GET UP, DINAH! YOU HAVE TO! [ you don't… understand… ] oh, you're down & you're not coming back, huh? you remember batgirl, dinah? a tough honey. tough enough to hang out with the dark knight himself. [ what's that got to do with me..? ] it's got everything to do with me! do you think i like sending out agents to do my dirty work? do you think i get my thrills living vicariously? do you think i don't know hurt? you don't know hurt, sister! i can't get off the mat to take down thugs like lynx on my own but you can. AND BY GOD, YOU WILL because if you don't, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.

you think a dead woman has any influence on who you are? it's the living who shape the world, it's the living who matter. that which survives is all there is. and surviving is hard. surviving costs. survivors create themselves, alone. if you want to survive, you must be tougher than this, tougher than the weakness you inherited from her. all those people who watch you? they want to see you crack like this. they want to know how to break you, so that they can ensure their survival by threatening yours. this is a hungry world. eat or be eaten. someday you'll thank me. but never let them see you like this. never let them see you sweat.
