Ra's al Ghul and Bruce Wayne in “Unfinished Business”

You always were the perfect specimen, Detective. Even old age has not softened you as much as I had feared.

Bruce Wayne

I should have known you'd cheat death again, Ra's.

I don't cheat death, I master it. Though I assure you, this time my longevity comes at a price most dear.

Bruce Wayne

Talia...

I did indeed survive our last battle, but my body was broken far beyond the pit's powers to heal. In order to save my life, I called upon Talia to undertake the ultimate act of loyalty.

Bruce Wayne

[outraged] You sacrificed her! Your own daughter!

I did what I had to do. At the time, this computer could only imprint my thoughts and memories on a close genetic match. But now this youthful form has served its purpose. I must move on to a new host body: yours!

Bruce Wayne

[sarcastically] Sure, Ra's, why not? Anything to hold off the Grim Reaper another few seconds. [contemptuous] I take it back. You don't cheat death - you whimper in fear of it.

SILENCE! [slaps Bruce]

Bruce Wayne

And you hit like a girl.
