Edward Asner: Granny Goodness

The Ties That Bind

Granny Goodness

Granny Goodness: You think you're so special, Scott. That you're different from Granny's other children. But you're not. If anything, you're just a little... slower. You see, they learned years ago that their lives are meaningless, that hope is a lie. And you've just figured it out.
Young Scott Free: No, you're the liar. There's always hope.
Granny Goodness: You'll never escape.
Young Scott Free: Yes, I will!

Oberon: You've always been this deluded? Or is it just since senility set in?
Granny Goodness: Oh! You wound Granny. But not as much as Granny is going to wound you!

Granny Goodness: Oh, Scott, you didn't let Granny down. When I heard the X Pit had been destroyed, I thought for certain you and dear Kalibak were lost. How did you manage to get out?
Mr. Miracle: [indicating the Flash] Ask him.
The Flash: Trade secret.
Big Barda: Enough of this. Where is Oberon?
Granny Goodness: Ah, yes, that mouthy little pipsqueak was very rude to Granny. And he's going to be taught a lesson.
The Flash: See? What did I tell you? People are so predictable.
[Kalibak shifts into J'onn]
J'onn J'onzz: Try *not* to think about where you've got Oberon hidden.
[reading Granny's mind]
J'onn J'onzz: Darkseid's old palace. I'll guide you.

Oberon: [preparing for one of Scott's escape tricks] Let's hope the train is running late today.
[a train whistle blows, and he and Barda see a train car being carried in by a helicopter]
Big Barda: Leave it to Scott Free to find the newest wrinkles.
Oberon: He's sure given me a few.
[the helicopter drops the train car, which lands on the platform where Scott is]
Big Barda: Scott?
[looking through the wreckage]
Big Barda: Scott!
Mr. Miracle: [a few feet away, unharmed] O, ye of little faith.
Big Barda: [hugging him] Scott, I thought you were dead. You insufferable showboat. I thought you were dead.
Mr. Miracle: When are you and Oberon gonna learn that... hey, where is Oberon?
Granny Goodness: Don't worry, dumpling, he's safe and sound in Granny's loving care. Of course, if you ever want to see the old runt alive again, you'll do exactly as Granny says.

[after reuniting with Oberon, Mr. Miracle opens a boom tube and the heroes depart Apokolips]
Granny Goodness: How? Granny never failed with any of them. How did she fail with him.
[someone taps her shoulder]
Big Barda: Oh, one last thing...
[Barda delivers a ferocious punch that knocks Granny flat and out cold, then smiles and dashes through the closing boom tube]
