Huntress quotes from Birds of Prey

Huntress

Okay, I REALLY don't have time for this...

You're in a crime scene, lady; You'll MAKE time!

Huntress

You can see it's a suicide.

Yeah, seem to be a lot of those going around lately, huh? You know, my colleagues, they think I'm crazy. But I'm beginning to wonder if somebody isn't giving these vics a little push!

Huntress

[Into her comm, to Oracle] You'd like this guy, he's got your paranoid turn of mind.

Excuse me? What was that?

Huntress

I didn't say anything.

Neighbors reported sounds of a fight. He must have been in the area to have gotten there so fast. You have a few minutes before the black-and-whites show up, just... GET OUT OF THERE.

So, you know this man?

Huntress

He was dead when I got here.

[Sceptically] Really? Oh, so then the best you can say for yourself is you were robbing a dead guy.

Huntress

You're a DETECTIVE; DETECT - What was I gonna do? Strap a few paintings on my back, take the elevator? I don't have any gear for a heist and I don't have any weapons. What did I do, come in here and chat him into hanging himself?

Even if I were to believe you, you still haven't answered my question; What are you doing here?

Huntress

[Serious] Same thing you are - Just trying to save someone. Guess we were both a little too late. We're on the same side, Reese.

Now, wait just a minute!

Huntress

[To Oracle] I KNOW what I'm doing, BACK OFF.

[Confused] Do you hear voices or something?

Huntress

You have no idea. Someone dropped the Hermez shooter off at the precinct doorstep last week, right? [Reese frowns] And the Dorsett kidnapper? I practically gift-wrapped that one for you.

[Aims his gun at her] Who are you?

Huntress

[Twists her hand in the cuffs] I'm NOT your enemy.

What, I'm supposed to believe you're a FRIEND?

Huntress

I didn't say that. [Kicks Reese's gun away, and tosses him the handcuffs. In a flash, she's at the window] I HATE locks.

So you save people.

Huntress

On good days.

Then why don't you carry any weapons?

Huntress

I AM the weapon. [Winks and jumps off the balcony]

Huntress

I know what you are.

Then you know you can't win.

Huntress

You're killing your own kind, WHY?

I'm NOT your kind. You're a MONSTER! And as long as even one of you exists, I'm a FREAK! This pain in my head comes from YOU! Every time I get near one of you, I change into something... I don't wanna be. Into something that I HATE! So, I am going to destroy all of you. And when the last one of you dies I'll be normal. I'll be free!

Huntress

And I'M the one in therapy.

Huntress

If you wanna know if I killed him... I didn't, he jumped. You look terrible.

And you don't.

Huntress

Another perk of the meta lifestyle, I heal quick. On the outside, anyway. [Moves towards Reese] I can't decide if I should thank you for not shooting me or beat you senseless for drawing a gun on me. You know things like me are dangerous and violent.

Are you saying that you aren't dangerous and violent?

Huntress

Absolutely, I am. But not because I'm meta.

[Sighs] Look... I'm just... I'm not used to-

Huntress

No. It's time for you to listen: Metahumans are just people. Not all metas are bad, just like not all cops are good. There's lot of metahuman criminals in New Gotham. Because there's a lot of criminals here, period. And as for me, I'm half-meta and I'm half-human and I am proud of both.

I never thought you killed him. But, beat him to a bloody pulp? That one crossed my mind a few times. [Beat] Hey... Why won't you just tell me your name?

Huntress

...'Cause the first time we met, you asked me WHO I was - But last night, you asked me WHAT I was. I won't tell you my name; You haven't earned it.

Malcolm

[Introducing Huntress] And in the cage to the right, her challenger, the Green Scorpion...

The Huntress

Green Scorpion?

Malcolm

...of Doom!

The Huntress

Great, because that makes it better.

Barbara

Stay BACK, Helena!

Huntress

Barbara, listen to me- AAARGH!

Barbara

There's nothing left to say!

Huntress

Yes, there is. You have saved me so many times, it's my turn. When my mom died, you told me something that I didn't understand until right now: You told me, revenge might dull the pain but the less we felt, the less we were.

Barbara

It was a lie!

Huntress

No, it wasn't. Barbara, this is my last chance to get forgiveness for what I did. If I could give my life to have Wade back, you know I would... But I CAN'T. Barbara, WE DON'T KILL, no matter what. I can't let you do this. It makes us less. IT MAKES US LESS.
