- Deadshot: Tell me, Colonel. What's Waller got on you?
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Not a thing. Some of us don't have to be blackmailed into serving their country.
- Deadshot: I thought he was gonna wet himself when you mentioned the Martian. He couldn't let us through fast enough.
- Plastique: That's nothin'. I almost lost it when this bonehead set off the metal-detector.
- Captain Boomerang: Seventy-five cents is seventy-five cents. I'm supposed to throw away money?
- Deadshot: Uh, excuse me, Mr. Lantern? For six weeks now, my wife's been after me for Hawkgirl's autograph. You wouldn't know where she's at today, would you?
- John Stewart: [stonily] Haven't seen her.
- Deadshot: Okay. Thanks anyway.
- [Green Lantern leaves the elevator]
- Plastique: You are a veeery bad boy.
- Deadshot: Tell me you didn't love it.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: We're in.
- J'onn J'onzz: [Flying down] Ask yourselves, is being in here with me what you truly desire?
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Get out of the way, Martian.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Okay, Plastique, you're setting the charge, and Superman walks in the room.
- Plastique: You said he wouldn't be there!
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Last-minute change in the duty roster. Superman's got the drop on you, what do you do?
- Plastique: Before or after I change my shorts?
- John Stewart: How did you know Vance was the inside man?
- J'onn J'onzz: He was the only one on the tower whose mind I couldn't read. Cadmus must have supplied him with a sophisticated method of masking his thoughts.
- John Stewart: So... what do we do with him now?
- J'onn J'onzz: I'd like to go in there and wipe clean the last two years of his memory.
- John Stewart: Woah! That's a little harsh, don't ya think?
- J'onn J'onzz: He's a liability.
- John Stewart: I'm sure he's already spilled everything he knows to Cadmus.
- J'onn J'onzz: Don't you understand? We can't trust him!
- John Stewart: J'onn... we can't trust anyone now.
- [driving away from the prison, Deadshot considers jumping from the car]
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Before you do something stupid, tell me: how did you enjoy your last meal?
- Deadshot: Not bad. The asparagus was a little overcooked, but the lobster was perfect.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: It was laced with explosive nanites.
- Deadshot: Excuse me?
- Rick Flagg Jr.: That's right. Any escape attempt, and... well, you're gonna look kind of funny trying to run away with no head.
- Plastique: [Running to the Transport Pad with Task Force X] Oops.
- Vigilante: [Drawing his guns] I reckon you boys have a good explanation for what you're doing on "A" Deck.
- Shining Knight: 'Tis more likely that these Varlets are the source of our woes.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Can't slip anything past you. Take 'em down.
- [the Annihilator attacks]
- Deadshot: [as his handcuffs are unlocked] What if I don't want to go with him?
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Then you can go and take your seat, tough guy.
- Amanda Waller: You really think we can do something with this?
- Tala: An invulnerable juggernaut forged by the gods? Oh yes, Ms. Waller, most definitely.
- Deadshot: [addressing Colonel Flag] And you? Going in unarmed?
- Captain Boomerang: This one don't need no weapons.
- Captain Boomerang: Ah, so we'll make our way there, pretty as you please, then maybe a picnic lunch and the Justice League will give us a ride home. We may as well be storming Heaven's Gate itself.
- The Clock King: Unlike Heaven, this tower has a duty roster. One I've studied thoroughly. I've scheduled your visit for when they're at their weakest.
- Captain Boomerang: Define "weakest", please.
- Deadshot: What do you want, exactly?
- Rick Flagg Jr.: You're gonna do something patriotic, convict.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Groovy. Who do I kill?
- Deadshot: An expert with nothing to lose... this must be some nasty business.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: A little B-and-E, a little grand larceny. No big deal.
- Deadshot: Right. What's the target?
- [Flagg hands him a dossier]
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Justice League headquarters.
- Deadshot: Always did want to die for my country.
- Priest: There's still time, Mr. Lawton. Are you sure you don't want me to pray for you?
- Deadshot: I'm sure. But if it comforts you, padre, by all means.
- [he's led into the electric chair chamber]
- Deadshot: Huh. My chair's already taken. Guess we'll have to come back tomorrow.
- Warden: Who are you? What is this? You can't just come in here and...
- [he's handed a piece of paper and gives it a once-over]
- Warden: Release the prisoner.
- Prison Guard: But...
- Warden: Release him!
- Deadshot: [his restraints are removed] What if I don't want to go with him?
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Then you can go and take your seat, tough guy.
- Captain Boomerang: It's a blooming fortress crawling with superheroes. Even if we do get in, what chance do we have?
- Deadshot: That's what I'd like to know.
- Plastique: Yeah, you got that right.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Listen to me; we've got one advantage: this tower's so big and there's so much staff on it, no one's going to notice us. Unless one of you does something stupid. Once we're aboard, Plastique and Deadshot will make their way down to the Watchtower reactor, where Plastique will create a diversion.
- Plastique: Blow up a nuclear reactor? Sweet.
- Deadshot: Do I just watch, or do I get to join in?
- Rick Flagg Jr.: You're there to provide cover, and that's all.
- The Clock King: Just three major obstacles. First, Captain Atom. His abilities include flight, super-strength, and absorption of radioactivity. Green Lantern; his power ring enables him to create objects by thinking about them. Then there's J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter.
- Plastique: What about him?
- The Clock King: Super-strength, flight.
- Deadshot: And he's a shape-shifter, and he can read minds. I've run into him before.
- Captain Boomerang: Heh! The chair's startin' to look better every minute.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Floyd Lawton, AKA Deadshot, meet Task Force X. George Harkness, AKA Captain Boomerang, expert thief and inventor. Temple Fugate, the Clock King; planner, tactician, expert with locks and systems infiltration. And Bette Sans Souci, current alias Plastique, explosives expert.
- Deadshot: Mmm. I know. I've seen the pictures.
- Plastique: And that's all you're gonna see, killer.
- Rick Flagg Jr.: No unnecessary killing.
- Captain Boomerang: Oh, come on!
- Rick Flagg Jr.: You kill someone, they find the body, sound the alarm, and we're trapped.
- The Clock King: Or you take the time to hide the body so they don't find it. Time we don't have to waste.
- Deadshot: [yawning] Speaking of the time...
- Rick Flagg Jr.: Plenty of time to sleep in the grave, which is where we could all wind up if just one of us misses his mark.
