- Lex Luthor: Wherever you're taking me won't be safe enough, but I have just the place.
- [Steel and Supergirl fly him to an ordinary-looking shop in a city main street]
- Supergirl: A barbershop?
- Steel: Got to hand it to you, Luthor - nobody would think to look for you here.
- Lex Luthor: The truth is, for all my struggles to make my mark in life, for all I've accomplished, in just a few short generations my name will be forgotten. Even the greatest of us can't compete with time... and death.
- Amazo: Then why do you go on? Why does anyone? Why don't I just destroy you and everything else right now? All it would take is a single thought and...
- Lex Luthor: No! If you do that you won't see the end of it!
- Amazo: The end of what?
- Lex Luthor: The evolutionary process. You of all beings should know something about that.
- Amazo: Yes. Yes, I'm evolving. That's why Professor Ivo made me. These past months I have amassed so much knowledge, and yet... I remain confused... empty. What am I evolving into? What is my purpose? I must know! Tell me!
- Lex Luthor: There's no way to tell. And that's why I stay in the game. My purpose, if you will, is to see where it's all going. And you! You'll live forever. You'll be able to see it all.
- Amazo: Is that my purpose? Simply to be... a witness?
- Lex Luthor: We create our own purpose in life. Now go create yours.
- Inza Nelson: Are you all right?
- Dr. Fate: Fine. Although there was a moment when I actually thought John Stewart was going to attack me.
- Shayera Hol: Oh I don't know about that... His bark's a lot worse than his bite.
- [Amazo comes after Fire after she attacks him]
- Amazo: Your bravery is admirable, but annoying.
- [Amazo grabs Fire and tosses her aside]
- [the Green Lantern Corps want to destroy Amazo because they believe he destroyed Oa, but Dr. Fate steps in their way]
- Dr. Fate: Wait. Please. The android's nature has proved benign before. I believe it will again.
- Green Lantern: Benign? You call destroying Oa benign?
- [the entire Green Lantern Corps aim their power rings at Dr. Fate]
- Green Lantern: Not even you can stand against the Green Lantern Corps.
- [Dr. Fate steps aside]
- Green Lantern: He murders an entire world and it's *over*? Just like that? I don't think so!
- [Lanterns raise their rings]
- Amazo: I did not destroy Oa. I simply moved it to another dimension.
- [Lanterns lower their rings, and look at Amazo]
- Amazo: It was in my way.
- Green Lantern: Then could you move it back?
- Amazo: Done.
- The Atom: The android, why does he hate you so much?
- Lex Luthor: I once took advantage of his naïvety. He's not naïve anymore, and I've stopped taking advantage of the innocent.
- The Atom: Let's hope you'll be more convincing if you have to tell him that.
- Lex Luthor: What do you want from me?
- Amazo: You have everything humans desire. Wealth. Power. Yet you crave more. And you'll do anything to get it. Why? What is your ultimate purpose?
- Lex Luthor: What you're really asking is... what is yours?
- Lex Luthor: [to Amazo] You know, when I heard you were coming I was actually afraid of you. Petrified. But now, when I see your fear, your uncertainty, I just pity you.
- [Amazo glares]
- The Atom: Should have quit while you were ahead.
- [as Amazo approaches Earth]
- Superman: What do you want?
- Amazo: Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?
- Superman: Luthor.
- Amazo: Of course.
- Superman: We're not going to give him up.
- Amazo: He is your enemy. You owe him nothing.
- Superman: Turn-back-*now*.
- Amazo: I have developed far beyond what I was before. You do not want to challenge me.
- Green Lantern: LIGHT HIM UP!
- [the entire League attacks]
- Lex Luthor: The most powerful creature in the universe wants my head, and the League sends its least powerful member to protect me.
- J'onn J'onzz: [talking to Atom] You'll need that cannon very soon.
- Lex Luthor: Then stop interrupting us!
