Quotes 

• Mariposa : Miss Prince's ability to survive dire circumstances is surpassed only by mine!

• Diana Prince : Weren't you supposed to have drowned in the North Sea at the end of our last little encounter?

  Mariposa : Why, you should know that I always have my entrances and my exits carefully choreographed. Why Diana, I had one of my submarines pick me up.

• Bo Taggart : I just wanted to point out that by getting rid of the people we have under surveillance, your hold on the athletes will be weakened.

  Mariposa : Nonsense. Nobody ever runs out of loved ones. Your case may be an exception.

• Nadia : Do you really think I would compete for your country?

  Mariposa : [mouth full of fruit]  Well of course you'll compete, just like the rest. This lovely young couple behind you will see to that. You see, they're champions of quite another sort: assassination.

• Mariposa : [waxing poetic about his new country]  This blessed plot... this earth... this realm... this... Mariposalia! Oh, my country, right or wrong!

  Wonder Woman : Mostly wrong.

• [first lines] 

  Mariposa : [sky-diving]  Enter Mariposa. The good old U.S. of A. The scenery, beautiful as ever. What was it General MacArthur said? "I have returned."

  [maniacal laughter as he twirls in midair] 

  Mariposa : First, as not to spoil my homecoming, I think I'll send a little box of candy to my old friend Diana Prince. Some bomb-bombs.

  [pulls rip-cord, more maniacal laughter as he is swept up] 

• Mariposa : Welcome to Mariposalia.
