- Wally West: So Jeeves, do you come with the place, or does Master Bruce just rent you for parties?
- Alfred Pennyworth: I've been in service here since the master was in diapers.
- Wally West: Now there's a picture.
- [inside the Batcave]
- Wally West: Hey, that's a giant dinosaur!
- Alfred Pennyworth: And I thought Batman was the detective.
- [the League is forced to travel in street clothes to avoid detection by the Thangarians]
- The Flash: Hold on a second here. What about the whole secret identity thing? I mean, I trust you guys, but I'm not sure I'm ready to...
- Batman: [points to Flash] Wally West.
- [points to Superman]
- Batman: Clark Kent.
- [removes his mask]
- Batman: Bruce Wayne.
- The Flash: Show-off.
- [to hide from a Thanagarian patrol, Diana grabs Bruce and plants a long, deep kiss on him]
- Princess Diana: [as they break apart] Sorry.
- Bruce Wayne: [smiles] Don't be.
- [Shayera tries to convince Hro to relocate the hyperspace generator]
- Hro Talak: Have you forgotten why we fight? Of what horrors the Gordanians are capable of? Have you forgotten my long years rotting in their stinking prison camps?
- [takes off his headdress, revealing the scars on the side of his face]
- Hro Talak: I haven't!
- Hawkgirl: I have forgotten nothing. But this war is no excuse to...
- Hro Talak: I am your commander! You will not question me!
- Hawkgirl: I don't even know you anymore.
- Hawkgirl: I didn't come to fight. I came to help.
- Wally West: Hawkpeople all over the planet, martial law, us getting chased like dogs - I don't think we can take much more of your help.
- Hawkgirl: The situation is worse than you think. They're building a hyperspace bypass. When it's activated, it'll destroy the planet and everything on it.
- [giving Bruce a Thanagarian hard drive]
- Hawkgirl: Here. This has all the information on the project. Believe me, I didn't know the magnitude of Talak's plans.
- Bruce Wayne: We'll check it. There's the door.
- Hawkgirl: [the others follow him out] Aren't you going to turn your back on me, too?
- John Stewart: Last time I let my guard down, you sucker-punched me.
- Hawkgirl: It wasn't personal.
- John Stewart: Keep telling yourself that.
- Hawkgirl: [returning his power ring] I did what I thought was right then, and that's what I'm doing now.
- Batman: For the time being, we're gonna have to go underground.
- Wonder Woman: How exactly do we hide when the entire planet is looking for us?
- J'onn J'onzz: They're looking for the Justice League. Without our costumes, we are merely ordinary citizens.
- Hawkgirl: Humans working as slaves?
- Hro Talak: Unfortunate, but necessary. We are on an unforgiving schedule, and if we're going to finish the hyperspace bypass in time...
- Hawkgirl: Bypass? I thought we were building a force shield.
- Hro Talak: That was merely the cover story.
- Hawkgirl: So when were you going to tell me your real plans? Or didn't you think you could trust me?
- Hro Talak: For decades, the Gordanian homeworld has been protected by an impregnable defensive line, but this chain of hyperspace bypasses will allow our armadas to jump behind their defenses and make a direct assault on the heart of their empire. Earth is the last link in that chain. Once the chain is completed, we can attack and wipe out the Gordanian threat forever.
- Hawkgirl: But if we open a hole in hyperspace, it will destroy this entire planet.
- Hro Talak: Sadly, yes. For Thanagar to live, Earth must die.
- Hro Talak: This is Commander Hro Talak. In the name of the Thanagarian authority, we claim your planet as a garrison and have instituted martial law. Your world faces a crisis from which only we can protect you. But to be effective, we must be free to act and move without interference. Cooperate and our stay will be brief and without incident. Stand against us and our wrath will be unforgiving.
- Wonder Woman: How am I supposed to feed myself tied up like this?
- Thanagarian Soldier: Not my problem.
- Wonder Woman: It will be if Hawkgirl finds out you disobeyed her orders.
- Thanagarian Soldier: I know my duties.
- Wonder Woman: Then I guess you'll have to feed me. Don't be afraid, little man. I won't bite.
- Thanagarian Soldier: [drawing a dagger] Mind your tongue, woman. I fear nothing.
- [picking up a morsel of food]
- Thanagarian Soldier: Eat.
- [she bites his hand and, after disarming and knocking him out, manages to free herself]
- Thanagarian Soldier: Security breach in cell block 7.
- Batman: [she deflects blaster bolts with her wristbands] Diana! The force field!
- Wonder Woman: [freeing him] Free the others.
- Lt. Kragger: We've lost track of the Justice League. They've blended with the populace. It will be difficult to find them, unless, of course, you know where they are.
- Hawkgirl: [grabbing him by the throat] You're a long way from home. If you ever want to see it again, then I suggest you tread lightly.
- Lt. Kragger: [to Talak, as she leaves] She never really answered the question, did she?
- Wally West: Look, G.L., Hawkgirl fooled us all. You... you can't blame yourself for what's happened.
- John Stewart: I don't. I blame her for what's happened to Earth. I only blame myself for ever caring about her.
- J'onn J'onzz: We were just speculating why the Thanagarians are really here.
- Clark Kent: Obviously, not to protect us.
- Princess Diana: But if the Gordanians aren't actually anywhere near Earth, why do they need to build that force field?
- Bruce Wayne: If it is a force field.
- John Stewart: Then what is it?
- Hawkgirl: I can tell you.
- Clark Kent: You've got a lot of nerve showing up here.
- Princess Diana: We should thank you. It saves us having to hunt you down.
- Bruce Wayne: [seeing Thanagarian patrols harassing two civilians] Diana, no.
- Princess Diana: You would stand here and do nothing?
- Bruce Wayne: We can't risk a confrontation here.
- Rooftop Punk: Hey, birdheads, go back to where you came from! Get off our planet!
- [as the patrols fire their weapons, Diana races in to save the civilians]
- Bruce Wayne: [escaping from more patrols] So much for blending in.
- John Stewart: [trying to evade Thanagarian patrols] We need to split up. They'll be looking for six of us, not pairs.
- J'onn J'onzz: A rendezvous point?
- Bruce Wayne: We're about 30 miles from Gotham City. We can regroup at my house there. But try and keep a low profile.
- Wally West: [sarcastic] 30 miles through Hawk-infested territory. No problem.
- Thanagarian Soldier: Commander, there's been a security breach aboard the prison shuttle. The Justice League has escaped.
- Lt. Kragger: How did it happen?
- Hawkgirl: They're the Justice League, that's how it happened.
- Hro Talak: Take a strike squad back to the surface. Search every house, every building, look under every rock. Find them!
- Lt. Kragger: By your command.
- John Stewart: That x-ray vision working yet?
- Superman: Just enough to see Hawksoldiers still patrolling the skies.
- J'onn J'onzz: They'll have the whole city covered by now.
- The Flash: Who knows? Maybe they'll get tired and go home.
- [the others turn to stare]
- The Flash: Yeah, I know, but a little optimism at a time like this couldn't hurt.
- Thanagarian Soldier: This is the voice of the Thanagarian occupational authority. Your so-called Justice League is in violation of our martial law. They are to be considered an enemy and dealt with on sight. Any person found aiding or harboring them will be summarily punished.
- The Flash: Okay. So much for optimism.
- Clark Kent: [distracting Thanagarian patrols so John and Wally can slip by] Clark Kent of the Daily Planet. We understand the Thanagarians are doing construction at a restricted location in the Gobi Desert. Can you confirm this?
- Thanagarian Soldier: [J'onn, pretending to be a photographer, takes pictures of him] Get that contraption away!
- Clark Kent: And just exactly how long do you plan on enforcing martial law?
- Thanagarian Soldier: No more questions. Go away, immediately!
- Clark Kent: Can I quote you?
- Lt. Kragger: Look at them. Weak, useless, broken. It would have been difficult to storm their Watchtower without the access codes you provided. Also, your analysis of their weaknesses was most helpful.
- [indicating John in his containment cell]
- Lt. Kragger: That one will be the least trouble of all.
- [taking out his power ring]
- Lt. Kragger: He's nothing without his toy.
- Hawkgirl: Don't underestimate them.
- Lt. Kragger: You're right.
- [taking out a blaster]
- Lt. Kragger: Perhaps we should make sure they are not a threat.
- [offering the weapon to her]
- Lt. Kragger: Better still, perhaps you should.
- Hawkgirl: The point of this occupation is to keep peace while we finish our mission. If we kill Earth's heroes, the natives will revolt. Our best plan is to build the shield, then go.
- [giving the blaster back and leaving]
- Hawkgirl: Make sure they're well taken care of.
- Paran Dul: The construction proceeds as scheduled. We have added humans to the workforce.
- Hro Talak: Are they of any use?
- Paran Dul: They have no technical expertise to speak of, but they can lift and carry as well as any animal. We should complete the project by the target date.
- Hro Talak: Be aware that the Justice League has escaped. Stand ready for an attack.
- Paran Dul: Let them come. It would only be suicide.
- Hro Talak: Keep me informed of your progress. And, Paran, let nothing delay you.
- Paran Dul: By your command.
