Quotes 

• Regan Matthews : [points gun at Green Arrow]  There's a reason cowboys won the West. Playing with bows and arrows can only get you so far.

  [Aquaman swims up from under the icy water and tosses Regan onto a pile of crates] 

  Green Arrow : Nice toss... for a fish out of water.

• Regan Matthews : It's a shame that Lex couldn't be here to see this. The elusive band of terrorists finally in captivity.

  Dinah Lance : Lex was never able to find us. How did his Bozo zookeeper get so lucky?

  Regan Matthews : Luck has nothing to do with it, Miss Lance. I have a new secret weapon. You weren't up there scouring the Arctic for Lex. You were searching for someone else. The Traveler.

  Arthur Curry : Who's that, some frequent flyer?

  Regan Matthews : He's an alien. He knows what happened to Lex. Who is he?

  Arthur Curry : Look, the only reason we headed up to that winter wonderland was to find Lex.

  Regan Matthews : You're lying through your gills, Mr. Curry.

• [first lines] 

  Tess Mercer : [entering tent]  Who is Regan? What have you been doing, all this time, building snowmen?

  Regan Matthews : Who do you think you are? This site is off limits.

  Tess Mercer : Tess Mercer. My access is unrestricted. Per Lex's written instructions, I'm now the acting C.E.O. of LuthorCorp and all its subsidiaries.

  Regan Matthews : You're nothing but an obscure Regional V.P. You actually think you're qualified?

  Tess Mercer : Lex believes it... and that's all that matters. I want a complete inventory of everything you've found. Footprint, snowmobile tracks, any sign of escape.

  Regan Matthews : Escape?

  Tess Mercer : Trust me, Lex Luthor didn't meet his end at some dwindling ice cap.

• Tess Mercer : What's the news from your elves at the North Pole?

  Regan Matthews : Satellites picked up an encoded communication signal from the group that attacked us.

  Tess Mercer : Well, they're not the only ones that are good at concealing information. Don't you remember, your little journey up north in the LuthorCorp jet right before Lex disappeared?

  Regan Matthews : I honored Mr. Luthor's request for absolute discretion.

  Tess Mercer : Have you been searching for Lex or are you just covering your own tracks?

  Regan Matthews : I did my homework on you. Girl who taught herself to read in a Louisiana swamp house, got into Harvard at fifteen, goes deep sea diving in her spare time. But I don't give a damn about any of it. Nobody questions my loyalty.

  Tess Mercer : If I ever discover that someone withheld information that could help me find Lex, I'd be forced to respond accordingly.

  Regan Matthews : Are you threatening me?

  Tess Mercer : Just giving you an opportunity to keep your job. I suggest you find Lex, or you will be summarily terminated.
