Question quotes from Justice League Unlimited

Question

But you saw it all, Helena. Steven Mandragora killed your parents while you watched helplessly. Isn't that what happened?

Huntress

[wipes away a tear] If you knew all that, then you probably know what I'm gonna do to Mandragora when I catch him. So why help me?

Question

That... is the question.

Question

Somebody's following us.

Huntress

Lose them!

Question

Like airline luggage.

Black Canary

[through the com-link] Stop the car, Question. Pull over!

Question

Stop following us, Canary.

Huntress

Is that her? Give me that! [plucks com-link from Question's ear]

Question

Hey!

Huntress

[speaks through the com-link] You want a piece of me, blondie? Bring it! [steps on the accelerator]

Huntress

Train...!

Question

I see it.

Huntress

TRAIN!

Question

I see it!

Huntress

You knew all along that kid was gonna be on that freighter.

Question

I do my homework.

Huntress

Then why go to all the the trouble to help? Why risk your life for me?

Question

[embarrassed] Because I... like you.

Question

Where are we going?

Huntress

Don't ask so many questions.

Black Canary

[to Green Arrow] I'm sorry, but... ew.

Superman

Something I can help you with?

Question

I hope so. But I assume you don't want to discuss your White House weenie-roast in front of a crowd.

Superman

[to others] I'll be back in a few minutes. [he leads Question to the empty conference room]

Question

Always wondered what was in here. Private conference room. Original members only, yes? A place where you're free to discuss your secrets and lies...

Superman

You said something about me in the White House.

Question

Not you exactly. Another version of you, hmm?

Superman

Stop dancing around it. Tell me what you know.

Question

I know what you told everyone. The Justice Lords, a parallel universe version of the Justice League, came to our world to rid it of crime, just as they did on their own world. With Lex Luthor's help, our Justice League managed to rout them before they could impose their totalitarian will on our populace. I also know what you didn't tell anyone, outside of the original seven members of the Justice League. On that other Earth, so very much like our own, a Superman, so very much like you, killed the President.

Superman

[tenses up, accidentally damaging a chair he was leaning on] Question, no one can know about this.

Question

Or what? You'll incinerate me too?

Superman

I'd never do anything like that.

Question

Wouldn't you? Didn't you recently try to lobotomize Doomsday with your heat vision, just as the Justice Lord did?

Superman

That's different!

Question

It's the same. A heavily-armed Watchtower with an army of proactive heroes, Luthor running for President - if it's not quite the same, it soon will be! Have you seen Amanda Waller's computer simulations?

Superman

Batman told me about them.

Question

Did he tell you all the models predict that a war between the Justice League and the government will devastate the planet?!

Superman

We would never fight the government!

Question

Not even if Luthor was the government?! [beginning to ramble in fear] Predestined... Flash will die, you will kill Luthor, Armageddon... inevitable...

Superman

Question, I'm... [puts a hand on his shoulder; the Question recoils with a gasp] I'm worried about you. You're mixed up. This world isn't like the other one. We're not the Justice Lords. Those things you're afraid of will never happen here. I won't let them.

Lex Luthor

Question, isn't it? I believe you took something that belongs to me.

Question

Have you seen the latest polls? It's beginning to look like you're going to be our next President. Just like in that other world.

Lex Luthor

[casually] I wouldn't bet against me.

Question

No, it wouldn't be prudent. I want you to understand something, Luthor. Although my distaste for you as a human being is brobdingnagian, what I'm about to do isn't personal.

Lex Luthor

What are you babbling about?

Question

Everything that exists has a specific nature. Each entity exists as something in particular and has characteristics that are part of what it is. A is A, and no matter what reality he calls home, Luthor is Luthor. If I'm to save the world, your existence must come to an end before you take office. [removes his tie]

Luthor

[unafraid] You're going to kill me so that Superman can't.

Question

I'm a well-known crackpot. The Justice League's reputation will survive my actions, and Superman's legacy will remain intact. [holds up his tie, preparing to choke Luthor]

Luthor

Interesting plan. Unfortunately for you, it's not really an option.

Luthor

President? Foolish faceless man. My campaign is a farce - a small part of a much grander scheme. President! Do you know how much power I'd have to give up to be President? That's right, conspiracy buff. I spent 75 million dollars on a fake presidential campaign. All just to tick Superman off! [Luthor then slams Question, breaking his desk at the same time, and peers closer to him] Now, about those files you stole from me.

This doesn't have to continue. I can stop you from seeing the visions at any time. You stole files from our computer. Just tell me what you've learned.

Question

[babbling about various conspiracy theories] Topically-applied fluoride doesn't prevent tooth decay. It does render teeth detectable by spy satellite!

Tell me what you know.

Question

The plastic tips at the ends of shoelaces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister!

[getting annoyed] Tell me what you know.

Question

There was a magic bullet! It was forged by Illuminati mystics to prevent us from learning the truth!

Have it your way. This will continue until I break you.

Perhaps, even afterwards.

Huntress

Next time, go to the bathroom before you leave for a mission.

Superman

Let's go.

Superman

Don't be stupid - drop it.

Huntress

Sorry - not good enough. [knocks Dr. Moon to the floor and pulls her crossbow on him]

Superman

Huntress!

Huntress

[backs off] Yeah. Okay. Lean on me. We're getting outta here.

Question

[weak, babbling] Secret messages encoded in amino acid chains in carb-free breakfast bars.

Huntress

Come on, baby doll. It's all right.

Superman

It's gonna be a little rough. It'll take the guards, you get ready to move him.

That won't be necessary, Superman.

Superman

Good to see you, Captain. Cover our flank.

I'm afraid you misunderstand. I'm speaking as an officer of the United States Air Force.

Huntress

Bad time to grow a sense of humor, Cap.

No joke, ma'am. I'm currently assigned to General Eiling's special projects unit. My orders are to prevent you from taking Question out of this facility. So how's this gonna go down?

Superman

This is ridiculous. If you're not gonna help us, get out of our way!

Not an option, Superman. I've got my orders, legal and proper.

Huntress

Dude, Superman just told you to step aside.

I heard him, ma'am. Not gonna happen. [Superman makes to move past him, but he forms red energy with his fists and punches Superman across the room with ease] I control radiation, Superman. That includes red sun radiation.

Superman

Get Question out of here. Don't wait for me.

Huntress

What made you think I was gonna.

Superman

Call J'onn for transport, when you get outside. This buiding's commlink shielded.

Nobody's going anywhere with Question. Thought I made that clear.

Question

You shouldn't have come from me.

Huntress

You shouldn't have snuck away without me. Locked. Sure, why not?

Superman

Just about enough of the energy blasts.

Question

I can't make it.

Huntress

Sure you can. This is Huntress. Two for emergency pickup.

You are no longer a member of the Justice League. Clear this channel and--

Huntress

Save it. Cue it down and we're under fire get us out of here then scan the area. Superman won't be far behind us.

Superman

Taught a good fight. Stay down.

I can't do that, Superman.

Superman

Don't you touch him! He's Justice League. [Carries Captain Atom out]

Question

Wait. Get this off my face. Aerosol in my coat pocket.

Supergirl

What happened?

Superman

Cadmus turned him against us.

Supergirl

No way. He'd never do that.

Superman

But he did, and so did Professor Hamilton. Hamilton's working for Cadmus. He's probably the one who--

Supergirl

Cloned me. Why?

Superman

He was afraid of us. I'm sorry, Kara.

Supergirl

Don't be. Just tell me when we're gonna go and shut them down.

Superman

One stop first. Wait here.

Green Arrow

What's going on? :Huntress: He's gonna be fine, but he needs his rest.

Superman

I'll only be a moment.

Question

It's okay, Helena.

Huntress

Five minutes.

Question

You were right. I am the ugliest guy of all time.

Huntress

Not in my eyes. [kisses him]

Superman

What happened, Question? How did Cadmus get ahold of you?

Question

I went to kill Luthor so that you wouldn't be able to.

Superman

That's not how we do things.

Question

How do we do things, Superman? Your counterpart killed Luthor, this Luthor is scheming to enrage you--

Superman

Doing a pretty good job of it.

Question

Ruining your reputation, turning your friends and comrades against you, creating a superpowered arms race - but you cannot succumb.

Superman

I can shut down Cadmus without killing Luthor.

Question

Carry on, then. If you're wrong, it's not like it's the end of the world... right?

Huntress

I'm telling you Q, Canary's totally off her game. Think she's moonlighting? Maybe she's stepping out on Green Arrow...

The Question

The deeper mystery here is why do you even care? Isn't this the woman who beat the snot out of you a few months back?

Huntress

She got a lucky shot in! Okay, five or six lucky shots. Anyway, that's not the poin-

The Question

[takes the lid off of a container] Aha! As I suspected - thirty-two flavors.

Huntress

There's something wrong here, Q, I can feel it.

The Question

I'm the conspiracy theorist, and even I don't see anything.

Huntress

[pauses; sighs] So... what are you wearing?

The Question

Blue overcoat. Fedora.

Huntress

[scoffs] You really stink at this.

The Question

...Orange socks?
