Black Beetle quotes from Young Justice

Black Beetle

Little brother, one way or another, I'm putting you back on mode. You are of the Reach and cannot escape it.

Black Beetle

(Impulse is throwing tomatoes at him) Now that's just a waste of good fruit.

Black Beetle

I'm sorry your fellow prisoners and their saviors fled. I was looking forward to eighteen against one.

The Scientist

The Scarabs memory files are corrupted. The only recoverable data is from the last eight months. That is, since it fused with this host body. In fact I was just reviewing the point of insertion...

The Ambassador

Spare me the details. If the Scarab is Off-Mode, perform a Reboot.

The Scientist

I'd rather assess the cause of the crash, Ambassador, to make certain it can not happen again.

Black Beetle

No, Scientist. Admit it. You just enjoy playing with the meat.

The Scientist

Well, there's that too.

The Scientist

This human Beetle is a disappointment. How can he be the Reach's advanced operative on Earth if his Scarab refuses to function On-Mode?!

Black Beetle

Then Reboot.

The Scientist

Yes, that may be necessary. Of course, we'd require a new host.

Black Beetle

Finding another will not be difficult. Though removing the Scarab for Mode repair will kill this Jaime Reyes, "meat" is plentiful here.

The link's down. I'm going back in. (Gets throw back by Black Beetle)

Black Beetle

Apologies, meat, but no-one goes anywhere. (Closes the doors using electro-symbiosis)

Wonder Girl

Listen, uh... Black Beetle! You're totally outnumbered! Open those doors now, and we'll go easy on you.

Black Beetle

You will go easy on me? (Starts laughing)

Wonder Girl

What did you do to her?

Black Beetle

Shifted the density of the door. Wasn't quite prepared for that, was she? But don't be jealous. I can put you halfway through the door, too. Halfway...the hard way.

Black Beetle

Any more tricks, meat?

Just a few. (fires)

Black Beetle

Aaaah, nothing like a warm plasma bath to calm the nerves...and clean off tomato stains.

You're just toying with us, aren't you?

Black Beetle

What gave me away?

Virgil Hawkins

Looks like they're frozen.

Black Beetle

They're in stasis. And you will join them soon enough.

Virgil Hawkins

Guys, I saw this creep take down all of these guys back on the Reach ship.

Black Beetle

Please, don't let that stop you from attacking. I could use the exercise. (LongShadow attacks, but Black Beetle deactivates him with his sonic cannon)

Eduardo Dorado Jr.

Please tell me he did not just take out our big gun in three seconds flat.

Virgil Hawkins

Skatter! (Eduardo teleports, but Virgil and Asami are taken down almost immediately)

Black Beetle

So much for exercise.

Eduardo Dorado Jr.

We're throwing everything we've got at this desperado, and barely holding our own. Shouldn't we be freeing some of the good guys?

Arsenal

No. (Arsenal fires at the pod and releases Mongul)

Eduardo Dorado Jr.

Aah, amigo, you don't seem clear on who we're here to rescue.

Arsenal

Trust me, I'm clear. (Black notices Mongul's release)

Black Beetle

Mongul! This is all your fault!

Mongul

Reach. (The two engage in hand-to-hand combat)

Kaldur'ahm

If I may respond?

Black Beetle

No, you may not. Manta, keep your whelp meat silent.

Black Manta

Beetle, your insolence grows progressively less...charming.

The Ambassador

Remember, the Earth is now the property of the Reach, and per our origninal agreement, the Light is merely our favored allies amoungst the humans.

Black Beetle

Show the proper respect, or suffer the consequences.

Black Manta

No agreement exists that makes a slave of Black Manta.

Black Beetle

No agreement exists that guarantees the life of Black Manta.

Black Manta

Manta guarantees that himself. (Both ready their weapons)

It would seem we have a stand-off.

Black Beetle

No, we don't. (Attacks Manta, and a fight breaks out)

Black Beetle

I had hoped to put you back on mode, but it seems all four of you are corrupt.

Green Beetle

You are the one who is corrupted. But my Scarab will reset yours, freeing you from the Reach's control. :(Green's Scarab taps into Black's)

Black Beetle

Freedom is over-rated. (Black sends a signal back to Green, and destroys his scarab) Martians. I hate your kind. Most meat would die from having their Scarab destroyed, but you'll survive, for a while. (He activates his plasma cannon)

No! (Takes the hit)

Black Beetle

You! You're the cause of all this. It's about time your Scarab was destroyed, and your life ended. :(Black's scarab taps into Blue's) You fight back, but it's useless.

But I'm not alone in this fight, am I Scarab?

Scarab

No, Jaime Reyes. Once you fought for control, now we fight together.

Friends, hermanos, fighting together against any attack.

Black Beetle

No! (His Scarab is destroyed)

You are alone.

Black Beetle

I am sufficient.
