Quotes 

• Johnny Thunder : [at Rebecca McNider's funeral]  You know if the Thunderbolt could help, I would ask.

  Sylvester Pemberton : Nobody can bring Rebecca back, Johnny. How could someone do that to a child?

  Ted Grant : Not someone, Sly. Something.

  Johnny Thunder : What's it want?

  Rex Tyler : Whatever it is, we have to stop it.

  Jay Garrick : We will, Rex. We'll catch that monster.

  Pat Dugan : Flash!

  Sylvester Pemberton : Pat, we're in public.

  Pat Dugan : Right, sorry. Jay. Jay.

  Jay Garrick : Hello, Stripesy.

  Pat Dugan : Hi.

  Jay Garrick : We know that it's called Eclipso.

  Pat Dugan : Where does it come from?

  Sylvester Pemberton : Pat, let members ask the questions.

  Jay Garrick : It comes from an island. We believe it was brought back here by an explorer named Bruce Gordon.

• Pat Dugan : Dr. McNider was my friend, too, Sylvester. And, you know, I want to be a part of getting justice for his daughter. Look, I know I'm not on the team. But please, Sylvester, this is different.

  Sylvester Pemberton : I know it is. God, Pat. She was only ten. We can't let this happen again.

  Pat Dugan : [spotting a figure nearby]  Is that...?

  Sylvester Pemberton : The Shade.

  Pat Dugan : I'll get the others.

  Sylvester Pemberton : No. If the Shade wanted to fight, he wouldn't be staring us down in broad daylight. I'll meet you back at the garage.

  Pat Dugan : But, Sylvester, I thought that...

  Sylvester Pemberton : Go, and we'll talk later about getting you more involved.

• Sylvester Pemberton : What we're facing, it's not... human.

  Pat Dugan : What is it?

  Sylvester Pemberton : The Shade called it a... spiritual parasite. Like an otherworldly creature. Somehow, this Bruce Gordon found it. And now it's possessed him. I mean, this thing can make you see it as anything it wants. It can make your nightmares come true. And he told me how we can stop it.

  Pat Dugan : But why would the Shade help us?

  Sylvester Pemberton : I saw fear in his eyes when he told me that he had faced it before. I mean, this thing... it murdered men, women, children. I mean, he called it... real evil. He said the only way to stop it is to kill the host.

  Pat Dugan : Kill the host? You're talking about killing another human?

  Sylvester Pemberton : When the host dies, Eclipso will be forced back into the diamond. And as long as we don't touch it, as long as no one does, Eclipso will be powerless inside.

  Pat Dugan : Well, if this thing somehow possessed someone, we gotta exorcise it. We have to save 'em. That's the code the JSA lives by, right? That's the code you live by.

  Sylvester Pemberton : Yes, of course. You're right, Pat. There's always a way.
