Are you new to this new line of work? Do you have a clever name like "Grifter?" One that sounds hip at first, until you realize it's trying too hard? No? Then I assume you've got some formidable powers. No? Nothing? Too bad. 
Forewarned. I &#@#ing hate clowns.
Sleeping in boxes and eating leftover pizza for the past twelve months has built up a lot of negative energy in me, Apollo. Treating these dirtbags to a little eye-gouging and neck-breaking for a few minutes might be just the kind of cathartic exercise I was looking for.
I suppose. Everything they're saying is true. I just can't help thinking...whether it's this or something else...all it takes is for us to fail once.
I am not a lover. I am not a father. I am not a friend. I am what I was bred to be. And therein lies the problem.
"Draggletail"...and Jenny thinks Midnighter is lame.
You ever put a stunt like that again and, daughter or no, we go a few rounds.
I'm going to take a wild guess-- And say somebody noticed.
Sigh... There's No Place Like Home... ... My Ass.
Mental note: remember to keep mouth shut...
On your knees.
You should have paid more attention to what they say about me. The rumors...? All true. I am the baddest of the bad on this planet and several others you've never been to. Every once in a while I have to prove that to stupid people like yourself.
You've got heart, lady, I'll give you that. Sad to say, that's the one thing Henry Bendix forgot to leave in when he made me.
Each drop is as deadly as every other part of my body, Jack. I beat AIDS in six weeks and a cold never stays in my system for more than a couple of minutes, remember? Un-blocking the opiate receptors in The Doctor's brain should be like Bruce Lee fighting an octogenarian. My anti-bodies can kick the crap out of anything.
Okay you son-of-a-bitch; you've got exactly sixty minutes, just like you asked for. Do your worst.
I love being me.
Even this...even this scenario...I've played it out a million ways...Never thought I'd end up doing this to you.
Oh, you have to be ******* kidding me.
Nasty is how it is these days. Get used to it.
Time's up.
You know what they say, Voodoo... "The journey of a thousand miles... begins with a single ass-kicking."'
Even if they knew I was here, I wouldn't let them help if they wanted to. You've had this coming on general principles since the day I met you. Now you've given me the excuse. I want this pleasure all for myself.
Well, I had my ego beaten out of me by Henry Bendix, the most self-deluded superior bastard to ever walk this world...And you might think yourself the best thing since sliced Daemonite...BUT TO ME, YOU'RE JUST ANOTHER BITCH WITH A THING FOR SWORDS!
I can't decide if i think you're an utter moron, or just the biggest shit-magnet in the entire world.
I had a pissy moment and clocked the Doctor. Let's all get over it, okay?
Another gun punk. Probably sleeps with the lights on. One hand on the gun under your pillow. One hand on your pee-pee. Just another yellow Nancy.
Cyborgs. Well, that explains a lot. Like the unusually strong scent of fuel and oil. What it doesn't explain… is why the hell are cyborgs stealing cats in Suburbia?
Five candidates, Chester. Five candidates had the tech savvy to pull this off. But I needed that extra touch that means so much. Expendability.
All those super-Gods -- Apollo, Jenny Quarx, Engineer, Zealot, Majestic, Spartan -- but it was some grouch in a leather jacket that terrified them. So just get the Hell over yourself, tough guy.
Wonderful. I'm Opie Taylor... and Mayberry's been locked down tighter than a drum. Let's hear it for the politics of fear.
Hey, Ring Boy, or whatever the hell you call yourself...don't come back.
Yes, I'd say it's extremely likely you can expect this sort of behavior again in the very near future. The 21st Century is a bad time to be a bastard, children.
Thought things through pretty thoroughly, didn't you? Figured you'd covered all of the bases? Close, but no cigar. You forgot one thing. I live for this. It's who I am, what I do and I... love... it.
Hi, I'm Midnighter. I already know exactly how this story ends.
Well now. My colleague doesn't like your guns. That means he doesn't like you. But he's polite. A mild-mannered man. That's as angry as he gets. I, on the other hand, hate you.
