Rourke: We're losing altitude! Lighten the load!
Helga: (throwing canisters off) That's it, unless someone wants to jump.
Rourke: Ladies first.
(Rourke shoves Helga off the zeppelin, who grabs onto a railing and jumps back on.)
Helga: You said we were in this together! (kicks Rourke) You promised me a percentage!
Rourke: (grabbing her foot mid-kick) Next time, get it in writing!
(Rourke throws her off again)
Helga: (falling) ROURKE!
Rourke: Nothing Personal!

"An interesting offer, but I'm not getting out of this by playing the rat. There is even a code among thieves, you know."
That made him angry. He was bigger than he looked sitting down and the fist he shook in my face was as large as a shoe.
"What kind of stupidity do you call that? It sounds like a line out of a TV thriller. You've never met another crook in your whole life and you know it! And if you did you would cheerfully turn him in if you could make a profit on the deal."

Superman: Stop this. Whatever Luthor offered you, he'll betray you.
Solaris: I betray Luthor first. I will eat your sun, and replace it in the sky. Your people will pray to me, or die in the cold dark.

First Crook: "I don't care! When the S.C.T.F. hired me to design this trap for your elaborate hoax... There was nothing in the contract that said I had to take the fall, too— if the operation went sour!"
Second Crook: "Desertin' us—?! Why, you dirty—"

Kryptonian Criminal Kru-El: But I thought the Gold Kryptonite had taken-away their super-powers!
Lex Luthor: Fools! Did you really think I'd bring you Gold Kryptonite after my Super-Hearing detected you plotting against me? You tried to double-cross me, so I decided to work with Supergirl against you!

Franklin Clinton: Hey, you guys ever get conned? You know, licks like that [shootout from earlier]? 'Cause it seems like every time we go out, man, dudes trying to get over on us.
Trevor Phillips: That's the gang mentality, bro. You're relying on the criminal element being trustworthy. That's pathetic.

"I don't have to say a whole lot more about the way I feel about Ric Flair; no respect, no honor. There is no honor amongst thieves in the first place! He put hard times on Dusty Rhodes and his family. You don't know what hard times are, daddy! Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work, they got four or five kids and can't pay their wages, can't buy their food. Hard times are when the auto workers are out of work and they tell 'em "go home". And hard times are when a man has worked at a job for 30 years. 30 YEARS! And they give him a watch, kick him in the butt and say "Hey. A computer took your place, daddy!" That's hard times! That's hard times! And Ric Flair, you put hard times on this country by takin' Dusty Rhodes out, that’s hard times. And we all had hard times together."

Dmitri: Ironic, is it not? Did you not mention that Henry left you behind after you helped him? So he essentially betrayed you. In your pursuit of revenge, you ended up becoming a traitor yourself. Truly ironic and amusing.
Ellie: It's not the same. I am more like him than I am like you. You are on the other side of the fence.
Dmitri: Why does it matter that I run a complex and he's a criminal like you? Think about it. A criminal like you betrayed you for his own benefit, while I intended to keep my word. It all comes down to the person. Don't you agree?
