Terry McGinnis quotes from Batman Beyond

Bruce Wayne

These late nights too much for you?

Terry McGinnis

The nights aren't tough. It's the mornings.

Bruce Wayne

Back at the cryogenics place, weren't you wondering why Inque didn't morph into her human form and just walk out with the other workers?

Terry McGinnis

Uh, yeah! ...Sort of...

Bruce Wayne

Mind telling me what you're doing?

Terry McGinnis

Sealing up the cracks. Making sure she can't ooze in.

Bruce Wayne

[smiles in amusement] You really think she's coming here, don't you?

Terry McGinnis

She was here before. She knows the way.

Bruce Wayne

Does she? It was dark that night. The Batmobile was going awfully fast. And then there's the way you drive.

Bruce Wayne

Still at it, huh?

Terry McGinnis

She can huff and puff all she wants, but she ain't going to blow this place down.

Bruce Wayne

[having just risked a heart attack to fight Inque] Now do you believe me about why I retired?

Terry McGinnis

Not entirely. But tonight, I'm glad you didn't stay retired.

Barbara Gordon

[sees her old costume in the Batcave] I see you've sewed up the bullet holes.

Terry McGinnis

You're Batgirl! [to Bruce] She's Batgirl!

Terry McGinnis

Why do you hate him?

Barbara Gordon

Ancient history, McGinnis.

Terry McGinnis

So you and Dick Grayson like, dated.

Barbara Gordon

In college. Puppy love. Later on, we just never talked about it.

Terry McGinnis

[eating doughnut] People should communicate more.

Barbara Gordon

Dick finally got fed up living in Batman's shadow. He decided to leave. He was hurt when I chose to stay behind with Bruce.

Terry McGinnis

As his partner. [Gordon's grin widens] His girlfriend? [Gordon's grin widens even further, leaving McGinnis shocked] Whoa!

Barbara Gordon

On the street, it was like ballet. We were the perfect duo.

Terry McGinnis

Why do you hate him so much?

Barbara Gordon

No, I don't hate him. I hate what he's become. Such a great man... so alone.

Terry McGinnis

You should have seen her, Bruce. She sure swings a mean batarang.

Bruce Wayne

[smiles] She always did.

Terry McGinnis

Do you think he was born this way?

Bruce Wayne

Do you remember when Powers was exposed to nerve gas?

Terry McGinnis

Sure, I remember. I threw it.

Bruce Wayne

Powers would have been treated with radiation. That, combined with the gas, may have mutated him into this.

Terry McGinnis

You mean...I made him that?

Bruce Wayne

You may have, in part.

Terry McGinnis

Good.

Terry McGinnis

Hey, this guy had my father murdered and all he's done since is hide from the law. Well, no more hiding for Mr. Derek Powers. Now everyone can see him for what he is...Even in the dark.

Dr. Abel Cuvier

I want to assure everyone that splicing is safe, reversible, and more importantly, utterly beautiful. I was the first test subject, and as you can see, I'm perfectly fine.

Terry McGinnis

Perfectly creepy is more like it.

Bruce Wayne

Cuvier would be deadlier than ever now that he is being hunted. [He sees a claw on Terry's costume] What's this? Hmm?

Terry McGinnis

One of Cuvier's claws. Too bad we can't use it to find him.

Bruce Wayne

We can't. [They turned to see Ace staring at them]

Bruce Wayne

Interesting.

Terry McGinnis

"Interesting?" That's all you can say? It was unbelievable!

Bruce Wayne

A word I rarely use.

Bruce Wayne

What did you find out from your friend Jackie?

Terry McGinnis

Not much, only that Wallace isn't her real father.

Bruce Wayne

Not her father. Now that's interes...um, promising.
