Quotes

SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : [as Darkseid is leaving] Go on, you mangy buzzards! And don't come back!
Darkseid : [turns around to face Superman] Savor your moment of triumph, Superman. But remember victory has its price.
[fires an Omega Beam and kills Turpin]

Darkseid : People of Earth, I am Darkseid! Lord of Apokolips!
[gestures to Superman]
Darkseid : Here is your savior, bound and broken! I have crushed him as easily as I have crushed all who have dared to oppose me throughout the cosmos. I am power unlike any you have known! Absolute, infinite, and unrelenting! You have no choice but to prepare for a long, dark future as my subjects... and my *slaves*.
SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : In a pig's eye!
Crowd : Yeah!
[Darkseid glowers at the crowd]
SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : This is our world, ugly! You won't get it without a fight!
Superman : You hear that Darkseid? The people on Earth aren't like your slaves on Apokolips. They don't take kindly to dictators.
Darkseid : If they resist, I will not hesitate to destroy them.
SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : You wanna piece of me? C'mon! C'mon Rockhead!
[Turpin tackles one of Darkseid's minions while Maggie and her fellow officer watch on television]
Officer : Geez! Is he crazy?
Maggie Sawyer : Yeah.
[Cut back to the scene on the street]
Darkseid : They know this is suicide.
Superman : Better a quick death in battle than a slow one under your heel!
Kalibak : Darkseid! We have detected military aircraft heading this way!
SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : [Gathers minion's electric spear] I don't care how many crummy planets you've conquered! You ain't getting this one!
[Turpin heaves the spear and frees Superman's left arm, allowing him to break the rest of his restraints as well]
Kalibak : No!
[Kalibak attacks Superman but is easily defeated]
SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : That's one for the home team!
Superman : [turns to Darkseid] Let's finish it!
Darkseid : Very well! This world dies now!

Professor Hamilton : The radioactive hole is now only a few hundred meters deep. But that's going to increase, and quickly.
SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : Shouldn't you be paging your new best friend the buckethead?
Superman : I was just thinking about Orion.
[activating the communicator, it fritzes out]
SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : What's the matter?
Superman : [inspecting it with his x-ray vision] Fried. Must have been the pulse from the explosion. We're on our own now.
Professor Hamilton : If the reactor melts through the top mantle, we'll never stop it.

SCU Lt. Daniel 'Dan' Turpin : Hey, you overgrown parakeet!
