Quotes:

Billy Batson: Holy moley! Is this all for me, Mr. Kent?::Clark Kent: Since you ate two breakfasts yesterday, I thought I'd better order you three today!

Clark Kent: What's that on your face?::Billy Batson: [bruises on his cheek] Eh, it's what you get for trying to do good. Should've just kept my mouth shut.

Black Adam: [to Billy] I was not expecting a child. But you are marked by the Wizard's energy, chosen to one day inherit the mantle of power.::Billy Batson: I-I don't understand. What do you want from me?::Black Adam: Your life.

Black Adam: You fight for the Wizard?::Superman: I fight for those you can't fight for themselves!

Black Adam: Indeed, you are my physical match. But I sense one critical difference: a vulnerability to magic.::[hurls lightning at Superman]::Superman: [blasts Black Adam] Another difference: heat vision.

Shazam: I was hoping this moment could wait until you were a bit older. Alas, the threat is upon us now, Billy Batson.::Billy Batson: You know my name?::Shazam: Oh, I know many things. For I am the Wizard, Shazam.::Billy Batson: Whoa.

Black Adam: I did not spend 5,000 years traveling across the infinite void of space to be thwarted by some man-child.::Superman: Will a superman do, then?

Superman: So you're what this is all about.::Captain Marvel: I'm his replacement.::Superman: Then let's replace him.

Black Adam: [grabs a woman from her car] Is this who I was to protect? Why, because they are weak?::Captain Marvel: Put her down!::Black Adam: When you crush an ant beneath your foot, do feel remorse? No. Is this because you are evil or because you recognize yourself as a higher form of life? This is what the Wizard could not understand. If I have the powers of the gods, then I am not a god myself? Should I not be treated as such?::Captain Marvel: Put her down!::Black Adam: You want to be a protector? Then protect the soul. Revert to your mortal form and I will prove a benevolent deity.::Captain Marvel: And then you'll just kill me.::Black Adam: I will.::Captain Marvel: Shazam. [turns into Billy]::Billy Batson: Now put her down.::Black Adam: See? Like an ant.::[Black Adam throws woman into the sky]::Billy Batson: No! Shaz...::Black Adam: [covers Billy's mouth] Your last breath wasted on the wrong word.

Superman: Easy there. You've got him.::Black Adam: It changes you, does it not? The power.::Captain Marvel: It only changes that I can choose my own fate now.::Black Adam: Like a god, maybe.::Superman: That's enough.::Captain Marvel: No, I have to. To protect them.::Superman: How? By being like him?::Captain Marvel: By being stronger than him.::Superman: Then be strong. Be good.

Quotes:

Lex Luthor: [to Superman] I can't think of a morning I haven't woken up with the thought of strangling you. That sanctimonious image of yours fooled everyone except me. Because I know evil.

Lex Luthor: You can't touch me. We're on American soil now. And I am the president.::Superman: Consider yourself impeached.

Batman: You're going to go and meet with him, aren't you?::Superman: You know me too well. I can't just stand back and do nothing.::Batman: Well, when it all goes south, don't count on me to save you.::Superman: I won't. I know you pretty well too.

Batman: The kryptonite is near your heart. I don't know if I'll get it before the wound closes.::Superman: Where's The Flash when you need him?::Batman: Do me a favor and lose the sense of humor.::Superman: Do us both a favor and buy one.

Superman: Why is it that good villains never die?::Batman: Clark, what the hell are good villains?

Superman: Mongul wasn't his usual talkative self.::Batman: And Grundy sounded like William F. Buckley.

Batman: I suppose it's useless to tell you to leave.::Superman: I wouldn't miss this for anything.::Batman: Your funeral.::Superman: Already had one.

Superman: It doesn't take the wisdom of Solomon to know you should stay down.::Superman: Tell me something, Captain Marvel. Would Solomon have gone to work for Lex Luthor?

Captain Marvel: [to Superman] You know, you've never been any good against magic. And magic's what I'm all about.

Toyman: [referring to rocket] Oh, one other thing. Back when I designed it, I was way into hero worship.::Superman: You are absolutely sure this is going to work?::Toyman: Does Power Girl have big...?::Batman: Just feed it the numbers, kid.

My ma is sick, and I'm raising my brother and sister, and were gonna get evicted tomorrow and my father's in jail and my grandma croaked and they wouldn't burry my grandma until I come up with the money.::Captain Marvel: Alright. Here. Keep the change.

The Riddler: Gentlemen, we've had our fun, the game is done The heroes we've outclassed; it proves what we've always said: nice guys finish last.

Esther Hall, Hawkman's mother: You think it's easy? I run into people at the super market, they tell me my son's a doctor, my son's an accountant. How do I tell them my son's a Hawkman?

Esther Hall, Hawkman's mother: I mean what do I know from birds? But I tell you this: a homing pigeon he's not

Quotes:

Opening crawl: In a remote section of Siam, near the Burmese border, lies a desolate, volcanic land which has for centuries been taboo to white men - The Valley of Tombs! To this realm of mystery, jealously guarded by native tribes unconquered since the dawn of time, has come the Malcolm Archaeological Expedition to find the lost secret of the Scorpion Dynasty.

[first lines]::[sound of a huge gong omninously echoes down the valley]::Billy Batson: What's that, Mr. Howell?::Howell [Ch. 1]: I don't know, Billy - let's find out. What do you make of that cymbal, Malcolm?::John Malcolm: I don't know, Howell. Does it mean anything to you, Tal Chotali?::Tal Chotali: The men of the hills are gathering. The cymbal says that the white men are to be driven from the Valley of Tombs.

Tal Chotali: What causes this attack?::Rahman Bar [Ch. 1,11-12]: The legend, Towana. The white man shall not desecrate the Valley of Tombs.::Tal Chotali: That is not the true legend. When there is desecration, Scorpio will erupt.::[Tal Chotali gestures towards a smoking volcano]::Tal Chotali: See for yourself, there is no eruption. You have spilled blood without reason. Return to your people and counsel them to await a sign from Scorpio!::Rahman Bar [Ch. 1,11-12]: I will do as you say, Toawana. The true legend must not be violated. But the white men must leave. There is a curse that says that any white man who enters the Valley of Tombs shall die.

Tal Chotali: The chief warns us that no permit can protect us from the curse of the Scorpion if we enter the inner tomb.

[On the inner tomb, the archeologists discover a carving of a Scorpion with ancient writing surrounding it]::John Malcolm: Why, there's an inscription here! Can you translate it, Tal Chotali?::Tal Chotali: Why, yes, I can translate it. It say, "Let what reposes behind this stone remain hidden from the eyes of mankind... for all time."

Shazam [Ch. 1]: I am Shazam.::Billy Batson: My name is...::Shazam [Ch. 1]: All is known to me. Your name is Billy Batson. You did not pry into the secret of the Scorpion. That is why I am here.::Billy Batson: But where did you come from?::Shazam [Ch. 1]: Out of the past, my son. Down through the ages to guard the secret of the Scorpion.

Shazam [Ch. 1]: It is your duty to see that the Curse of the Scorpion is not visited upon innocent people.::Billy Batson: My duty?::Shazam [Ch. 1]: Yes, so long as the Golden Scorpion can fall into the hands of selfish men, it is the duty of Captain Marvel to protect the innocent from its evil use.::Billy Batson: But who is Captain Marvel?::Shazam [Ch. 1]: You are, my son. All that is necessary is to repeat my name, Shazam. By its repetition, you will become Captain Marvel and take on the virtues you see recorded there. [He points to a marble carving] The wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the great courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury. You must never call upon this power except in the service of right. To do so will bring the Scorpion's curse upon your own head. And now my son, repeat my name and return to the rescue of your friends.::Billy Batson: SHAZAM!

[handing the Scroll of the Scorpion to Billy]::Tal Chotali: And Billy, this is for you to guard. Guard it well. It contains a precious... and a dangerous secret.

Scorpion: The discovery he is referring to concerns the five lenses that fit into the arms of the Golden Scorpion you see before you. With the lenses in place, the sun's rays can be utilized to change inert material into powerful explosives and to turn base metals into gold. Whoever controls this device will have power such as men have dreamed of since the beginning of time.::Barnett [Ch. 2-10]: And it's my job to get the lenses. Tell me who's got them and I'll get to work.::Scorpion: Oh, it won't be so easy, Barnett. The lenses were divided among the scientists who have hidden them carefully.::Barnett [Ch. 2-10]: But you are one of these men. That's gonna help us!::Scorpion: Naturally. We're holding a meeting at Professor Malcolm's house today. I want you to see that Henry Carlyle does not arrive at that meeting. His lens is the first point of attack.
