## Jaime Reyes / Blue Beetle

* The love that I have for my family, that's what makes me strong.
* I think I just cut a bus in half.
* They don't get out much.
* Everything right now feels so out of reach.
* Let's party.
* Whoa! I'm in space.
* Ha ha, yeah!
* KHAJI-DA!!!
* YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD BEAT ME?! HUH?! YOU SHOULD HAVE FINISHED ME WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE!

## Khaji-Da

* Host acquired.
* Re-entry systems ready.
* Host overreacting.
* Threat approaching. Engaging host protection.
* Threat eliminated.
* I have an arsenal at my disposal.
* Whatever you can imagine, I can create.
* Nice choice.
* I advise we back away.

## Jenny Kord

* Guard that with your life, but do not open it.
* It's called the Scarab. It was given to me by my dad as a kid. It's some kind of world-destroying weapon.
* It's designed to protect its host. Sometimes it does what you want, and sometimes it doesn't.
* Your house is full of love. Your family, that's a home.
* The world is a place to protect.

## Milagro Reyes

* You always land on your feet, bro. You're Jaime.
* You're a Mexican in the Edge Keys, carnal. That progress is not for us. The poor are over here and the rich go over there, until the rich wanted to be here and pushed us out.
* You went in to get us jobs, and all you brought back was a hamburger?
* Did you know what was gonna happen to my brother when you stuck him with this world-destroying thing?
* [as they see the Scarab embedded in Jaime's back] Oh, I forgot how bad it looks.

## Rudy Reyes

* The universe has sent you a gift, and you have to figure out what you're gonna do with it.
* Maybe it's time to get our own hero.
* Batman's a fascist.
* What do you think the government is gonna do when they figure out some kid has this military tech?
* You are the Blue Beetle. You are a superhero, cabrón!

## Victoria Kord

* The Scarab chose you, but it doesn't belong to you. It belongs to me.

* [Last words] Sacrifices must be made for the greater good.

## José Francisco Morales Rivera de la Cruz / Dr. Sanchez
