CCH Pounder: Amanda Waller

Quotes 

• Batman : We've got business, Waller. You told me once that you were a patriot. Well it's time to step up. You have to know that the Justice League would never have fired that weapon at you.

  Amanda Waller : Sure you would. It was retaliation for kidnapping your man, the Question.

  Batman : And yet, you weren't home. We've had you under surveillance for months. You don't think we saw you evacuate your offices?

  Amanda Waller : A warning shot then.

  Batman : Don't be dense. Someone took over our fusion cannon by remote control. There are maybe three people on Earth smart enough to pull that off. Two of them were already on the Watchtower. And that leaves...

  Amanda Waller : Luthor. That's where you're trying to lead me, right?

  Batman : You're too smart to trust him.

  Amanda Waller : Who says I do? He provides off-the-books funding for Cadmus. As far as I'm concerned, that's all he's good for.

  Batman : Then you must know he's got his own agenda.

  Amanda Waller : He wants to be President. That's agenda enough for anybody.

  Batman : *Almost* anybody. If I were you, I'd start looking at him, hard.

• Lex Luthor : Did you really think you could take me down all by yourself?

  Amanda Waller : Actually, yeah. But on the off chance I might have been wrong...

  [Luthor turns and sees the Leaguers standing there] 

  Flash : Ta-da.

  Superman : It's over, Lex.

  Lex Luthor : Not until I...

  [Luthor suddenly screams in pain, as pistons extend from his back and his hands turn into tentacles] 

  Lex Luthor : I had hoped to remain hidden until I could install myself into the android...

  [a familiar face appears within Luthor's stomach] 

  Brainiac : ...But you forced my hand.

  Superman : Brainiac!

• Amanda Waller : The mission is scrubbed. Do you hear me? Stand down and await further instructions.

  Galatea : I'm not reading you. Can you repeat?

  Amanda Waller : Don't do this, Galatea. The mission's over. Call off the Ultimen. Do you hear me? Call...

  Galatea : [taking out her earbud and crushing it]  Wrong number.

• Amanda Waller : He played me. I knew he was a snake, and I still let him bite me. He's recently had copies of a lot of our new technology shipped to LexCorp. That's what he's stolen, Professor. Could he have taken control of the Watchtower weapons system with that stuff?

  Professor Emil Hamilton : Theoretically, yes, but that's the least of it. Good Lord, I think I know what he's planning to do.
