"Master Wayne, since the age of seven you have been to the art of deception as Mozart to the harpsicord. But you've never been too hot at lying to me. The White Portuguese is not carrying a dirty bomb. What is it carrying?"

"[To Bruce over being caught in the server room] Go upstairs and socialize. Some young lady from the Metropolis will make you honest. [To self] In your dreams, Alfred."

"[Bruce informs him that he can't break into Lex Luthor's house] Bruce Wayne won't have to. [Hands Bruce an invitation] He's been invited."

"[Observes wine bottle, then to Bruce] Oh. I hope the next generation of Waynes don't inherit an empty wine cellar. [Under breath] Not that there's likely to be a next generation."

"[After watching news report of Wallace vandalizing Superman statue with statement of "False God"] Jenny. Headline. "End of Love Affair With Man In The Sky". Question mark."

"[Walks up to Clark in office] Kent. You're sports today. I want you to go to Gotham and follow up on football. [Envisioning headline] "Underdog Dreams Dashed: Ten Yards between Gotham and Glory". Oh, um, watch yourself over there in Gotham. Don't let them take your lunch money."

"[To Lex before testifying before a Congressional hearing] I grew up on a farm. I know how to wrestle a pig."

"[To Lex] You can call me whatever you like. Take a bucket of piss and call it Granny's Peach Tea. Take a weapon of assassination and call it deterrence. You won't fool a fly or me. I'm not gonna drink it."

"Do you know the oldest lie in America, Senator? It's that power can be innocent. [She turns and walks away] Good luck!"

"[To June before testifying before a Congressional hearing] You are going to be on the hot seat in there, Junebug!"

"[Nicky announces Lex's presence at benefit gala] Me? Ah. Okay. [Gets on stage] Nicky. Uh... you're embarrassing me. Um... speech, speech. [Diana turns to look at Bruce] Blah, blah, blah. Uh... open bar. The end. Uh... [Bruce walks away] the word "philanthropist" comes from the Greek. Meaning a lover of humanity. It was coined about 2,500 years ago. [Alfred gives Bruce instructions of direction] Gods and men. Prometheus went with us. And he ruined Zeus' plan to destroy mankind, and for that, he was given a thunderbolt, boom! [Diane stares unimpressed] But on a serious note, the Library of Metropolis. But at one time, Dad could not buy them. No. My father could not afford books growing up. He had to root through the garbage for yesterday's newspaper. Books are knowledge and knowledge is power, and I am... [sheepishly chuckles] No. Uh, um... no. What am I? I... what was I saying? No. The bittersweet pain among men is having knowledge with no power, because... because that is paradoxical! And, um... [sheepishly chuckles] Thank you for coming. [Benefit gala guests start applauding] Please drink! Drink!"

"See, what we call God depends upon our tribe, Clark Joe, 'cause God is tribal; God takes sides! No man in the sky intervened when I was a boy to deliver me from daddy's fist and abominations. I figured out way back if God is all-powerful, He cannot be all-good. And if He is all-good, then He cannot be all-powerful. And neither can you be."

"[To June] You don't think Dad would mind, do you? If I just... changed one thing in this room? [Points to painting] Because that should be upside-down. We know better now, don't we? The devils don't come from hell beneath us. No. No, they come from the sky."

"[To June over announcing blocking his license to mineral access] The redcapes are coming. The redcapes are coming. Hmm. [Sits on table near her and starts drumming table underside] You and your hearings. Galloping through the streets to warn us. One if by land, two if by air. [June stops his drumming] Hmm. Do you know the oldest lie in America, June? Can I call you June?"

"[To June entering his quarters] A little bourbon before lunch? [June subtlety declines] No bourbon?! Kentucky girl like yourself?! Hmm. My dad always said that Kentucky mash was the secret to health. Hmm. This was his room. I kept it just the same. Hmm. "Maybe one day Dad'll come back if I just keep everything the same". Hmm-mm. That is silly. The magical thinking of orphan boys."

"I don't have a halo over my head, General. I walked into the desert, people died. It keeps me awake at night. It should."

"[To Lex] I'll take you in without breaking you, which is more than you deserve."

"Next time they shine your light in the sky, don't go to it. The Bat is dead. Bury it. Consider this mercy."

"[To Superman] Tell me. Do you bleed? [Superman shoots upwards] You will."

"There was a time above... a time before. There were perfect things... diamond absolutes. How things fall, things on Earth. And what falls... is fallen. In the dream, they took me to the light. A beautiful lie."

"Bring Him Home."

"Every time something goes wrong, the world forgets why we fly."

"[reading Watney's transcript] Okay, he says, "They don't know I'm alive? What the--" F-word, F-word in gerund form, F-word again "--is wrong with you?""

"I mean, what are we gonna say, "Dear America, remember that astronaut we killed and had a really nice funeral for? Turns out he's alive and we left him on Mars. Our bad. Sincerely, NASA". I mean, do you realize the shit storm that is about to hit us?"

"At some point, everything's gonna go south on you... everything's going to go south and you're going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That's all it is. You just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem... and you solve the next one... and then the next. And If you solve enough problems, you get to come home. All right, questions? [every student’s hand shoots up]"

"[having come up with the idea to puncture his suit to use the escaping air as a makeshift thruster] I admit it's fatally dangerous, but I'd get to fly around like Iron Man."

"[after hearing he has to take the top off of the Mars Ascent Vehicle] I know what they're doing. I know exactly what they're doing. They just keep repeating "go faster than any man in the history of space travel", like that's a good thing. Like it'll distract me from how insane their plan is. Yeah, I get to go faster than any man in the history of space travel, because you're launching me in a convertible. Actually it's worse than that, because I won't even be able to control the thing. And by the way, physicists, when describing things like acceleration do not use the word "fast". So they're only doing that in the hopes that I won't raise any objections to this lunacy, because I like the way "fastest man in the history of space travel" sounds. I do like the way it sounds... I mean, I like it a lot. [pauses] I'm not gonna tell them that."

"They say once you grow crops somewhere, you have officially colonized it. So, technically, I colonized Mars. In your face, Neil Armstrong!"

"I've been thinking about laws on Mars. There's an international treaty saying that no country can lay claim to anything that's not on Earth. By another treaty if you're not in any country's territory, maritime law applies. So Mars is international waters. Now, NASA is an American non-military organization, it owns the Hab. But the second I walk outside I'm in international waters. So here's the cool part. I'm about to leave for the Schiaparelli Crater where I'm going to commandeer the Ares IV lander. Nobody explicitly gave me permission to do this, and they can't until I'm on board the Ares IV. So I'm going to be taking a craft over in international waters without permission, which by definition... makes me a pirate. Mark Watney: Space Pirate."

"I don't want to come off as arrogant here, but I'm the greatest botanist on this planet."

"Good news: I may have a solution to my heating problem. Bad news: it involves me digging up the radioisotope thermoelectric generator. Now, if I remember my training correctly, one of the lessons was titled: "Don't dig up the big box of plutonium, Mark." I get it; RTGs are good for spacecraft, but if they rupture around humans... no more humans, which is why we buried it when we arrived. And planted that flag so we would never be stupid enough to accidentally go near it again. But, as long as I don't break it... [trails off, then starts laughing] I almost just said "Everything will be fine," out loud. Look, the point is, I'm not cold anymore."

"[after trying to make water by burning hydrogen] So... I blew myself up."

"I've got to make a lot more water. The good thing is, I know the recipe: You take hydrogen, you add oxygen, and you burn. Now, I have hundreds of liters of unused hydrazine at the MDV. If I run the hydrazine over an iridium catalyst, it'll separate into N2 and H2. And then if I just direct the hydrogen into a small area and burn it. Luckily, in the history of humanity, nothing bad has ever happened from lighting hydrogen on fire."

"In the face of overwhelming odds, I'm left with only one option: I'm gonna have to science the shit out of this."

"If the oxygenator breaks down, I'll suffocate. If the water reclaimer breaks down, I'll die of thirst. If the hab breaches, I'll just kind of implode. If none of those things happen, I'll eventually run out of food and starve to death. So, yeah... Yeah..."

"I'm the first person to be alone on an entire planet."

"Hi, I'm Mark Watney and I'm still alive... obviously."
