Hawkgirl quotes from Justice League

Aresia

You fools! Don't you see? We're not your enemy, it's the men! They must be destroyed.

Hippolyta

You're wrong Aresia. Without men, you wouldn't still be here. After your ship sank, you must have lost consciousness as you drifted on your makeshift raft. You would surely have drowned had the ship's captain not found you and pulled you to safety. Valiantly he struggled to keep you alive until he brought you to the shores of Themyscira. But the effort was too much for his heart. His final resting place is a simple, unmarked grave. He's the only man ever buried on Themyscira. So you see, for all your hatred of men, it turns out you owe your life to one.

Aresia

...Why didn't you ever tell me about this?

Hippolyta

I didn't think it was important. [ashamed] I didn't think he was important.

Hawkgirl

Maybe it's time to reconsider that.

Aresia

So everything you ever preached was a lie?

Hippolyta

Not everything.

Aresia

[beat] Still, the acts of one man cannot redeem the sins of his kind! [turns toward the control panel] They all must pay!

Hippolyta

NO! [Aresia knocks her out of the landing bay doors]

Flash

Hey, Cookie.

Hawkgirl

One word and you'll be the fastest man alive WITH A LIMP.

Hawkgirl

Are you okay?

Green Lantern

It's stupid really - why should I feel like this? I mean, they weren't even real.

Hawkgirl

They gave their lives for us. That's real enough for me.

Green Lantern

I've never thought much about the choices I've made. Maybe if I'd taken the other road, I'd be where Mason is now. Rich, successful...

Hawkgirl

[wryly] And engaged to a beautiful woman?

Hawkgirl

Whose hand is that?

Flash

Sorry.

Superman

[about the Blackhawks] Friends of yours?

Hawkgirl

They are now.

Green Lantern

What took you?

Hawkgirl

I had to fix my hair.

I was just thinking... you, me, Wonder Woman, Superman - we are all of us orphans and exiles.

Hawkgirl

Maybe we should call ourselves the "Just Us League."

Hawkgirl

So what are you saying? You'd sacrifice millions of lives just because you don't like this guy?

Superman

You don't know Darkseid like I do.

Batman

We know he used you, humiliated you, brainwashed you, wound you up like a tin soldier and turned you loose against Earth. [Gets right up in Superman's face] Cry me a river. On the outside chance that this isn't one of his schemes, we have to take action - so I suggest you get over it.

Brainiac has already destroyed countless civilizations, and now he threatens another. Do you want this to be the legacy of your people?

Welcome, Kal-El. Once I offered you the chance to join me in carrying on the legacy of Krypton. Today, I renew that offer.

Superman

You must be joking.

Why do you reject your great heritage? The entire history of your planet, its knowledge and splendor, its awe and mystery are encoded within me.

Hawkgirl

Superman, don't-

I am Krypton.

Superman

You're a perversion, dishonoring the very memory of my father and all my people.

And this is your final decision?

Superman

Read my lips: Go. To- [Brainiac cuts him off]

Unfortunate - but predictable.

[upon scanning Batman] You don't have any powers.

Batman

I have this. [Pulls out piece of kryptonite. Amazo begins to suffer its effects.] It's a package deal. You get our powers, but you get our weaknesses too.

Hawkgirl

You always carry a piece of kryptonite with you?

Batman

Call it insurance.

Hawkgirl

And they say I'm scary.

Flash

I say we let 'em waste each other.

Hawkgirl

Since when do we do what you say?

So small, all of you. And so meaningless. There's nothing I want from you anymore. None of you has anything to offer me now.

Wonder Woman

Where did he go?

Where gods belong.

Lex Luthor

Oh stop. He's just a machine. I don't care how much power he has, he's no god.

Superman

Then why do I have a feeling that if he ever comes back, you're going to be doing a lot of praying?

Perhaps we'll all be praying.

Copperhead

[jumps onto Hawkgirl's back] You're flying me outta here now, lady!

Copperhead

Well? Get me outta here!

Hawkgirl

And what if I don't?

Copperhead

[flicks his tongue] I give you your last kiss...

Hawkgirl

And you fall forty stories.

Hawkgirl

[smiles] Didn't really think this through, did you?

Hawkgirl

[to Copperhead (who's still clinging to her)] He'll live. You won't.

Copperhead

I'm not scared!

Green Lantern

Then maybe this'll help: you do anything to her, and you won't even make it to the ground.

Green Lantern

Good bluff.

Hawkgirl

Who was bluffing?
