- Brandon Sampson: You're grounding me?
- Sheldon Sampson: I'm not grounding you, Brandon.
- Brandon Sampson: No, Dad. This is bullshit. Have you seen what the supervillains are doing?
- Sheldon Sampson: Work the farm, stay out of sight. No uniform, no patrol until I give the okay. Do you understand? Do you understand?
- Brandon Sampson: Yes, sir.
- Sheldon Sampson: It's not a punishment, Brandon. It's an opportunity. Use it.
- Sheldon Sampson: [to his son] You're gonna be here long after I'm gone. And one day, God willing, you're gonna be the Utopian... And every evil you can imagine is gonna rise up against you, against mankind, and not for justice, for vengeance. And in those moments, the only thing that you will have to guide you is the Code. It has to stand, Brandon, even if we fall.
- Fitz Small: But here you are, and I couldn't be prouder.
- Petra: For not getting killed?
- Fitz Small: For being better than me... in so many ways.
- Brandon Sampson: Today we bury my friends. I knew them as Briggs, Vera, and Barry. They weren't their powers. They weren't their uniforms. They were people. And I'm sorry they're gone. I'm sorry I failed them. I'm sorry I couldn't do more, couldn't be more. We're all reaching for something, and we keep falling short of it. But not Briggs, not Vera and not Barry. They achieved it. They died heroes. And I envy them.
