Justice League Unlimited (TV Series)

Double Date (2005)

Glenn Shadix: Steven Mandragora

Quotes 

• Steven Mandragora : I am doing my best. You can't blame me for being nervous, I have enemies everywhere. Even Justice League enemies. Besides, I'm ravaged by hunger. Feed me and I shall squeal on all manner of former associates. Speaking of squealing, Black Canary, I notice you can't take your eyes off of me. One can hardly blame you. Perhaps after Agent Faraday helps absolve me of my alleged crimes, I could put you in a cage and have you sing for me.

  Green Arrow : Listen, you giant tub of...!

  Agent King Faraday : Green Arrow, may I remind you that you're here strictly in a security capacity?

  Steven Mandragora : Yes, why don't you go and fetch me another four platters of oysters like a good little leprechaun? I'm sure your girlfriend and I will have much to discuss while you're gone. I like my oysters sweet, by the way. Sweet and juicy.

  Black Canary : Let him talk, Arrow. With all the enemies he's made, he never knows if he's eating his last meal.

  [Mandragora laughs heartily] 

• Green Arrow : [being restrained by two agents]  Five minutes. That's all I need! Just give me five minutes. I'll teach this pompous jerk some manners.

  Agent King Faraday : Listen, Justice League or not, you will sit down and behave!

  Green Arrow : You heard what he said!

  Steven Mandragora : Oh, dear. Did I offend you somehow, little man? My most sincere apologies.

  Black Canary : Faraday's right, Arrow. Relax. Nothing this guy can say is gonna affect me one way or the other.

  Steven Mandragora : Is that right? Well, then perhaps you won't mind explaining how a lovely young lady like you ends up with a nobody like him. Were all the real men in the Justice League already taken?

  Black Canary : [she narrows her eyes; cut to them leaving the house]  I hope you're proud of yourself. Now we have to do guard duty from outside.

  Green Arrow : Hope I'm proud of myself? You're the one that punched him.

  Black Canary : Yeah, but... ow! It was like punching a brick wall. There's no fat on that man.

  Green Arrow : [she pulls his hand out of his]  Will you let me look?

  [taking it back and giving it a glance] 

  Green Arrow : I think you'll live to punch suspects another day, pretty bird.

• Agent King Faraday : Now, why is it that most of your criminal acquaintances seem to be deceased?

  Steven Mandragora : Perhaps my friends are simply prone to misfortune, Agent Faraday.

  Agent King Faraday : My job is to prep you to testify before the grand jury, Mr. Mandragora. You're gonna have to come up with a lot more than some mook who may or may not be around anymore if you want immunity from prosecution.

• Steven Mandragora : Get behind me, Edgar. It will be all right...

• Steven Mandragora : On my last trip to the old country, a rival criminal organization kidnapped my son. It took me all this time to arrange his rescue. Rest assured that his captors were taught the error of their ways.

  Huntress : Rest assured, I'm about to teach you the same lesson.
