Took a newspaper editor and shot him in cold blood. They couldn't pin the rap on her, but we know she did it.\
26'''Edith Bromfield:''' Why don't you put her away?\
27'''Mary Marvel:''' We do, but they never stay in for very long. They know so much. They can always cook up a new way of getting out of jail. In the old days, Doc Sivana could even walk through walls. Can you believe that? Even I can't do that.

They always come back, even if they've been beaten, stabbed, shot, burned alive, and beheaded. I won't believe Malefica or the other members of the Terrible Triad are dead until I see their bodies.

152'''Andrew Hussie:''' It means crazy clowns just won't die for some reason. In adventures such as yours, [[TakeThat they tend to linger long past their welcome. They linger and linger and linger, and just when you think you're totally fed up with their bullshit and you can't take another second of it, they just linger some more.
