- Superman: [after narrowly escaping being swallowed by a giant crocodile] This place is starting to get on my nerves.
- Green Lantern: Looks like a refueling port.
- Hawkgirl: [in his forcefield] If you say so, Sherlock. What are you waiting for? Let's check it out.
- Green Lantern: Who's driving here anyway?
- J'onn J'onzz: [analyzing an asteroid] 32% iron oxide. 21% carbon. 19% silicon.
- Superman: Are you getting this, Hawkgirl?
- Hawkgirl: [at the Watchtower] As if you were in the next room. I'm sending your data through backup analysis even as we speak. Three and a half miles across. Can you imagine what would happen if it hit the Earth?
- Superman: That's not going to happen.
- [he and J'onn set up devices on the surface and turn them on]
- Superman: Ready for the fireworks?
- J'onn J'onzz: Ready.
- Hawkgirl: [getting an alert] Oh, no. Superman, the computer says there are hydrogen pockets inside that asteroid. Get away from there before it...
- [the asteroid explodes]
- Hawkgirl: J'onn, Superman? Come in!
- Draaga: Pathetic. The whole lot of you. Not a real warrior in the bunch. And you, the Kryptonian, you're the biggest disappointment of all.
- [he spits in Superman's face; once he's gone, Superman breaks free of his restrains]
- Gladiator: Why didn't you do that when Draaga was here?
- Superman: It's called turning the other cheek.
- Green Lantern: How could this happen? You were supposed to be monitoring the situation.
- Hawkgirl: Listen, I followed the protocols.
- Green Lantern: And now two of our men are out there, injured, maybe worse.
- Hawkgirl: Do you want to stand here pointing fingers, or do you want to do something about it?
- Green Lantern: [activating his power ring] Let's go.
- Superman: [his means of escape is blocked] It's some kind of force field. Go!
- J'onn J'onzz: I won't leave without you.
- Superman: You've got a better chance of helping me out there, now go!
- Mongul: A stunning development. The Kryptonian is victorious. Well, what say you?
- Alien: [jeers from the crowd] Give the bum what he deserves!
- Mongul: It's unanimous, then. The people have spoken. Finish him.
- Superman: I refuse.
- Mongul: You can't refuse. I order you to finish him.
- Superman: No.
- Draaga: Do it. Give me... an honorable death here... on the battlefield.
- Superman: Sorry, but I can't.
- Draaga: How can I live with this shame? Don't make me beg you. Finish me.
- Mongul: Do as he says. This is your last chance.
- Superman: [drones surround him, ready to fire] No.
- Mongul: Then destroy him!
- Mongul: Today, Draaga meets his greatest foe: the man from Krypton.
- [Superman is lifted up on a platform, freed from his restraints, and handed an ax]
- Mongul: Are you ready, Kryptonian?
- Superman: I won't fight for your amusement, Mongul.
- [he breaks the ax over his knee]
- Mongul: A bold move. But let's see how long his idealism lasts on... War World!
- Alien: Move it! You don't want to miss the fight.
- J'onn J'onzz: So many spectators. Don't they have families or jobs to tend to?
- Alien: Are you kidding? There's no jobs. I haven't worked in years!
- J'onn J'onzz: That's dreadful.
- Alien: You wanna talk dreadful, you shoulda seen the last games. But I hear this Kryptonian is a real killer.
- Green Lantern: I've got more important things to do than saving your butt.
- Hawkgirl: Those three knew something, I'm sure of it. And you're letting them get away!
- Green Lantern: [grabbing one with his power ring] Wanna bet?
- Chancellor: Our nation's food ration is being cut another 15%. And then there are the medical shortages, the power blackouts...
- Mongul: Why do you persist in bothering me with these petty details?
- Chancellor: Petty? But, sire, if this continues, think of the consequences. Why, people are already starting to talk about...
- Mongul: Rebellion? There's not gonna be any rebellion. Not if I can keep giving them fights, good ones. Enough to take their minds off their troubles.
- [two drones drag Superman in]
- Mongul: What's this?
- Chancellor: The Kryptonian. He tried to escape.
- Mongul: A pity. I was hoping to build him up with some preliminary matches, but now I'll have to make an example of him. Give him to Draaga.
- Mongul: Captain, I want you to hear something.
- [playing the sound of boos from the War World crowd]
- Mongul: They're expressing their disappointment at the last specimen you brought.
- Captain: Great Mongul, please.
- Mongul: A dozen creatures you've found, and not one of them has been able to last more than two minutes with Draaga.
- Captain: I promise, the next one will be different. He's a powerful Kryptonian, guaranteed to give Draaga the fight of his life.
- Mongul: He'd better.
