- Adam Strange: He's no where to be found and he's not picking up his comm. I'm telling you, something is seriously wrong.
- Kem: Yes, Lyta has been scheduled for execution. It does not get more wrong for Seg. He will show up eventually.
- Adam Strange: Great, so until then I'm supposed to sit around with my thumb up my ass?
- Kem: Yeah, if-if you think that's gonna help. Be my guest.
- Adam Strange: It'll probably be a lot more help than you've been.
- Kem: Why would you put your thumb...
- Daron-Vex: Do you have any idea what you've done?
- Nyssa-Vex: I'm trying to salvage this mess.
- Daron-Vex: By going behind my back? To the Primus of the Sagitari? What makes you think Jayna is ready to join us and go against everything that House Zod stands for?
- Nyssa-Vex: The fact that most parents love their children.
- Daron-Vex: And if she loves her daughter so much, what's to stop her from going to the Voice of Rao herself and bargaining for a better deal? You risked everything, Nyssa.
- Nyssa-Vex: We need the Sagitari. She's a Zod. If we don't stop Lyta's execution, we lose Jayna. And then we lose the chance to make a better Kandor.
- Daron-Vex: A better Kandor? There's something else clouding your judgment. Or someone else. Seg, perhaps?
- Nyssa-Vex: I did what I did so we can prevail against a tyrant.
- Daron-Vex: Tyrants with power and a temper. If Jayna agrees, and joins us to spare her daughter, how do I explain to the Voice that he won't get the blood he's asked for? And if she refuses, and tells the Voice of our plans before we can put them in motion, then the blood he asks for will be ours.
- Raika: I can't say anymore about this.
- Seg-El: What exactly did my family do?
- Raika: I'm sorry, but all I can say is our duty to protect this place from your family that's been passed from generation to generation.
- Seg-El: Well, all I can say is that my family means you no harm. And I'm leaving.
- Raika: They won't let you leave here alive.
- Seg-El: Then help me. Help me, like I helped you.
- Raika: No. You will tell others about this place.
- Seg-El: You're worried about others? Do know what happens if I don't go home? Others come looking for me. Els. That's right. That's right, yeah. All my brothers, and all my cousins, and all my uncles. Pretty soon this place will be crawling with Els. And think about all the destruction they can do.
