Quotes[]

....

  • Clark Kent: You want to tell me what you got caught up in? Someone did just try to kill you.
  • Cat Grant: I was valedictorian. I mean, trust me, nobody wants to kill a valedictorian.

....

  • Carter Hall: I'd like you to have something. It was given to me by my wife. It's a story, about two star-crossed lovers. Prince Khufu and Shayera were murdered by an evil man, but their love was so strong they were bonded for all eternity. Lifetime after lifetime they were reborn, to find their one true love. Only to lose each other in death again.
  • Lois Lane: That's a terrible story.
  • Carter Hall: I like it.
  • Lois Lane: If you're into the whole Egyptian "Groundhog Day" thing.
  • Carter Hall: After many years, Khufu grew tired of always waiting to find his beloved. So he traveled the world, seeking other women, trying to forget Shayera. Unable to rid her from his heart, he returned home, resigned to his fate. No sooner did he arrive at the palace than he saw her. She was there all along but he didn't recognize her because the time wasn't right. He needed to wait, because it made their love stronger. And their kiss that much sweeter.

....

  • Carter Hall: You know, the philosopher Nietzsche believed we shouldn't live for the future, but for the present. He thought that people who chased after some far-off future dream were really running away from their true destiny.
  • Lois Lane: Yeah, well, Nietzsche can call me a chicken if he wants, but he has never dated someone like Clark Kent.
  • Carter Hall: It wouldn't have mattered. To him, the true hero was the person who embraced the life that he or she was given and made it better. He called that person "Übermensch."
  • Lois Lane: A superman.
  • Carter Hall: Nietzsche believed we could all be one. In our own way.

....

  • Rick Flag: You should be thanking me. I just handed you the hit of a lifetime.
  • Deadshot: Why would I thank you for something fate gave me? Somewhere out there, we all got a bullet with our name on it.

....

  • Cat Grant: People need to see someone's heart to believe in them. We need to be inspired by people who stand out in the light. Not people who shrink into the shadows. We need a good old American hero, red, white, and blue. Or at least red and blue.

....

  • Tess Mercer: Trust never was the golden rule for the kids in this clubhouse.
