->'''Iroh:''' What do you plan to do now that you've found the [[TheHero Avatar's]] [[TeamPet bison]]? Keep him locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of tea for him?
->'''Zuko:''' First I have to get him out of here.

->'''Linkara:''' After I'm consumed by you, what're you going to do next?
->[[spoiler:'''Missing№:''']] I will spread throughout this universe until it and I are the same-till it and I are the same. From there, I shall do as I have always done: I shall travel from universe to universe and they shall become extensions of my being, simultaneously piece and whole. Every star, every cosmos, every dimension, all things living and dead shall become meee... No empty space, no limit, nothing existing except for me. Existence shall become solely defined by me because I ''am'' existence!
->'''Linkara:''' Oh, [[AndThenWhat and then what're you going to do?]]
->[[spoiler:'''Missing№:''']] [[FlatWhat What.]]
->'''Linkara:''' I was just curious what you intend to do after you finish your goal...
->[[spoiler:'''Missing№:''']] I will exist. Everything will be me.
->'''Linkara:''' Yes, yes we know that part, but what are you going to ''do''? You will exist, [[SarcasmMode neato!]] What're you going to do to pass the time? You will have absorbed -everything-, and I do mean ''everything''. You will not just be the only being in the universe, you will ''be'' the universe! So... whaddaya gonna do -as- the universe? Will you ''create'' things? Well I suppose you wouldn't because creating something would mean it was different from you, and you'd just -reabsorb- it back in anyways... So again, I ask: what are you going to do once you've completed your goal?
->[[spoiler:'''Missing№:''']] Existence is... existence is... important part...
->'''Linkara:''' Yes, but why do you ''want'' that goal?
->[[spoiler:'''Missing№:''']] Everything should... and must... be me... everything should and must be me.
->'''Linkara:''' ''And when everything is you, what are you going to do next!? What is your purpose once your purpose has been fulfilled?! What will be your meaning when you have made the ultimate achievement?! Is 'existing' just an end it itself? Well that can't be it because you're already existing, and therefore already fulfilling that part of it!'' So go ahead and create your kingdom of the Never-Should! Let the Glitch be everything! The distortion the reality! Become everything there is down to the tiniest particle until you are ''literally'' existence itself! In the end, you'll still have the same damned problem: that's there's no challenge left... No Heaven to aspire to, and no Hell to avoid. You will live forever, alone as everything, and ''existence itself'' shall be your prison! All experiences will be a part of you; all possibilities will have been considered and completed. Every life-form, every molecule, every single Should and Never-Should and it will have all been ''done.'' Everything will be you, and everything will be meaningless. And when you ''do'' become existence -- when the definition of existence equals [[spoiler:Missing№]] -- you will scream your shrill hiss and let it vibrate along the totality of your being! When the lie of your existence is laid bare, because there is simply '''nothing else for you to do!'''
->[[spoiler:'''Missing№:''']] You are... confusing me... [[ThatLiarLies You are attempting a deception!]]
->'''Linkara:''' Me? Deceive an Outer God? I sincerely doubt that.

->'''Tsuji:''' A man's worth is judged by how many punks he controls! Tsuji's troops will multiply and multiply and one day reign as the top group of Ragnarok!
->'''Kenichi:''' So what are you going to do when you reign at the top? Once you graduate from high school, you can't be a delinquent anymore. And those punks, as you call them, would have to get jobs too.

->'''Ursa:''' Jor-El should've stood at Zod's side against the Council! He should've helped us slaughter them all after what they did to Non!
->'''Superman:''' And what would the General do ''after'' slaughtering the Council, Ursa? The destruction of the Council would've caused riots. No one would've listened to a thing you said. General Zod had no idea how to save Krypton...
->'''Zod:''' I would have ''found'' a way, Kal-El.
->'''Superman:''' ''What'' way? Tell me how you would have saved our planet. Tell me what you would have done.
->'''Zod:''' You're as much a fool as your father. ''I'' led Krypton's military against Braniac after he disintergrated Kandor! ''I'' decimated the Doomsday terrorists before they unleashed their monster! '''''[[VillainousBreakdown I would have found a way!]]'''''
