- Princess Diana: How do you stop it?
- Hephaestus: You knew to ask! I do leave a small weakness in each of my creations. An Achilles' heel, if you will. It's so no one ever gets too powerful. You know what they say: "Only Zeus is perfect."
- Princess Diana: And what's the Annihilator's weakness?
- Hephaestus: Diana! You wouldn't want me to go around telling people the weakness in your armor, would you?
- [when Wonder Woman arrives]
- Hephaestus: I made that armor for your mother. Did she ever thank me? No! I love your mom, but she didn't have your build.
- Hawk: Why not just let them obliterate each other? If people can't control their own country, they don't deserve to have one.
- Dove: Way to oversimplify. These folks live in poverty. And when you have so little, it's easy to be swayed into blaming your neighbor. Almost all aggression can be cured with education.
- Hawk: Yeah? Then how come some of the best-educated guys in the world work at the Pentagon?
- Princess Diana: I try to take a day off, try to have a semblance of a normal life, but you had to pick *today* to rob a bank!
- Nardoc: We won, Mr. Sera. The animals attacked, and we ran them out of town.
- Ares: I didn't give you the Annihilator so you could run your enemies out of town; I gave you the Annihilator so you could ANNIHALATE them!
- Nardoc: Forgive the insult, sir, but you think like a South Kaznian. They want to destroy us all. But my brothers and I only wish to keep our land. Perhaps I could take their camp, but the price would be too great. Shall I win a country, but massacre my people?
- Ares: [exasperated] Yes, you idiot! *I* think like a South Kaznian? Has it even entered your skull that THEY think like South Kaznians? And you'd better start thinking that way too, if you want there to be a Northerner left in this rat-infested dirt heap you call a country! All any of you mortals are good for is to slaughter one another! To fight and fight until the bones of your enemies are strewn across the battlefield, only to rise again in the next generation like a well-tended crop! That's what the Annihilator is for! But noooooo, you're using it to play tag!
- Don Hall: This is ridiculous! Just because I disagree with you, doesn't make me unpatriotic!
- Angry Patron: No. But you being a bleeding heart punk makes you unpatriotic.
- Hank Hall: Actually, I got to agree with him on that one.
- Ares: I'll be back, and sooner than you think. Wherever there's prejudice, ignorance, inequality, I'll be there.
- Princess Diana: And I'll be waiting.
- Ares: You said, "come back Tuesday," it's Tuesday. I want my suit!
- Hephaestus: Patience, brother. You know how much I care about the details.
- Ares: It doesn't have to be pretty, Hephaestus. Where it's going, things aren't supposed to be pretty!
- Hephaestus: Present company excluded, of course.
- Hawk: [Dove manages to stop the Annihilator] Anybody wanna give me a clue what just happened?
- Wonder Woman: Sometimes it takes more strength not to fight.
