Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Shayera Hol : [to Batman]  Tell me about my son.

• John Stewart : Shayera, I haven't been fair to Mari, and I haven't been fair to you. I couldn't figure out how to tell you this, or... even if I should.

  Shayera Hol : What?

  John Stewart : When Batman and I went to the future, we met a man named Warhawk. He's our son. Yours and mine.

  Shayera Hol : ...Our son?

  John Stewart : That's why I've been so awkward around you lately. I've been trying to figure out what to do with this knowledge. What is means for our future.

  Shayera Hol : Well, what else could it mean?

  John Stewart : I won't be destiny's puppet. Whatever the future holds, we'll make those choices ourselves.

  Shayera Hol : Don't say you don't love me.

  John Stewart : I'll never say that. But, you need to know... I'm staying with Mari.

• Hawkman : [about Hawkgirl's mace]  You always were good with that thing.

  Shayera Hol : Just hit him!

  Hawkman : Right!

• Mari McCabe : You might want to ease up there. Most guys don't go for the ripped, bulky look.

  Shayera Hol : Just trying to maintain my girlish figure.

  [looks at her chest] 

  Shayera Hol : My girlish, girlish figure. And why does it always have to be about the guys, anyway?

  Mari McCabe : Honey, it's always about the guys. And since I'll be away on that photo shot for a week...

  Shayera Hol : Here we go...

  Mari McCabe : Well, I'm surprised you haven't made your move before now.

  Shayera Hol : I'm still trying to figure out the proper Earth protocol for this situation. It's not like I can just assassinate you in your asleep, or poison your water... I miss Thanagar.

  Mari McCabe : I'm just saying. You think you've got a shot, take it. I'm not worried.

• Shayera Hol : And he said I was next?

  Mari McCabe : Unless you know any other "Thanagarian harpies"?

• Chay-Ara Hol : Katar's my husband.

  Bashari : And my best friend.

  Chay-Ara Hol : I'd leave him for you.

  Bashari : I'd never ask. I'm afraid that you would. Katar needs you.

  Chay-Ara Hol : And I need you.

• Mari McCabe : Shayera, he got John.

  Shayera Hol : What? Who...? Vixen, what's happened?

  Mari McCabe : The Shadow Thief attacked us. He took John.

• Shadow Thief : Of course, you recognize the Absorbacron. Despite your best efforts to bury me alive, I managed to retrieve it.

  Green Lantern : Where's Vixen?

  Shadow Thief : Out of the way. She's not part of this.

  Shayera Hol : That machine is Thanagarian technology. It's a telepathic database more complex than anything on Earth, and it's broken.

  Hawkman : She might be right. When I touched it before, the feedback...

  Shadow Thief : Hush now. Watch and learn.

• Shayera Hol : Are you all right?

  Green Lantern : [conjuring a splint to brace his broken wrist]  Hurts like crazy. But I'll live. Where's Mari?

  Shayera Hol : Don't know.

  Green Lantern : I've gotta find her. Who knows what that psycho might have...

  Shayera Hol : We'll take care of shadow guy. Go.

• Vixen : I figure since your boyfriend here...

  Shayera Hol : Not my boyfriend.

  Vixen : Since Hawkman's tangled with this guy before, he might be able to give us a lead.

  [approaching the Midway City Museum, they see a door ajar despite the building being closed] 

  Vixen : What's wrong with this picture?

• Green Lantern : I just ran into your stalker boyfriend, Carter Hall.

  Shayera Hol : He's not my boyfriend.

  Green Lantern : And he's still talking about you.

  Shayera Hol : Yeah, the whole reincarnated lovers from Ancient Egypt bit. Carter's just a little confused.

  Green Lantern : He's an obsessed fanboy with wings and an ax.

  Shayera Hol : If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were...

  Green Lantern : Concerned. The guy's a serious creep.

  Shayera Hol : I'm a big girl, John. You know I can take care of myself.

  Green Lantern : Yeah, I just... just wanted to give you a heads-up. This isn't about us, Shayera.

• Katar Hol : What troubles you, Chay-Ara?

  Chay-Ara Hol : Why ask what you already know? I want to bear your child, Katar.

  Katar Hol : I don't want to have this conversation again. Why the hurry? You're a young woman. There's plenty of time.

  Chay-Ara Hol : 30 or 40 years at most. I'm not a girl anymore.

  Katar Hol : You look the same as you did the day I met you. When my work is complete, after I've tamed this savage continent...

  Chay-Ara Hol : You'll set out to conquer the rest of the world.

  Katar Hol : It's my duty. We owe these people the peace and stability that comes from Thanangarian rule.

  Chay-Ara Hol : I'm not arguing that. But you also have a duty to continue your bloodline. Or are you so tired of me that you don't even...

  Katar Hol : I love you, Chay-Ara Hol. Nothing will ever change that. It's just that right now, I need to concentrate on...

  Bashari : [riding in on a chariot to cheers]  Hail, King Katar. Hail, Queen Chay-Ara.

  Katar Hol : [flying down to him]  Bashari. No need to stand on ceremony, my friend.

• Katar Hol : What news do you bring?

  Bashari : Victory! The land of Kahndaq has been freed from Ahk-ton's rule and placed under your benevolent protection. As tribute, Teth-Adam sends 100 of the finest stallions on Earth.

  Chay-Ara Hol : My husband and I travel on the winds, General. What good are horses to us?

  Bashari : I'll show you.

  Chay-Ara Hol : [cut to them riding]  I begin to see the worth of these beasts, Bashari.

  Bashari : I thought you might, my lady, with the right company.

  Chay-Ara Hol : [laughing]  If you desire my company, you'll have to ride faster.

  [urging her horse forward] 

  Chay-Ara Hol : Hyah!

• Shayera Hol : You're Hath-Set. You're the one who poisoned us. I mean...

  Shadow Thief : No, my Queen. I think Hawkman knows who I am. I'm your darkest thoughts, your unspeakable desires. I'm you, Katar Hol.

  Hawkman : No.

  Shadow Thief : When you first touched the Absorbacron, you freed me... to do everything you wanted. You wanted the secrets of Thanagarian technology, I found them for you. You wanted to be a hero, I became an arch-villain for you to vanquish. You want this woman...

  [grabbing Shayera's head] 

  Shadow Thief : I give her to you.

  [opening Carter's restraints and pointing at GL] 

  Shadow Thief : He's the only thing standing between you and a love that spans 8,000 years.

  [giving Carter his ax] 

  Shadow Thief : End it, Katar Hol. Take what you want.
