Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)/Quotes

[T]hey're now called White Lotus. It's code for "people you absolutely don't want to screw with under any circumstances." I used to freelance for them.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

You know what they say, don't ya, Dink? The bigger they are...the harder you have to kick 'em in the groin.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

The poison slows me to the speed of a normal human being. Making this standoff a fair fight. And there's nothing I hate more than a fair fight.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Teenagers, Christoph? Teenagers? Is that what you think of me now?

Maybe he is unkillable. I didn't actually expect it to kill him. But I'll be damned if I try something complicated when a bullet to the skull will do the trick.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I know you're about as areal a freedom fighter as this place is a real abandoned building. I know what you told me in public, but if I'm going to complete this mission, I want to know the truth.

You only see the negatives of honor. Your father would have had the clan backing him up. And he would have been willing to die to kill me. That, at least, is something we both appreciate.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Oh Mikel. So predictable... It's almost not fun. Almost.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

And I've thrown away any hope of reconciling with you. But then, that sort of thing is never really in the cards for people like me. Like us.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

The money is only important because it's important to other people-- a sign of respect via perceived "worth." But it means nothing compared to my name. And right now-- with this already being the second time I've killed him... Someone doesn't think that's worth very much.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

My son's been dead for years, Alex. You were there.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Inflict enough damage, take away the things he cares about, and it will all become too much. The man will eventually break. The scars you see and the ones you don't. At least, that's supposed to be the idea.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

To be aware of your weaknesses and how they can be perceived by enemies. To hide those weaknesses... Before they become liabilities.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

That's really what it comes down to, "Dad." After all these years... why I'll never stop. Just like my son is determined to show me. I'm better than you, Father. And I always will be.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

No more games. Harley. You're going to tell me where Rose is...or I'll shoot you in the face.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I feel off. Like someone's been screwing around inside my head. In my mind. Messing with things. And maybe they're still there.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I'll go alone. Taking only death with me. I am Deathstroke. The Terminator.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I'm at a disadvantage. I can't kill you. I need answers first.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

If my father can really do as you say, then this power isn't for any man, or government, to control.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

If anything happens to my son, Batman -- I'm holding you responsible!

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Argh! My eye! You know, I'm starting to get used to that eye. I'd like to keep it this time.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Stop that. Stop it now. There are no "Heroes." No "Villains." This is not a "costume." This isn't fun and games, Tanya--Cosplay dress up. This is life and death.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

My name is Slade Wilson. I'm the fastest killer alive...about to change my own destiny...

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Luke 10, Christ said find the man of peace--someone you can work with to get things done. I've changed, Tanya. I'm ashamed of the man I was. I'm going a different way. Now you can help me along that path--or you can go on pretending to be about something you're obviously not.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

And what have I got, Arthur? A dead son. My other boy got his throat cut and can't speak. My ex-wife hates me. My daughter's half a nutjob. This is the treasure my lifestyle has earned me--millions in the bank but an empty soul. Enough already.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Putting labels on people--"hero", "villain"--is dangerous and naïve. There are no gods anymore, boy. We're all just dwarves reaching for the shelf. Which makes you, with your power, either the world's savior--or its deadliest threat.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Like every other empty-headed nitwit teenager--you're too immature to know how stupid you are. Honestly, Rose--I'd take you more seriously if I thought you actually believed in something.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Listen to me, you little snot. We are not related. You know it, I know it, your crazy mom, Talia, knows it. The only person who doesn't know it is Batman.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

The blind leading the deaf...

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

No, it's about commitment. The man who is most committed--loses.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

For you--? Or for them--the new subgroup you oversee--the Intergalactic Beekeeper Illuminati wannabe club. That's what this has all been about, right? Recruiting me for your "Core Policy" group...managing that quasi-religious cult you stroll for?

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Take me in. I've got lawyers that make Darkseid look like a librarian.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I heard a story once, too...about a decorated Navy pilot. Three tours in the sandbox, group C.O. ISAF, running black bags out of Incirlik. Got ASMO'ed into pretending to be whatever you're pretending to be now -- a third banana-box man. What a waste.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

You people obviously don't have the stomach for doing what needs to be done. So excuse me -- while I go solve your problem for you...

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

The world is coming to an end. You get what you can, when you can. It's all pointless. So embrace the insanity.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

A U.S. Army Patrol just got hit. Medivac is ten minutes out. You cannot be here when they arrive. You cannot be here doing the things you do to the wounded. Not even with that NSA Pass of yours.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Before I go, young lady, take some free advice. Whatever happened to your old man, make sure you find out who did it and even the score. Because a job is a job... but blood is blood.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

It was never in his eyes. The look. I've seen the look more times than I can remember. The look of murder.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

OK, Essence, you showed yourself to me for a reason. You want something. Unless what you want is to convince me and everyone else that I've lost my mind, show yourself to them. Or I ignore your ghostly ass and get on with the mission.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Well, today might be the day you see more of your teammates die - We got hostiles incoming!

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

There...inside the Speed Force...I've seen things no man will ever see...things no man should ever see. Awareness...on multiple planes...all at once. And now it's gone. My higher consciousness making it difficult to be in tune with the Speed Force. Every last one of you should die here today. And so should I. So, let's just end it, shall we--? I quit. Deathstroke is finished.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Never forget kid. You did this.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Speed runs in your family, doesn't it? Your father would be proud of what you've become. Except that he's gone. Just like Grant. They were both taken from us before we had a chance to set things right. That vacancy you feel? I feel it too. You miss your father. I miss my son. That grief has...poisoned me. I am what I am because he's dead. Deathstroke is a side-effect. A consequence.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Tell me everything you know about why the Silencer is back.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Guile knew this day was coming. Leviathan turning on itself, purging and killing its own. That's the end for this organization. All trust gone. This will start a war, and it'll take you with it.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Wally West... help me bring my son back... and I'll stop being Deathstroke... forever. No more costume. No more contracts. No more killing. Save one life... save thousands.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

No sudden moves... or she's dead.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

We didn't want to overwhelm you. But we've all been where you are. And come to the same conclusion. Someone -- some powerful beings -- brought us here. But if there's a way in, there's a way out. The only way we'll find it is together.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

But it's not all bad. I mean, sure, you're stuck is some crazy alien dimension forever. But at least you've got each other.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

It's time I picked a lane... hero or villain once and for all.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

But this... this is me. The baddest of the bad.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I was on a mission. And I saw something... Darkness. There is something coming. And I'm going to prepare for it.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Time's not been kind to you.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

... but I didn't call myself King of the Super-Villains to go on the run at the first sign of trouble. I need to regroup with the rest of the Secret Society first. Once we get to the other side of this war, we'll return to your training.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

He never had a real name. Just that silly name he gave himself. The al Ghuls created him but treated him like he was nothing.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I have a new contract to finish. We're killing everyone.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I had to choose a path. Father. Or mercenary. And when the moment came for me to do so... the choice was simple.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I've only been good at one thing. Killing. I know that makes me a monster. But the world needs monsters like me.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Figured home was better without me

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

'

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

This kid's precise.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

I gave my word and my word is my bond. I'm not backing out.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

You're good. I'm better.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Killing. Proving. Hit after hit. That I am the world's greatest assassin.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

Deathstroke is not who I am. It's my job and I love it. Viewed from a certain angle, I can come off looking like quite the bad egg. A real villain. A mass-murdering psychopathic killer, even. But that depends on who's describing me. Dead men don't talk. They sure as hell don't gossip. I think I'm a heck of a good guy, actually. My name is Slade Wilson. And I love adventure.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

We're playing with fire.

--Slade Wilson (Prime Earth)

You think this is over?! That's a funny joke. And you have no idea why... But you will, Batman... you... will...
