Terry McGinnis quotes from Batman Beyond

Terry McGinnis

What happened to your accent?

Kairi Tanaga

It helps sell fish.

Max Gibson

Eel juice?

Terry McGinnis

And brown rice and tofu.

Max Gibson

Mmm, tasty.

Terry McGinnis

Bruce is sending me to this old guru to brush up on my martial arts.

Max Gibson

Shway! You know, I could use some new moves myself. Ha! Hi-ya! You think this new guru could...?

Max Gibson

Never mind.

Terry McGinnis

No fair!

Kairi Tanaga

Fair? The only fair around here is in September. Deal with it!

Bruce Wayne

Don't blame yourself.

Terry McGinnis

Why not? It's my fault.

Bruce Wayne

I know, but blaming's not productive.

Terry McGinnis

[panting] Hi, Max. Sorry I'm late.

Max Gibson

What new threat was it this time? Root-rot-man?

Terry McGinnis

[still panting] This time it really was Mr. Wayne. He needed a ride. His back again. Where's Dana?

Max Gibson

She got tired of waiting for you. Sounds like an old song, doesn't it?

Nelson Nash

Well if it isn't Mr. School Spirit.

Don't worry, McGinnis, Batman filled in for ya.

Terry McGinnis

What was that about?

Max Gibson

I...um...made a little joke.

Terry McGinnis

What kind of little joke?

Max Gibson

Just somethin' about how this school sees more of Batman than it does of you. [Terry glares at her] I know, it it wasn't that funny.

Terry McGinnis

Max!

Max Gibson

I'm sorry, okay?

Terry McGinnis

You can't even joke about this, understand?!

Max Gibson

It just slipped out. And I don't get what the big deal is anyway. If a few more people knew your secret, especially a certain girlfriend, life might be a lot easier for you.

Terry McGinnis

Oh yeah, just like with the Diaz kid, remember how easy that got. [Max looks questioningly at him] Come on, it was all over the net.

Max Gibson

The net's a big place, McGinnis.

Terry McGinnis

It happened right after I started being Batman. There was this kid, Miguel Diaz. Around the same age as my brother. He was ganzo over the new action-figure, Soldier Sam.

Max Gibson

So the kid got on TV and told the whole world how he saw you without your mask?

Terry McGinnis

Yep.

Max Gibson

And the old man, he saw the report?

Terry McGinnis

How could he not, it was the news bite of the day.

Max Gibson

The cops were Kobra agents?

Terry McGinnis

Yeah, they must have figured I would be watching over Miguel, so they set up a distraction. The old man never would have fallen for it.

Max Gibson

Hey, don't put yourself up. You were just starting out, remember?

Terry McGinnis

And I walked right into it.
