Viola Davis: Amanda Waller

Suicide Squad

Amanda Waller

Amanda Waller: [narration] Before she ran off and joined the circus, she was known as Dr. Harleen Quinzel. A psychiatrist at Arkham Asylum. She was assigned to The Clown himself.
The Joker: Dr. Quinzel. You know, I live for these moments with you. What do you got?
Harley Quinn: I got you a kitty.
The Joker: So thoughtful.
Amanda Waller: [narration] She thought she was curing him, but she was falling in love.
The Joker: There is something you could do for me, Doctor.
Harley Quinn: Anything. I mean, yeah.
The Joker: I need a machine gun
Harley Quinn: A machine gun?
Amanda Waller: [narration] Talk about a workplace romance gone wrong.

Amanda Waller: [naration] They became the king and queen of Gotham City. And God help anyone who disrespected the queen.

Amanda Waller: [narrating] And that was just the beginning.
[Joker and Harley drive crazily through Gotham City when Batman starts to follow]
Harley Quinn: Come on, Puddin'. Do it!
The Joker: Oh. We have got company.
Harley Quinn: Batsy, Batsy, Batsy.
Amanda Waller: [narrating] She's crazier than him. And more fearless.
[Batman leaps onto the roof of the car]
Harley Quinn: Stupid Bats, you're ruining date night!
[Harley attempts to shoot Batman through the roof]

Amanda Waller: I wanna build a team of some very bad people, who I think can do some good.

Seals' Admiral Burns: These are villains, Amanda. What makes you think you can control them?
Amanda Waller: Because getting people to act against their own self-interest for the national security of the United States is what I do for a living.

Amanda Waller: It's taken me some work. But I finally have them. The worst of the worst.

Amanda Waller: his is crown jewels here, Mr. Wayne. And you do understand my legal exposure. If anyone knew what I procured for you...
Bruce Wayne: Listen... I can keep a secret, okay? What do you want?
Amanda Waller: People are asking questions about Midway City. The kind of people who can get the answers. And if they can get those answers, my head will be on a pike.
Bruce Wayne: Consider yourself under my protection. If you deliver.
Amanda Waller: [hands him several files regarding metahumans] Why, Mr. Wayne?
Bruce Wayne: Just like to make friends.
Amanda Waller: There's the difference between us. You believe in friendship, I believe in leverage.
Bruce Wayne: Good night.
Amanda Waller: You look tired. You should stop working nights.
Bruce Wayne: You should shut it down, or my friends and I will do it for you.

Amanda Waller: Deadshot... shoot that woman right now!
Deadshot: She ain't do shit to me.
Amanda Waller: You're a hitman, right? I got a contract. Kill Harley Quinn. Do it for your freedom and your kid.
Deadshot: [pause] Now she dead.

Amanda Waller: In a world of flying men and monsters, this is the only way to protect our country.

Amanda Waller: You know what the problem with a metahuman is? The human part. We got lucky with Superman. He shared our values. The next Superman might not.

Rick Flag: You notice these are criminals?
Amanda Waller: Mm-hm.
Rick Flag: They're psychotic anti-social freaks. It makes no sense. Let me hit the tier-one units, and I'll build you a team of pipe-hitters who'll do anything you can dream up. I mean, you need real soldiers, not these scumbags.
Amanda Waller: In World War 2, the US Navy made a deal with the Mafia to protect its ships on the waterfront.
Rick Flag: This ain't World War 2.
Amanda Waller: It's World War 3.

Amanda Waller: The world changed when Superman flew across the sky. And then it changed again when he didn't. And that is why I'm here.

Harley Quinn: [reaction to seeing Waller] No way.
Rick Flag: Let's go home.
Captain Boomerang: Yeah, let's go home. That sounds good. You guys wanna go home? Hmm? Or you wanna go back to prison?
Harley Quinn: I'm not going back to prison.
Captain Boomerang: What I'm saying is we kill the pair of 'em now before they kill us.
Amanda Waller: [holds Katana back] I got this. You all made it this far. Don't get high-spirited on me and ruin a good thing.
Killer Croc: I like her.

Amanda Waller: [about Killer Croc] He looked like a monster. So they treated him like a monster. Then he became a monster.
