Quotes 

• Turk Barrett : Your aura's dope. Who you train with?

  Danny Rand : I trained with Master...

  Luke Cage : Let's go, Danny.

• Danny Rand : Bushmaster.

  Luke Cage : Yeah, that's my fight, not yours.

  Danny Rand : Well, when someone comes after my friends, I make it my fight.

  D.W. Griffith : "I make it my fight!" This white boy got swagger, yo!

• Luke Cage : This is definitely the right spot. Bet this place is a fortress.

  [looks at Danny] 

  Danny Rand : Do I look fazed?

  Danny Rand : Do *I*?

• Mariah Dillard : So how's that fine-ass daddy of yours? You know, there was something fun about him. There's nothing fun about *you*. I could've given your daddy something to pray about. I'm sorry, Mr. Rand. May I offer you something to drink?

  Danny Rand : I'm good, thanks.

• Luke Cage : Why didn't she call me?

  Danny Rand : You know why

  [pauses] 

  Danny Rand : . At least that's what she told me to say in case you asked. I didn't ask her why.

• Danny Rand : [sighs]  You're right, though. Money *is* power. I hate to admit it, but it's true.

  Luke Cage : Yeah, well, real power comes from someplace else, right?

  [taps Danny's chest] 

  Danny Rand : Chi?

  Luke Cage : You said it, not me.

• Danny Rand : Look, I know it can be a lot taking on everything by yourself. But you need to realize, Harlem was here long before you, and it will still stand long after you.

• Danny Rand : You got a plan if this goes sideways?

  Luke Cage : I don't think I need one. Look at them. I don't think they want it.

  Danny Rand : Because you're bulletproof?

  Luke Cage : Nah, I just walked in here with a billion dollars. I'm not so sure anybody wants to bust a cap in Steve Jobs.

  Danny Rand : Come on dude. You always have to make this about my money. I told you; I don't even live off it anymore.

  Luke Cage : [laughs]  You don't get it, do you? The glowing fist is the least powerful thing about you, especially up here. Stillness is power? Nah, money is power. That's what flows. That's the one thing they respect. Trust me.

• Danny Rand : How do you expect to defend a city if you're at war with yourself?

• Luke Cage : [leans in]  Hey, look, man. Between me and you, that dragon that you fought, that was metaphorical, right? It wasn't actually real.

  Danny Rand : [shakes his head]  Man, I don't get you. You can accept that you're bulletproof right?

  [Luke nods] 

  Danny Rand : And you can accept that my hand, it glows

  [Luke nods again] 

  Danny Rand : , but you can't accept a dragon?

  Luke Cage : Hell, no.

  Danny Rand : Whatever, man.

  [tosses his napkin at Luke] 

  Luke Cage : And I'm crazy?

  Danny Rand : Yep.

  Luke Cage : You're the one seeing dragons, man.

• Danny Rand : I get it. But you don't have to carry this burden by yourself.

  Luke Cage : Yeah. You're downtown; I'm uptown.

  Danny Rand : Same island. Same city. We're just defending different neighborhoods, together.

  Luke Cage : You're on that Matt Murdock shit. Look, I'm just living my life day to day. In Harlem.

  Danny Rand : Come on man. That's bullshit; you know it. You heard the call just like I did, from inside.

• Danny Rand : You don't run from sirens; you run towards them. And that? That my friend is what makes a hero.

  Luke Cage : Maybe. Not too long ago, someone told me that 'not every siren is for you'.

  Danny Rand : [laughs]  That sounds like Claire all day.
