Maxima quotes from Superman: The Animated Series

Maxima

Superman... YOW!

De'Cine

I'm impressed.

Maxima

I'm not, if that's all you got to show me.

De'Cine

Patience, Maxima. Sometimes the hunter likes to play with its prey.

Maxima

Yes, sometimes she does!

De'Cine

The prey is cornered. The victory is mine, and so are you, Maxima. My queen, my mate.

Maxima

My FOOT!

Sazu

My lady, another candidate has been found. The scouts have brought visual recording of his heroic deeds.

Maxima

Sure. I could use a good laugh. Bring it to my room.

Sazu

The Earth natives call him "Superman."

Maxima

Hmm, "Super-Man". I like those shoulders... and that chin. Oh, our children will be absolutely gorgeous!

Who do you think you are?

Maxima

[Maxima picks him up and uses him as a club to beat his friends unconscious] I am the Lady Maxima, Royal Queen, Head of the Royal House, and leader of all Almerac. [spins the thug until he's nearly unconscious and puts him on unsteady feet] Feel free to bow.

Angela Chen

We're in trouble, people! Superman piece is coming up short. We need to fill two minutes, anybody have any ideas?

Maxima

[shoves her way into the studio] I said, out of my way!

Angela Chen

Excuse me...?

Maxima

I am the Lady Maxima, warrior queen, head of the royal house, leader of all Almerac... and Superman's betrothed.

Angela Chen

[skyward] Thank you!

Maxima

No one has ever lasted this long with me... no one! You are... my equal! [she dissipates the girder, springs to her feet and hugs him] This is the happiest day of my life!

Superman

[confused] I'm... glad.

Maxima

Of course, now you'll have to marry me.

Superman

You can't just barge in and make demands like that!

Maxima

Why not? On my planet I do it all the time.

Superman

Well, this isn't Almanac.

Maxima

Almerac.

Superman

Whatever. Here on Earth, marriage isn't something you can command. Marriage is a willing partnership where husbands and wives share the decisions and sacrifices.

Lucille

What planet is he from?

Maxima

I have the power to do as I please!

Superman

And the responsibility to do what is right! As leader, you serve the people. They don't serve you.

Maxima

I used to use these ancient tunnels as a prison.

Superman

No wonder you're so popular.

Maxima

This time D'cine, it's no game. This time, I kill you.

Superman

Maxima-

Maxima

I... don't kill him? [Superman shakes his head] I... lock him up? [Brightens] For a really long time!

Maxima

Are there any more like you at home?

Superman

No. But as my mother always says, "there's someone for everybody".

Lobo

I'm here to get that fraggin', scum-suckin', rat-scratchin' D'cine, and nobody better stop me!

Maxima

Yow!
