Michael Westen: You're sure this is who you want to be? A mercenary. Betraying his friend. For blood money?
Harlan: (hits him) Yeah. I'm sure.
Michael: That's all I needed to know. [asskicking ensues]

Jack Fenton: How could you hold the world hostage like that Vladdy? And after all the good fortune you had in your life?
Vlad Plasmius: Good Fortune!? You infect me with ghost DNA, then steal the love of my life, and you call that good fortune!?
Jack: I infected you? You mean...
Vlad: Yes, fool! It was your bumbling that made me into what I am today! But, I suppose I should be saying "thank you". For without you, I wouldn't be moments away from becoming ruler of the Earth.
Jack: I never meant to hurt you! What happened was an accident! I'm your friend Vladdy! I've always been your friend. I even voted for you!
Vlad: I'll remember that when I steal Maddie from you and make her my queen!
[Vlad proceeds to laugh as the doors close behind him, with Jack fully becoming disillusioned with his former friend]

Batman: Don't you understand? I don't want to hurt you. I don't want either of us to end up killing the other. But we're both running out of alternatives... and we both know it. Maybe it all hinges on tonight. Maybe this is our last chance to sort this bloody mess out. If you don't take it, then we're both locked onto a suicide course. Both of us. To the death. It doesn't have to end like that. I don't know what it was that bent your life out of shape, but who knows? Maybe I've been there too. Maybe I can help. We could work together. I could rehabilitate you. You needn't be out there on the edge anymore. You needn't be alone. We don't have to kill each other. What do you say?
[Beat, as the Joker mulls this over]
Joker: No. I'm sorry, but... no. It's too late for that. Far too late.

Kyle Katarn: Jaden, stop!
Jaden Korr: Don't get in my way, Kyle!
Kyle: Jaden, I know you're angry, but it's not too late to renounce the dark side. Tavion and her cult has been stopped, we can end this here!
Jaden: Oh, no... this is just the beginning.
Kyle: Jaden, the lure of the dark side is strong, but it will ultimately destroy you! Fight it! Rosh resisted it, you can, too!
Jaden: Rosh was weak! He was too afraid to grasp the true power of the dark side!
Kyle: I can't let you do this, Jaden...
Jaden: Then stop me, Master.

Supergirl: You won't believe this, but I'm sorry. On my honor, I am. And if you will swear to stop this battle, I will help you search for your child. That is my promise.
Satan Girl: Ohhhhh, don't you wish, Lightsister. I can find my child. After our war, I will find him. Or her. There is nothing left to us now, except the fight.

Parasite: I can't even get close to a woman without her running away now, Supes. They don't dig the tall, strong, and purple type. If I bought and paid for one, I might suck the life out of her while we were together. You understand?
Superman: Perhaps, Max. And perhaps you'd be better if we could find a cure for your condition.
Parasite: Yeah, well, I'll settle for getting back my old bod, if and when. If and when.
Superman: So why did you throw in with Luthor?
Parasite: Because he offered me a good deal. Said he'd get rid of you forever, and kick in a lotta dough at the same time. My two primary motivations.
Superman: If we got you your body back, Max, and if we removed your Parasite powers, would you reform? Would you even consider it?
Parasite: I don't know.

Hal Jordan: As much as I've been waiting for the "winner-take-all, no-holds-barred cage match", I've got something to say. Something I thought I'd never hear coming out of my mouth. You're right. What the Manhunters did to your sector was a tragedy. Your rage is earned. But destroying life here isn't going to change what happened there. Let's work together to find a solution, a way to make things better for the people of the Forgotten Zone. Let us help.
Atrocitus: You can help, Earthman... Your dying screams will help soothe the restless souls of our DEAD!

Superboy: You manipulated me, used me. But you also saved me. So I'm giving you one chance to stand down.
Lor Zod: If he expects a Zod to surrender he clearly learned nothing from your time together.
Dru Zod: I should have respected your knowledge, as well as my own history with the house of El.
Lor Zod: So for the future of New Krypton—
Superboy and Superman:For the future of EARTH!
