Tala quotes from Justice League Unlimited

Deadshot

C'est la vie.

Tend to her. They thought of everything.

Amanda Waller

You really think we can do something with this?

Tala

An invulnerable juggernaut forged by the gods? Oh yes, Ms. Waller, most definitely.

Green Lantern

How did you know Vance was the inside man?

He was the only one on the tower whose mind I couldn't read. Cadmus must have supplied him with a sophisticated method of masking his thoughts.

Green Lantern

So, what do we do with him now?

I'd like to go in there and wipe clean the last two years of his memory.

Green Lantern

Whoa. That's a little harsh, don't you think?

He's a liability.

Green Lantern

I'm sure he's spilled everything he knows to Cadmus.

Don't you understand? We can't trust him.

Green Lantern

J'onn... we can't trust anyone now.

Plastique

Cool it, Martian. Back off, freak show, or the meat puppet eats it.

Colonel Rick Flagg

Come here. Let's go, girl.

Plastique

I've set this for 30 seconds. Plenty of time for you to disarm. Or not, as the case may be.

Not very ladylike behavior, ma'am.

Colonel Rick Flagg

Unh! Plastique!

Plastique

Ah!

C'est la vie.

Tend to her. They thought of everything.

Amanda Waller

You really think we can do something with this?

Tala

An invulnerable juggernaut forged by the gods? Oh, yes, Miss Waller, most definitely.

Amanda Waller

I heard we lost Plastique.

Colonel Rick Flagg

Yes, ma'am. You'll have my full report by 0800.

Amanda Waller

Right. That'll be all. Rick, you're a good soldier. Your father would be proud.

Rick Flagg

Ma'am.

Superman

Is everything okay?

Wonder Woman

Well, I’m sort of missing Flash’s obligatory joke about how Grodd made a monkey out of us.

Superman

Just couldn’t let it go unsaid.

Wonder Woman

Obligatory.

That's it, guys. Yuk it up. You saved the world, but I failed. Everyone in Nanda Parbat is gone-- forever.

We're in your debt again, Justice League.

Superman

If only Luthor and Grodd hadn't gotten away.

If it's any consolation, we've picked up nearly a dozen of his super-powered cronies-- with more to come, I'm sure.

No. I didn't mean.

Superman

Bruce, Deadman took over your body. It wasn't your fault.

Let me explain. He would have shot her. I didn't have a choice.

Boston Brand, your actions have led to the death of another.

I'm sorry. I-- I didn't mean to--

Intentions are immaterial. You were gifted with power to be used to balance the scales of karma. Because of your actions, the scale now is unbalanced.

Unbalanced? Thanks to Devil Ray and his team, the master and all the other monks are dead.

Incorrect. When the heart was shattered, the essences of the monks were set free. Even now their souls return to their rightful places.

No one dies in Nanda Parbat. But the scales are unbalanced. Your work in this world is not yet done.

Lex Luthor

Since there's only one monkey left around here, I'm assuming that the Justice League found a way to stop the carrier wave.

Gorilla Grodd

There's more than one way to peel a banana. Next time--

Lex Luthor

I wasn't going to do this for another couple of weeks, but seriously... [rises from table and draws a gun] Turning all of humanity into apes? [aims weapon at Grodd] That was your master plan?! [Shoots Grodd, then turns to the other villains] Listen up! From now on, I'm in charge of this operation. Anybody got a problem with that?

Tala

No problem at all... baby.

Luthor

Brainiac. You’re in there-- I can almost feel you. [to rock] Abasing myself before Grodd, then running this unwieldy super-gang—it’s all been worth it if I can just free the only piece of you that remains.

Tala

[gently] Lex... Don’t talk to the rock.

Luthor

Stay out of this, witch. It makes no sense. The smallest scrap of Brainiac should be sufficient to reconstitute him.

Tala

Don’t worry, darling. I’m sure it...

Luthor

Unless Grodd is somehow preventing it.

Grodd

What do you want, Luthor?

Luthor

How do I unlock the Brainiac code?

Grodd

You’re a genius; figure it out.

Luthor

Tell me, you leering, manipulative knuckle-dragger, or I'll...

Grodd

Lex, Lex... you can’t expect me to give up my only bargaining chip. What’s in it for me?

Luthor

[enraged] When this is over, I’m going to sell your body for dogmeat!

Grodd

It must pain you to see me like this, after what we’ve been to one another.

Tala

My taste in boyfriends has evolved. Wait, Lex! You’re the leader now. You don’t need to lock horns with him.

Luthor

Don’t bore me with politics. The only thing that matters now is a speck of information locked somewhere deep inside Grodd’s thick skull.

Tala

Yes, okay. So we break his head open and take it. Hey, watch it!

Luthor.

Luthor

I don’t have time to chat, Dr. Polaris.

Well, make time. We don’t think you’ve got what it takes to run the show. You’ve been acting unbalanced, holed up in that lab, talking to yourself...

After Grodd tried to turn the world into apes, you can imagine how seriously we’d take something like that. What are you going to do, make everybody bald?

Maybe you’re not up to the job. Maybe it’s time for younger, smarter, more aggressive leadership.

Luthor

Really.

Yeah. Why should any of us follow you?

Luthor

Because I’ll show you how to make more money in one day than you’ve made in your entire lives.

Tala

Just rest in here.

Hey - that's not restful.

Grodd

Ah, Tala, my old groupie. I so miss bending you to my will.

Tala

Go eat a banana. Lex is my man now. [Leaves with Lex]

Grodd

If you say so.

Roulette

You're playing with fire, witch!

Tala

Who's playing?

Grodd

Giganta, you're out of jail! How's your head?

Giganta

Pretty good, considering you tried to fry my brain! [begins to squeeze Grodd]

Tala

Don't get grabby, Thunderthighs! Grodd is mine now! [Blasts Giganta]

Tala

Trapped like a rat. It's very weird. You have never had so much fun when we were together. [Tala fires a magic spell at Luthor, but it bounces back and knocks her unconscious. He pulls an amulet from under his shirt]

Lex Luthor

You wouldn't believe what this cost me.

Around the world-- [wipes Frost's ice construct with his Yo-yo, knocking her in the ground] Rock the crater-- [Frost creates an ice wall to protect herself, but Toyman uses his yo-yo to break it through and knock her unconscious] Sleeper.
