“	Regis Blackgaard: You're not here to think, Glossman! You're here to do as you're told! Now listen carefully. I'll speak slowly and use small words so you'll be sure to understand. I need free reign of Whit's End and its surrounding grounds.	”

“	Regis Blackgaard: Fools! Come after me in the tunnel... if you dare.	”
— #334: “The Final Conflict”

“	Aubrey Shepard: Did you burn down Mr. Riley's barn? Regis Blackgaard: Absolutely not. A thug named Richard Maxwell did that. And afterwards he burnt down my business Blackgaard's Castle as well. A business I might add that was direct competition for Whit's End. It was only due to my diligence that Maxwell was caught and sent to prison for his crimes.	”
— #424: “Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 1”

“	Connie Kendall: Yeah? Well, you better watch it, bub. Cause I know John Avery Whittaker and he— Regis Blackgaard: What a coincidence. So do I. Connie Kendall: Huh? Who said that? Regis Blackgaard: I did. Hello, Miss Kendall. Connie Kendall: You! Regis Blackgaard: Yes, Dr. Regis Blackgaard at your service.	”
— #155: “Waylaid in the Windy City, Part 1”

“	Jack Allen: I'm not here to save the world, Doctor. I'm not here to save Odyssey or even Whit's End. I'm here for you—for your soul. That's the only thing that matters right now—not money or power or computer programs or viruses or world terrorism... it all comes down to your soul. Why don't you put down the detonator and give yourself up so you'll have time to redeem your soul? Regis Blackgaard: The flaw in your proposal is that you assume my soul is redeemable. It isn't. I auctioned it off years ago. Jack Allen: Then you sold yourself cheap. Your soul is worth the life of Jesus Christ. To give it to anyone else is an incredible waste.	”
— #334: “The Final Conflict”

“	Regis Blackgaard: No, no, no, no, no, Miss Kendall! Don't try to think! Leave that to me.	”
— #156: “Waylaid in the Windy City, Part 2”

— #424: “Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 1”

“	Regis Blackgaard: You fool.You understand now? I don't need your God. I've come up with my own way to have eternal life! <Slow, strained voice> Wait—wait... something is... wrong. This... isn't what's supposed... to... happen. What's... going... on? John Whittaker: <Slow, strained voice> It's... over... Blackgaard!	”
— #425: “Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 2”

“	Regis Blackgaard: So I suggest you run for your life. Jack Allen: You don't want to kill me. Regis Blackgaard: Oh, you fool! Why wouldn't I?! Goodbye, Jack Allen!	”
— #334: “The Final Conflict”

“	Regis Blackgaard: I know about TA-418. I've always known. Do you think I ever cared about your petty revolution or your mosquito of a group? There's so much more going on here than you can possibly understand, or even imagine! But you have fulfilled your purpose; for that, I thank you. Of course, you also stabbed me with a needle, and for that...make it look like an accident, Abdul.	”

— #329: “The Return”

“	Aubrey Shepard: Did you take over Whit's End? Regis Blackgaard: Is that what they told you? Aubrey, I acquired Whit's End legally. It's all a matter of public record. You can look it up if you like. Aubrey Shepard: And Odyssey? Regis Blackgaard: I only wanted what is best for the town. Same as Whittaker.	”
— #424: “Blackgaard's Revenge, Part 1”

“	Regis Blackgaard: Wh-who is this? Tasha Forbes: He's a friend of mine—Jason Whittaker. Regis Blackgaard: Whittaker? Jason Whittaker: What's the matter? Regis Blackgaard: Oh, I'm sorry. It's just that I knew a Whittaker once. He was from a small town you've probably never heard of: Odyssey. Jason Whittaker: You know my father?	”

“	Regis Blackgaard: What are you going to do — frighten me with rude expressions?	”

“	Regis Blackgaard: You see, my dear Jason, it's not I, but you who don't know what you're getting into.	”
— #329: “The Return”

“	Regis Blackgaard: For so long I have awaited this day... Whit's End is mine!	”
— #331: “Checkmate”
