- Wonder Woman: Mr. Terrific can fill in. He's smart enough to do monitor duty and the Sunday Times crossword puzzle at the same time.
- Mr. Terrific: Go ahead, J'onn - I'm already finished with the crossword.
- Green Arrow: You did it in ink again, didn't you?
- King Faraday: [before heading back inside] By the way, if you raise your voice to the V.P. again, my men are under orders to shoot you.
- [in answer, Diana peels back the sleeve of her suit coat, showing she's still wearing her bracelets, and taps her nail against one]
- J'onn J'onzz: I've been thinking about what you said, and about the horrible despair of Prince Jon's life. I'm a Martian, I'll live far longer than he did, and unless I find a way to connect with humanity, I'll live out that time totally alone. I can't learn what I need learn on the Watchtower.
- [GA just cut himself out of a block of ice]
- Green Arrow: And Black Canary said a buzzsaw arrow was self-indulgent.
- [Wonder Woman appears in a smart suit]
- Green Arrow: [wolf whistle] Looking good, Diana. Hot date?
- Wonder Woman: No such luck, Ollie. I'm representing Themyscira at the global warming conference.
- Green Arrow: Way to go, man. Save the planet!
- Wonder Woman: More like "save my relationship with my mother."
- Green Arrow: Hey, at least you're speaking again.
- Wonder Woman: It's the first thing she's asked me to do since we mended fences. I'd rather take another day trip to Tartarus.
- Heat Wave: [after the workers have warned them about melting the ice] So?
- Wonder Woman: [flying in from above] So I'm not going to let you do it.
- [to Giganta]
- Wonder Woman: Out of my way, jumbo.
- [plows into her hard]
- Giganta: Ow! That hurt.
- [smacks her hard through the air]
- King Faraday: Attention, unidentified craft. This is Special Agent King Faraday. Your vessel is currently surrounded by three United States Navy Seawolf-class submarines. While I strongly suggest you surrender immediately and prepare to be boarded, I really enjoy firing Trident missiles at tiny little subs, so the decision's entirely up to you.
- Princess Diana: Agent Faraday, what are you doing here?
- King Faraday: [blowing a bubble and popping it] Not smoking.
- [offering a piece of gum]
- King Faraday: Want some?
- Princess Diana: No, thanks.
- King Faraday: I'm here with the special security team. The vice president is attending. But you know that already. I saw you reading him the riot act earlier.
- Princess Diana: I'm not much of a diplomat.
- King Faraday: Don't sell yourself short, lady. You're an international incident waiting to happen.
- King Faraday: We should retreat.
- Wonder Woman: I'm not backing down from a fight.
- King Faraday: Your bloodstream's full of poison. I can't believe you're still on your feet. It's only a matter of time before your system shuts down.
- Wonder Woman: [Giganta crashes through Killer Frost's ice slide] I guess calling for support isn't backing down.
- King Faraday: I gotta say it ain't.
- J'onn J'onzz: [Killer Frost manages to stop an avalanche] You've done well.
- Killer Frost: Kiss my frosty butt.
- Sub Henchman: [to Green Arrow] What are you doing in here?
- [Green Arrow knocks out the henchman]
- Green Arrow: Well, for one thing, it's freezing outside.
- J'onn J'onzz: Mr. Terrific is more that capable, but I insist on remaining where I am needed.
- Wonder Woman: Turn around and talk to me.
- [J'onn turns to Diana]
- Wonder Woman: You've been cooped up like a hermit in the Watchtower for almost two years now.
- J'onn J'onzz: I can better serve the League...
- Wonder Woman: We're not even going to have that argument. You're a super-strong, nearly-invulnerable, telepathic shape-changer. The reason you aren't on the ground protecting humanity is because you don't want to be. You don't actually like humanity all that much, do you?
- J'onn J'onzz: I don't dislike them.
- Wonder Woman: You're not the only newcomer to this world around here. People have strange ways and take a lot of getting used to. But it's worth the effort. They're worth it.
- Green Arrow: She's got your number, J'onn. You need to mingle, maybe take a meal in the commissary every once in awhile.
- J'onn J'onzz: My Martian physiology doesn't require as many meals as a human.
- Wonder Woman: You know what he means. You must be terribly lonely. I've gotta go, but we're not done talking about this.
- King Faraday: [Diana saves him from a falling block of ice] You're a sight for sore eyes. Not to say that ain't always the case.
- Green Arrow: I think you'll make a great diplomat. Leave your sword.
- Wonder Woman: I'm serious, I really don't wanna go by myself. J'onn, how about you come along and keep me company?
- J'onn J'onzz: The Justice League currently has 23 active missions in progress. Only I can properly deploy what remains of our resources.
- Wonder Woman: J'onn, I've got a situation.
- J'onn J'onzz: Watchtower sensors have picked up the earth tremors from your location. I knew you were on the scene and assumed you could handle it.
- Wonder Woman: Well, I can't. I'm outnumbered and I'm not feeling well.
- J'onn J'onzz: We're still shorthanded. I could spare Green Arrow and Mr. Terrific.
- Wonder Woman: Bring who you want, J'onn, but I need *you*.
- Green Arrow: How's the shoulder, Diana?
- Wonder Woman: Better. The antitoxin I found in Devil Ray's belt did the trick.
- King Faraday: I still don't get what all this was about.
- Green Arrow: They think the Viking Prince's corpse will give them the secret of invulnerability.
- J'onn J'onzz: That was their plan, or as much of it as I could learn before something shut down Giganta's mind.
- Wonder Woman: Green Lantern said the same thing happened when he tried to question Metallo.
- King Faraday: So these guys were working with Metallo?
- J'onn J'onzz: And perhaps with others. We can't leave Prince Jon's body here. Whoever else is involved will just try again.
- Wonder Woman: The legend of the Viking Prince is known even to my people. If this is really him, he deserves to be laid to rest according to tradition. I'll take care of it.
- Green Arrow: Meanwhile, something's definitely not kosher. Strange thefts, supervillains with their heads hot-wired to short out if you question them. We got a real mystery developing here.
- J'onn J'onzz: True. But it's a mystery you'll have to solve without me.
- Vice President: The proposed accords are far too drastic. With all due respect, princess, we're talking about committing hundreds of billions of dollars, and nobody's even proven the existence of global warming.
- Princess Diana: My mother's government fully supports the findings of her scientists, and those of the vast majority of scientists here in man's world.
- Foreign Diplomat: My government does not accept those studies.
- Princess Diana: Then accept the evidence of your eyes. There's a Viking ship at the bottom of this mountain, hidden in ice for 1,100 years. If it weren't for global warming, we wouldn't even know about it.
- Vice President: Yes, and it was clever PR for our hosts to hold the talks here. But it is not proof.
- Princess Diana: You have to take this seriously. Atlantis has already withdrawn from the World Assembly over this, and they aren't the only country considering action.
- Foreign Diplomat: Are you suggesting Themyscira might do the same?
- Princess Diana: If your pollution continues to affect my home, my mother is less likely to withdraw than she is to attempt a military solution.
- [seeing everybody staring]
- Princess Diana: As a last resort only, of course.
- King Faraday: You okay?
- Wonder Woman: Arm's numb. Stomach's not all that great, either.
- King Faraday: Easy, princess. Let me look at that.
- [checking her shoulder]
- King Faraday: Stinger's still in there.
- Wonder Woman: Pull it out.
- King Faraday: There's a barb. You want a bullet to bite? There's plenty lying around.
- Wonder Woman: Now.
- King Faraday: [removing it] That's all. It's out.
- Wonder Woman: Then let's take them down.
- Gorilla Grodd: Progress report, Mr. Luthor?
- Lex Luthor: As promised, I've used various technologies to augment the powers of dozens of our associates. I've had notable success with Atomic Skull.
- Gorilla Grodd: And Devil Ray?
- Devil Ray: Ready for action. I feel stronger than ever.
- Lex Luthor: That's because you are. The increased strength is the least of the gifts I've granted you. Your stingers...
- Gorilla Grodd: Perfect timing, Lex. I've got an assignment that's right up Devil Ray's new-and-improved alley.
- Devil Ray: Where to?
- Gorilla Grodd: First, I wanna tell you a story. In Scandanavia, early in the 10th century, lived Prince Jon, the greatest warrior of his era. His tremendous skill and valor brought him fame throughout the world as the legendary Viking Prince. His adventures were epic, as were the legends that grew around his exploits. This much we know to be truth: on a frozen battlefield, Prince Jon, sole survivor of a bloody war, its purpose lost to time, met a Valkyrie, a messenger from the Norse gods sent to escort the souls of fallen heroes to their reward in the halls of Valhalla. Impossibly, they fell in love and swore their hearts to each other. But Odin, king of the Norse gods, discovered their illicit affair and, enraged, banished Jon from Valhalla. The Viking Prince pleaded with Odin for mercy, begging to be allowed to remain with his love. Odin agreed, saying that if Jon died a heroic death, he and his love would again be united for all eternity. But Odin was a crafty god and cruel. Before exiling Jon, he gifted him with invulnerability to harm from metal, wood, fire, and water. The Viking Prince soon realized that he would never die a hero's death, because no weapon on Earth could slay him. He trod boldly across a troubled world in search of adventure and an honorable death, growing ever more distant from humanity. Eventually, weary of the endless fight for justice and despairing in his loneliness, he sailed north, beyond the boundaries of the known world, and passed from the knowledge of men. That is until now.
- Lex Luthor: That Viking ship they found in a glacier last month. You think it's his?
- Gorilla Grodd: I know it is.
- [showing them an image of the ship's prow]
- Gorilla Grodd: That's the standard of King Rikk, his father. The Viking Prince is on that ship.
- Devil Ray: And?
- Gorilla Grodd: I want you to steal his corpse.
- Lex Luthor: You want me to reverse-engineer the secret of his invulnerability.
- Gorilla Grodd: If we gained that power, all of us, we'd have nothing left to fear from the Justice League. And we'd be that much closer to achieving my ultimate goal.
- Killer Frost: Which, I note, you haven't seen fit to share with us.
- Gorilla Grodd: Patience, my friends. The grandest prizes are worth the wait.
- Killer Frost: Let me go, freak, or so help me, I'll give you frostbite in places you didn't even know you had places.
- J'onn J'onzz: Use your powers. Stop the avalanche or all the people inside will die.
- Killer Frost: Why should I care?
- J'onn J'onzz: When it hits, I intend to see that we're both standing right here.
- Killer Frost: I don't even know if I'm powerful enough to stop a whole avalanche.
- J'onn J'onzz: Let's find out, shall we?
