Quotes 

• [Parasite falls backward, Sinestro catches him] 

  Killer Frost : Your turn.

  Giganta : I don't think this is such a good idea...

  Killer Frost : Don't be such a girl.

  Giganta : But, I mean, I'm a little heavier than I look...

  [cut to Shade and Grodd, watching] 

  The Shade : Trying to get them to trust each other, huh?

  Grodd : Not the easiest thing for loners, sociopaths, and psychos.

  [crash, rumble] 

  Giganta : Ow.

• The Shade : Now I get it. You're trying to set up another Injustice gang, aren't you?

  Giganta : We call it a society. A secret society.

  The Shade : Call it what you want. It won't work. I know, I've tried... twice.

  Grodd : What's that old saying? The third time's the charm.

• The Shade : [robbing a vault]  Tiny chip, big money.

• Grodd : Will you do the honors, my dear?

  Parasite : Hey, can't you see the label? This stuff's dangerous.

  Grodd : That's exactly what I'm counting on. Go ahead.

  The Shade : [Giganta removes the lids and dumps the canisters over]  Mud?

  Grodd : Living mud.

  [it takes a solid form] 

  Grodd : Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the final member of our secret society: Clayface.

• Giganta : Need a ride, handsome?

  The Shade : Don't mind if I do.

  Giganta : [he gets in the passenger seat]  The name's Giganta.

  The Shade : Appropriate.

  Giganta : It's not a problem for you, is it?

  The Shade : Quite the opposite.

• Grodd : [watching the others train]  Imagine the childhoods they must have had.

  The Shade : Imagine what's gonna happen when someone makes them a better offer.

  Grodd : None of us is in this for the money. Sinestro's sworn a blood oath against all Green Lanterns. Parasite simply hates Superman. Giganta's totally devoted to me.

  The Shade : What about the other one?

  Grodd : Killer Frost? She just likes to kill.

  The Shade : And me? I suppose you got that figured out, too.

  Grodd : You're a master criminal, Shade. But you could be a master of the world.

  The Shade : I've tried. I'll settle for where I am now.

  Grodd : How are you going to feel in ten years, when you're still being chased around warehouses and rooftops, joints aching, lungs burning? This is a chance to rid ourselves of the League once and for all, to see how far we can go when there's no one in our way.

  The Shade : The League's just so powerful. How do you stop them?

  Grodd : [turning on a surveillance video of the League]  By watching lots of television.
