300 Best Batwoman Quotes

Harrison: For so many years, I've traveled across worlds, across the multiverse to do one thing - kill you, and now here, you save my life.
Voice: Submit and begin your life anew.
Harrison: Show me.
Voice: The knowledge is within you.

Luke: Why didn't you tell me about Cartwright?
Kate: Honestly... sometimes I feel like you think I'm some infallible hero that makes the right choice every single time. I just... I didn't want to see the look on your face when you realized you were wrong..
Luke: I'm not wrong.
Kate: I broke Batman's code.
Luke: You think you're the only one?

Alice: [to Sophie] My dear, sweet, little birdie. I may be free of my cage, but you're still trapped in yours, and you always will be because it's one of your own making... and that... is a hell more unbearable than...

Kate: [talking about Nocturna] Well, we can't track her down, maybe we can draw her out.
Luke: Please don't say "blood drive".

Ryan: [returning the Batsuit] It's not bulletproof, FYI.
Luke: [seeing the bullet hole] Is this from the kryptonite?
Ryan: [tossing the shard to him] You mean this? Yeah. Hurt like a bitch, too.

Alice: Are you ready to hear what I think?
Ocean: I've had an option this whole time?

Kate: Mary, our parents have been married for over a decade. I know who you are.

Ryan: [talking to Luke] You know how you're on the journey of being a hero? You fail. I mean, look at Sophie. Alice and Pam escaped on her watch, and she worked security 5 years.
Sophie: True... and Ryan, the supposed team detective, didn't even notice that her roommate was infected with poison ivy until it was too late. Talk about screwing up big time.
Ryan: See? No one's perfect.

Mary: [finding Alice weeping over Ocean's body] Oh, my god.
Alice: Fix him.
Mary: Alice, he's gone.
Alice: No, he's not.
Mary: There's nothing I can do.
Alice: [putting her knife to Mary's throat] Save his life, or yours is over!
Mary: That won't bring Ocean back.
[throwing the knife away, Alice returns to his body]
Mary: I know how this feels. That unbearable pain and numb emptiness all at once like you're watching it all from a million miles away, but it's happening right in front of you. I know. You're the reason I know.
Alice: Is that why you're here, to gloat?
Mary: No. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Not even you.

Alice: My... how you have blossomed. I think your diabolical debut deserves more than a roadside greasy spoon.
Poison: I don't care what we do or where we go as long as it's fun.

Black: Because you know what they say about power, huh? Use it... or lose it.

Colonel: What, you don't like chocolate all of a sudden, huh?
Young: I'm not hungry.
Colonel: Come on. You're the world record holder for fastest waffle consumption. Title's in jeopardy.
Young: We shouldn't be be eating. We should be looking for Beth.
Colonel: Ahh. Been looking, for months. We deserve a sugar break.

Ray: You can't just hijack the Waverider. Our crew is still on there.
Mar: If there is any chance at surviving the Crisis, we need its technology.
Sara: Hoo. Yeah. I kind of promised our crew they'd never have to do another crossover.

Mar: You have all lost a great hero.
Barry: The wrong hero.
Mar: I do not disagree. You have suffered a horrible loss, but you have every reason not to lose hope. Seven, in fact. Across space and time...
[Jonathan begins crying; Lois give him to Clark]
Mar: Across space and time exist seven heroes, beings of the purest will who can ultimately...
[Jonathan continues crying]
Clark: [passing him to Kara] Sorry. You wanna try?
Kara: What?
Mar: Beings of the purest will who can ultimately...
Kara: It's not working.
Kate: [Kara tries to pass him over] Nope.
[Kara gives him to Mick, and he stops crying]
Mar: Beings of the purest will who can ultimately defeat the Anti-Monitor...
Lois: [quietely urging Mick to leave] Go, go, go.
Mar: ...and help save the multiverse. They are known as Paragons.
Barry: Paragons? And you're just dropping this on us now?
Mar: I only recently learned of their existence by consulting the Book of Destiny.
Barry: How? We destroyed it last year.
Mar: [as he conjures a hologram of the book, Lyla winces in pain] After Oliver's early demise, I went back into the time stream and retrieved it intact. It is now safely stored in this ship's library.
Barry: [sarcastic] So, it's what, plan B? That's comforting.

Alice: [reading file on Dr. Campbell] Hmm. Gotham's most elite plastic surgeon, 20 years of lipo, rhino. Hmm.Now this is interesting. 6 years ago, he took a sabbatical. When he returned, divorced his wife, started specializing in facial reconstruction of child burn victims. 6 years ago, hmm? What a long and sad tale you have, Dr. Campbell, or should I perhaps call you August Cartwright? What do you think? Is the caterpillar trying to convince the world that's he's a butterfly? If so I will follow him to you My little Mouse, and together We will pull off his wings.

Kara: If the book can rewrite destiny, can it bring back Earth-38, or any of the other Earths?
Mar: Trying to recreate an entire word would surely drive one to madness.
Mia: What about my dad? Could it bring him back?
Mar: I wish it could. While Oliver Queen was to die in this Crisis, this is not how I saw events unfold. But as the Anti-Monitor gets stronger, I grow weaker.

Luke: Since the encounter was so... intimate, we may be able to get something off the suit's UV detection system.
[showing her a small, hand-held device]
Luke: Behold. 600 watts of 95% UVA and 5% UVB. Works great for fingerprints, counterfeit money, checking out motel bedspreads.
Kate: Ew.

Ryan: Believe it or not, Montoya, there are other people I'd rather not be drinking with right now.
Renee: That's the nicest thing anyone said to me all day.

Sara: We can't screw this up, okay? When we bring Oliver back, I need you to promise me you can bring back his soul.
John: Yeah. One thing at a time, right, love?
Sara: I need to hear you say it.
John: I'll do it.
Sara: Thank you.
John: To the best of my abilities.

Kate: Thank you for bailing me out.
Luke: Yeah. I mean, I found the comms, and I saw you hadn't moved in a while, and I figured maybe...
Kate: Yeah, let's not get misty-eyed.
Luke: Yep, no problem. No problem.

Alice: There's nothing wrong in someone who takes pride in her work.
Sophie: There is if her work killed people.

Sophie: [at the Bat-Signal] Hi.
Batwoman: It's not a pager. A little busy here.
Sophie: Well, unless you want to give me your name and number...
Batwoman: Uh-huh. What do you want?
Sophie: First off, lose the 'tude. I'm doing you a favor. I thought you should know the Crows are in the process of extracting your DNA profile from blood spatter found at the Snakebite facility. Once they have that, they're gonna upload it to the National DNA Registry. Of course, they'll need something to match it against, so you should be good, unless of course you've ever been in the system. Anything you want to tell me?
Batwoman: Other than you need to destroy that sample?
Sophie: It's already being processed. They'll have the profile in a few hours. Arrest warrant won't be long after that.
Batwoman: I better use what time I have left to save the one person who had the guts to testify against Black Mask. Remember her? The one the Crows were supposed to protect?
Sophie: [Batwoman moves to leave] Wait. I can't make any promises about the sample, but I'll do my best.
Batwoman: Let's hope that's enough.

Mar: Well done. You have succeeded in finding the Paragon of Truth. Lex Luthor played his role. He led you to him.
Kara: [entering with Kate] Yeah? How many more people did he hurt to do that? You think you're a good guy, but you're not.
Lex: I think he's kind of neat.
Kara: Okay. Well, we still only have three. Bruce Wayne wasn't the paragon of anything, so...
[seeing Earth-96 Clark]
Kara: Whoa, Ray. You are looking jacked.
Clark: No, no, no, no. This is your cousin, sort of.
Kara: [turning to look at Ray and back, her jaw dropping] Huh.

Kate: "Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster".
Alice: I'm afraid that quote wasn't in the one book I was allowed to read.

Gabi: [to young Kate and Beth on the importance of their emotions and their connections to one another] Red is a very symbolic color. It's the color of love, but it's also the color of passion, courage, war. At one point or another, you're going to have to wrestle with all of these emotions. What defines your character is how you balance them. So keep it close to your heart. Cause i'll be thinking of you while I wear mine.

Mary: Hey, I thought we were bathuddling over this Titan Tseslow psycho.
Luke: Bathuddling isn't a thing.

Jacob: Ha! Bruce Wayne. I take it they're out of cocaine in Belize.
Tommy: Missed you, too, Uncle Jake.

Alice: Silly Mouse, what is the purpose of a rendezvous spot if only one party obliges?
[a pair of her Rabbits approach]
Alice: Yes?
Rabbit: [offering a small stuffed animal] This is all that was left in his hospital room.
Alice: What do you mean "left"?

Alice: Is it just me, or is this evil plan unfolding exactly as I called it?

Alice: I'm sorry, did you call me a bad assassin?

Batwoman: [Slam tries to kiss her after she saves him from the exploding school] Not happening.

Alice: You really shouldn't be thinking at all, Tatiana. It's not your strong suit.

Mabel: And this must be the girl.
Young: My name is Alice.
[curtseying]
Young: So pleased, Your Majesty.
Mabel: Well, aren't you a curious thing with your milky young complexion?
Young: I like your purse.
Mabel: And I like your necklace. Where did you get that?
Young: Oh. Um, I don't actually remember.

Clark: Do you have a second?
Clark: Sure. For a citizen of Metropolis, always.
[giving him a business card]
Clark: If you wouldn't mind contacting my assistant.
Clark: It's about Lex Luthor.

Ryan: This is not you talking.
Mary: No. This is you not listening.

Luke: When did you start working at the Hold-Up?
Ryan: When my P.O. wouldn't get off of my ass about punching a clock.

Kate: [to one of Alice's thugs] I need you to send a message to Alice from Kate Kane. Waffles. Now get out of here.
Mary: Waffles?
Kate: If Alice is Beth, she'll know what it means.
Mary: What does it mean?
Kate: It's better if you don't know.

Mary: Dangerous? I have been poisoned, stabbed, and nearly exsanguinated. And the fact that I have lived to use that word as a verb is proof that I can look out for myself.

Luke: [holds up Desert Eagle] This is a Desert Eagle Mark IX .50 AE, one of the most powerful handguns in the world. It can literally blast a hole through anything."

Kate: [narrating] Luke was right, Bruce. Gotham needed something to believe in. They wanted hope just as I started to lose mine. I spent half my life looking for my sister, and today, I found someone else, someone I didn't know or recognize. For the first time in fifteen years, I felt something other than hope. I felt doubt.

Kate: [voice-over] I've spent years traveling the world, training with combat and survivalist specialists so I could join the Crows.

Mary: [to Alice] So you came here to warn me out of the goodness of your empty chest cavity?

Batwoman: A gun? Could you be more basic?

Kate: [voice-over] Maybe it was fate watching her drown in a river the way everyone assumed she had years ago, and maybe i was meant to stand by and watch it happen all over again. After all, my dad was right. Alice was a monster. She was a liar, a manipulator, a killer, but despite all that. She was still my sister.

Kate: I killed Cartwright.
Luke: What? What?
Kate: I didn't want to suit up because I feel like a fraud in this thing. I had every chance to stop myself, and I didn't.

Kate: They found skull fragments. They declared you dead.
Alice: Then why are you still here?
[grabbing Kate's hand and putting it over her heart]
Alice: If I were really your twin, wouldn't you feel something?

Luke: So what's next, Batwoman?
Ryan: We find that case of Batman trophies before anyone else does, and from the sounds of it, I am gonna have backup!

Alice: Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again, but he was an egg and never should have been sitting on that wall in the first place, and honestly, what were a bunch of horses gonna do?
Tommy: W-W-When do I get my face?
Alice: As soon as I get that journal. And it's not just a face, Tommy. It's a whole new you.

Luke: Got your text. Uh, yes, technically, Wayne is in possession of a thermal cycler and PCR mixers.
Kate: PCR?
Luke: Polymerase Chain Reaction. It's used to separate and amplify DNA, which then needs to be analyzed against another sample for a match.
Kate: So if I could provide you with another sample?
Luke: Sorry. I just keep the doors locked and the lights on.
Kate: For Bruce Wayne, who isn't here.
Luke: Currently, but not ultimately, which is why we need to talk about his suit. Are you watching the news? The city is clamoring for a hero that isn't here, and I know you don't want to be the city's next great hope, but it's too late, 'cause they think you're him.

Luke: [after Kate got the wig on her cowl yanked on] I'm just saying, like, a braid or something could help.
Kate: I am not wearing a braid.

Alice: Good news, my dear Mouse. I have purpose once again. It was Safiyah who ruined everything, and now I'm going to ruin her. It's lucky you're dead already, my dear brother, because there's a war coming to Gotham, and now there's no Batwoman to stop it.

Kate: I didn't tell them you'd be here.
Alice: "Tell us a story," said the March Hare. "Yes, please do," pled Alice, and so the Dormouse began "Once upon a time, there were three little sisters."
Kate: What did you do?
Alice: You don't remember why we'd each have to get our own waffle when we came here?
Kate: Because you don't like to share.
Alice: Exactly. And you are *my* sister, Kate!

Marquis: Everyone says the world has gone mad, but I get it.

Alice: Typically when one storms out after winning an argument, they don't come crawling back. Takes the drama out of it.

Luke: She seduces her victims, drains their blood, and leaves them for dead. It's all very early 2000s. Both victims were lured out of clubs on the Strip in Old Gotham. Crows are replacing every doorman, so I thought we should patrol the only other bar in that neighborhood on that street. It's a place called the Catch.
Kate: It's a janky, old fishermen's bar. It's not really her demo, but, um, what about Curse?
[seeing the confusion in his face]
Kate: EDM. It's invite-only.
Luke: Oh, oh! Curse. The... yeah. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah. I thought... I thought you said "purse," which is why I was like "A club called Purse? That'd be weird."
Kate: You have no idea what I'm talking about.
Luke: Not a one. Nope.

Batwoman: Are you Kate Kane?
Kate: Can I get back to you on that?

Luke: [regarding the batsuit] The suit is literal perfection.

Mary: We're gonna find Kate.
Luke: She needed the suit to survive.
Mary: Miracles happen. I mean...
Luke: It's my fault. I was the one hell-bent on destroying the kryptonite. She didn't even want to do it, and I pushed.
Mary: Luke, that is not what happened.
Luke: I'm the reason she got on that plane. Kate's dead... because of me.
Mary: Luke. You didn't do anything wrong, okay?
Luke: Yeah.
Mary: Look at me. What would Kate say if she knew you were blaming yourself?
Luke: I don't know. Things are usually her fault.
Mary: She'd tell you that there'd be no Batwoman without Luke Fox and to put your pain into something worth changing.

Luke: We're getting no signs of Kate on traffic cams, and facial recognition is not getting any hits.
Mary: None of the hospitals in 20 miles have admitted Kate, Circe, or any Jane Doe matching that description.
Ryan: Okay, how long since she wandered off, ten hours?
Luke: Long time, especially in Gotham.
Ryan: So what do we do, just sit around and wait?
Luke: [Mary's phone buzzes] Anything?
Mary: Just a belligerent drunk at the Hold-Up acting like they own the place.
Kate: [cut the bar, where she drinks with a group of women] Ohh. We got a dead soldier.
[she throws the empty bottle away]
Ryan: [on the phone] Yeah. So that drunk acting like she owns the place? Turns out she does.

Luke: The building schematic shows a wall safe. I'm betting it's in there.
Batwoman: [spotting the journal] Or it's just sitting on his desk.
Luke: Awfully important book to just leave lying around.
[grabbing it, she sets off an alarm, and a boobytrap knocks her unconscious]
Luke: Kate? Kate, come in! Kate!

Kate: [to Luke] No, I'm not sleeping with someone. But can we please pause for a moment to appreciate that those words came out of your mouth?

Alice: I'll tell you about my mom. She had a really great head on her shoulders. Emphasis on the word "had".

Alice: [drawing a gun on Luke] I didn't order takeout, but I'll take you out anyway.

Ocean: Why'd you stab me?
Alice: Wouldn't you like to know?

Kate: Concerned the police couldn't keep order in a Gotham without Batman, my dad started Crows Security, a private firm that protects the people that the Dark Knight left behind.

Kate: [Kara brings her a beer] Do these things even work on you?
Kara: Not really, but you looked like you could use a drinking buddy.

Colonel: My own daughter and one of Gotham's most diabolical killers dead on a metal slab. After everything, it seems there should be so many emotions, but... all I feel is hollow.
Sophie: It was destined to end this way, sir.
Colonel: The bullet wasn't one of ours. You radioed in and said you had her in your sights. What-what happened?
Batwoman: [flashback] Call off the shoot-to-kill order on Alice.
Sophie: You're kidding.
Batwoman: Let me find her. Tell the Crows to stand down.
Sophie: [return to the present] I didn't have a lock. The target kept moving.
Colonel: Hmm. Well, someone got her, anyway. Side effect of making an entire city your enemy.

Alice: [narrating] It may have taken you years, sweet, darling Kate, but you found me eventually; even if I'm not the girl you expected me to be. I had my secrets just as you have yours. But do be careful, my dear sister. Putting on that suit and all the darkness that comes with it... makes you just as crazy as me.

Victor: Plenty of open seats elsewhere.
Ryan: You don't remember me. I dated Angelique Martin.
Victor: You're Angelique's ex? Then by all means, stay and do whatever you want. Just don't do to me what you did to her.
Ryan: So you do know me.
Victor: I know you broke her heart. Apologies if I'm overstepping. I'm just a sucker for lesbian drama.

Clown: [Ryan appears in the Batsuit] What is this, some wannabe?
Ryan: [accidentally firing a batarang into his leg] Sorry. Legit didn't mean that.
Clown: Sorry? You freaking shot me!

Alice: I am not leaving this island without Kate.
Safiyah: She'll be brought back to the island as soon as you leave. I'm not foolish enough to have you both here at the same time.
Alice: And I'm supposed to just believe you?
Safiyah: I have every intention of giving you your sister back, but before I do, I need you to do something for me.

Mick: [reading to Jonathan] "Once he awoke her desire, he was hers to explore willingly."
Ray: Is that your...
Mick: "Caged Passion", my romance novel.
Leonard A.I.: Your only novel, self-published.
Mick: Still counts.
Ray: Uh, Mick, your book doesn't sound too kid-friendly.
Mick: It's very friendly. Kid loves it. Look at him.

Dr. Butler: Give us the journal, and we will let you walk out of here.
Tommy: Really? What, just out into the street where every wanted poster will have my...
[taken aback when Alice measures his forehead with her fingers]
Tommy: ...face on it?
Alice: Not if we get you a new one.
Tommy: Oh. Tsk. This is what it's like bartering with a psychopath.
[with a nod from Alice, Butler pulls his mask off, revealing Mouse]
Alice: We can make you into anyone you want to be; real, imagined... whoever your little heart desires. So, do we have a deal?

Ocean: The last thing I need is being caught in the middle of two crazy bitches trying to rip each other's hair out.

Alice: If they were harmed in any way, I swear to you on my headless mother's grave...

Kate: I've always wanted to slay a vampire.

Julia: I've had worse.
Tommy: Not yet. But you will.

Executioner: The people that i executed were innocent, which meant that I was the guilty one, that that cabal, they turned me into a murderer, which they made me punish the innocent.

Alice: Never leave a woman who's been in captivity half her life alone with a hairpin.

Parker: I'm sorry, okay? Chill!
Kate: I... don't... chill.

Mary: Wasn't supposed to be Beth.
Luke: We did everything right. We found a loophole, we-we kept her alive, we got her through the checkpoints. I thought we were in the clear, and then it just... just came out of nowhere.
Mary: It wasn't your fault, Luke.
Luke: Look, we need to figure out who shot her.
Mary: I agree, but first, we need to prepare ourselves for the real Alice. The Crows think that she's dead, and she's not, which means no one's out looking for her, and if my twin picked my alien doppelganger's life over mine, I'd be on the verge of going nuclear.
[to Kate]
Mary: Uh, no offense.
Kate: You're right. I looked her in the eye and I told her I chose to save someone else.
Mary: Kate... you did the right thing. You have to know that.
Kate: It doesn't matter, because the wrong Beth lived. Now Alice is back on the loose because of me, and we need to brace ourselves for the consequences.

Agent: What's his mask made of, wood?
Agent: Commander says to go after the head of the snake. According to my CI, that guy is at the top of the False Face Society.
Agent: You got a name?
Agent: Not yet.
Agent: Get one. I'm not giving the boss a photo of some dude in a black mask.

Ryan: This is really happening. Marquis Jet is about to shut Batwoman down for good.

Alice: If I had a nickel for every bad penny...

Mary: Never have I ever kissed Batwoman.
Sophie: [drinking her shot] Yeah. Never have I ever been saved by Batwoman.
[they all drink a shot]
Sophie: When did Batwoman save you?
Ryan: Last Halloween.
Sophie: Oh! The O.G. Makes more sense.
Ryan: Why does it make more sense?
Sophie: I don't know, Ryan. Why would it make absolutely no sense for the new Batwoman to have saved you?
Ryan: [confused] Huh?
Sophie: [dismissing it] It's okay.

Reagan: [to Kate; about Tommy Elliott] Danger. Hazardous Waste. Thinks he's doing us all a favor when he really just helps fund the laws that are separating our city... Gotham, am I right?

Sophie: Safiyah? How do you know her?
Alice: How do *you* know her?
Sophie: She's been surveilling Julia and me for months.
Alice: Hmm. She always did like to watch.
Sophie: And why are you here?
Alice: To do us both a favor. It's been a while since I killed a queen.
Sophie: For the record, when you fail and I end up dead alongside you, it's no longer considered a favor.
Alice: I poisoned my one true friend Mouse so I could enact the perfect revenge on my family, and Safiyah ruined everything! If I die today, so be it.

Alice: You sure this Angelique chick is good enough for you?
Batwoman: She is. Thank you for your concern.
Alice: Is she, though? I mean, city hero, drug dealer. Doesn't exactly scream royal wedding.
Batwoman: You asking for a friend... or are you asking because you accidentally have feelings for someone and it terrifies you? Because... how could anyone ever love a monster who watched her gang kill a woman and not even wonder her name?
Alice: Obviously asking for a friend.
Batwoman: [wry chuckle] Angelique was the only person in our group home who ever had my back.
Alice: I see. So you were plucked away like the little orphan Annie while she was left behind. That's why you're so determined to save her now, isn't it? Guilt.
[snickering]
Alice: Where have I heard that before? Your predecessor was obsessed with saving me. She couldn't accept reality and move on. Poor thing didn't realize until it was too late... and then she died.
[moving closer]
Alice: Just a little piece of advice from an antihero to a hero. You can't save everyone, not without losing who you are.
Batwoman: [getting ready to move as they watch Black Mask's henchmen run by] If you really want to know who I am, you should know this about me. I am someone who never forgets.
Alice: [realizing she's handcuffed to a pole] What are you doing?
Batwoman: Oh, don't worry. I'm gonna save Ocean... from you. I am going to make sure he knows exactly what you are.

Vesper: Good morning, Gotham. I'm looking at a very distant, very fuzzy photo from the other night's Batwoman rally, and dumb question: did we get a new Batwoman? Dumber question: is she black? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about the representation in G-Town, but did I miss something?

Mick: Kid was a piece of cake.
[giving Jonathan to Lois]
Mick: Here.
Lois: There's someone I want you to meet.
Clark: Hi there, handsome guy. Wow. He looks just like my son Jason.

Tommy: If you can't trust your money launderer, who can you trust?

Alice: How will we pass the time?
Batwoman: Quietly would be my first choice.
Alice: I like you. You're fun but mean.

Mary: No one is ever Alice until they are.

Batwoman: I'm looking for a missing woman. Brunette, high cheek bones, looks an awful lot like your cover girl over there.
Janus: I... I don't know.
Batwoman: Well, what about your boss, Roman Sionis? Sometimes likes to side hustle as Black Mask.
Janus: I'm just a security guard.
Batwoman: [taking his gun away as he draws it] Machine pistol. It's a little rich for a rent-a-cop.
[taking the bullet clip out]
Batwoman: Ah, yeah, but the ammo is standard-issue False Face.
[grabbing a bottle of perfume]
Batwoman: Now, you want to tell me what I want to know, or do we need to find out if your boss tests his products on animals?
Janus: I ain't telling you anything.
[getting sprayed in the face]
Janus: Agh! Agh! Ow! Agh!
Batwoman: "Rekindle."
[sniffing it]
Batwoman: Eww. Does it hurt as bad as it smells? Let's try...
[grabbing another bottle]
Batwoman: Remember.
Janus: [getting sprayed again] Agh! Aww!
Batwoman: Now... you want to find out what I can do with a mascara wand?

Alice: Rotting meat. Kinda takes me back to my childhood.

Kate: Luke, the world is short on heroes. Do not let your anger turn you into someone that you're not.

Alice: It is amazing how distracted you get when you find out both your daughters are killers.

Ryan: We have enough problems without Sophie finding more.
Alice: Well, "Moore" is literally her name.

Sophie: She could have killed you.
Kate: You totally sold me out.
Sophie: It's called caring about you.
Kate: If you cared, you wouldn't have lied to an entire military academy about me.
Sophie: That's not fair, Kate.
Kate: So you didn't lie?
Sophie: I would never lie to you. I won't ever lie to you.
Kate: Are you happy?
Sophie: Yes.
Kate: Yes or ish?
Sophie: I'm happy, Kate. And... there's no "us", okay? You need to move on.

Sophie: Good to see you staying out of trouble.
Ryan: Good to have your approval that... I don't care about.

Harbinger: I thought the Legends of Earth-74 all retired.
Mick: We did. Well, some. One died. No one was using the ship, so I took it. It's my ship.
Harbinger: Why are you here?
Mick: I like the quiet.
Leonard A.I.: He's trying to be a writer.
Mick: Shut up.
Leonard A.I.: Of romance novels. Well, you can see how that's going.
Mick: It's going fine, you piece of...
Leonard A.I.: You're basically living out of your car.

Colonel: Operational leadership at its best, Agent Moore. Well done tonight.

Nocturna: Vampire, Bat. Screams "duo" to me.
Batwoman: I work alone.
Luke: [on comms] I heard that.
Batwoman: Shh.

Mary: What's your type?
Alice: Tall, dark, and brooding.
Mary: Your blood type.
Alice: O negative.

Luke: We're... going clubbing?

Mary: Well, the suit has GPS, so you might as well just give it back now, Miss...
Ryan: [removing cowl] Wilder, Ryan. And I'm not done yet.
Mary: That suit is meant for a hero, not the lost and found.
Ryan: You tell that to the bored billionaire who found it in Batman's lost box?
Luke: You don't know the first thing about Kate Kane, and you sure as hell don't anything about that symbol.
Ryan: Trust me, I know I'm not a symbol or a name or a legacy.
Mary: Exactly, so why do you think you're worthy of wearing it?
Ryan: Because I'm a number. I am the 327th baby of a black woman who died during childbirth that year. I'm a $20 a day check to a group home. I'm Inmate 4075, serving 18 months for a crime I didn't commit, but I can live with all those numbers because the mama who adopted me, I was her number one, but it turns out she's just one of a quarter million murders in this country who have not seen justice, and that is a number I can't live with, so you can have this damn suit back when her killer is dead.

Kate: I need you to run that for DNA.
Sophie: Alice tried to kill me. She put me on a plank twenty stories in the air and watched it drop.
Kate: She's sick.
Sophie: She's a monster, Kate. She's not your twin.
Kate: If I can get her DNA off the knife, I can compare it with my own.
Sophie: Look... I know why you want Beth to be alive, but aren't you getting your hopes up over nothing?
Kate: Maybe. But you know me and hope.
Sophie: Your dad would kill me. I can't.

Luke: He's going after Ryan?
Mary: Ryan? Why?
Luke: For the suit so he can be Batman.

Victor: [looking for room on his body to log a kill] Uh-oh. Are you kidding me? Well, look at who's getting close to retirement.

Mary: Your heart is in the right place. Your ribs, however, are not.

Kara: [meeting Earth-99's Luke Fox] Earth-1 villain?
Kate: Only friend, actually.
Kara: Oh. Well, at least he's cute.

Colonel: Couldn't have done this without you, Moore.
Sophie: Glad to officially be back, sir.
Colonel: Formalities aside, this is the start of a major overhaul. Robles gave up everyone who took part in Harris's frame job to avoid the death penalty. We are draining the swamp. I'm putting a new strike team in place, and you are co-heading it.
Sophie: I'm not capable of running it solo?
Julia: [approaching] So, I just got off the phone with my agency. Apparently, I've been recruited to run a Crows strike team.
Sophie: Co-run, technically.
Julia: So, where do you want to start? Personal detail, homicide squad?
Sophie: With burgers. Good ones. Not the garbage you've been bringing to the motel all week.
Julia: Go on, then, twist my arm. But you're buying.
Sophie: Company card. You'll get yours at orientation.

Sara: So I miss one group chat, and now there's Paragons, and I'm supposed to be one of them.
Mia: Yep. And Barry and I are gonna use a Lazarus Pit to bring my dad back.
Sara: Mia, it's not that simple. The Lazarus Pit isn't some magical mud bath where you get your soul and a cup of cucumber water at the end. You lose your humanity.
Mia: Nyssa told me everything I need to know about Lazarus Pits. And she told me everything I need to know about you.
Sara: Well, why don't you share your opinion when it's about your life?
Mia: Why don't you share your opinion when it's about your dad?

Batwing: [saves Mary from a fall] Still working out the kinks.

Mary: Alice, we're not tire-rioning the woman responsible for my awakening.

Mary: I need the caffeine. Being two people is exhausting.

Victor: So, I take it you're the replacement. What happened to the old one? She get killed, or are you like Sammy Hagar to her David Lee Roth?
Batwoman: You're looking at me wondering which old white guy I am?
Victor: Ugh. Kids today. No sense of history.

Batwoman: [rescuing a young woman] You okay?
[the thug she's fighting shoots her]
Batwoman: What a dick.
Amanda: Oh, my god!
[he fires twice more; managing to take the gun away, she pistol whips him, knocking him out]
Amanda: I'd ask for a selfie, but I think you're needed elsewhere.
Batwoman: [seeing the Bat-Signal in the sky] Next time.

Luke: The cowl shock thing, not the worst idea.
Kate: She wants to be part of this, and the answer is no.
Luke: She doesn't want to be part of this as much as she wants to be part of your life.
Kate: Then I will take her out for dinner. We need to focus on your dad's journal. If that thing really is the cookbook of Wayne Enterprises' best-kept secrets, we need to find where Tommy Elliot hid it.

Kate: [finding her way into the Batcave] Bruce Wayne is Batman?
Luke: [to himself] Yeah. I'm dead.

[the Batmobile launches a missile at Ryan's van]
Ryan: Are you kidding me? What was that?
Mary: He wants the suit.
Ryan: He can have it. I'll toss it out the window!
Mary: No!
Luke: If he gets that suit, he becomes the most dangerous person in Gotham. You need to outrun him.
Ryan: Outrun him? Look at his car. I don't even have hubcaps!

Colonel: This is exactly what I was worried about. You put yourself directly in Alice's crosshairs, and you brought her right to our doorstep.
Kate: How the hell did she even know I had her knife?
Colonel: Are you hearing yourself? Talk some sense into her, please.
Sophie: All due respect, sir, I don't see any harm in running a DNA test on Alice if we can catch her.
Colonel: [banging the table] My daughter died. I have the lab results that prove it. Alice - that thing - is a cop killer who drove enough C4 into Robinson Park to level a square block.
Kate: I'm not saying Alice is a good person. All I'm saying is it has been fifteen years. We don't know what happened to her. What if somewhere deep down inside of her, she is actually Beth?
Colonel: The GCPD just gave us the green light to put her down. I'm not wasting the shot.

Ryan: So, wait. Cluemaster knew you'd recognize some random-ass logo in the middle of nowhere?
Mary: [trying a padlock on the gate] It's locked. Give me a boost.
Sophie: [helping Mary up over the fence] After I put him away, he became obsessed with me; where I went to school, where I trained, what kind of tequila I drink. He couldn't figure out how some rookie Crow could solve a puzzle that no one else could.
Ryan: [Sophie starts to climb the fence] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait. What? I don't need a boost?
Sophie: You'll be fine.
[Mary snickers; watching Ryan scale the fence with some effort]
Sophie: First fence?
Ryan: It'll come as a shock to you, but B&E doesn't come naturally.

Batwoman: [voice-over] Lies don't make anyone comfortable, especially the one telling them, but no one said anything about this job being comfortable. If i'm going to embrace the Bat, then i'm going to have to embrace hiding a part of myself from the outside world. Living this double life is a sacrifice, but our city is worth it.

Alice: [singing] Twinkle, twinkle, little bat. How I wonder where you're at. Up above the world you fly, like a tea tray in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little bat. Up until your brain went splat.

GCPD: [Duela's face is missing] Lord have mercy.
Duela: I'm finally perfect.

Alice: [to Kate; filled with rage] You... let.. me die.. But I didn't.
[knocks Kate out with metal tray]

Renee: You spend your whole life in service to logic, and forensic evidence. You know what love does? it makes you want to say things like, "I know she's down here. I can feel her."

Ryan: Why aren't you telling me what you're not telling me?
Alice: You lost me on the double negative.

Kate: I'm no killer.
Alice: And they say I'm the delusional one.

Batwoman: How's Arkham?
Colonel: It's a mess. Psychotic escapees are all over this city right now thanks to you.
Batwoman: Thanks to Alice. She had the entire asylum under...
Colonel: Alice isn't the one claiming to be the city's hero. She needs you as much as you need her. The Joker had Batman like she has you, and guess who always ends up as collateral damage.
Batwoman: I will protect my city.
Colonel: No, you won't. Because you're done. Get out.
Batwoman: You know I won't leave.
Colonel: Let this serve as your warning. If I see you again, it's war.

Agent: You come here looking for a fight?
Luke: You looking for another fake excuse to shoot me?

Mouse: You realize, the more people we abduct the more we risk exposure.
Hush: And you realize that none of this is real, right? You can play house and dress-up and pretend this funny farm is your own private castle. But at the end of the day, you're just a freak who made out with a radiator.

Alice: Oh, great. The sidekick.
Batwing: It's Batwing.
Alice: Ooh. Cool name. Now let's see if you can live up to it.

Kate: You know who you sound like?
Luke: I'm sure you'll tell me.
Kate: Lucius Fox.
Luke: Trust me, I am far cry from my father.
Kate: Oh, I know. He was actually useful.

Mary: [to Luke] Here's a sentence I've never said before. Can you hack the Batmobile?

Mary: But good news--I got to drive the Batmobile. Bad news--the wipers button and the rocket launchers look very similar. Someone should label those.

Alice: Oh, goody! I've always wanted to ride in the Batmobile.

Alice: You missed a gorgeous sunrise.
Sophie: Where are we?
Alice: Well, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be, although I'm a little surprised they got you a companion ticket. I guess they needed someone to report back I was dead.
Sophie: You planned on being kidnapped?
Alice: I needed a grand gesture to get an audience with the queen, and what do you get the girl who has everything? Answer: you get her so pissed off that she sends her most skilled killer to fetch you.
Sophie: Sorry. Who did you piss off?

Mary: It's gonna be okay.
Stephanie: No, it's not.
Mary: What?
Stephanie: [taking off her coat, revealing numbers and letters drawn all over her chest, back, and arms] I don't think he's done.

Alice: [to Kate] When I was under the influence of Fear Toxin, out of all the horrible things I experienced, worst was being left behind by you.

Mary: So, these are all the finalists, 'cause they deliver on the sss...
[imitating a sizzling sound]
Mary: ...and bat-gadget concealment, 'cause we want to hide the goods, but not hide the goods, you feel me?
Kate: Okay, the goal is to blend in.
Mary: Yeah, but at this place, standing out *is* blending in. I mean, the Lookout is the hottest club in Gotham; no offense to your bar. It's... you know, it's more of a lounge.
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Mary: And fortunately, your Batboots are both functional and on trend.

Kate: [narrating] In my search for Alice, something else happened. A city divided by walls, money, and bad luck rallied around a single hope, Bruce, you, except I was too busy to notice.

Kate: [has magpie in a armlock] Do you know what they say about a bird in the hand?
Magpie: Yeah I do.
[throws journal off building]

Johnny: How'd you know Batwoman would be coming for the journal?
Tommy: Well, I have friends in low places.
Johnny: Yeah, that I knew. The Bat's been a thorn in my bottom line for too long. Can't wait to clip her wings.
Tommy: Oh. Well, you enjoy that, buddy. Where's the journal?
Johnny: Yeah. See, here's the thing. If that book was so important that the Batbaby wanted it, I'm thinking that you undersold me on its value, so I'm gonna hang onto it.
Tommy: Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, don't be a dick.
Johnny: Tommy, your accounts are frozen, you're on ice. Can you blame me for giving you the cold shoulder? Take care of yourself, buddy.

Kate: We need to call the GCPD and get him arrested.
Colonel: Based on what? Some crazy horror story you and I tell the very same police commissioner who wrongly accused me of murder no less than four months ago?
Kate: It's the truth.
Colonel: Which can only be corroborated by a lunatic who everyone in Gotham thinks is dead. We need to think this through.
Kate: What do you suggest, we kill him, bury his body, and go on with our lives?
Colonel: [Cartwright coughs and wakes up] Rise and shine, you son of a bitch.
August: I was expecting Alice.
Colonel: Well, you got one meaner. Do you want me to start with your nose or your kneecaps?

Stephanie: My dad poisoned me and locked me in a box. You relax!

Mary: Blech. You know we're gonna have to deep-clean the Batmobile now.
Luke: Oh, I am well aware. Okay, based on the trajectory, they're headed somewhere along the waterfront.
Mary: Ugh. I get the appeal of Angelique or whatever, but how desperate are we? I mean, Alice? Alice? Really? Do we even know this isn't a trap?
Luke: Nope.

Kate: I'm not a hero, Mary.
Mary: I'm not asking you to be a hero. I'm just asking you to keep going.

Professor: I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll burn your house down!

Alice: Alice the Benevolent. It, um, does have a nice... ring to it.

Batwoman: Well, in my experience, when the Crows fly together, they call it a murder for a reason.

Luke: Tell me you destroyed it.
Sophie: I can't. Too many eyes. We need a plan B.
Luke: No. What? Sophie, no. Every plan involves you destroying the damn sample!
Sophie: Look. My entire office is acting like they're sitting on the nuclear codes. I'd have an easier time swiping records out of Area 51. There are only 78 more minutes 'til they get her profile. Then they're gonna upload it to the national DNA database, and... and if she's ever been entered in there for any reason ever, such as an arrest, they're gonna get a match, and the whole world will know Batwoman's identity.

Alice: Tell me you found my favorite knife.
Chuck: No luck.
Alice: What the hell did I do with it? It is so much more fun unveiling my evil plan when I can flip it about for cadence.
Chuck: And how does Kate Kane fit into that evil plan?
Alice: Now, you are so cute when you're jealous.
Chuck: I want to make sure we stay on point; uproot the city's confidence in the Crows, let chaos reign.
Alice: Mm. It's so boring when he says it.
Chuck: You're making this personal, Alice.
Alice: It *is* personal! My father gave up on me, and I want to make him suffer the way that I did by stripping away everything that he cares about until he's all alone. Where is my damn knife?

Kate: We just took out an old lady. I'm pretty sure the sister bonding time is over.

Arthur: Do you know why it's called beginner's luck? I'll give you a clue. It's because it's unexpected and because it doesn't last.
Sophie: As far as I'm concerned, it'll last for 13 life sentences.
Arthur: I love puzzles, but yours, rookie Crow, is missing a few pieces. How did you solve Cluemaster's riddle?
Sophie: I know it's just my first day, but a little advice: don't advertise the crime you're about to commit if you don't want to get caught.
Arthur: But that's how I showcase the sheer stupidity of mankind. I provide the authorities with all the clues and then watch as they screw it all up anyway.
Sophie: I'm sorry your view of mankind is so bleak. Get well.
Arthur: No one has ever matched wits with the Master. Tell me how you did it. Moore, please. I must know.
Sophie: You have the rest of your life in here to figure it out.

Mary: So, I assume that you've seen this, because you look good.
[they share a laugh about a picture of Batwoman]
Luke: Uh, hi, Mary. Kate... Kate's not Batwoman. That would be a major time suck from real estate development, her actual job.
Kate: It's fine. She knows.
Mary: Mm-hmm.
Luke: Sh-sh... she knows... she knows what, exact...
Mary: Yeah. We don't have to play this little game anymore.
Luke: What game? So you know what, Kate? You have a showing in fifteen minutes. You should really get going.
Kate: I'll let you two work this one out.
Luke: Yeah, great. So you know what? I'm gonna... you e-mail me that investment strategy, and I'll make sure to... I'll forward you back some-some comments about the building blueprints, and we'll-we'll make sure to get on the-the numbers.
Mary: Now you're just saying words.

Colonel: The False Face Society is peddling a new injectable, Snakebite. It's an addictive psychedelic made from mushrooms and Scarecrow's fear toxin. Figure out the False Face chain of command. I am not letting this get a foothold in my city.

Superman: You have to get Luthor out of your head, Kal. The multiverse needs you!
Superman: And what about what I need?

Batwoman: What the hell is this, barbeque for one?
Alice: Batty, what brings you here? Oh. Was it the odor? Honestly, I've been at this so long, I can hardly smell it.
Batwoman: Why are you here?
Alice: The False Face kidnapped a friend, so I've been popping by their known hideouts, seeing if someone would be willing to spill his possible location.
Batwoman: I'm looking for someone they kidnapped, too.
Alice: Really? Her name wouldn't happen to be... pbbft... I don't know, Angelique, by chance?
Batwoman: How do you know that?
Alice: Well, according to Mr. Extra Crispy over here, when Angelique couldn't conjure up the special sauce that gives Snakebite its bite, Black Mask took her phone and used it to track down the actual chef, who does know all 11 herbs and spices.
Batwoman: You're talking about Ocean.

Luke: You are holding the only shard of kryptonite on the planet.
Kate: Why was this in a puddle in the Batcave?
Luke: Safekeeping. Bruce was holding onto it. For... a friend.
Kate: Let me guess. Tights, cape, big "S" on his chest?
Luke: You... how do you know that?
Kate: Lucky guess.

Alice: It will be very clear when I transition to actual murder.

Mary: What was this puzzle about?
Sophie: "Quiz Bowl" was throwing a party to honor the game show's top winners. Arthur always thought the writers dumbed down the questions to appeal to a wider audience, so... he put a riddle in the Gazette, said he was gonna bomb the party.
Ryan: So how did you solve it?
Sophie: The truth? I didn't. All rookies spend a year on the tip line, and on my very first day, a girl called in frantic, told me about the puzzle, then told me what it meant. I was promoted to field agent the very next day.
Ryan: Because you lied and took credit for something you didn't do.
Sophie: You don't think it haunted me every time I strapped on a gun my first year that maybe I didn't deserve to be there?
Ryan: So, whose glory did you steal?
Sophie: Someone who begged me to keep her identity a secret, so I did. This will come as a shock to you, but I can be trusted.

Mary: [to Kate, when the phone rings] You have a landline?

Mary: You'd be a lot easier to trust if you weren't a serial killer.

Hush: [Batwoman is driving directly at him] Well, Batty wants to be a hood ornament.

Tweaker: I'm looking for Snakebite.
Devil: Get lost. Seen too much of you lately. Tweakers bring heat.
Tweaker: There's nothing like this out there.
Devil: [taking his money and giving him a plastic box] Go easy.

Ryan: Four targets.
Mary: Yeah.
Sophie: Four bullets.
Ryan: That's how we get her out. Look. We hit each of those targets in this specific color order.
Sophie: Too easy. The blocks detach from the chain, which means they're probably not in order. Besides, those symbols have to mean something.
Mary: Okay. Alphabetical by animal, then?
Ryan: Okay. So, uh, bird, bobcat, fly, and then spider.
Sophie: Bobcat? That's a puma, which means it comes after fly.
Ryan: It's a bobcat, which means it comes before.
Sophie: You want to bet her life on it?
Mary: Hey! There's a girl dying in a box. Think. If they're not in the right order, why chain them together in the first place?
Ryan: Food chain. They are in pecking order. Okay, so, bobcat/puma eats bird, bird eats spider, and spider eats fly.
Sophie: [taking aim] Let's find out.
Ryan: Whoa, whoa! Who said you were shooting?
Sophie: Pretty sure I just did.
Ryan: Anyone want to discuss the five shots of tequila you downed tonight?
Sophie: Mary.
Mary: Yeah?
Sophie: Pick. Someone who probably holds a high score in Duck Hunt or a military marksman?
[to Ryan]
Sophie: Unless you have some sharpshooter skills you'd like to disclose.
Ryan: Go for it.
Sophie: Thank you. Now back up.

Mary: It would be so refreshing if a supervillain actually said what they meant for once.

Julia: Bruce?
Tommy: Julia Pennyworth.
Julia: Oh! Luke told me you were back.
Tommy: Yeah. I meant to call, but, um...
Julia: No. We've all been so worried about you.
Tommy: I'm here, I'm healthy, and I'm late for a meeting, actually, so...
Julia: Did you ring the Eagle?
Tommy: Eagle?
Julia: The Eagle. Daddy practically raised you. I-I think he thinks you're dead.
Tommy: Good point. Um, yeah, I'll clear that up.
Julia: Well, he's at home in Glasgow, same little cottage in the woods.
Tommy: I'll buzz him ASAP. Good seeing you, Jules.

Ryan: She was bad for me.
Victor: That's how you know it's love.

Black: Masks have taken on various meanings over time. Deceit, disguise, cheap entertainment, but as Jung once said, we all wear masks, both to create an impression upon others but also to hide our own true natures.
Enigma: [he removes his mask] Good evening, Mr. Sionis.
[he touches another mask tenderly]
Enigma: It's absolutely beautiful.
Roman Sionis: Hmm. Though making people look their best is my specialty, I think this just so happens to be my masterpiece. For generations, every Sionis has had a replica mask decorating their casket. I exhumed this one from the coffin of my dearly departed daughter, once dead, now on the verge of rebirth.
Kate: My name is Kate Kane.
[he puts the mask on her]
Kate: No. No. Ugh!
Roman Sionis: Dr. Rhyme, if you would.
Enigma: Ms. Kane, our therapy has come to an end point. On my cue, you will remember nothing of your life before today. Your only memories will be those of Circe Sionis.
Kate: No. N...
[Enigma grabs her wrists]
Kate: No!
Enigma: [tapping her cane twice, Kate falls unconscious] I must warn you, Roman. While psychologically and behaviorally she is your daughter, there was nothing I could do about her voice. Her larynx was damaged by your man during the kidnapping and subsequent torture.
Roman Sionis: Hmm.
Circe: [regaining consciousness] What the hell, dad? Why am I wearing this mask?
Roman Sionis: Well, don't you remember, sweetheart? You were in a terrible fire when you broke out of Arkham.
Circe: It still feels a little fuzzy.
Roman Sionis: Hmm. Well, things will become more and more clear as the days pass. The important thing is now that you have this mask, no one will ever hurt you again.

Luke: Ryan, hurry up! If you miss your window, you're gonna end up in the middle of the ocean and there's no shark repellant on the utility belt.
Batwoman: Well, why not?
Luke: Because that's stupid.

Kara: You did this? You brought that... poisonous snake back?
Mar: His destiny was unfulfilled. Lex Luthor still has an important role to play.
Kara: So you can revive him, but you can't bring back Oliver?
Mar: I restored Luthor long before the Crisis caused my power to wane.
Kara: And what about those innocent lives on Earth-38? Did they not have destinies to fulfill? I'm sorry, but I can't trust a man who thinks Lex Luthor is an ally.
Kate: All I got from that is that if you die again, that dude can't bring you back.
Lex: And you are?
Kate: New. And unfriendly.

Alice: Your father doesn't want you, Kate. He shipped you away and you show up without the proper postage. Sophie is the daughter your father always wanted, not you.

Mary: You're Victor Zsasz.
Victor: I'm actually here to clean up a little mess. It seems you and I have ruffled some of the same feathers. Now I have to tie up some loose ends.
Mary: Would those feathers belong to Safiyah?
Victor: I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you, so I'll just tell you. Yes.

Bruce: A paragon of courage?
[laughs]
Bruce: Yeah. Right. I hate to break this to you, but... you're a few years too late. Here. Read this.
[hands Kate a newspaper article]
Kate: [looks at the article and becomes confused] Don't get me wrong, but... a reign of terror?
Bruce: It's like a wise man once said: "Battle not with monsters, unless you become a monster". I've lost track of how many people I've killed over the years.
Kate: The Bruce I knew had a code.
Bruce: You start with a code. You hang on to it with every self-righteous breath. But then you take one life. Then another, and another, and another. You'll see. My Kate... my Kate put on the cape. Thought she'd succeed where I failed! But all she did was get herself killed!
Kate: Well, I'm not her. And I never will be her.
Bruce: And I'm not an old man held together with wire and metal!
Kate: Fine. Be that way. I don't care. You're nothing but a broken ticked off old hermit, waiting to die in this 11-bedroom, 7-bath coffin, but apparently, you're needed. I'm giving you the chance to be a hero again and save not just Gotham, but... the whole damn universe!

Barry: I'm glad you're here.
Iris: Me, too. From what you told me, the Monitor was wrong about Oliver, so I don't know, Barry. Maybe he's wrong about you, too. Maybe... you're not supposed to die.
Barry: Listen, Oliver told me about how he brought Sara and his sister back to life using something called a Lazarus Pit.
Iris: I don't know. That sounds too good to be true.
Barry: Well, it... I mean, it is. It turns out Thea destroyed all the Pits on this Earth, but there are more Earths to choose from.
Iris: I know that you want Oliver back more than anything, but this is...
Barry: He can't be dead. Not him.
Iris: Okay. Funny enough, the Monitor gave me a mission of my own. To find our hopeless Kryptonian Paragon. Heh.
Barry: Did you ever think this would be our life?
Iris: I will take whatever life with you I can get.

Ocean: I bore people to death by telling them I'm a soil technician.
Alice: That sounds like a fancy name for dirt nerd.

Alice: An Alice with a goal is so much sweeter than an Alice unmoored.

Batwoman: The suit's bulletproof, dumbass.
Devil: Who are you?
Batwoman: Batwoman.
Devil: Nah. You ain't Batwoman.
Batwoman: Is that so? Luke, I need a good comeback. Luke?
Luke: Uh, sorry. Nothing's coming.
Batwoman: [fist-fighting the dealer, with each landing blow] Does this... clear... things... up?
Devil: [with his arm wrenched behind his head] Are... are you beeping?
Luke: Yeah. What is that? Is that an alarm?
Batwoman: Tag in the GCPD. I gotta go.
Luke: You got somewhere else you need to be?

Kate: Noctura? Was Night-Bite taken?

Mary: Okay. Problem.
Kate: What?
Mary: Her cells are disintegrating on a molecular level.
Beth: May I? I'm no expert in multiverses...
Luke: But you're two credits shy of astrophysicist, so whatever you're thinking, spill.
Beth: Well, I've read some theories - the multiple universe hypotheses, inflation model, MWI of quantum mechanics.
Kate: [confused] MWI?
Luke: Many worlds...
Beth: Many worlds interpretation.
Kate: Does anyone speak real people?
Beth: Right. Um, in my research, I theorize that all of these universes are separated for a reason. If I'm right, it means Alice has one mother of a headache, too. Collateral damage from the multiverse collapsing. In other words, this universe is literally not big enough for the both of us, and the longer we coexist in this world, the more we're living on borrowed time except we're borrowing it from each other. As cells decay, the body goes haywire, synaptic misfire, pain receptors go into overdrive until eventually...
Kate: If we can't find a way to save you, you're both gonna die.

Sophie: You ever feel like you're hiding from the world.
Kate: I'm literally standing in a shadow.

Kate: Tell me you found that journal.
Julia: We've gone through the entire place, which is basically a shrine to his twig and berries, but alas, no Lucius Fox journal.
Luke: The guy owned at least 40 buildings in Gotham alone. Who knows where he could have stashed it?
Kate: [getting an idea] Well, there is one person who knows.

Luke: Batwoman, we took a group vote, and you need to come home.
Batwoman: What are you talking about? Angelique is being held somewhere in this dump.
Mary: And while we appreciate that she's a former flame, Sophie just dropped an A-bomb. We need to figure out how to preserve your identity.
Batwoman: We will once I find Angelique.
Mary: Didn't Sophie just say that we only had a couple more hours?
Batwoman: Yeah. So I gotta be quick.
Luke: Okay, I'm just gonna say it. Finding Angelique is not worth throwing the Bat-legacy down the drain.
Batwoman: Excuse me?
Luke: Look, I'm just saying you can't have both. Black Mask is using Angelique to cook Snakebite, right? So, he went through a lot of trouble for her, so I highly doubt he'd just kill off his golden goose right off the bat. Priority number one should be saving the future of the symbol for your sake and the city's, and then...
Batwoman: How about this? You two call Sophie, y'all put your heads together and save my future. I'll be here kicking some False Face ass, saving my past.
[finding a mask and blood spatter on the ground]
Batwoman: I'll check in later.

Luke: Bomb squad just left. They're gonna have some follow-up questions, but since you weren't here...
Kate: Thanks.
Luke: I should be thanking you for talking me off the ledge last night.
Kate: That's what partners are for.

Alice: What do you call it when you're sure you've met someone... you're sure you've never met? A stay of execution.

Alice: What's wrong? No interest in painting your nails, gossiping about boys?
Kate: We have a lot to catch up on.
Alice: Hmm. I'd rather not. I came here tonight to ask you one simple question. After I disappeared, when did you sleep through the night for the very first time?
Kate: I haven't yet.
Alice: Hmm. Sure you have.
Kate: I never moved on.
Alice: Why is that?
Kate: Because I never gave up hope that I would find you.
Alice: And why is that?
Kate: Because I should have been with you.

Sophie: Pretty sure in the real world this would be an HR violation of appropriate workplace behavior.
Luke: Good thing it's not the real world.
Sophie: Yeah. Well, hurry up because you're breathing like Darth Vader and making me feel bad about that bagel I had for breakfast.

Victor: Okay, now that was really something. Real confidence behind it. I haven't been kicked like that since... well, Batman.
Batwoman: Not trying to pass for him, either.
Victor: Story for another time, but... you should ask yourself... if the person you're inflicting pain on actually enjoys pain... at what point do you just... give up?

Ryan: I just wanted to say thank you. That suit changed my life in more ways than one, and it has been an honor to be able to wear your symbol.
Kate: I put that suit on to give back to my city. You put it on to survive. You know better than anyone what that symbol means to the people who have no hope left. Batwoman's yours, Ryan.

Colonel: How the hell did someone get a bomb on that bridge? There is something else going on here, and between the Crows and the GCPD, it needs to start making sense. Get out!

Batwoman: You're gonna tell me everything you know about Alice.
Chuck: I thought you were Batman.
Batwoman: You wish.

Victor: And I'm afraid a deadline is a deadline. That's a very violent word when you think about it, but entirely appropriate to this moment.

Alice: I learned a long time ago that cries for help don't work.

Alice: I know I'm probably the last person you expected to call, but...
Colonel: Who is this?
Alice: It's Alice. Um, Beth. Hello?
Colonel: [in a Snakebite-induced hallucination, seeing Beth and Kate as little girls] I don't... I-I don't understand.
Alice: I need you to trace this call and come rescue me. I'm being held by Black Mask, and the fact that I am SOS-ing the man who had several shoot-to-kill orders on me should underscore my desire to get the hell out of here. Jacob Kane? Hello?
Colonel: You have the wrong number.
Alice: Daddy!
[he hangs up]
Alice: Daddy?

Mary: I wasn't sure how you guys celebrated.
Kate: Usually by icing my knuckles.

Ryan: I always wondered who my birth mother was. Now I know... someone not worth my time.

Alice: Initiate self-destruct? Cool.
Batwoman: Hey! This is a rescue mission, not a school field trip. Stop!
Alice: Well, you agreed to this little team-up pretty quickly, which tells me that this Angelique must be very near and dear to your heart.
Batwoman: You want to tell me where I should turn?
Alice: Keep going straight, which I'm guessing you didn't do with Angelique. Come on. You can tell me everything. Who emojied who first? I'm dying to know how a drug chef stole Batwoman's heart.
Batwoman: We are not doing this. We are not getting to know each other. Everything I need to know about you is written on my mama's grave.

Ryan: [to Roman] Mary Kay joining your legion of doom?

Mary: [something obviously not a worm falls out of Sophie's tequila bottle] They say the worm is lucky.
Sophie: No. No, no, no. This... that ain't a worm.
Ryan: This is why you don't drink hooch from the Crows.
Mary: [looking it up on her phone] I think it's a puss caterpillar, the Southern Flannel Moth, genus megaloypyge. It's one of the most venomous caterpillars in the world.
Ryan: Oh, no, no, no, no.
Sophie: No.
Mary: Okay, but according to the internet, a single caterpillar isn't lethal.
Sophie: So we're good, right?
Ryan: [opening a card] Wait. I don't think we're the target, and I don't think this bottle came from your boys.
Sophie: What?
[taking it]
Sophie: "A girl's been poisoned; not you. That's no fun. Can you save her before midnight? I'll give you a clue, hotshot: probably not. Love... Cluemaster."

Ryan: Your phone is about to ring, and the answer is yes.
Mary: Roxanne, will you excuse me? Hey, Amy. Can you help Roxanne to the lab?
[giving her assistant a file folder]
Mary: Yeah. Thank you.
[leading Ryan a few feet away]
Mary: Come here. What are you doing here? I'm in the middle of a consul...
Ryan: I am so sorry. I just...
Mary: [her phone buzzes] Mary Hamilton. Yes, I am the current owner of the Hold-Up. Ryan Wilder's parole officer. Okay. Hi. Did I just hire Ryan for a bartending position?
[Ryan non-verbally urges her to say yes]
Mary: Yes. Yes. I was very impressed by her... fruit-slicing abilities. Yeah. Okay. Talk to you soon.
[hanging up]
Mary: Since when can parolees work at a bar?
Ryan: She is making an exception because I can't get a job.
Mary: Well, this is perfect, because working at the Hold-Up will detract people from thinking you're you-know-who, and it'll explain why we'll be hanging out together all the time.
Ryan: All the time?
Mary: Mm-hmm.
Ryan: Luke said I'm only keeping the suit warm 'til Kate gets back. You make it seem like she's not. Which one is it?

Kate: That place will be filled with mobsters.
Mary: Which is why you need backup.
Kate: [clearing her throat] I... already have it.
Mary: [seeing Luke and Julia] I thought there weren't any more spots on the Bat-team.
Julia: Oh. I'm just an honorary member, luv.
Kate: The Crows plucked her from the SRR. She's literally trained for this.

Bruce: The Kate I knew didn't trust anyone, let alone a Kryptonian.
Kate: I don't know what happened to you, Bruce, but it ends now.
Bruce: Yes. Let it end. Let it all end. This world's not worth saving in any universe.
Kate: If you really think that, you're gonna have to kill one more person. Me.
Bruce: Don't be a fool!
[tries to hit Kate, but Kate overpowers him by kicking him toward an electric panel, and Bruce gets electrocuted. Kate rushes to help him, but Kara stops her]
Supergirl: Don't! He'll kill you!
Bruce: [with his last breath] Kate... listen to me. There is no hope.
[dies]

Sophie: Like the new look. Red suits you.
Batwoman: Goes with everything.

Lois: [seeing a collection of plaques on Clark's wall] What is this? Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane? Why are all these names on your wall?
Clark: A... reject from Gotham felt that we didn't cover him enough, so he played what he called a practical joke and gassed the building.
Iris: All these people died?
Clark: [nodding] My friends, my wife. I lost everyone in one fell swoop.
Lois: Almost as if you've been through more loss than any mortal man could endure.
Iris: I think we just found our Paragon.

Mary: [looking at Catco magazine] Kate... You are totally Batwoman.

Agent: Freeze. Hands in the air.
Batwoman: You got to be kidding me.
Agent: He's ours. Back the hell away.
Batwoman: Kind of in the middle of something.
Agent: Kinda gonna shoot you in the face. Hands in the air. Now!
Batwoman: You hearing this?
Luke: [on comms] I know it's tempting, but don't.
Batwoman: [to the Crows] You want to know why you guys suck?
Luke: And here we go.
Batwoman: It's not just because you don't care about 99% of the people in this city, or just because you lie and you cheat and you cover up murders. It's because you legit suck at your job.
Agent: Five seconds until we shoot.
Batwoman: I put a tracker on his boot, moron. Guy had no idea. He would have led me back to Black Mask, I would have had the upper hand, and the most dangerous man in Gotham would have been behind bars! Instead, your alpha asses show up late acting like I was the enemy, and they gave me time to do this.
[she fires a two-way grappling hook and escapes]

Mary: [to Batwoman] Ok. I so dig the new wig.

Kate: We know she's targeting club-goers. Maybe your little black light will come in handy after all.
Luke: We're having a party.
Kate: We're having a party.

Kate: Are you my sister?
Alice: Hmm. Who in the world am I? Now that is the great puzzle, isn't it?
Kate: Did you know I was gonna have your knife tested for DNA?
Alice: You had my knife?
[unfolding a butterfly knife]
Alice: And here I've been going around using this charmless contraption.
Kate: You didn't have your guys jump me.
Alice: Jump you? Kate, we're sisters.
Kate: Prove it. Let me test your DNA before the Crows kill you.
Alice: I already proved it. I'm here. I knew the password, "waffles". Our favorite spot. We used to come here after school on Fridays and gorge our faces in chocolate-covered garbage. How else would I know that? Unless... oh, dear. Did the press mention that you and Beth used to come here as part of your silly little tradition, and did I read an old article online?

Marquis: See? That's the thing. If the Joker was so horrible, why was he the only one in this damned city who looked like he was having any fun?

Kate: How did Nocturna know about the Desert Rose?
Alice: You mean, how did you know that Nocturna knew about the Desert Rose? Because Mary is alive because, uh, I saved her.
Kate: You sent her after Mary.
Alice: Of course I did. It was Mary's life or mine, and someone had to choose me for once.
Kate: If you want me to feel guilty, I don't. I never will, not after everything you've done.
Alice: Hmm. See, I don't believe you. I think somewhere deep down there's a teeny, tiny part of you that's relieved I lived, that you hadn't quite failed at saving me
Kate: And they call Nocturna a vampire when all you do is feed off my guilt like the parasite you are.
Alice: So you're saying that you feel guilty.
Kate: What's the end game, Alice? Why'd you save Mary?
Alice: To prove to you how stupid you were for letting me die.
Kate: Stupid? Stupid was thinking that my sister was redeemable. Stupid was convincing The Crows not to kill you. Stupid was rescuing you from the Gotham river, convincing Dad that I could get Beth back. Stupid was thinking that you could ever, ever possibly be worth it.
Alice: But maybe I don't want you to give up on me.

Marquis: They say you should never meet your heroes.
Kiki: What do they say about meeting your villains?

Magpie: Do we have to be on opposite sides? Birds of a feather should flock together.
Batwoman: I'm allergic to feathers.

Sophie: You ambushed 5 of my guys at a checkpoint last night. Care to explain?
Batwoman: Detaining the former commander's daughter, that's a statement. Besides, what happened to probable cause?
Sophie: Alice got away on my watch. It's on me to find her. The
Batwoman: And it's on me to protect my city.
Sophie: Copy that. So if the law breaking vigilante is done telling me how to do my job, I should get back to it.
Batwoman: Call off the shoot to kill order on Alice.
Sophie: Why are you protecting a terrorist all of a sudden?
Batwoman: I'm protecting you. Is this really how you want to start your command, roughing up innocents, unlawful searches? Your boss is in jail. You're losing your clients, and half the city thinks the Crows are on some kind of power trip. A manhunt like this puts innocent lives in jeopardy.
Sophie: Alice puts innocent lives in jeopardy.
Batwoman: Then let me find her my way. Tell the Crows to stand down.
Sophie: Are you crazy?
Batwoman: You once told me you trusted me.

Colonel: NTSB found Kate's phone in the wreckage. Since you and Mary wouldn't answer my calls, I had the tech team on all night trying to override the password.
Sophie: Actually, that's why I'm here.
Colonel: Do you have any idea what in the hell Kate was doing looking into a painting by Jack Napier?
Sophie: Maybe we can ask her when we find her, sir. I think Kate's alive.

Ryan: [to Montoya] You're tying my fate to a psychopath?

Kate: Mary.
Mary: You remember.
Kate: How do we know each other again?
Mary: Okay. Baby steps.

Victor: You must be the new girl. Did you find what you're looking for?
Batwoman: [feeling her utility belt] B-Batarang?
Luke: Somebody used 'em all.
Mary: They run out?
Luke: Use the bo staff.
Victor: While we're all waiting for something to happen, can I make you a drink?

Alice: I've never asked this to a woman, but... you didn't happen to roofie me for six months straight?

Safiyah: I hated what you did, but I'd be lying if I said I hated how you did it. Poisoning hundreds of people only to turn around and save them just to spite a single enemy. You got my attention.
Alice: This may come as a shock to you, but your approval means very little to me.
Safiyah: Wasn't always the case. Remember when we met? You were hiding out on that yacht we were raiding. You'd just escaped captivity. Your Mouse locked away, his father out in the world. You were so... broken, so angry like a siren thrashing in her net. You thanked me for finding you.
Alice: You didn't find me.
Safiyah: No. No, you found yourself. Because I taught you how to turn your rage into power, but that rage never included killing Kate, and now it consumes you to the point of seeking revenge against her supposed killer? Why? What happened?
Alice: Can't a girl change her mind?
Safiyah: Not the girl I knew. Not the girl who loved her sister more than anyone. What happened between the two of you, Alice?
Alice: If you must know... I always thought Kate and I were one and the same, not hero and villain, just two sisters who would do anything for one another. But I was wrong.

Ocean: Oh, crap.
Alice: Yeah. My thoughts exactly.

Julia: [after "Bruce's" visit to the Crows office] He didn't remember our codename for my father.
Luke: The Eagle? He made it up.
Julia: Yes. I told him to ring Daddy at home at his cottage in Glasgow. Bruce didn't blink an eye.
Luke: Alfred lives in a flat in London.
Julia: I smelled alcohol on his breath. I saw he had a drink in the Commander's office, ran the glass for prints.
Mary: Please do not say what I think you're about to say.
Julia: [showing them Tommy's GCPD file] I'm really sorry, Luke. I think Alice made him a new face.
Luke: No. No. They carried Tommy Elliot out of Arkham in a body bag.
Mary: Or they wanted us to believe as much, and who better to masquerade as Bruce Wayne than the person who's been obsessed with him his entire life?

Black: If I only kill one Crow today, I'll fall asleep depressed.

Ryan: You know how you know you're on the journey to being a hero? You fail.

Mary: Come on, Luke. Wake up. Who else is gonna roll their eyes at me every time I threaten to redecorate the Batcave, or ignore my fashion advice, even though you clearly only own a suit?

Circe: Where's Batwoman?
Alice: Finally, a member of this lame society who's actually trying.
[indicating the mask]
Alice: Love this. Is it oak?
[Circe puts a dagger to her throat]
Alice: You can find her on the deck.
Circe: I'll be back for you.
Alice: Looking forward to it.

Alice: You're not asking the right questions, Kate. What is my evil plan? Who am I targeting next? How am i going to do it? When you really need to be asking why? Why am I like this?

Kate: Lex Luthor; kind of a dick, huh?
Kara: When I think of all those people on my Earth that we wanted to save but couldn't, it just feels unfair.
Kate: Look. A day ago, I didn't think my life could get any worse. My sister murdered my stepmom a-and framed my dad for it.
Kara: That's dark, even for Gotham.
Kate: I'm fighting for a chance to make it right, and this fourth Paragon, my cousin Bruce on... another Earth, finding him might help me get that chance.
Kara: Only if you believe the Monitor.
Kate: What kind of talk is that from the Paragon of Hope?
[taking an extrapolator out of her jacket pocket]
Kate: Come with me. Let's go save the universe.

Luke: The suit is literal perfection.
Kate: It will be... when it fits a woman.

Kate: You need help finding the guy who framed my dad and murdered Catherine.
Alice: Both done at my request.
Kate: Didn't he also try to kill you?
Alice: And yet I still forgive him, choosing to see the best in him. Ever tried that?
Kate: All the time. Never works out.

John: You sure you want to do this? A Lazarus Pit's nasty business.
Mia: We're sure.
[Constantine lights two cigarettes]
Barry: We don't have a lot time, so could you please take your smoke break later, maybe just do the spell?
John: Simmer down, speedy. This is the spell.

Superman: You don't belong here.
Superman: We're here because we need your help.
Superman: Help? I couldn't even save my wife, my friends. I don't care about your universe.
Lois: Yes, you do. You're the Paragon of Truth.
Superman: There's only one truth. I serve Lex Luthor.
Superman: Kal, stop.

Chuck: The only thing more dangerous than a corrupt man is one who thinks he's noble.
Colonel: I'm not sure I need a morality lesson from the guy who sides with one of Gotham's most prolific killers.

Colonel: I saw Beth's body. She was dead.
Kate: I know what you saw. All that matters is... that it wasn't our Beth.
Colonel: Well, what are you saying? That the girl on the metal slab was an imposter?
Kate: Or another skin pirate minion. Gotham has seen crazier things. In fact, there's one right in front of us now.
[handing him a wallet]
Kate: Turns out the bastard who makes faces in his basement also masquerades around Gotham's elite as the city's beloved plastic surgeon.

Reagan: What are you doing here? Don't you have a club of your own now?
Kate: I'm checking out the competition. Promise not to tell your boss?
Reagan: Only if you let me make you a drink on the house and you promise not to tell my boss.
Kate: Deal.
Reagan: I actually stopped by the Holdup a couple of times. I was hoping... I don't know, maybe I would run into you.
Kate: I don't really oversee the day-to-day.
Reagan: Too busy? Yeah, I remember. At the risk of sounding even more stalkery, I've been following your real estate endeavors. Buying up property around Bennett Park and actually lowering the rents? This city could use a lot more Kate Kane.

Superman: You okay?
Superman: Actually, this is the second time I've gone nuts and fought myself.

Ryan: Not late.
Parole: Nope. You had a comfortable 12-second cushion before I would have had to revoke your parole for missing your appointment. I assume this means you have a day job now?

Mar: We must find all seven Paragons.
Lois: How about, like, a hint?
Mar: I have four. Kara Zor-El, despite all you have endured, you are the Paragon of Hope.
Kara: Well, you might want to double-check your omnipotence, 'cause I'm not feeling that hopeful right now.
Mar: Sara Lance is the Paragon of Destiny.
Ray: Oh. Well, that makes sense. Captain of time travel and all that.
Mar: I have only descriptions for the other two Paragons. One is of a second Kryptonian, who is said to have suffered a greater loss than most mortal men could endure. Today, he stands as the Paragon of Truth.

Luke: [after an explosion derails Alice's transport to Arkham] Batcave to Kate. You're still five minutes out.
Batwoman: I can make it.
Luke: Tell me you realize that place is crawling with cops.

Alice: Never leave a woman who's been in captivity half her life with a hairpin.

Sophie: Is this you?
Kate: What? This-this dude in the picture?
Sophie: The person in this picture dressed at Batman who saved my life the other night. Was that you?
Kate: Anyone who knows me knows I hate Batman.
Sophie: So does your dad. Which would make putting on the suit makes an incredibly reckless move.
Kate: Wasn't me. Beside, if I were going to save you in a dramatic fashion, I would totally dress as Wonder Woman.

Kate: How do you know who he is?
Tommy: You mean Batman?
[Feigning surprise]
Tommy: Oops! Did I say that out loud?
Kate: How do you know that?
Tommy: Oh, because a few months ago, I paid a man to riddle me the answer. Gotta love the honorable Bruce Wayne for designing a fail-safe so he could never become too powerful in a super-suit. Such a great guy.
Kate: He's your best friend.
Tommy: Yeah, he was. The bestest. Nothing could be average with Bruce. Even had to have more dead parents than me.
Kate: Because he saved your mom's life?
Tommy: Oh, yeah. No, I am aware. Thanks to him, instead of collecting my inheritance, I was left wiping the spittle off of a jabbering madwoman's lips for 13 years.
Kate: You wanted him dead, why wait until he's in a bulletproof suit?
Tommy: Because Bruce didn't ruin my life. Batman did. Do you know what it's like to have the villain of your story be the hero of your city? He is a monster who left me anchored to a repulsive, gold-digging bitch, and now he's gonna die.

Sophie: I know how you feel about vigilantes, sir, but instead of wasting our time with Batwoman, shouldn't we be trying to figure out who Black Mask is?
Colonel: Well, we were, but Batwoman got in the way of that, ruined our undercover operation, and cost us a chance to take down Black Mask.
Sophie: She's on our side, Commander.
Colonel: Heh. Well, if that were true, she wouldn't mind being on a first-name basis.
Sophie: Is that the real reason you're doing this? Trust? Or is it because every time you see her, you think of Kate?
Colonel: Get out of my office, Moore.
Sophie: Excuse me?
Colonel: You think a little fling with my daughter five years ago gives you permission to tell me how to do my job?
Sophie: Sir, I... I didn't mean to overstep.
Colonel: Get out of my office now.

Batwoman: Seriously?
Luke: That would have been a 10 if you stuck the landing.
Batwoman: I would have stuck the landing if the boots actually fit.
Luke: [she throws batarangs at a drug dealer] You know we don't have an inexhaustible supply of those, right? About a grand apiece. We're at about 4 grand now?
Batwoman: [nailing the dealer in the knee] Ha ha! Worth it!

Tommy: Visiting hours are four days a week. He's a total no-show. Is that any way to treat your best friend?
Kate: It is if you killed his actual best friend: Lucius Fox.
Tommy: [banging the glass in anger] That's an outrageous lie. Lucius was never Bruce's best friend.
Kate: Of course that would be your takeaway.
Tommy: What did Lucius Fox ever do for Bruce?
Kate: You mean besides turning Wayne R&D into the world leader in defense technology? Oh, but you already knew that. That's why you had him killed; for his journal. You wanted the keys to the candy store.

Parker: Why are you doing this?
Alice: Because my inner mean girl never got to live out her high school experience.

Kate: [holding Cartwright restrained] I think Alice found him and left him for me.
Colonel: Alice is dead.
Kate: That's the thing. She's not.

Batwoman: One sentry. Looks like they're trying to keep a low profile.
Alice: [reaching for the telescope] I wanna see.
[Batwoman shrugs her off]
Alice: Why don't I get any Battoys? Can I at least have a batarang?
Batwoman: Okay, you draw him out, I'll take him out. Think you can handle that?
Alice: Sure.
Batwoman: [she honks the Batmobile's horn] What the hell are you doing?
Alice: What you asked.
Batwoman: I told you to draw him out, not draw him to us.
Alice: And I delivered. Your move, lover girl.

Sophie: Hey, just remember. She never gave you anything. So, she can't take anything away.

Beth: I'm just saying I wasn't held captive for half my life.
Alice: I'm confused. Surely someone found you washed up on the riverbank after mummy's car crashed into the river.
Alice: No one found me because I never washed up onto the riverbank.
Beth: Then how did you survive the infamous crash? Do tell. I doubt you simply swam to shore like a nimble, little frog paddling past mother's head as it bobbed in the rapids.
Kate: Beth... didn't go over.
Alice: But there was a crash, was there not? Oh. I see. So on your Earth, rather than simply standing by and sobbing, your Kate pulled you from the car before it fell. I always wondered what my life would have been like if you had saved me. I just never imagined that I'd be so... basic. Eyes that never had to witness the horrors that I saw. Ears that never had to hear the evils I heard. Lips that never had to beg for her life.
Kate: Because two Beth Kanes can't exist at the same time.
Beth: Technically speaking, we are an anomaly of intergalactic proportions.
Alice: Got it. So in order for one of us to live, the other has to die. Now I am no astrophysicist, but I'm pretty sure that two minus the one who doesn't belong means I get to live, and my knife is pretty good at subtraction.
[throw her knife at Beth and Kate catches it]

Kate: Magpie is your sister?
Reagan: Surprise.
Kate: Why did she want it?
Reagan: It bought her her freedom out of Arkham.
Kate: Who did she give it to?
Reagan: I don't know. I don't ask for details for exactly this reason. Besides, by now, it's lost up the food chain, she's in the wind. I told all of this to your friend.
Kate: What? What friend?
Reagan: Blonde chick with the British accent. She cornered me in a parking lot, put a knife to my throat, didn't stop to give a name.

Iris: We need you to come back with us. I know this sounds insane, but... you might be the key to saving the Multiverse.
Clark: That's actually one of the least insane thing's I've ever heard.
[changes into Superman]
Superman: First, we stay and face Luthor.
Superman: And you won't do it alone.
Lois: We won't let him kill you.
Lex: Oh, I've moved on from that. Never thought I'd say this, but I'm tired of killing Supermen. So much more making Superman kill Superman.

Alice: [riding in the Batmobile] Ooh! What does this button do?
Batwoman: Pisses me off. Don't make me hit the ejector seat.
Alice: That exists?
Batwoman: You want to find out?
Alice: Kinda.

Vesper: Okay, people. Time to recalibrate our gaydar. Batwoman is a lesbian? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but talk to me Gotham. Whatever happened to politics staying out of our superheroes?

Alice: Me, deep? There's no need for insults.

Kate: [pulling Jacob off Cartwright] If you kill him, then we are no better than he is.
August: Not to mention you'll never find out where Alice is being tortured. Hoo. I can only imagine the darkness she has inside of her. I have a feeling I know exactly who's paying her a visit.
Kate: Who?
August: Mommy dearest.

Colonel: Crows represent order, security, safety.

Vesper: Okay, people, time to get real. Massive explosion on the Loeb Bridge last night. The leader of the Alice in Wonderland Gang is in the wind, and Batman was not there. Was there a cowl convention we didn't know about? Was it Robin's high school graduation? Talk to me, Gotham. Did we put our hope in a ghost?

Barry: What is it? Some kind of star map?
John: Parallel Earths spread out by vibrational frequency. We are well and truly bolloxed. So many Earths already gone, and more vanishing as we speak.
[chanting in a foreign language]
John: I give you the needle in the celestial haystack; an Earth with a functioning Lazarus Pit.
Mia: Okay. Well, now what?
John: [vanishing the map into nothing] Ah. Perhaps a thank you and a little well-earned awe for a magical job well done, eh?
Mia: How about I thank you when you bring my dad back?

Jacob: You know where Kate is? Alice, if you know where she is, you tell me right now!
Alice: What do I know? What do I know? I know what a watermelon looks like when it falls from a great height.
Jacob: That's your sister you're talking about.
Alice: And now she's gone, which is probably your cue to move on with your life, maybe remarry, find a new daughter to replace her with.
Jacob: I'm not making the same mistakes I made with you. I will not stop looking until she's found. It's over, Alice...
Alice: Kate Kane is Batwoman!
Jacob: And I'm The Joker. Arkham's waiting.
Alice: Use your brain, commander. A lesbian superhero who could have killed me a dozen times but didn't? Hmm. I wonder who that could be.
Jacob: That's preposterous. Kate would have told me.
Alice: You rejected her over and over to the world, to her face. You wanted her dead.
Jacob: You're wrong.
Alice: Am I, or did you spend your last precious moments together firing a gun at her? You got your wish, Daddy. Batwoman is dead, and she died knowing that her father hated her.

Luke: [leading "Bruce" into the Batcave] For the record, Kate found it all on her own, and Batwoman was her idea.
Tommy: Well, Kate's not the type to sit idle while her sister's upending Gotham.
Luke: Wait. Hold up. You know Alice is Beth?
Tommy: [covering] Of course. They are my cousins.
[seeing the various Bat-weapons]
Tommy: Red accents are a choice.
Luke: Bruce, come on. Why didn't you call or-or write or answer one of my 3,000 texts?
Tommy: Because for every Alice Kate had, I had 20, all trying to find a way to kill me and everyone I cared about. Protecting you meant not letting you in.
[taking a weapon off the wall]
Tommy: Sticky-bomb launcher. Ohh. Oh. Your old man knew what he was doing, although I would have preferred the suit stay fully impenetrable.
Luke: Trust me, that makes two of us. In fact, this is why Kate flew to National City, to ask Kara Danvers if we could destroy one stupid piece of kryptonite before it got into the wrong hands.
Tommy: The only material on Earth strong enough to penetrate the Batsuit. I should probably hold onto this.
Luke: Look, I wanted it gone, okay? I-I-I thought I could protect her.
Tommy: Hey, hey, hey. We'll find her, okay?
[glancing at the wall and noticing what's missing]
Tommy: Wait. Where's the suit?

Anti: Lyla Michaels, Harbinger, I need you.
Harbinger: Who are you?
Anti: Universe after universe has fallen before my power. World after world consumed. With every death, I steal my mirror's strength, and mine grows every stronger. Who am I? I am the Anti-Monitor. Come, Harbinger, there is work to be done.

Luke: You called it. Whatever you said must have rattled Tommy's cage. 22 minutes since you left Arkham, there's already an outgoing call to...
[checking a computer screen]
Luke: ...address says the Lookout.
Kate: Isn't that Johnny Sabatino's club?
Luke: Technically, but Tommy owns the building.
Kate: Hmm. Rumor has it that Sabatino's been laundering Tommy's money through that club for years.
Luke: That is one posh laundromat.

Circe: Word of advice. The last person who tried to one-up me ended up with his eyes gouged out like two olives on a toothpick.
Alice: Now, that makes me want a martini.
Circe: Well, just tell Black Mask who Batwoman is, and you'll be drinking one soon.
Alice: Here's the thing. I could, but then I wouldn't have the satisfaction of killing her myself. It's personal, but I've had limited success with my vengeance games as of late, and quite frankly, it's left me feeling rather... pbfft... unfulfilled.
Circe: Feelings. How awful. I hope it's worth your life one... eyeball... at a time.
Alice: Funny story. You remind me of an inmate I heard of at Arkham. Sweet Circe Sionis. Poked the baby blues out of some corporate bigwig. My Mouse and I used to call her "Can't CEO Killer." Ahh. Memories.
Circe: He deserved it.
Alice: Who, dear?
Circe: The corporate bigwig. He crossed a line, and I had to make sure he never found his way back.
Alice: [recognizing her] You. You gouged his eyeballs out. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. Why, if it isn't Circe Sionis. I heard that you were trampled to death in the Arkham breakout.
Circe: On the contrary. I was rescued by my father.
Alice: And did you get those horrific burns before or after Daddy saved you?
[seeing her react]
Alice: Touchy subject?
Circe: Enough about me. It's time to talk about Batwoman.
Alice: Bring me Black Mask. I'll tell him exactly what he wants to hear.

Sophie: Never have I ever had sex on an airplane.
[Mary drinks a shot]
Sophie: Ooh.
Mary: Everyone, relax. It was private. Never have I ever sexted the wrong person. Ryan, drink.
Sophie: Ooh.
Ryan: Wait, what?
[realizing]
Ryan: Ohh! Oh, my bad! My bad.
Mary: Mmm. Yeah. Your bad. So whatever you have going on with Imani, just FYI, consider me an unwilling third.
Sophie: Ooh! Who is Imani?
Ryan: I got one. Never have I ever compromised my values to support a white supremacist organization.
Sophie: Hmm.
Ryan: [handing a shot to her] Drink.

Kate: [seeing Julia texting with Sophie] Is all official Crows business conducted using hamburger emojis?
Julia: It's a cheeseburger. Nah. She wanted to see if I was up for celebrating. You never mentioned she was a burger connoisseur.
Kate: Well, just don't bother trying to convince her that kimchi is the best topping.
Julia: Oh, I've already taken that hill. It's her new favorite.

Kate: Wow. That's a really impressive six-pack.
Luke: Sorry, do I know you?
Kara: [prompting her] No.
Kate: No. But I know you. Well, a-a different... like, a less this version of you. I-I'm Kate Kane. I'm... I'm Bruce's cousin.
Luke: [shutting the door in her face] Yeah, no.

Ryan: [reading a newspaper article about Kate] "Following in her father's footsteps, Kate attended Point Rock Academy." Wait a minute. This is juicy. "Kate was dishonorably discharged weeks before graduation. In her statement, Kate said, 'It's paradoxical to fight on behalf of an institution that sees... my sexual orientation as the enemy.'" Okay, that's kind of badass.

Lois: We have a new problem. It turns out Lex Luthor is alive.
Clark: What?
Lois: According to Iris, Lex is jumping from universe to universe, killing off Supermen.
Clark: If one of them's the Kryptonian Paragon...
Lois: It's game over. We need to find this Earth's Superman before Lex jumps here and offs him.
Clark: [seeing a television screen on the side of a building with breaking news of Superman's death] I think it's a little late for that.
Lois: Disappeared into thin air. Lex killed him and breached out.
Clark: He won't stop until we're all dead.

Mouse: This isn't a shelter, Alice. This is... back to where we started.
Alice: No one's forcing you to stay.
Mouse: I told you that inviting Luke into your obsession would draw out the Bat, and now here we are, freezing, wet, drenched in sewer water.
Alice: And I told you that Luke would bring us the answers that we need, so I suppose we're both right.
Mouse: I was happy, Alice. I was happy. What happened to you? Do you even care that you burned the whole thing down?
Alice: I care about killing the Bat, so go bring me that walking facial gone wrong so he can tell me where to find a little green rock called kryptonite.

Mary: So, I swear this began with me offering water and Band-Aids, and the next thing you know, I'm the Meredith Grey of Sherwood Forest. I'm sorry if stealing from my med school makes me a bad person." "It doesn't. It actually makes you deeper than I thought."
Kate: It doesn't. It actually makes you deeper than I thought."

Ryan: It is amazing how well you behave when you are literally starving.

Alice: [to Tommy] Clearly you are an only child. Otherwise, you would know that our dear siblings are the ones most predisposed to betray us.

Alice: It is amazing what two people with nary a conscience between them can pull off.

Luke: You need to leave, now.
Bruce: Don't be so rude, Luke.
[coming down the stairs in a metal exoskeleton]
Bruce: You'll have to forgive him. We're not used to having guests.
[seeing and recognizing her]
Bruce: Kate.
Kate: Bruce?

Mary: Who the hell is Cluemaster, again?
Sophie: Ever watch "Quiz Bowl" back in the day?
Mary: Uh, is that the "Jeopardy!" rip-off? Not on purpose.
Sophie: The host, Arthur Brown, got fired and went on a murdering spree. Along the way, he laid out clues for law enforcement to figure out where his next kill would be. It stumped everyone for weeks. Called himself Cluemaster.
Ryan: [on her phone] Guys, Arthur Brown escaped Blackgate today.
Mary: Oh, fine. I'll call my dad, tell him we made contact.
Sophie: No, you can't. This is all a part of Cluemaster's game. If we involve the authorities, he's gonna see it as cheating. He's toying with me. Getting his revenge.
Ryan: For what?
Sophie: He thinks he's the most brilliant mind in Gotham. He believes I'm the only person who's ever solved one of his puzzles, and it's driving him crazy.
Ryan: Okay. Well, it's time to solve another one.
Mary: Yeah.
[re-reading the clue]
Mary: "A girl's been poisoned; not you, that's no fun. Can you save her before midnight? I'll give you a clue, hotshot: probably not." Thanks. That's not a clue.
Sophie: It's gotta be. He's very specific about the words he uses.
Ryan: Has he ever called you hotshot before?
Sophie: Not that I know of. Why?
[Ryan picks up the tequila bottle and holds a candle against it]
Sophie: What are you doing?
Ryan: I'm making hot shots.
Mary: [a logo appears in the wax] Okay, that's kind of sexy.

Drunk: [slices his friend's throat] What the hell was that? What did you make me do, you psycho? You're a freaking psycho!
Liam: Mad as a hatter.

Iris: [arriving at the Kent Farm on Earth-167, they see Clark] Is that him?
Lois: It's either him or the buff guy on the paper towel rolls.
Clark: [sees Clark chopping wood] I can do that with one bare hand.

Victor: [a fight bursts in on Capalaci's mistress in the tub] You know, if he really cared, he'd have sprung for the soaking tub for two.
Pretty: [he breaks Capalaci's neck] No!
Victor: Now, Mrs. Capalaci, now there's a woman who spares no expense. I am not cheap, and there are plenty of reasonably-priced hitpersons available to handle a perfidious husband and his sudsy paramour.
[showing her the wine bottle]
Victor: This is a Brute Millesime. Now, I could have just as easily picked up a bottle of the cheap stuff, but Mrs. Capalaci insisted on the finer vintage because she wanted you to know that she was willing to spend more on you than her husband was.

Mary: It takes time to make bad look so good.

Colonel: That sounded like a threat.
Bobby: It is. Let's not turn it into more.

Alice: You're not a hero!
Kate: It doesn't take a hero to know what pure evil looks like.

Kate: My dad was running from his pain, but I was running, too, toward everything that didn't want me. A military academy, a private army, my own father. I spent fifteen years searching for a place I fit, and I think I've finally found it. Some see fear, others hope. I see the freedom to be myself, to play by my own rules.

Sophie: Oh, no.
Luke: What? What happened?
Sophie: It's not just Batwoman's file. They're uploading DNA profiles from dozens of Crows investigations.
Luke: You can't single hers out?
Sophie: That's the problem. They made the file labels numbers for anonymity. There are no names, meaning there's no way to tell them apart. The only way to get Batwoman's would be to corrupt them all.
Luke: How serious are these cases?
Sophie: This being Gotham, we can be damn sure it's not for jaywalking. If we did this, we wouldn't just be protecting Batwoman. We would be protecting rapists and murderers. We can't do it, Luke.
Luke: What about Batwoman, Sophie? The results will be back in a matter of minutes. What are we supposed to do?
Sophie: I might have an idea.

Batwoman: What are you doing?
Colonel: I promised you war. This is what it looks like.

Luke: Ever wonder why the Joker hasn't reared his head in five years? He's not in Arkham, Kate. Both you and Bruce stared into the abyss.

Harbinger: [finding Lex with the Book of Destiny] You're not supposed to have that.
Lex: And man was never meant to fly, but here we are.
[opening the book]
Lex: Goodbye, Superman. All of you.
[closing the book, he opens a breach with an extrapolator and escapes]
Mar: [entering] Lex Luthor has the Book of Destiny.
Harbinger: He's going to use it to kill Supermen. If he kills the Paragon, we're all doomed.
[seeing that he appears unconcerned]
Harbinger: What have you done?
Mar: As I said, everyone has a part to play.

Luke: She's not scheming against us.
Kate: And you'd know that how? Because she pretended to fall in love with you when she was really just a babysitter sent by Bruce Wayne?
Mary: [slipping toward the bar] Okay, it's time to day drink.

Batwoman: Not gonna sweat some freak who uses his skin as a knife sharpener.
Victor: Well, at least it's my skin, because - and I'm only being honest - you don't seem very comfortable in yours. It's like... trying to pass for somebody else.
Batwoman: I didn't design the damn suit.
Victor: Heh. I can tell, because I don't see the Batwoman in you, and maybe that's because I don't see the you in Batwoman.
Batwoman: You want to know what I see?
Victor: Is it a shoulder-fired surface-to-air missile?
Batwoman: [he takes out and aims a mini-RPG] Oh, hell, no!

Batwoman: Sure you got the right address? Because what kind of stone-cold killer shops at Storage & Stuff?
Luke: An actual psychopath.

Magpie: [to Kate] People like you, never notice people like me.

Alice: You took everything from me!
Safiyah: Because I gave you everything. Just like I'll give you your sister.
Alice: That's Kate's necklace.
Safiyah: If I blew up Kate's plane with her inside, how could I possibly have this?

Kate: I need you to promise you won't kill him.
Colonel: Kill who?
Kate: That didn't sound like a promise.

Ryan: [Mary is in danger] You keep trying her. I'll suit up. Oh, and don't kill me, but I made some alterations.
Luke: To what, the suit? It's not yours.
Ryan: I know. It's Kate's, but if I'm gonna be Batwoman, I'm doing it my way.
Luke: But the suit is perfect.
Ryan: Have you seen the damn wig?

Tommy: Hello? I want my Batsuit.
Luke: [in the Batcave] Oh, crap.
Mary: What? What?
Luke: Tommy has the kryptonite.
Ryan: You're not Bruce Wayne.
Tommy: And you're not Batwoman.

Kate: [to Luke Fox; about Bruce Wayne] Guy had the best tech on the planet.

Luke: Did you get the suit wet?
Kate: Okay, so I couldn't find the autodry function.
Luke: Yeah, because that's not a thing.
Kate: $10.8 million suit. Kind of feels like an oversight. Just saying.
