Maria Canals-Barrera: Shayera Hol • Chay-Ara Hol • Servant

Ancient History

Shayera Hol • Chay-Ara Hol • Servant

Mari McCabe: You might want to ease up there. Most guys don't go for the ripped, bulky look.
Shayera Hol: Just trying to maintain my girlish figure.
[looks at her chest]
Shayera Hol: My girlish, girlish figure. And why does it always have to be about the guys, anyway?
Mari McCabe: Honey, it's always about the guys. And since I'll be away on that photo shot for a week...
Shayera Hol: Here we go...
Mari McCabe: Well, I'm surprised you haven't made your move before now.
Shayera Hol: I'm still trying to figure out the proper Earth protocol for this situation. It's not like I can just assassinate you in your asleep, or poison your water... I miss Thanagar.
Mari McCabe: I'm just saying. You think you've got a shot, take it. I'm not worried.

John Stewart: Shayera, I haven't been fair to Mari, and I haven't been fair to you. I couldn't figure out how to tell you this, or... even if I should.
Shayera Hol: What?
John Stewart: When Batman and I went to the future, we met a man named Warhawk. He's our son. Yours and mine.
Shayera Hol: ...Our son?
John Stewart: That's why I've been so awkward around you lately. I've been trying to figure out what to do with this knowledge. What is means for our future.
Shayera Hol: Well, what else could it mean?
John Stewart: I won't be destiny's puppet. Whatever the future holds, we'll make those choices ourselves.
Shayera Hol: Don't say you don't love me.
John Stewart: I'll never say that. But, you need to know... I'm staying with Mari.

Shadow Thief: Of course, you recognize the Absorbacron. Despite your best efforts to bury me alive, I managed to retrieve it.
Green Lantern: Where's Vixen?
Shadow Thief: Out of the way. She's not part of this.
Shayera Hol: That machine is Thanagarian technology. It's a telepathic database more complex than anything on Earth, and it's broken.
Hawkman: She might be right. When I touched it before, the feedback...
Shadow Thief: Hush now. Watch and learn.

Shayera Hol: Are you all right?
Green Lantern: [conjuring a splint to brace his broken wrist] Hurts like crazy. But I'll live. Where's Mari?
Shayera Hol: Don't know.
Green Lantern: I've gotta find her. Who knows what that psycho might have...
Shayera Hol: We'll take care of shadow guy. Go.

Vixen: I figure since your boyfriend here...
Shayera Hol: Not my boyfriend.
Vixen: Since Hawkman's tangled with this guy before, he might be able to give us a lead.
[approaching the Midway City Museum, they see a door ajar despite the building being closed]
Vixen: What's wrong with this picture?

Green Lantern: I just ran into your stalker boyfriend, Carter Hall.
Shayera Hol: He's not my boyfriend.
Green Lantern: And he's still talking about you.
Shayera Hol: Yeah, the whole reincarnated lovers from Ancient Egypt bit. Carter's just a little confused.
Green Lantern: He's an obsessed fanboy with wings and an ax.
Shayera Hol: If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were...
Green Lantern: Concerned. The guy's a serious creep.
Shayera Hol: I'm a big girl, John. You know I can take care of myself.
Green Lantern: Yeah, I just... just wanted to give you a heads-up. This isn't about us, Shayera.

Katar Hol: What troubles you, Chay-Ara?
Chay-Ara Hol: Why ask what you already know? I want to bear your child, Katar.
Katar Hol: I don't want to have this conversation again. Why the hurry? You're a young woman. There's plenty of time.
Chay-Ara Hol: 30 or 40 years at most. I'm not a girl anymore.
Katar Hol: You look the same as you did the day I met you. When my work is complete, after I've tamed this savage continent...
Chay-Ara Hol: You'll set out to conquer the rest of the world.
Katar Hol: It's my duty. We owe these people the peace and stability that comes from Thanangarian rule.
Chay-Ara Hol: I'm not arguing that. But you also have a duty to continue your bloodline. Or are you so tired of me that you don't even...
Katar Hol: I love you, Chay-Ara Hol. Nothing will ever change that. It's just that right now, I need to concentrate on...
Bashari: [riding in on a chariot to cheers] Hail, King Katar. Hail, Queen Chay-Ara.
Katar Hol: [flying down to him] Bashari. No need to stand on ceremony, my friend.

Katar Hol: What news do you bring?
Bashari: Victory! The land of Kahndaq has been freed from Ahk-ton's rule and placed under your benevolent protection. As tribute, Teth-Adam sends 100 of the finest stallions on Earth.
Chay-Ara Hol: My husband and I travel on the winds, General. What good are horses to us?
Bashari: I'll show you.
Chay-Ara Hol: [cut to them riding] I begin to see the worth of these beasts, Bashari.
Bashari: I thought you might, my lady, with the right company.
Chay-Ara Hol: [laughing] If you desire my company, you'll have to ride faster.
[urging her horse forward]
Chay-Ara Hol: Hyah!

Shayera Hol: You're Hath-Set. You're the one who poisoned us. I mean...
Shadow Thief: No, my Queen. I think Hawkman knows who I am. I'm your darkest thoughts, your unspeakable desires. I'm you, Katar Hol.
Hawkman: No.
Shadow Thief: When you first touched the Absorbacron, you freed me... to do everything you wanted. You wanted the secrets of Thanagarian technology, I found them for you. You wanted to be a hero, I became an arch-villain for you to vanquish. You want this woman...
[grabbing Shayera's head]
Shadow Thief: I give her to you.
[opening Carter's restraints and pointing at GL]
Shadow Thief: He's the only thing standing between you and a love that spans 8,000 years.
[giving Carter his ax]
Shadow Thief: End it, Katar Hol. Take what you want.
