Hawkgirl quotes from Justice League

Hawkgirl

[strained, to Black Siren] So, you fight crime AND bake cookies. How DO you do it?

Hawkgirl

You wanna settle down now? Please say no!

Flash

Whoa! Where have you been all my life?

Wonder Woman

Themyscira.

Flash

Huh?

Hawkgirl

The home of the Amazons. I always thought it was merely a legend.

Wonder Woman

I assure you, it's as real as the ground on which we stand on. I am Diana, Princess of the Amazons.

Flash

Pinch me, I must be dreaming. [Superman elbows him] Ow!

Wonder Woman

Themyscira is protected by the gods. But I could not idly stand by when the rest of the world is in danger.

Superman

It was lucky you showed up when you did.

No. Not luck. I telepathically summoned them.

Flash

Look, I'm usually pretty quick on the uptake, but would someone please tell me, what the heck is going on here? [Everyone looks at him]

Wonder Woman

So, J'onn J'onzz, you came from Mars to warn us?

Flash

This is just too weird.

Green Lantern

I've seen stranger things.

Flash

What's the problem? Can't you just whip up another batch of that nerve gas?

Unfortunately, no. The gas can only be made from a rare Martian plant. I brought a sample with me, but it was destroyed when I was captured.

Flash

Uh, what's Plan B?

Wonder Woman

We'll have to take out those factories.

Green Lantern

Lady, this is no job for amateurs.

Wonder Woman

We Amazons are warriors born! Want to test me?

Superman

Lets not fight among ourselves. John, we're going to need all the help we can get.

Green Lantern

Fine. Sorry, "your highness". Tactically, we'll have multiple objectives. We'll need to split into teams.

Flash

Dibs on the Amazon! [cut to Flash and Green Lantern] You are no fun!

Green Lantern

This isn't supposed to be fun. We've got a job to do. We'll do it better without distractions. Understood?

Flash

Yeah, yeah. I hear you.

Superman

Are you always so eager to fight?

Hawkgirl

My homeworld, Thanagar, is a war-like world. There, one must strike first or die.

Superman

I once thought I could protect the world by myself, but I was wrong. Working together, we saved the planet, and I believe that if we stay together as a team, we could be a force that could truly work for the ideals of peace and justice.

The Flash

What, like a bunch of... super friends?

Superman

More like a Justice League.

The Flash

You have no idea how corny that sounds. But maybe the big guy's got a point. With all of us behind it, it just might work. Count me in.

Green Lantern

Me too.

Hawkgirl

And me.

Wonder Woman

My mother may not approve, but I found Man's World to be quite intriguing. I'll gladly join.

Wonder Woman is on another case, Superman's dealing with an earthquake and Batman would only say that he's "busy".

Hawkgirl

Typical.

Superman

Hawkgirl!

Hawkgirl

What? [Superman flies off to prevent the ship from crashing] Oh, that.

Flash

Aren't you gonna thank me?

Hawkgirl

Down, boy.

Hawkgirl

I'm used to being thanked when I save someone.

Batman

I'm not used to being saved.

Flash

And I had those flames out before the firemen even stepped off their trucks.

Hawkgirl

That's fast.

Flash

Fastest man alive.

Hawkgirl

Which might explain why you can't get a date.

Flash

Yeah... Hey! What's that supposed to mean?

Hippolyta

That necklace belongs to Aresia - she's supposed to be here in solitary meditation.

Hawkgirl

Looks like she got tired of contemplating her navel. Nobody's been here in weeks!

Hippolyta

I feared as much...

Hawkgirl

So why was she in here? Did she do something wrong?

Hippolyta

No. It was the final step of her rebirth. You see, Aresia was not born an Amazon - she comes from Man's World. When she was but a child, her homeland became the battlefield for a bloody and senseless war. The victors were cruel, and denied even the basic humanity of their defeated foes. Soon neighbours, friends and schoolmates were all gone. Her family had no choice but to flee. They eventually made their way to a refugee ship... but even here fate was not kind. Pirates raided the ship and stole their few meager possessions. [flashback shows the pirates firing at the ship, sinking it] Aresia survived, clinging to a piece of floating wreckage. Miraculously, she washed ashore here, on Themyscira. I found her, and nursed her back to health. Then, we Amazons adopted her, trained her, and magically endowed her with Amazon strength. I've often wondered if we did the right thing... Still, how could we refuse?

Hawkgirl

You couldn't.

Hippolyta

And now, she's deserted us.

Hawkgirl

[walks up to a chest] Maybe we'll find some answers in here. [lifts the lid open]

Hippolyta

What is it?

Hawkgirl

Books. [pulls one out] Maps, city guides...

Hippolyta

These things are forbidden here!

Hawkgirl

Why?

Hippolyta

We believe contact with outside world could corrupt us.

Hawkgirl

[regards book in her hands, entitled "History of Germ Warfare"] It's sure starting to look that way.

Batman

So this Aresia is not really an Amazon?

Hawkgirl

She's an orphan. It's hard to imagine what that kind of trauma could do to a child.

Wonder Woman

[about Aresia, to Hawkgirl] Even when she was a child, I could sense a bitterness within in her. She was never really one of us.

Hawkgirl

I think she fits in pretty well.

Wonder Woman

[shocked] How can you say that?!

Hawkgirl

Aresia's just taking her precious Amazon code to its logical extension.

Wonder Woman

We don't teach hatred!

Hawkgirl

Except when it comes to men.

Wonder Woman

[lands in front of a female firefighter] Do you need help here?

[wiping soot off her face] Thanks, but we finally got this one contained.

Hawkgirl

[to a female paramedic] Any remaining victims?

Just sent the last one to Gotham General.

[to her squad] Alright ladies, let's wrap this up! [the other female firefighters climb onto the firetruck as it drives away]

Hawkgirl

They seem to be on top of things. Impressive.

Wonder Woman

[proudly] Almost reminds me of home.

Hawkgirl

But who wants to live in a world without men?

Wonder Woman

They can't possibly be that essential to your life.

Hawkgirl

Don't knock it 'til you've tried it, Princess.
