Episode Quotes |
| |
General Eiling: Don’t tell me the bleeding hearts in Congress go you…
Amanda Waller: I eat them alive.
General Eiling: You would too. You’ve got some onions, Amanda.
| General Eiling: Look what happened last year. Superman walked into Cadmus and tossed our best men like a salad.
Amanda Waller: Oh, for heaven’s sake.
| Amanda Waller: Our enemies are never as evil as we imagine, and maybe we’re never quite as good.
| Shining Knight: No, his proper duty is to his police captain. I see why they call him "Dirty" - he besmirches his order.
Vigilante: Sir Justin, if you want to be watchin' stuff on my big TV with the 5.1 surround sound, you had best watch what you say about Mr. Clint Eastwood.
| Shining Knight: I’d slay the ogre Blundabore all over again, rather than put myself on this display in this manner. Even though that ogre turned out to be--
Everyone: (unsound) Morgaine Le Fey!
Green Arrow: We’ve all heard it.
Shining Knight: Tis a good story…
| (At the parade)
Stargirl: So, what? Since we don’t have superpowers, it takes five of us to replace one Superman?
| Green Arrow: Don't you see, guys? They don't care who can bench press a mountain or shoot lasers out of their ears.
Kid: Where's Superman?
Kid #2: I didn't come to see some cowboy!
Adult: I don't think that vilgilantes are good role models, especially ones with guns!
Kid #3: Where's Superman?!
| General Eiling: Where's Superman?
Green Arrow: Busy. Can I help you?
General Eiling: Yeah. Hold this for me! (throws him a float)
| Stargirl: Haven’t ever heard of "innocent bystanders"?
General Eiling: Ever hear of "acceptable losses"? You can’t make an omelet without breaking a few eggs. This country is halfway down the toilet because of you superpowered types.
Stargirl: For the record, I don’t have powers, potty mouth – it’s the staff.
General Eiling: In that case, miss, you're just another egg.
| Vigilante: I hit him high, I hit him low.
Green Arrow: Whatever.
| Green Arrow: (to General Eiling) You wanted Superman? Now you've got... (two heroes teleport into the middle of the fight) the Crimson Avenger and my ex-sidekick.
Speedy: Ex-partner.
Green Arrow: Speedy, we gotta do this now?
General Eiling: Oooh, now I'm scared.
| General Eiling: You spoiled, rich little twerp.
Green Arrow: I think he means me.
Speedy: Oh, for a second I was all mad.
| Green Arrow: You still have the quantum arrow?
Speedy: Yeah, but you said...
Green Arrow: This is an emergency.
| Shining Knight: Once, at the word of my lord King Arthur, I was ordered to lay waste to an entire village. I knew my king’s heart could not be so unjust, so I speared them all.
General Eiling: Then you’re a lousy soldier.
| General Eiling: Why don't you give up?
Shining Knight: Why don't you?
| General Eiling: All right, I've become what I hate - I'll give you that.
