Huntress quotes from Justice League Unlimited

Huntress

Oh, baby doll. And just for the record, I usually prefer my dates to have a face.

Huntress

They've had you up every night working the arena. No wonder you've been fighting like a girl. [pause] You know what I mean.

Huntress

Steven Mandragora. Been a while. I've changed some since we met last. But you haven't changed. All these years you've been building your empire with thievery and murder. But it ends tonight. No.

Huntress!

Huntress

John, I...

You were warned. You were told to stay away from Mandragora. You have violated my direct orders. You've crossed the line.

Huntress

You've been watching me?

Given what occurred tonight, I'd say it was a wise precaution.

Huntress

You know what Mandragora did. And I almost had him. He should have been there, but someone tipped him. You did it.

I had Mandragora moved, yes. For his own protection. And yours.

Huntress

All right, J'onn, so I get some Justice League demerits. Fine. Just spare me the lecture. I can find him without your help.

You misunderstand. Tonight was a test, and you failed. Pack your things, Huntress. You're out. You'll need to turn in your identification card immediately.

Huntress

Fine. I hope you choke on it.

Question

Oh, Cadmus, Cadmus, wherefore art thou, Cadmus? I know there's a connection. Don't think I won't find it.

Huntress

You're the League's data guy, the conspiracy buff, right? Wildcat says you're a nutjob.

Question

Funny, he says the same thing about you.

Huntress

He's right.

Huntress

You must be the ugliest guy of all time, Question, hiding your face like that.

Question

Go away.

Huntress

Wow. I had no idea that the Girl Scouts were responsible for the crop circle phenomenon.

Question

Few people do. Few even think to ask the question.

Huntress

Do you know what "apophenia" is?

Question

Apophenia, noun. The tendency to see connections where none exists. Did you come here just to make fun of my work?

Green Arrow

Alright you two, stay here. Don't make me sic Black Canary on you - you've only seen her nice side so far.

Question

Ow! What was that for?

Huntress

All that crazy mystery man mojo, and you couldn't even pick up a clue without being seen?

Question

The key wasn't the clue. The key was mine. Now, this list of container ship arrivals I palmed when they were yelling at you: that's the clue.

Huntress

You're even smarter than they say.

Question

Smart enough to realize you don't know jack about Cadmus.

Huntress

...I needed your help.

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

Jimmy. Jimmy?

Huntress

Not exactly. Some kind of hypersonic signal, right? Keeps good time too.

Superman

What do you think you're doing?

Huntress

Your little pal is fine. I was just trying to get your attention. You guys need a hot line.

Superman

A minute, Jimmy. This better be good.

Huntress

Question's been missing for almost a week. Just before he disappeared, he was behaving oddly. I mean, oddly for him. He saw a fake tape of you killing Luthor, freaked out and ran off.

Superman

Question, this is Superman. Come in, please. Channel's open, but he's not responding. J'onn should be able to track his location.

Huntress

Oh, no.

Huntress

I'll find you, baby.

Superman

Not here you won't. They wouldn't have bothered to dump his comlink unless they took him alive.

Huntress

It has to be Cadmus. But if they've got him, we'll never find him.

Superman

Sure we will. We've been keeping tabs on Cadmus for months. We know exactly where they are.

Huntress

And you didn't do anything?

Superman

The Justice League plays by the rules. We'll move when we have solid evidence, not before. And we'll move within the limits of the law.

Huntress

That's why I quit.

Superman

The way I remember it, you were fired. But you may have a point this time.

Huntress

So?

Superman

So you and I will do this togheter. And we're doing it off the books. We're past the lead shielding. I should be able to find Question with my x-ray vision. Hold on. Didn't want you to get hit by a ricochet. Hold the fort. I've got some personal business.

Huntress

Hey, take your time.

Superman

A lot of things are starting to make sense now, Professor Hamilton. When did Cadmus recruit you?

Recruit me? I went to them.

Superman

How can you work for these people? Do you know what they are?

Power brokers, politicians, criminals, and black ops mercenaries with one thing in common besides: they're humanity's last hope against your kind.

Superman

What are you talking about? Humanity doesn't need protection from us.

I used to believe that. I thought you were a guardian angel, come to answer our prayers. But Lucifer was an angel too, wasn't he?

Superman

Professor-

You forget: I've been on the receiving end of your wrath, when you brought Supergirl to S.T.A.R. Labs for medical treatment. I know what you're capable of.

Superman

That's what this is about? One little scare and you betray us?! You stole Kara's DNA! Violated her trust! My trust!

The chicken, or the egg, Superman?

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?
