Deadshot: You're slow, Zoom. In the old days, you never needed help. What's the problem?
Zoom: You might say everything. [unmasks himself to reveal a gaping bullet hole in his head; Harley gags]
Deadshot: Nice shot.
Zoom: It was Batman. In another timeline. Can't say that I blame him. Thanks to me, his entire world was going to die. Only Flash could turn back time, and I was damned if I was gonna let that happen. I never saw it coming... but I felt it. I tried to vibrate my inner molecules to save my brain even as the bullet was tearing through. And in that moment, that very infintesimal split-second before death, I drew the Speed Force into me with every ounce of willpower I had left. I literally bought time. I'd expanded my moment of dying into days, maybe weeks... but it's like operating in a fog. Everything's a little unreal, and warped. I feel like I'm walking through water sometimes, and then when I speed up, I can feel my life slipping away. I'm running on fumes now... but I've got just enough gas left for this.

Dell Conagher: There she is, the Mark Five. Now she'll run lean, probably a quarter of the Australium that the Mark Four was gobblin' up. But I'll be honest with ya, we're just kickin' the can down the road here. When it runs out... well...
The Administrator: When it runs out, I will die. Your family has already given me more time than any of us deserves, Mister Conagher. I don't need much more, just enough to settle an old debt.
