->Could it be that I commit my crimes for reasons OTHER than monetary gain? Could it be that I derive pleasure from passing my time in challenges of wit and skill? Could it be that the crime of murder is too mundane, too artless, to satisfy my needs? Could it be that I actually RESPECT The Batman and LOOK FORWARD to our periodic tests? Of COURSE it could. And were I to KILL The Batman - red-letter day aside ... the rest of my days could well be blank boxes. With The Batman dead, would I have any reason to live? And yet ... the money ...

->There was that thing about the Flash: deep down, despite all the aggravation the guy caused them, busting up their surefire crime-plans and sending them back to the joint...\\
...they all kind of liked him.\\
It wasn't really talked about in that way, of course. They still all tried to kill him. After all, he was the freakin' competition. But it was like the affection that builds between cops and petty crooks. Once you get to know the guy that well, if he's a decent sort, it's hard to hate him so much.\\
And the Flash was a decent sort.\\
He seemed to feel the same way about them, too. More than once, he said, "I'm glad I have guys like you to tangle with, and not the Gotham mobs or some megalomaniac like Luthor."

You know what I mean, just a little bit, I, I wouldn't say that we were the ''best'' of friends, you know I would just say that we, uh, I'd say that we're friends. You know, just friends.

->It pleases me to say that in the twilight of their doomed relationship (doomed in the sense that it never quite worked in the way that the writers devised... it never even got close to approaching the [[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine Odo/Quark]] family in adversity vibe) there is something touching to be said about how Tuvok and Neelix feel about each other. They might have annoyed the hell out of each other for seven years but familiarity has bred respect and their "[[IHaveThisFriend hypothetical]]" conversation sees Tuvok aiding Neelix in his plans to save the Talaxians. For Tuvok to say that Neelix is much more than just a cook and that he is one of the most resourceful individuals that he has ever known pulls at the heartstrings because its only during these farewell episodes where all the pretense falls away.
