Alfred Pennyworth quotes from Justice League

Alfred Pennyworth

[finding a bound Thanagarian] I've asked Master Bruce to refrain from leaving trash on the lawn.

Alfred

I'm afraid it's time, master Bruce.

Batman

I'm not going to the funeral.

Alfred

[surprised] Why?

Batman

Because he's not dead. What tipped me off was the lack of evidence.

Alfred

Sir?

Batman

[showing the table of debris] I brought all this from the crime scene, and I've examined it every way I know how.

Alfred

And you found?

Batman

Absolutely nothing. No scorching, no residue, no radiation. Objects were here, then they were gone.

Alfred

I'm afraid I don't understand.

Batman

Matter can't be created or destroyed, just changed from one form into another.

Alfred

As you say, sir. I believe I heard something about that when I attended grammar school.

Batman

So unless the law of conservation of mass has been repealed, there's still hope. [As Toyman's weapon was technological, not magical, the laws of physics must apply.]

Uh, hi. We're looking for Bruce Wayne? We're friends.

Alfred Pennyworth

Of course, Master Bruce is expecting you. This way, please.

So, Jeeves, do you come with the place, or does "Master Bruce" just rent you out for parties?

Alfred Pennyworth

I've been in service here since the master was in diapers.

[turns to John] Now, there's a picture.

Alfred Pennyworth

Your guests have arrived, sir.

Batman

You're late.

Nice to see you too.

[seeing Batman's trophy T-rex] Hey! That's a giant dinosaur!

Alfred Pennyworth

And I thought Batman was the detective.

Hro Talak

There's no us anymore, Shayera. Just a fallen traitor And a soldier with a job to do. She won't save you again, lantern. No woman's skirt to hide behind. No ring. What are you going to do now?

Green Lantern

I was thinking of introducing you to my friend here!

All construction personnel now en route to mother ship.

Good. Begin activation sequence.

Green Lantern

That all you got? My grandma hits harder than you.

Hro Talak

No!

Wonder Woman

Who's next?!

Hro Talak

Stand down! Lower your weapons.

Commander?

Hro Talak

Our mission is a failure. There's no more reason to fight. Let them go. I hope you're pleased with yourself. It will take years for us to rebuild elsewhere.

Then you'd better get started.

This is Snapper Carr reporting. In a stunning turn of events, the Thanagarian Forces have ended their occupation of earth, departing for locations unknown. Once again, the world owes a debt of gratitude To the selfless heroism of the Justice League.

They've been in there a long time.

Alfred Pennyworth

Yes, miss, they have. If I may be so bold, I'm neither a superhero, nor a soldier, so I'm hardly qualified to judge your actions by those standards. But I do know this: without the great sacrifices you've made, we wouldn't be here to share this nice pot of tea. Whatever they decide in that room, in my eyes, you'll always be a hero.

Wonder Woman

She exploited our weaknesses, betrayed us--

Flash

Come on! She was in the ultimate no-win situation. But when push came to shove, she came through for us, just like always.

She's a pariah to her people. We're all she has left.

Superman

Believe me, J'onn. I feel for her, but after everything that's happened. I honestly don't know if I could ever completely trust her again.

Batman

We're arguing in circles. It's time to take a vote.

Alfred Pennyworth

They've sent for you, miss.

Thank you, Alfred.

Superman

Hawkgirl.

Before you start, I have something to say... I came to this planet as a patriot. I had a mission, and I carried it out. What I couldn't know was that I would come to care for the earth And her people... That I've come to care for all of you. I've spent the last 5 years torn between my feelings And my duty. I won't ask you to do the same. Therefore I am resigning from the justice league, Effective immediately.

Flash

Great. No Hawkgirl. No Javelin. No Watchtower. What's gonna happen to the League now? Do we all just walk away?

No. We rebuild, starting today.

Superman

J'onn's right. Earth still needs us, and we'll never let her down. It's our duty. :Green Lantern: You never asked how we voted.

It doesn't matter.

Green Lantern

Where are you gonna go?

I don't know. Someplace where the fate of the world wasn't in my hands. Someplace where there's no more secrets, no more lies.

Green Lantern

Was it all a lie?

I love you, John. I never lied about that. [flies away]

Green Lantern

[tears falling off his face] I love you, too.
