- Clark Kent: Jonny, your uncle has died. This means that the part of his journey where his body is alive is over. His body doesn't breathe anymore, it doesn't play anymore. And, well, we don't get to spend time with him anymore.
- Jonny Kent: Why?
- Clark Kent: Inside a living body, there are many little parts that each do an important job to keep a body healthy and alive. Now if some of these parts stop doing their jobs, the body can stop working and die. And that's what happened to Uncle Conner. But even though we don't get to see or spend time with Conner anymore, because his body is dead, your memories of him will always be alive... in your head and in your heart.
- Lady Shiva: Whom do you think you are fooling, child? I saw it in your eyes. You are still an assassin. In allowing these people to adopt you, you believe you have rejected me, declared yourself an orphan. But you are no orphan. You are Cassandra Wu-San. Come back to your mother when you are ready to admit who you really are!
- Tigress: We are both children of our parents. But at some point, we decide who we want to be. Our parents, our upbringing, none of that has to define us. Aren't I proof DNA doesn't define destiny?
- Ra's al Ghul: Artemis Crock. I understand, even... respect your skepticism. But you have my word, if these two choose to stay, we will strive to help them. And as a friend of yours is fond of saying: Ra's al Ghul is many things... .
- Tigress: But a liar isn't one of them.
