Quotes 

• Luke Cage : I'm about sick of always having to buy new clothes.

• Claire Temple : If people see that you're one of them, that's good. If you stand and fight, they'll follow you.

  Luke Cage : If I go to prison, who's gonna wanna follow me?

  Claire Temple : Half the people uptown have fathers, cousins, uncles, brothers in prison! You're no different than anybody else. You get your wish. You're not special. Instead of running, if you make a move and you take him down once and for all? You stop him, you save this community, and you free yourself.

• Zip : [Dealing guns]  Got that John Blaze shit. Forget about making somebody's day. These two Desert Eagles here? Fly, pelican, fly.

  Luke Cage : [Comes up to him]  Do I even need to say it?

  [Zip's goons flee] 

  Luke Cage : Come on, Zip. You should find a new profession

• Claire Temple : Setbacks happen all the time. You can still do something about this.

  Luke Cage : Why me?

  Claire Temple : Because you're not afraid of Cottonmouth, and he's obviously afraid of you.

• Luke Cage : Where are the guns?

  Domingo Colon : I don't know what you're talking about.

  Luke Cage : The ones you got back from Cottonmouth. The ones my friends died over.

  Domingo Colon : What, you think you can go after everyone?

  Luke Cage : I kinda do. I can pick you up walk you over to the bridge and throw your ass in the Hudson. And here's the thing. It's not the fall that kills you. It's the impact against the water. And when the water fills your lungs, right before you black out, you'll ask yourself "Why didn't I just give Luke Cage what he wanted?"

  Domingo Colon : ...The guns are downstairs.

  Luke Cage : Muchas gracias.

• Luke Cage : I didn't come to Harlem to be a hero, Claire. I came because I needed time to figure shit out.

  Claire Temple : So did I.

  Luke Cage : You're right. I can't keep running. But I want you to know what you're getting into. If Cottonmouth talks, or if anybody connects the dots that Luke Cage is Carl Lucas I go back to Seagate.

  Claire Temple : You knew the risks and you did it anyway. That's what makes you a hero.

  Luke Cage : Maybe I should get a mask after all.

• Misty Knight : Nice sweatshirt. You box now?

  Luke Cage : What I do is more like... CrossFit.

• Domingo Colon : What, you think you can go after everyone?

  Luke Cage : I kinda do.
