such thing.
J'onn J'onzz : Dad, you're forgetting.
M'yrnn J'onzz : No! I will get control of it.
J'onn J'onzz : I'm afraid you are not able to. Not by yourself.
M'yrnn J'onzz : Don't you dare tell your father what he is or isn't able to do!
-
M'yrnn J'onzz : What are these for?
J'onn J'onzz : They're just in case. They suppress our powers.
M'yrnn J'onzz : Is that to help me, too?
J'onn J'onzz : It's to help quell your mind, Father. So that I may assist you in the practice of Ta'ar Ka'riq.
M'yrnn J'onzz : You would cage me?
J'onn J'onzz : Never.
-
M'yrnn J'onzz : For 300 years, I lived in a cell. My son will not put me back in one!
-
J'onn J'onzz : Father, look around you. You're hurting people. Your mind is doing this.
M'yrnn J'onzz : No. You are trying to trick me.
J'onn J'onzz : I would never do that. I love you. All I want to do is protect you, as you have tried to protect me my entire life.
