Quotes 

• Wildcat : I'm not doing it. I only fight guys who have it coming. That's all I've ever done.

  Roulette : Or so you've told yourself. The truth is you love the fight.

  Wildcat : Well, I'm not gonna love beating up one of my own students. That ain't right.

  Roulette : If you trained her, she can take care of herself. She knew what she was getting into. And if you don't do this, I'll never let you fight in that cage again. And I expect you to win no matter what. Don't take a fall. Don't even go easy on her. You're still my star attraction, and I need you undefeated. Ruin that, and I'll put you out to pasture as quickly as the League. Are we clear?

• Wildcat : I've come to a decision. I'm not gonna fight anymore.

  Roulette : What brought this on?

  Wildcat : It's interfering with my work and I've been letting my friends down.

  Roulette : Hmm. You mean the Justice League?

  Wildcat : That's right.

  Roulette : The timing's a shame. Atomic Skull's in town, and he wanted a shot at you. But don't worry. I'll tell him you quit.

  Wildcat : Knock it off. I know what you're doing, and it's not gonna work. I've already made up my mind.

  Roulette : Well, you're a good man, Cat. You care about the right things. I can't fault you for being loyal to the League. I just have a hard time understanding it.

  Wildcat : What's so hard about it?

  Roulette : Well, you must have to swallow a lot of pride, being one of the only normal humans in the group. No superpowers, not even a pile of gadgets like Batman's. You want out of this, fine. But if you wanna stay where people respect you, where you're the king, then don't go.

• Roulette : Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourselves for the world's first cage fight between two heroes, right here at Meta-Brawl!

  [the crowd cheers] 

  Roulette : However, there's been a change in the program. Instead of Black Canary, Wildcat will be fighting Green Arrow!

  Wildcat : There's no way. I'm not fighting him. Canary could have held her own, but not this guy.

  Roulette : You'll fight who I tell you to fight. End of story.

• Black Canary : Sorry about getting you into this.

  Green Arrow : Forget the apology. Just do that sonic scream of yours.

  Black Canary : I can't. At this range, it would kill them. I have a better idea. How would you like to see two League members fight each other? Me and Wildcat in the cage right now. That make you some money?

  Roulette : Oh, definitely.

  Black Canary : Then here's the deal. If I win, you ban Wildcat from cage fighting forever. And if lose, I'll never bother you again.

  Wildcat : Forget it.

  Roulette : Can't do that, Cat. It's much too good an idea. Everything's okay, folks. In fact, it's fabulous. Because after a brief intermission, Wildcat is going to fight Black Canary. That's right, two good guys fighting each other. And one of them's her. So place your bets.

• Black Canary : [after it appears Wildcat killed Green Arrow]  What have you done?

  Roulette : I'll tell you what he's done. He's taken the fights to a whole new level. Think of the word that'll spread from this. Anything's possible here. Next time you fight, we'll clear millions.

  Wildcat : No. No, I'm out. And this time, I mean it.

• Green Arrow : It's a stunner. Puts you in metabolic stasis for a few minutes.

  Black Canary : You wanted him to see what it would feel like to kill someone.

  Green Arrow : Think it worked?

  Wildcat : It worked.

  Roulette : [as they leave]  Who are you kidding? You won't be happy stuck on that ship. I give you a month, and you'll be back here crying for me to give you another chance. Mark my words, Wildcat, I know your kind, and you will fight again.

  Black Canary : Of course he will. Just not here.
