As an aspiring screenwriter,I would love to apapt THE SUICIDE SQUAD! It's like THE DIRTY DOZEN meets the comics universe. I heard they are planning to do THE A-TEAM! LOL! Instead of that crap they should tackle the wacky characters of The Sucide Squad. It's too bad a lot of people have not heard of this gritty title!

No! Forget it! My favorite quote is "SPLOOTCH!"

My favorite was a random Australian saying that most Aussies believe that Captain Boomerang isn't a real Australian.

In Middle School to shank someone was to pull down their pants on them.

That's... disturbing.

Did Boba Fett actually have any dialogue in Star Wars?

I can see him thinking it, but don't remember him having said anything in any of the movies.

A couple, not so much quotes, but minor moments that have stuck with me: Bronze Tiger's stunned disbelief that the codename Waller invented for him on a mission was "El Tigre Negro." (Her explanation was something like "I didn't want it to be too obvious.") The "Private Lives" piece from one of the annuals, where Waller is giving her daughter and son-in-law a much-needed metaphorical kick in the butt to shape up their marriage; she tells her football player son-in-law something like, "And if you two do not manage to work out your problems, I will quit my job and move in with you and devote myself to making your life a living hell, and you know I can do it!" (Particularly amusing was the fact that Keith Giffen framed the sequence so we only saw the top of Waller's head and the bottom of her son-in-law's chin.)

Once, a couple of years ago, that Captain Cold quote popped into my head, and I couldn't remember where it came from. I went through every Waid Flash with Cold in it and of course couldn't find it because it's not Waid's kind of line. Didn't think of the Squad because Cold wasn't a regular member. Six months later it came to me, and I dug the issue out. It is, of course, the awesomest Captain Cold moment ever.

I enjoyed the Black Adam refusal to deal with enemies in a way other than slaughtering them - "Because that way I don't get to see their blood spurt."

It had a couple of weak moments, but I agree - Ostrander's Suicide Squad was the best comic ever. Although Secret Six is proving to be a worthy successor title....

...and then, Dr. Light raped her. Because he sure does like raping people!

Rick Flagg bowing out with "Say goodbye you sonuva..." is pretty good, but he's got nothing on Boba Fett:
"What the...?"

Scavenger's right; you should make it the Top 11 lines.

I've always enjoyed Rick Flagg's final words before he was killed off, "Say good-bye you sonofa--".

Something to that effect.

not "Bugger....writer's block" leading to the brutal death of Grant Morrison?
