30 Best Otis Graves Quotes

Mercy: People love you, Ben. You have a rare gift of communication, like Franklin Roosevelt or Mussolini. The people I work with, they don't have such gifts. But I think if we could all work together, we could make this country a much better place.
Ben: [confused] How?
Mercy: We're gonna expose the president as a liar, a fraud, and an alien.
Ben: Read a little 4chan, do ya?
Mercy: I can understand why you wouldn't believe me. But can you imagine if we proved it was true? How that would change the world?
Ben: Well, that's a nice dream, but, um, I don't even know who you are.
Mercy: Mercy Graves. And that's my brother, Otis.
Otis: [rolling down the limo's driver partition] What's up?
Mercy: [offering Ben a folder] And most importantly, this is Fiona. Part-time bartender, full-time alien rights activist. Don't be fooled by the lipstick. Beneath the disguise, she's a monster. One who is organizing other monsters to defend themselves against us. But that's okay. Because some of these creatures have skills we can use. So what do you say? Besties?

Otis: Oh, I missed you, boss.
Lex: [ducking a hug] Now, why couldn't Nxyly have given me that kind of reception?
Otis: Ah, so what if she rejected you? You're Lex Luthor. And your timing couldn't be better. LuthorCorp's returns are through the roof this quarter. Your mom gave me a board seat. And the way you left everything covered, I think I'm the only one who noticed you were gone. My-my point is, you don't need that imp.
Lex: See, the thing about that imp is she's the only thing I want.

Ben: No! No, not here. We do not kill our own.
Mercy: Oh, please. He's a nobody.
Ben: Are you sure? All right. You're from the DEO, right? You got these fine people out.
Jensen: [weakly] Yeah.
Ben: Good. Well, then I'm gonna assume that you can get us all back in.

Mercy: [Otis plays around with a set of nunchucks] That thing hits my hard drives, it'll be family vacation 1996 all over again, only this time the paramedics won't be there to resuscitate you.
Otis: Buzzkill.

Alex: All right, let's try this again. Where does Mercy usually like to go after she's killed a few dozen Secret Service agents?
Otis: That Italian place on 6th Street.
Alex: This isn't a joke.
Otis: Neither are their breadsticks.
Alex: Okay, I get it. Out there, it's your sister that's the boss, right? But in here, I'm the boss, and I can make your life extremely miserable.
Otis: Oh, I know. I have heard stories about the DEO. Poisoned a boatload of Daxamites by lacing the atmosphere with lead? Kablooey!
[he cackles with laughter]
Otis: You're cruel as ice. I bet you even keep that lead dispersal device around as a trophy.
Alex: You know what? Mercy's too smart to tell a plan like that to you.

Ben: When you and your sister approached me, were you working for Lex then?
Otis: [laughing] Of course.
Ben: Luthor wanted me to become Agent...
Otis: Hey! Nobody told you to wear the mask. That was all you. But the rest of it, yeah. I don't see the problem, man. It's a win-win-win. Win-win.
Ben: I lost everything.
Otis: No. You get power, I get money, Lex gets more money.
Ben: Oh, so you're saying that everything that's happened, all of this, you're telling me that it's all about money?
Otis: And world domination.
[Ben laughs nervously]
Otis: It's kind of his thing.
Ben: I get it, no. Supervillain, right. I get it.

Otis: [after Kara reveals her identity as Supergirl] Good stuff, my dude! But we should kill the hostages anyway, right?
Ben: No. No, we keep our word. Send them the location.

Mercy: Supergirl, I know you can hear me, you filthy roach. You need to know you won't stop this.
Supergirl: I'm stopping you both.
Mercy: This isn't one of your battles where it's good versus evil, because we are the good guys fighting to save this country. We'll do whatever it takes to win.
[she turns and shoots Otis]
Otis: Help! Supergirl!
[she flies in and saves him just before his motorcycle crashes; landing nearby, she sees he's wearing a bulletproof vest]
Otis: You really thought my sister would kill me? You think you stopped us tonight, but the fuse was lit. And it's gonna be beautiful.

Lex: Nxyly is the love of my life.
Otis: I'm sorry, what?
Lex: I know. Me? In love? I've always shouldered this world alone. I've-I've never known what it meant to have a true partner. Who could possibly match my wit, my flair, my unfiltered genius? But when I met Nxyly, I knew. She was the one. This was supposed to be so easy. Come to this time, help Nxyly get the Love totem before the Super Friends find it, and then return to the future where my Nxyly would still be alive. I can't save her if she doesn't trust me. And she won't trust me if she doesn't even like me. And if she doesn't like me now, how will she love me in the future?
Otis: I did not understand a word of that. But if she loved you before, why don't you just do that again?
Lex: You big, beautiful idiot. That's exactly what I should do.

James: [restraining Ben from killing Otis] No, no, no, no, Lockwood. We need him to find Lex.
Lena: [as he throws Lockwood aside, his superpowers overstimulate him] James!
Otis: Now you're dead.
[as his suit powers up, Ben rips out the kryptonite core]
Otis: Harsh, bro.

Lex: And how is my darling sister?
Eve: Obsessed. About to have a breakthrough with the Harun-El. But she hasn't produced results yet.
Lex: See that she does.
Otis: So... so do I stay and hang with the commies?
Lex: What? No, you're driving.
Otis: Oh, sure.

Lex: Clearly I underestimated the value of just being myself.
Otis: [disappointed] No kablooey.
Lex: Of course not, you idiot.

Otis: So what's the play?
Lex: Paper tigers.
Otis: [confused] Uh...
Lex: Chinese idiom. Paper tigers threaten, but are destroyed easily. Kaznia wants to move on the U.S. They're crazier than Russia. They wanna bring back the glory days of the Soviet Union.
Eve: So you wanna help them?
Lex: I don't care about their politics. Regimes change. Kings die. But if Kaznia attacks America, and I foil the attack, America will hail me as a hero. To do that, I'm gonna need patsies in both the East and the West. So, Otis, fetch your sister and find me a real American. Someone charismatic, a radical.
Otis: I think I know just the guy, Mr. Luthor. Name's Ben Lockwood, seems smart.
Lex: I'm glad someone does.
Otis: Wait. Where you going?
Lex: Back to Stryker's. Prison's the best alibi the world has yet devised, and I'm about to need a lot of alibis.

Agent: I see the good doctor was aminable.
Mercy: Vose, uh, took some convincing, but yes.
Otis: And then Supergirl showed up.
Agent: [she surreptitiously kicks him] And the EMP?
[Otis shows it to him]
Agent: Let him who desires peace prepare for war.

Lex: I can show her how to master her powers and help you contain her.
Minister: I know you're the man for the job. Lex Luthor; foremost specialist on everything Krypton. You will make her Kaznia's weapon, hmm?
Lex: She'll hate whomever you want. Operant conditioning is a specialty of mine. But you'll need to follow my instructions to the letter. Can't break a Kryptonian, but maybe we can bend one.
Minister: And for this?
Lex: Money, as discussed.
Otis: Not as liquid as he used to be.
Minister: I warn you, you are only a consultant.
Lex: Cross my heart.

Lex: One hour until the Super Idiots find the Love totem for real.
Otis: You gonna crash their party again, rescue Nxyly?
Lex: No. I think this time, I'm just going to have to let the girl come to me. But that does not mean that I am just going to let her fail.
[going into another room, where he has Mitch tied up to a chair]
Lex: Hello, courier minion. I need you to deliver some highly sensitive intel to Nxyly for me. But do not tell her where you got it from.

Agent: [freeing two aliens from custody] Okay. Make it look convincing.
Mercy: It's gonna look real convincing.
Jensen: [she shoots Taylor] I thought we didn't kill humans.
Otis: He wasn't human. He was loose ends.

Otis: Don't worry, Mr. L. I got it all under control.
Supergirl: [watching the surveillance feed] Oh, no. Otis.
Otis: Yes, I am in your cell. And it looks great. Stand in the middle? Yeah, sure.
Supergirl: We've got to get out of here.
Lena: We can't leave all this stuff. We need it to find Lex.
Supergirl: [punching an escape in the wall] There's no time.
Otis: And by "This is what you get", you mean what?
[his kryptonite suit explodes; Supergirl escapes with Lena just in time]

Otis: You know the rules; now that I told ya... I gotta kill you.
[removing his shirt, revealing his Metallo armor]
Otis: Kind of fits. Seeing as I'm the one who picked you. Boring old Ben Lockwood.
Ben: Otis, the, uh... the name...
[grabbing Otis in a headlock]
Ben: ...is Liberty.

Lex: Otis, my good man, forcing a woman into loving you is the underpinning of a toxic relationship.
Otis: But you love toxic relationships.

Lex: She was unimpressed with my heroics. She balked at my surveillance drones. You know, we used to have matching tracking devices. She got them for our anniversary. Said nothing was more romantic than knowing where her Lexie was at all times.
Otis: It's so sweet to see you like this, you know, smitten.
Lex: Smitten? If I ever hear you say that word ever again, I'm going to implant a nano-Sun Eater into your skull.

Otis: Oh, I died once. So I believe in second chances, but if you see a bald guy Any bald guy. You lie on the floor. You pretend you're dead.
[imitates dying gasp]
Otis: Okay?

10: Hey, you smashed my Beebo!
Otis: That's a metaphor for life.
Mercy: Will you stop drawing attention to yourself? We have a job to do.

Ben: I seem to recall you telling me that Supergirl was dead.
Otis: We never said it was official.
Mercy: We'll make her dead. The plan still stands.
Ben: Well, your plan is small.
Mercy: Excuse me?
Ben: You want to show people that aliens are monsters. That's good, but you don't do that by attacking their protectors, the police, the DEO. Yeah, that will make them afraid. That'll make them feel fear, up here, in their mind. What you need to do is make them feel it in their bones.
Mercy: And how do you plan on doing that, exactly?
Ben: You show them that they need to be afraid for their children.

Otis: [peeks near corner] Here's Otis!

Ben: Otis, what's he planning?
Otis: Fun time in Kaznia. Paper tigers, man. Paper tigers.
Lena: [eavesdropping] "Paper tigers". It's a false flag operation. Lex convinces Kaznia to invade the U.S., betrays them...
James: And then he stops it himself.
Lena: Lex becomes the hero he always thought he was.

Supergirl: You know, they say the Graves twins are collector's items. Vintage Lex-era.
Alex: Oh, and I hear that they're worth more if they never come out of the box.
Mercy: The people are angry, Agent Danvers. Their fear is metastisizing.
Otis: And you can't stop it.
Alex: Ugh. You're right. I can't. Changing heart and minds, that's... that's not really my thing.
Supergirl: It's mine.
Alex: And she's really good at it.
