Jesse L. Martin: Joe West

Quotes 

• Cecile Horton : Okay, did I just catch you on the phone with Singh trying to find out how fast he was gonna be back?

  Joe West : Cecile, I-I-I'm not used to being in charge of all this managerial and logistic stuff. I'm just not cut out for that.

  Cecile Horton : What are you talking about? Babe, I have seen you take charge in the field a million times.

  Joe West : But that's in the field and I always knew that I had Singh to go to if I had any problems this way. Now everybody's coming to me and I can't answer all these questions.

  Cecile Horton : Joe West. How many times has Barry, Iris, Nora, even Ralph Dibny come to you? Specifically come to you get answers to their problems?

  Joe West : More times than I can count.

  Cecile Horton : Exactly. And that is because everyone of them knows that when they come to you, they're gonna get an honest answer straight from the heart. Babe, that heart of yours, that is a moral compass. It's one of the many reasons why I love you. Right here. That's all you need, babe. Right here. As long as you speak from there, I promise you, you will never lead anyone astray.

• Captain David Singh : You want me to open the doors to the CCPD to every meta in this city?

  Joe West : David, these people need our protection.

  Cecile Horton : And not all metas are criminals. You know, some of them are doctors and students and cops.

  Captain David Singh : I know, but this is a police station, not a clinic.

• Cecile Horton : S.T.A.R. Labs says that the cure is safe, and it's as easy to give as a flu shot.

  Captain David Singh : Yeah, well, S.T.A.R. Labs isn't exactly the FDA.

  Joe West : Look, we have to do it here. Red tape alone, it would take weeks at a medical facility. If we do nothing, there's a whole bunch of citizens who could've been saved that will die on our watch. I'm not having that.

  Captain David Singh : Well, you clearly believe in this. So I'm willing to, as well. But that means there's going to be a lot of political navigating. So I'll go down to City Hall and brief them in the morning.
