Quotes 

• Batman : I'll take it from here.

  [he leads Deadshot a short distance away] 

  Deadshot : You can't scare me into talking, Batman.

  Batman : Let me give you one word of advice...

  [cut to Superman and Wonder Woman listening from a distance, where only Superman can hear] 

  Deadshot : Okay, okay! I'll tell!

  Wonder Woman : What did he say?

  Superman : You don't want to know.

• Superman : Come and err your grievances at the world assembly. Negotiate with them for peace.

  Aquaman : You'd have me crawl before them like some beggar?

  Superman : No. Stand before them like a king.

• Deadshot : [after a long chase]  Okay, okay. I give up.

  Superman : You tried to kill Aquaman. Why?

  Deadshot : [sarcastic]  Gee, I don't know. Why would a hired gun try to shoot somebody? Could it be because somebody paid me to?

  Wonder Woman : Who?

  Deadshot : Oh, come on, Princess, you know I can't tell you that. Professional ethics.

• Batman : Who hired you?

  Deadshot : I don't know. I don't ask questions.

  Batman : Not good enough. How were you paid?

  Deadshot : In gold. See?

  [he indicates a crate of gold] 

  Batman : [inspecting a piece]  Spanish doubloons.

  Wonder Woman : Where would they get coins like this?

  J'onn J'onzz : Atlantis.

  Superman : We've got to warn Aquaman.

  Green Lantern : Too late. That royal pain in the neck's already gone. I couldn't stop him.

  Wonder Woman : Hera help him.

• Superman : [on the phone with the military]  I understand your concerns, Admiral, but lives were at stake. There was nothing else we could do.

  Green Lantern : The admiral's right. We never should have left the sub down there. Now it's in the hands of that madman.

  Wonder Woman : Aquaman's no madman. He's a king. He only wants to preserve and protect his own kind.

  Green Lantern : So, who's gonna protect us from him?

• Green Lantern : U.S.S. Defiant, this is the Justice League responding. Help is on the way.

  Wonder Woman : I've locked onto their distress beacon. We're getting close.

  Superman : [spotting an Atlantean craft]  We're not the only ones. We've got company.

  Green Lantern : [dodging torpedo fire]  Not for long.

  [the ship following them gets trapped] 

  Green Lantern : Lost 'em.

  Superman : [two more boats appear]  You were saying?

• Aquaman : You have violated the sovereign borders of Atlantis. Leave at once, or you will be destroyed.

  Superman : We apologize for the intrusion. We were responding to a call for help.

  Aquaman : They should have stayed on the surface where they belong.

  Wonder Woman : Please. The men on board, they'll drown.

  Aquaman : Take the crew. But the vessel stays.

  Green Lantern : No way. That's a nuclear sub. If you think we're just going to walk away and leave it...

  Aquaman : What makes you think you have a choice?

  Superman : [stopping John from a rash action]  He's right. Time's running out.
