Quotes 

• Jason Blood : Gone, gone, the form of man! Arise the demon Etrigan!

• Wonder Woman : You've been hunting this sorceress Le Fay for how long?

  Etrigan : For hundreds of years, she's taunted me in a never-ending game of cat-and-mouse. But I'll never rest until her soul writhes in the Eternal Pit!

  The Flash : [aside]  And I thought Bats was creepy.

• Etrigan : I still don't trust that Martian. He's damaged goods.

  Batman : I trust J'onn with my life.

  Etrigan : I'll send flowers.

• Batman : How has she eluded you for so long?

  Etrigan : The witch has an amulet which can sense when I'm drawing near.

  The Flash : [aside; to J'onn]  With that stench, who needs an amulet?

  Etrigan : [grabs Flash and hoists him in the air]  What?

  The Flash : Nothing.

• Merlin : Art thou satisfied, villain? By base treachery, Camelot will fall this day.

  Jason Blood : You could never understand, Merlin. You, who are not a man and have never known the sweetness of a woman's kiss.

  Merlin : A viper's kiss, Jason Blood. The kiss of a demon in human form. All my great dreams are undone in the name of thy tainted love.

  Jason Blood : I've paid for my crime with my life. Is that not enough?

  Merlin : Nay! Such swift mercy is not for the likes of thee! Thou art cursed, Jason Blood, until the day this monstrous deed is atoned! To mark thy eternal shame, I hereby bind thy soul to a creature of the Pit! Look at thee now and see the face spawned from thy lust! The face of thy perdition! The face of... thy inner demon!

• Batman : [finding Etrigan standing over Moss's body]  What did you do?

  J'onn J'onzz : [checking Moss's pulse]  He's in shock. But he'll recover.

  Etrigan : Why bother with him? He'll pass on in a few years, anyway.

  J'onn J'onzz : [searching Moss's thoughts telepathically]  He has no knowledge of the stone. The relic is not there.

  Etrigan : [smashing items on a table]  Blast! But if Moss doesn't have it, then maybe Hickman does.

• Etrigan : [attacking J'onn]  I knew it. That harpy still has her claws in you. You betrayed us.

  Batman : [stopping him from throwing another punch]  No. Leave him...

  [collapsing] 

  Batman : Alone.

  J'onn J'onzz : Batman!

  Etrigan : Admit it, Martian. You let her get away, didn't you? It's all your fault.

• Batman : [dodging a blast of fire]  Etrigan, you could have warned me.

  Etrigan : That witch will pay for this. I'll feast on her cold heart.

  Batman : If the stone's as powerful as you say... we're going to need help.

• Etrigan : Burn, witch!

  Morgaine le Fey : Still so bitter, my love?

• Etrigan : Don't trust the Martian. He's been tainted by that witch.

  Batman : Let us worry about that.

  Etrigan : Heed me. She will tap into your deepest desires, then dangle them like a carrot in front of your nose. She will give you everything you dream of, but only until she gets what she wants.

  Batman : The voice of experience.

  Etrigan : [grunting]  Hmm. Don't say I didn't warn you.

• My'ria'h : While you were away, I changed the tactile scheme. Do you like it?

  J'onn J'onzz : I have lived among unfamiliar surroundings for so long.

  J'onn's Children : [running in]  Father, Father!

  J'onn J'onzz : [picking them up in joy]  My dear children!

  J'onn's Children : Are you staying home this time, Father?

  J'onn J'onzz : Yes. I am truly home.

  Etrigan : [appearing in a flash of light]  You fool! Only a weak-minded simpleton would fall for this illusion.

  J'onn J'onzz : How dare you violate the sanctity of my home. Leave this place!

  Etrigan : Not without you.

• Batman : [inspecting a book with a page torn out]  The Philosopher's Stone.

  Jason Blood : According to legend, it was a gem from the hilt of Excaliber and the true source of the sword's fabled power.

  Batman : Hello, Jason. I assume you're not here to browse.

  Jason Blood : I'm a friend of the owner.

  Batman : You mean that old man?

  Jason Blood : He's 32 years old. He's also an expert in Arthurian lore.

  Batman : What's this all about?

  Jason Blood : Morgaine le Fay. When Camelot fell, Merlin was able to hide the Philosopher's Stone from her. Now she's returned to track it down again.

  Batman : Impossible.

  Jason Blood : You of all people should know better.

  Batman : Why does she want the gem?

  Jason Blood : With it, she can resurrect Camelot and place her son Mordred on the throne.

  Batman : Okay... . how close is she to finding this Philosopher's Stone?

  Jason Blood : Too close.

• Morgaine le Fey : Did Arthur think mere walls could keep us apart?

  Jason Blood : Morgaine, my love, your beauty has possessed me. How I've longed to hold you, to feel you in my arms again.

  Morgaine le Fey : I, too, have dreamt of this moment.

  Jason Blood : [reacting as her fang-like teeth bite and poison him]  But... why?

  Morgaine le Fey : For love, of course. The love of my son, Camelot's new ruler.
