Quotes 

• Ben Lockwood : It is with great humility that I accept this presidential appointment as your new Director of the Bureau of Alien Affairs. This appointment will signal a new dawning of a new day. A day in which human beings need no longer live in fear of aliens or their random acts of...

  [pandimonium as an energy blast hits the podium] 

  Manchester Black : Say cheers to my little friend.

  Ben Lockwood : [to his bodyguard]  How's it looking out there?

  [Kara lands and blocks an incoming blast with her cape] 

  Quentin : Supergirl. You saved our lives.

• Manchester Black : Bloomin' heck, man.

  Hat : Bloody hell.

  Manchester Black : Well, isn't this a surprise?

  Hat : Yeah, a giant wall of ice.

  Manchester Black : Now, where did your pal Mxy say the key was?

  Hat : He didn't.

  Manchester Black : What?

  Hat : [the Morae chitters]  "Under the doormat"?

  [spotting the key in the snow] 

  Hat : Right. No, not gold, it's dwarf star. Weighs around 500,000 kilos.

  [pulling a pair of mechanical gauntlets out of his bowler] 

  Hat : There. These little bad boys will do the trick.

  [picking up the key, he unlocks the door] 

  Hat : You're very welcome. Now can we please get something for Mo's mitt?

  Manchester Black : Of course we can.

  [they walk through the Fortress of Solitude] 

  Manchester Black : Oh, I wager we can find whatever we want in here.

• Hat : All we're saying is, if one of us is rottin' in a cell, it ought to be a priority to get her back.

  Manchester Black : And all I'm saying is we'll fetch Menagerie as soon as we find what lets us get around Supergirl, so we can snuff Benny boy. This is the belly of the beast, bound to be the seeds of her destruction somewhere.

  Hat : [holding up what resembles a Kryptonian stone]  Or... we just use this. Taking down Supergirl and killing Lockwood don't win hearts and minds. But this... this'll let us activate all our alien brothers and sisters.

  [as the Morae chitters, he notices a pendant hanging nearby] 

  Hat : Ooh. And we can do more with its little brother.

  Manchester Black : [indifferently]  Meh.

  Hat : [the Morae chitters again]  "Meh"? What about the revolution?

  Manchester Black : Killing Lockwood *is* the revolution. They take one of us, we take one of theirs.

• Manchester Black : You loved Fi like blood, right? Don't you wanna see her murderer go down?

  Hat : Yeah, but that isn't what we set out to do. We're supposed to be changing the world, not acting suicidal to settle old scores.

  Manchester Black : Back home, when the gang found out you and Fi were otherworldly, I stuck up for you at great peril. And you can't do the same for me?

  Hat : That's different, and you know it.

  Manchester Black : Nah, mate. The only one that's different now is you.

  [the Morae chitters] 

  Manchester Black : Come on, Mo. We've lost this one.

  Hat : Well, I hope you find what you're looking for. And choke on it.

• J'onn J'onzz : I can feel the Morae, but I can't see her. Something's blocking me.

  Dreamer : I have an idea.

  [she uses her powers to amplify his; her essence follows Black in the Fortress] 

  J'onn J'onzz : [to the invisible Morae]  I don't quite get what you're saying, but I hear you about Hat. Too many cooks spoil the broth.

  [blowing dust off a utility belt] 

  Manchester Black : Hmm.

  [as he puts it on and presses a button, a force field activates] 

  Manchester Black : That's keen.

  Dreamer : [the dream ends]  We need to get Supergirl now.

• Manchester Black : Something tells me the thing we're looking for is right around this corner.

  J'onn J'onzz : [entering behind him]  Manchester! It's over!

  [they fly away in combat; elsewhere, Supergirl uses her freeze breath to render the Morae visible] 

  Dreamer : [conjuring an energy ball]  Yield or die.

  Supergirl : Just take it down to, like, a... a seven.

  Dreamer : Yield or else.

• Manchester Black : [J'onn phases so his blaster fire passes through him]  That's new.

  [J'onn knocks him backwards] 

  Manchester Black : Oof. Fun toys she's got here.

  J'onn J'onzz : This ends right now.

  Manchester Black : You got that right.

  J'onn J'onzz : [Black opens a nearby door, and a monster inside growls]  Manchester, no!

  [Black runs inside, the door closing behind him] 

• [first lines] 

  Manchester Black : Clear eyes, full tums, can't lose.

  Hat : Just so long as after this hater goes down, we get back to the real task at hand.

  Manchester Black : This is the real task at hand.

  Hat : Real small task is right.

  Manchester Black : Friends, I promise tonight's job will be very much in the spirit of our revolutionary mission. Right, now let's synch our watches, so we can meet up you know where, you know when.

  [cocking his gun] 

  Manchester Black : See you on the other side.
