Recap

The gangster Babyface and his men break into a candy factory and break open the safe. Two heroes arrive to stop them: Elongated Man and Plastic Man. The villains have no idea who Elongated Man, much to the hero’s dismay. He complains about how Plastic Man is more popular then him, and Plastic Man admits that Batman prefers to hang out with him. They split up to take down the criminals. When Plastic Man spots some of the loot, his greed gets the better of him and he tries to take it, but Elongated Man stops him. Finally only Babyface is left and he tries to make a run for it. The two heroes fight over who will capture him and end up tangled together. They fall into a taffy puller and Babyface heads for the door... only for Batman to knock him unconscious. When the heroes ask which one he prefers, he tells them that as far as he’s concerned, he’d rather work alone...

Episode Quotes
Babyface: Well, if it isn't Plastic Man and, uh, uh... and uh...
Elongated Man: Elongated Man. You know, the Ductile Detective.
Babyface: Never heard of you.

Elongated Man: I just don't get it. I'm more professional, the better detective, and yet the public prefers you.
Plastic Man: Ooh, not just the public, my d-list doppelganger. Batman too.

(on the phone)
Aquaman: Aquaman here. What's new, old friend?
Atom: I was just in the middle of conducting a delicate tachyon detection experiment... "old friend."
Aquaman: Tachyons, eh? Splendid! Atta boy.
Batman: Get to the point.

Aquaman: Outrageous! What miracle is this?
Atom: As the Atom, I can shrink to the size of a subatomic particle and ride electronics along the phone wires.
Aquaman: Do it again!

Aquaman: What kind of medicine shall we proscribe, doc?
Atom: You don't know what kind of doctor I am, do you?
Aquaman: A hero doctor, through and through!

Aquaman: But how small are we?
Atom: About 15 microns. Small enough to slip between Batman's cells without damage. And uhh, that's Batman's cilia you're hanging from.
Aquaman: Cilia and sillier!

Atom: As we travel through the villi, the CP4 barium sonar wave will indicate any monoclinic phylosilicates in our vicinity.
Aquaman: English, man, English!
Atom: Uhh, this little doohickey beeps when the cooties are near.
Aquaman: Ahh, I... cooties, yes.

Aquaman: En garde, you microscopic misanthrope! Ah, we shall call this adventure "The One Where Larger-Than-Life Heroes Come in Small Packages."

Atom: It’s replicating!
Aquaman: Yes, and it’s making more of itself, too!

(to Aquaman)
Atom: See, thinking's not so tough. Maybe you should try it sometime.

Aquaman: Good boy. You were magnificent. Yes, big hug.
Atom: He's not hugging you. "He" is merely interpreting as a foreign body to be surrounded and destroyed.
Aquaman: Sure feels like a hug to me. And since we found you in Batman's blood stream, I think we'll name him "Platelet."
Atom: Except that's a lymphocyte.
Aquaman: Platelet it is!

Aquaman: Hi-yo Platelet, away!

Atom: What are you doing?
Aquaman: Drawing their forces so you can destroy the seed cell.
Atom: But you'll never survive!
Aquaman: Perhaps, but at least I'll have one heck of a story!

Atom: Outrageous! Evildoers, beware my wrath!
Aquaman: Uhh, what about the plan?
Atom: Blah, blah, blah. Let's punch them!

The Brain: But Chemo's microorganisms should have killed you.
Batman: I've got microorganisms of my own, Brain. And mine work for the good guys.
