- Sapphire Stagg: I see why he always looked up to you.
- Green Lantern: To me? He was the one who had it made.
- Sapphire Stagg: No, I've seen him watching you on the news. The way you're always helping people, I think he'd trade places with you in a second.
- Hawkgirl: It's totally mindless.
- J'onn J'onzz: No, I sensed a mind within the creature: incomplete, irrational, and driven only by base desires.
- Metamorpho: Maybe the computer feedback from the accident transferred part of Stagg's mind into it.
- Hawkgirl: [flings her mace at the monster only to have it swallow it and get shocked before emitting it out of its mouth again with bits of slime] *That* didn't work.
- Metamorpho: I see you've met Stagg's synthoid.
- Green Lantern: Learn anything?
- Hawkgirl: Yeah, don't hit it with an energy-mace.
- Metamorpho: You can't get rid of me that easily.
- Sapphire Stagg: [good-naturedly] C'mere, you big ape.
- [last lines]
- Hawkgirl: Still dreaming about the road not taken?
- Green Lantern: [smiling] What do you think?
- Snapper Carr: The gigantic creature has defeated the Justice League. Now it's continuing its rampage and heading relentlessly uptown. Residents are advised to evacuate.
- Sapphire Stagg: Oh, Rex, what's happened to you?
- Synthoid: [appearing outside her window] Sapphire.
- Sapphire Stagg: Rexie?
- Metamorpho: How could you?
- Sapphire Stagg: Rex?
- Metamorpho: You heard me. How could you dump me like that?
- Sapphire Stagg: What are you talking about?
- Metamorpho: My so-called buddy Green Lantern. But who wouldn't rather be with a superhero instead of a freak like me?
- Green Lantern: I'm so sorry. He was a good man and a real hero.
- Sapphire Stagg: It would have meant a lot to him to hear you say that.
- Metamorpho: [beginning to reform] Sapphire.
- Hawkgirl: Here we go.
- Green Lantern: Heads up, people!
- Metamorpho: [taking his physical form] I wouldn't want to do that again.
- Batman: Hawkgirl confirms finding another monster.
- Metamorpho: See? I'm telling the truth. Let me help.
- Green Lantern: [deactivating the protective bubble] So, what do you know about this monster?
- Metamorpho: Stagg was working with a mutagen when I smashed the controls. The chemicals came to life. I think it's the same compound he used on me.
- Green Lantern: [Batman collects a sample] Okay, we'll take it from here.
- Metamorpho: Wait. You can't beat it by yourself. Let me go with you.
- Green Lantern: I don't know.
- Batman: He's right. We're gonna need all the help we can get. You two go. I'll stay here and test this residue. Maybe I can find a weakness.
- Green Lantern: [to Metamorpho] All right, but I'm keeping my eye on you.
- J'onn J'onzz: [Hawkgirl lands on a car trying to fight the synthoid] Are you hurt?
- Hawkgirl: Only my pride.
- Metamorpho: [pursuing the synthoid up a skyscraper, a la "King Kong"] What I wouldn't give for a couple of biplanes right about now.
- Batman: [finding the catatonic Stagg] Looks like we're too late.
- Green Lantern: [spotting Metamorpho under rubble] Maybe not.
- [he uses his power ring to lift the rubble off]
- Metamorpho: John, thank heavens you're here.
- [Lantern projects a protective bubble around him]
- Metamorpho: Let me go.
- Green Lantern: Haven't you done enough damage?
- Metamorpho: It wasn't me. Stagg made some kind of synthetic monster. You've got to believe me.
- Green Lantern: After you tried to deep-fry me? I don't think so.
- Metamorpho: Look, I'm sorry I went off like that. I was wrong, but we can hash that out later. Right now, there's another monster loose out there.
- Simon Stagg: Well, is Metamorpho everything I promised?
- Mr. Braddock: Everything and more, Simon. We want him.
- Simon Stagg: I thought you would. Let's set up a meeting for next week, and bring your checkbook.
- [hanging up]
- Simon Stagg: A toast, Java, to unbridled capitalism.
- Java: I don't get it, boss. How are you gonna get Mason to work for him?
- Simon Stagg: Mason? He was just a prototype. Now that I've perfected the process, I don't need him anymore.
- Mr. Braddock: [emerging from his fountain] So, I'm just a guinea pig, huh?
- Java: Keep away from...
- Metamorpho: [easily knocking Java away] Why me, Simon? Was it because I asked too many questions about your pet project or because I took your daughter?
- Simon Stagg: You leave her out of this. I'll never let you touch her. Never!
- Java: Hey, is that the stuff?
- Simon Stagg: Luckily, I was able to get another shipment of the mutagen; no thanks to you. Now we can shift into full-scale production.
- Metamorpho: [crashing through the door] Not if I can help it.
- Simon Stagg: Stop him!
- Metamorpho: [Java grabs the freezing gun] Not this time, Flintstone.
- Batman: Lantern, I've got something. The creature's composed of artificial protein. We can destroy it with a complex polypeptide.
- Green Lantern: Like a designer amino acid? How soon can you whip up a batch?
- Batman: That's the problem. It'll take days to synthesize.
- Green Lantern: We don't have that long.
- Metamorpho: Wait. Tell me what's in the stuff. I'll do the rest.
- Green Lantern: Change into the polypeptide? Not a chance. If you come into contact with that thing, the chemical reaction will destroy you both.
- Metamorpho: Yeah, you're probably right. But I don't have time to argue.
- [emitting a gaseous residue that knocks John out]
- Metamorpho: Sorry, pal, but Sapphire needs me.
- Thug: So I told my broker, "Industrial waste management, that's a growth business." Am I wrong here?
- Thug: Like they say, garbage in, garbage out.
- Thug: That's exactly what I'm talking about.
- Thug: [hearing a bang] What was that?
- Metamorpho: [cutting through the truck wall] Mind if I take the wheel?
- [he literally yanks the steering wheel out and throws it through the windshield]
- Thug: [after crashing the van] What is that thing?
- Thug: [firing their machine guns] It's toast!
- Thug: [stopping] Think we got him?
- Batman: [into his communicator after Metamorpho tricked him into touching him and doused him with sleeping-gas so he could fight the monster] Lantern. Are you still there?
- Metamorpho: He's resting.
