- The Shade: Oh, yes, bringing the Shadowlands to the world was just the nettle brandy I needed. Tip top. Oh, um, saving your parents was, you know, it was a bonus.
- Jakeem Williams: I wish this guy was toast.
- Thunderbolt: As you wish.
- [turns the villain into a piece of toast]
- Young Bruce: Your mother was so concerned about you, Beth. She came here so they could talk about their sick, sad, daughter. They're worried. So worried. And it's going to kill 'em both.
- Stargirl: You're trying to bring the Shadowlands here.
- Young Bruce: Yes. Tonight, I will merge the Shadowlands and the Earth. Then I will be able to consume all of humanity at once. I will finally end my suffering. I will become a god.
- Wildcat: [fighting Yolanda] You killed one person, Brainwave of all people, and you get weepy? You ain't got what it takes to get the job done. You're no Wildcat.
- Jakeem Williams: [trying to repair his hourglass, Rick sends objects crashing in frustration] He sounds mad.
- Mike Dugan: Yeah. Rick should really learn how to meditate.
- Eclipso: It's my time. Mine! I am on the edge of victory!
- [a car horn plays "La Cucaracha", and he's knocked off his perch by S.T.R.I.P.E]
- Mike Dugan: What up, bitch?
- [shaking S.T.R.I.P.E.'s butt]
- Mike Dugan: Yeah, kiss my giant metal ass! Yo, this is so dope!
- Zeek: Tell you what, kid, wishing for that engine part was a great trick.
- Mike Dugan: [blasting Eclipso with S.T.R.I.P.E.'s flamethrower] Oh, yeah! Smoke 'em if you got 'em, baby!
- Barbara Whitmore: Jennie, are you okay?
- Jennifer-Lynn Hayden: I had some kind of vision. I don't know why, but you have to stop Courtney from going to Eclipso. It's what he wants. It's what he needs.
- Barbara Whitmore: They've already gone.
- Pat Dugan: [Pat fights a vision of himself as Stripesy] Look at you, huh? Dragging these kids into this mess? For what? For your own ego?
- [landing punches]
- Pat Dugan: There you go. Trying to prove you're something more than you are? You're a grease monkey and a sidekick, right? It's like what Dad always said. "You're never gonna do anything but disappoint yourself."
- Pat Dugan: You're forgetting the second part of what Dad said. "Never gonna do anything but disappoint yourself if you don't be yourself."
- Pat Dugan: Come on, Dugan. You can't protect your family. They're all gonna die tonight. The whole world is.
- Dr. McNider: Pat! It's not real!
- [catching a thrown punch]
- Dr. McNider: None of it is real, Pat.
- Eclipso: You have no super strength against me.
- Hourman: I still have super strength. And it lasts more than an hour.
- Jakeem Williams: [Eclipso is knocked backward by Solomon Grundy] What the heck is that?
- Hourman: A friend.
- Stargirl: Let him go!
- [Eclipso twists Pat's arm up over his head]
- Stargirl: No!
- Pat Dugan: Courtney, go! Get help!
- Eclipso: I'm gonna twist his arm right off. And then I'm gonna do the other. After all I've done to your friends and family, tell me, how do you feel?
- [twisting Pat's arm again]
- Eclipso: Tell me or he dies. Say it. Say it! Say it! SAY IT! Now!
- Stargirl: I HATE YOU!
- Eclipso: [inhaling in content] Ah. Yes.
- [whisping over to her like the Shade and grabbing her by the throat]
- Eclipso: Everything that I've done, hurting you and your family, throwing you into the Shadowlands, the assault tonight. All to have the darkness within you grow. One thread of hatred is all I needed. I've got my hooks in you now, because you have chosen to embrace the darkness.
- Stargirl: [as he possesses her, the Cosmic Staff turns from yellow to purple] I wield the power of darkness and the power of light. With control over both, I now merge our worlds into one... so that I may feed.
- Mike Dugan: Rick, you get the hourglass working?
- Rick Tyler: No.
- Mike Dugan: Okay, well, where are you going?
- Rick Tyler: To fight.
- Barbara Whitmore: That weird energy in the sky is growing. Something is going on.
- Jennifer-Lynn Hayden: That's why I can't sit this out anymore.
- Barbara Whitmore: [hearing the doorbell ring, she opens the front door] Oh, my God. It's you.
- Young Bruce: Are you afraid? You should be very afraid. I know you can see me for what I really am.
- Beth Chapel: Our friends are coming.
- Young Bruce: I told you, that's what I want. I have the power of darkness. And it's been growing thanks to all of you. But I still need... the power of light.
- Dr. McNider: To do what?
- Young Bruce: First things first. Dr. McNider. You should be more worried about what I've done to the people in here.
- Beth Chapel: Where's my dad?
- Stargirl: Beth?
- Pat Dugan: Dr. McNider!
- Young Bruce: Hi. Your friends are busy watching Beth's parents die.
- Cindy Burman: God, you're such a creep.
- Stargirl: Go find Beth.
- Pat Dugan: You sure?
- Stargirl: Yeah.
- Stargirl: We lost contact with Beth and Dr. McNider.
- Pat Dugan: Yeah, our phones are out, too.
- Wildcat: Beth said Eclipso was in there.
- Cindy Burman: What about your big robot?
- Pat Dugan: He's under repair. Thanks to you.
- Cindy Burman: Oh, right. My bad.
- Stargirl: Pat, we don't have S.T.R.I.P.E. or Rick. Jennie's sick and the Thunderbolt's missing.
- Cindy Burman: You got me.
- Wildcat: We don't want you.
- Stargirl: Stop it, you two.
- Jakeem Williams: Your dad built that?
- Mike Dugan: S.T.R.I.P.E.? Yeah. Anyway, so my dad said once the Thunderbolt's back and the robot's fixed up, we can go meet the JSA at the American Dream.
- Jakeem Williams: So we can fight a demon?
- Mike Dugan: Technically, he's more of a monster, really.
- Jakeem Williams: Mike, I stop monsters in video games, but you get a lot of extra lives in video games, and I use 'em. All of 'em.
- Zeek: Yes! Dang it! That was fun. Afraid I've got some bad news, fellas. Unless I get my hands on a Pratt & Whitney R-4360 to scavenge some engine parts from - let me tell you, they're hard to come by these days - this oversized tinker toy is grounded, for whatever it is you boys are doing. What exactly are y'all doing?
- Zeek: Sorry, boys. Did the best I could. Called all around the state. Every salvage yard's closed at this hour. That robot ain't going anywhere 'til tomorrow.
- Mike Dugan: My dad knew it wouldn't be fixed tonight.
- Jakeem Williams: What do you mean?
- Mike Dugan: I mean, he said "Come by as soon as S.T.R.I.P.E. was working", but I...
- Jakeem Williams: He's trying to protect you.
- Mike Dugan: Jakeem, he's going in without backup.
- Thunderbolt: [zapping in] I'm back. You wanted Chinese, I got Chinese.
- Mike Dugan: Zeek, now listen to me...
- Zeek: No, no, no. Don't try to explain. Don't say a word. Just let me take this in.
- Thunderbolt: Jakeem, Mike, other guy, I got egg rolls, pork fried rice, Peking duck; whatever you guys want. Well, you know, they didn't have...
- Zeek: Ain't life full of surprises? Oh, baby.
- Thunderbolt: Sorry I was late. I got lost on the way back from Shanghai. Have you ever been to Addis Ababa? It is so beautiful. I mean, it's weird. There's some debate about how you pronounce...
- Jakeem Williams: Forget all that. I wish you would electrocute Eclipso.
- Thunderbolt: [as Eclipso fights Mike/S.T.R.I.P.E. behind them] Oh, oh, okay. Yeah, yeah, you... you got it, buddy.
- [flying through Eclipso, he realizes something isn't right]
- Thunderbolt: Uh-oh.
- Sylvester Pemberton: Listen, kid, I'm still catching up, but if the Staff works for you, then you are chosen. For a reason. Fight this monster.
- Eclipso: No. You are unwanted by your father. You are unworthy. You are unloved!
- Pat Dugan: Courtney, you can break free. Be yourself. That's all.
- [as she breaks free of his control, a sports ball and two arrows fly into Eclipso]
- Sportsmaster: Hey there, bud. What did we miss?
- Tigress: Our daughter broke us out.
- Sportsmaster II: Burman called.
- Cindy Burman: I did.
- Eclipso: I am forever. I am not finished.
- Stargirl: [surrounding him with the others] Yes, you are.
- The Shade: He's weakened. Those who command the light, I'd act quickly.
- Cindy Burman: Maybe I was wrong about having to embrace your dark side to stop Eclipso. It's the opposite, actually. Which makes you kinda think.
- Yolanda Montez: Okay, what are you talking about?
- Cindy Burman: I know Courtney won't agree with it unless you're on board. But you made mistakes, too. And you got a pass. Means I should get a pass.
- Yolanda Montez: I'm not following you.
- Cindy Burman: I wanna join the JSA.
- James Chapel: Beth, just wait a second.
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: Beth, we don't understand what's happening.
- James Chapel: W-What are you wearing? And-And who is this man?
- Dr. Mid-Nite: He's a superhero. Me, too. It's a long story. I'll explain later, okay? Just stay here. It's safer.
- Dr. McNider: Um... you both should be very proud.
- Courtney Whitmore: I thought Starman was dead.
- Pat Dugan: Yeah, we thought Dr. McNider was dead, too.
- Courtney Whitmore: But you saw his body, Pat.
- Pat Dugan: I did. Sylvester said he'd explain it later.
- Courtney Whitmore: When he touched the Staff, I could sense it somehow. The Staff could, too. It belonged to him before. Do you think he came here to take it back?
- Pat Dugan: Hey, can we, like, uh, take a break for a minute before we start worrying about something new? Listen, Eclipso's been destroyed. The world is safe, and we're gonna figure it out. Okay? I promise.
- Pat Dugan: We beat Eclipso because of you.
- Courtney Whitmore: Well, we... we had some help. From Cindy Burman. Solomon Grundy. The Shade. Even the Crocks showed up.
- Pat Dugan: Yeah, but it was because of you.
- Courtney Whitmore: Eclipso was right about there being darkness in everyone, you know? Sometimes we feel anger or jealousy or hatred, even if we don't want to.
- Pat Dugan: I suppose that's true.
- Courtney Whitmore: But the thing Eclipso did not understand is that there's good in everyone, too. Every single one of us. In the end, all Eclipso did was make me believe in people even more.
- Sylvester Pemberton: That's why the Staff picked you. I'm not here to take it back, Courtney. But maybe I can show you what it can really do.
- Courtney Whitmore: Yeah? Uh, that would be amazing.
- Pat Dugan: Yeah, no, very amazing, but after summer school, all right? Okay?
- Sylvester Pemberton: School?
- Pat Dugan: Yeah.
- Sylvester Pemberton: Superheroes don't need school.
- James Chapel: This is absolutely epic.
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: This is so exciting.
- James Chapel: They're superheroes. The Justice Society, I mean, it's all so incredible.
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: I can't believe we have another doctor in the family.
- Beth Chapel: Wow, you seem to be taking it better than I thought. What about the divorce?
- James Chapel: Oh.
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: Oh.
- James Chapel: That? I mean, with all the danger and excitements...
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: [giggling] Oh, gosh. It kind of rekindled things enough for us to start again. From here on out, the focus will be on each other.
- James Chapel: And you, Beth.
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: Yes. We are going to be the best parents a superhero has ever had.
- James Chapel: And we are not gonna let you out of our sight. And we have so many ideas.
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: Oh, honey, the costume.
- James Chapel: Oh, yeah, that, too. Nanotechnology.
- Dr. Bridget Chapel: Yellow and black.
- Beth Chapel: [stunned, not sure what else to say] Great.
- The Shade: Ironic, isn't it? The beast that killed your parents, you now mourn.
- Rick Tyler: What do you want?
- The Shade: To tell you to stop brooding. Grundy has a habit of coming back. You just have to bury him in the right place at the right time.
- Rick Tyler: I take it you'll tell me what that means before you leave town.
- The Shade: Leave, my dear boy? Well, yes, your tea is rather ghastly. But your young people are so very intriguing. No, I'm not going anywhere. I've taken rather a liking to Blue Valley.
- Barbara Whitmore: Are you sure you want to leave so soon? We have plenty of room.
- Dr. McNider: I think you have another impending houseguest to worry about with Sylvester. I need to go find my wife.
- Beth Chapel: Um, I already did. Your wife is in Melody Hills, Indiana.
- Dr. McNider: Is she?
- Beth Chapel: Did you know she was pregnant when everyone thought you died?
- Dr. McNider: What?
- Beth Chapel: Chuck, you have a 10-year-old son. What happens if the world needs Doctor Mid-Nite again?
- Dr. McNider: [giving her his bag] They have one.
- Mike Dugan: I can only pilot S.T.R.I.P.E. with my father's supervision, like... like a driver's permit. But by the end of summer, I figure I can be rocking and rolling that baby on my own.
- Jakeem Williams: It all feels like a dream; the Thunderbolt, Eclipso.
- Mike Dugan: Yeah. And look, my sister's got her own JSA thing going on. But maybe you, me, the Thunderbolt could start our own thing.
- Jakeem Williams: Like, form a team?
- Mike Dugan: It's a great idea. What do you say we tell the Thunderbolt to deliver our papers and we can go talk about this over donuts like adults?
- Jakeem Williams: What could go wrong?
- Mike Dugan: [in the distance, a bike flies by in the sky] What was that?
- Jakeem Williams: I'm sorry. This is all new, you know? There's a big robot. And then, th-th-this space alien god.
- Mike Dugan: I got it under control. So just do me a favor and stop panicking. You're always panicking. And he's a monster, not an alien.
- Nurse Louise Love: Green Lantern's daughter is back in Milwaukee, searching for her brother. But she found friends. Friends like her.
- Mr. Bones: Where are those friends?
- Nurse Louise Love: They're in a small town in Nebraska that appears to be populated with heroes and villains.
- Mr. Bones: Heroes and villains living side by side. What an interesting experiment. Perhaps we should take a trip to Nebraska.
- Dr. McNider: [learning the Shade is still alive] What was the whole death scene in the theater about?
- The Shade: Oh, Charles. You know I've always had a flair for the dramatic.
- Wildcat: [seeing she's been possed by Eclipso] Oh, my God. Courtney.
- Cindy Burman: We have to kill her.
- Wildcat: No!
- Cindy Burman: We have to kill the host, Yolanda. That's how it works.
- Wildcat: Hey, the old JSA might have done that, but we're not.
- Cindy Burman: Don't be an idiot.
- Wildcat: You're not hurting Courtney. We get the Staff and stop whatever's going on. That's the key, you got it?
- Barbara Whitmore: [sitting down for family breakfast] Jennie called. She made it to Milwaukee safely.
- Pat Dugan: Oh, good. Sylvester's getting the basement all set up. Gonna be great.
- Mike Dugan: Yeah, and I am gonna be going to the movies soon with Jakeem.
- Pat Dugan: Okay.
- Courtney Whitmore: Good morning. Last day of summer school for me.
- Barbara Whitmore: Isn't this nice? We're all back to normal.
- Courtney Whitmore: Well, our normal.
- Barbara Whitmore: Oh, I heard the house next door sold.
- Pat Dugan: [hearing the doorbell ring] I got it.
- Courtney Whitmore: Okay.
- Lawrence 'Crusher' Crock: [Pat opens the front door] Howdy, neighbor.
- Artemis Crock: Good morning, Mr. Dugan.
- Paula Brooks: We brought muffins. Blueberry.
- Courtney Whitmore: What the...
- Wildcat: [Courtney is possessed by Eclipso] Fight him!
- Stargirl: You have no idea what I possess. This staff is a conduit of spiritual enlightenment. The power of creation itself. And only one can control it.
- [blasting Yolanda backward, Cindy then tries to take it]
- Stargirl: Only one!
- [blasting her backward, too]
- Stargirl: Only one.
- Sylvester Pemberton: [grabbing hold of the staff] Well... maybe two.
- Pat Dugan: Starman?
- Courtney Whitmore: Finally feels like summer.
- Yolanda Montez: Finally feels like things are gonna be okay.
- Beth Chapel: They will. As long as we're all together.
- Courtney Whitmore: You're back for good, right?
- Yolanda Montez: I'm back.
- Mike Dugan: [at Jakeem's wish, Thunderbolt turns Eclipso into a literal piece of toast] Wow. That guy really is toast, huh?
- Dr. Mid-Nite: Well, at least we didn't kill him.
- Wildcat: What do we do with it?
- Rick Tyler: Put it someplace safe.
