==Blue Beetle: Shellshocked==

==Blue Beetle: Road Trip==
=====Issue 7 "How I Survived My Infinite Crisis"=====
:'''Jaime Reyes''': I can't believe this. I'm ''meeting'' [[the ''Justice League'']]. I can tell my parents I ''helped'' the ''Batman''.
:'''[[Batman]]''': . . . Say ''Superman''.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Huh?
:'''Batman''': Trust me. tell them it was Superman. Everybody likes him.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Doesn't anybody like ''you''?
:'''Batman''': They're not supposed to.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Green Arrow''': "Blow it up" is your ''big tip'' for the rookie?
:'''Black Canary''': ''This'' from the guy who fights everything from robots to aliens by shooting them with tiny ''sticks''.
:'''Green Arrow''': ''Very fast'' sticks. Fast and ''pointy''!

=====Issue 8 "Road Trip"=====
:'''Jaime Reyes''': You're the tag-along.
:'''Brenda''': I am the ''driver''. The driver is ''never'' the tag-along. The driver ''facilitates'', and should, therefore, be held in the ''highest'' esteem by the lowly passenger.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Paco''': You ask me, it's not on our side.
:'''Brenda''': Have you noticed that we've stopped asking you things?
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Jaime Reyes''': ''You'' took your time!
:'''Christopher Smith''': Wanted to study your tactics.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': How'd I do?
:'''Christopher Smith''': Who set the church on fire?
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Oh, like that was ''Plan A''.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Danielle Garrett''': That was . . .?
:'''Christopher Smith''': An ''anesthetic nerve gas''.
:'''Brenda''': You made nerve gas from common ''kitchen items''?
:'''Christopher Smith''': Also used anti-freeze and road salt. Let's not ''exaggerate''.

=====Issue 9 "Blink of an Eye"=====
:'''Christopher Smith''': What happened next was my own damn fault. 'Cuz if there's ''one'' clear rule in this world . . . it's do ''not'' stick your finger in the ancient alien coffin.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Jaime Reyes''': . . . Do you mind if Paco and I go out?
:'''Mr. Reyes''': Where? The mall? Catch a movie?
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Actually, there's a big fire on the highway 375 loop and I was going to go help.
:'''Mr. Reyes''': Huh. This is . . .
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': New.
:'''Mr. Reyes''': . . . Uhhhh. Can the armor handle it?
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Yes.
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': No fighting. No monsters.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Nope.
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': Homework done?
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Yes ma'am.
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': But if you're going to be late, call.
:'''Mr. Reyes''': Go, be careful. And let's say, when it's a natural disaster, not school hours, you can just go.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Thanks, Dad.
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': And no monster fighting unless they start it.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Okay, Mom!
''Paco and Jaime leave.''
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': This was ''not'' in the manual.
:'''Mr. Reyes''': There was a manual?

=====Issue 10 "My Mother Box, My Self"=====
:'''Brenda''': Who builds a zap-o-matic travel thingy with no instructions? And it just dumps you in the middle of ''nowhere''? I am so annoyed. Mysteries of the universe, you ''stink''.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Why can outer space never just be ''cool''?
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Set phasers on "pebbles."
:'''The Scarab''': (something in its alien language)
:'''Jaime Reyes''': I ''know'' they're not "phasers." I'll explain later.
:<hr width=50%>

=====Issue 11 "With Gods On His Side"=====
:'''Metron''': An interesting plan.
:'''Brenda''': I didn't hear a plan.
:'''Metron''': They will devise it shortly.
:'''Brenda''': But you already-
:'''Metron''': I'm Metron.
:'''Brenda''': -That's your answer to everything, isn't it.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Huge fancy-talking guys with swords on top of giant super-horses fighting evil! I take it back! ''Outer space is very cool!''


==Blue Beetle: Reach for the Stars==

=====Issue 13 "Bug on the Run!"=====
:'''The Reach''': This moment in a planet's evolution is ''dangerous''. You have the ''technology'' to destroy yourselves, but your ''wisdom'' is not as advanced. Only 2% of civilizations survive past this threshold! ''Tragedy''!
. . .
:'''Jaime Reyes''': I think we're doing okay.
:'''The Reach''': You have abolished war, racism, disease and hunger?
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Wow. Way to raise the bar.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Christopher Smith''': Beats those aliens who showed up and tried to enslave the planet.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Which ones ''didn't'' try to enslave the planet?
:'''Christopher Smith''': . . . Gimme a second.
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Jaime Reyes''': That went okay.
:'''Christopher Smith''': Any alien encounter you don't wind up dead or probed, take the win.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Nice.
:'''Christopher Smith''': Especially probed.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Your stories are getting weirder. You know that, right?
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Christopher Smith''': Never trust an alien.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': Isn't Superman-
:'''Christopher Smith''': He's American.

=====Issue 14 "It's a Guy Thing."=====
:'''Jaime Reyes''': ''(on being attacked by flying penguins programmed to destroy him)'' Flightless and harmless? These are ''flightful''! And ''harmful! FULL OF HARM!''
:<hr width=50%>
:'''Guy Gardner''': ''(on the Reach)'' Yeah. I see why the Oans don't like them. Guardians used to have the universal monopoly on ''snark''. These guys are a ''threat'' to that.

=====Issue 15 "Meets Big Blue"=====
:'''Eclipso''': You stink of science, not ''magic''!
:'''Jaime Reyes''': And ''you'' stink of . . . evil stink? Evilosity? Banter. Sucks. ''So much.''

=====Issue 18 "Titans Together!"=====
:'''Brenda''': Oh for- they're just out-of-state students! From the state of ridiculously tall and gorgeous Amazons with perfect skin. Alba-chusetts. West JessicaBiel-burg. Stupid Alba-chusetts.


==Blue Beetle: End Game==

=====Issue 22 "Fanning the Flames!"=====
:'''Danni Garrett''': --Don't just call something "slash" if you file it on the internet though, you get some very interesting-

:'''Jaime Reyes''': You're ''sure'' this thing can survive a trip so far underground?
:'''Danni Garrett''': Only ''one'' way to ''find out''!
:'''Jaime Reyes''': ''No! No!'' There are other ways to "find out"! Like ''tests'' and ''experiments''!
:'''Danni Garrett''': Oh, yeah. Whoops.

:'''Mrs. Reyes''': You cut the second ''scarab'' out of your own ''neck''. With a sharp piece of ''alien armor''. What, there weren't any broken bottles around? No dirty spoons?
:'''Christopher Smith''': Heh. Okay. Calmin' down. You're good at this.
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': Yes. I have a soothing voice. I also stabbed you with a needle full of ''sedatives''.
:'''Christopher Smith''': That's . . . a very big needle.
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': Well, you're a very big jerk.

:'''King Tovar''': Less ''talk''! More ''vengeance''!

=====Issue 23=====
:'''Brenda''': You're right . . . You've got nothing.
:'''Jaime Reyes''': ''How'' is that ''helping''?
:'''Brenda''': I'm ''agreeing''! I'm saying he's ''right''!!
:'''Jaime Reyes''': ''New'' rule, Brenda! Somebody says "I'm doomed," you say "wrong!"

:'''Jaime Reyes''': I didn't ''choose'' to have this power. But I can choose what to ''do'' with it. Just like--we don't choose the life we're born into, but we can choose what to do with it.
:'''Mrs. Reyes''': ''That'' speech sounds familiar.
:'''Mr. Reyes''': He was ''eight.'' I never thought he'd actually ''listen'' to me.
