“Unfinished Business” quotes from Criminal Minds

You've come to offer help?

Dr. Fate

Not help. Hope.

Amazo

An intriguing idea, modifying the cannon so that it could alter my programming, and it might've worked... a month ago, when I was still nanotech. But I have transcended that limitation.

Lex Luthor

A subatomic universe.

Figured the android can't kill what he can't see.

Amazo

Oh, but I can see you. [Atom and Luthor are revealed to be standing on Amazo's hand] Did you really think I couldn't follow you here? No universe, however large, however small, is denied to me.

Lex Luthor

What do you want from me?

Amazo

You have everything humans desire: wealth, power... yet you crave more, and you'll do anything to get it. Why? What is your ultimate purpose?

Lex Luthor

What you're really asking is, what is yours?

Dr. Fate

Wait. Please. The android's nature has proved benign before. I believe it will again.

Green Lantern

Benign?! You call destroying Oa benign?! [all assembled Green Lanterns aim their rings at Dr. Fate] Not even you can stand against the Green Lantern Corps. [Dr. Fate steps aside, and the Lanterns find the room empty] What the devil's going on?

Dr. Fate

Lex Luthor is saving the world.

Lex Luthor

The truth is, for all my struggles to make my mark in life, for all I've accomplished, in just a few short generations my name will be forgotten. Even the greatest of us can't compete with time... and death.

Amazo

Then why do you go on? Why does anyone? Why don't I just destroy you and everything else right now? [winds start swirling] All it would take is a single thought and-

Lex Luthor

No! If you do that, you won't see the end of it!

Amazo

The end of what?

Lex Luthor

The evolutionary process. You of all beings should know something about that.

Amazo

Yes. Yes, I'm evolving. That's why Professor Ivo made me. These past months I have amassed so much knowledge, and yet... I remain confused... empty. What am I evolving into? What is my purpose?! I must know! TELL ME!

Lex Luthor

There's no way to tell. And that's why I stay in the game. My purpose, if you will, is to see where it's all going. And you! You'll live forever. You'll be able to see it all.

Amazo

Is that my purpose? Simply to be... a witness?

Lex Luthor

We create our own purpose in life. Now go create yours.

Lex Luthor

You know, when I heard you were coming I was actually afraid of you. Petrified. But now, when I see your fear, your uncertainty, I just pity you.

You should have quit while you were ahead.

Dr. Fate

It's over. Isn't it?

Amazo

Yes.

Green Lantern

He murders an entire world, and it's over? Just like that? I don't think so!

Amazo

I did not destroy Oa - I simply moved it to another dimension. [everyone stares] It was in my way.

Then could you move it back?

Amazo

Done.

Dr. Fate

I can help you on your journey. In your search for meaning.

Amazo

Help me? Why?

Dr. Fate

Because that... is my purpose.

Told you we'd beat him!

Lex Luthor

What do you mean, "we"?

Are you all right?

Dr. Fate

Fine, although there was a moment when I actually thought John Stewart was going to attack me.

Shayera Hol

Oh, I don't know about that. His bark's a lot worse than his bite.

The new Bermuda Platform's under attack. If it collapses, we're gonna have the worst oil spill in history on our hands. I've told those idiots to stay out of my ocean.

Superman

ETA is three minutes, Aquaman.

Wonder Woman

Right behind you, Superman.

See you there, Diana.

These geniuses dug right into the Earth's magma. Never occurred to them there'd be anything living down there.

Not to worry, fellow heroes. The Ultimen are here.

Not them again.

Now, is that nice?

You know, Juice, Superman was my hero when I was a lad. It's not his fault he's getting old.

Superman

"Old"?! [breaks free]

Old but spry, sir, old but spry!

It's, uh, really an honor to be working with you, Wonder Woman.

Wonder Woman

Thank you, Long Shadow.

Lend them a hand, Brother?

Absolutely, Sister.

Flood!

Sea serpent!

Don't be afraid, Wonder Woman. It's only me, Shifter.

Wonder Woman

Any chance you could warn me before you try to drown me?

We were only trying to help.

[surrounded with Aquaman by Lava men] Can you make telepathic contact?

Do they look like fish to you?

Don't despair, old chum.

I didn't know you could do that.

Neither did I. Finding new sources of fuel for an energy starved world is truly a worthy endeavor. But in man's quest to better himself, he must respect all of the world's creatures, including those poor beasts whose homes you've disturbed. It's imperative that we learn to share our planet if Earth is to survive.

He's certainly... earnest.

Superman

I think the word is "corny."

Wonder Woman

Our paths keep crossing, and our goals are very much the same. Isn't it time you accepted our offer?

All right!

We're truly flattered, Wonder Woman, but we're simply not ready yet. All of you in the Justice League stand as shining examples of what true heroism is. I only hope that one day-- the Ultimen can live up to your legend.

Superman

Oh, for crying out loud.

Wonder Woman? I... I think it'd be terrific if one day we could join the League, but--

Wonder Woman

Maybe you could come with me on patrol sometime.

Oh! Oh, that would be--

Let's go, Romeo.

What I wanna know is-

"Why can't we join the Justice League?"

Hey, it's all right. I used to think like that.

Used to? What happened?

I dunno. I guess I just started wanting stuff.

Me will do anything for the woman he loves! Even break her boyfriend out of prison!

Wonder Woman

And what's gonna happen then?

Uh... [gets knocked out]

[in free fall, having bailed out of his plane] Batman to all points. I could use some air support. Since I can't fly. At all. [continues to fall and states calmly] Now would be good. [Superman catches him only a few feet from the ground]

Wonder Woman

[holding Atom in her palm] Ready?

Just don't squeeze.
