[about his school psychologist work being underappreciated] For years, I fought the demons in the heads of those ungrateful little snots! While their coddling parents paid their garbage men more than me! Now I'm taking what I've earned!
S1 E15Unfinished Business
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?
Uh, yeah! ...Sort of...
Maybe you'd like to wash up, then?
No thanks.
You know, you were in that storm drain for a pretty long time, and-
I don't like water, understand?!
Someday, you're going to tell me the real reason why you stopped being Batman.
[Terry seals the entrance to the cave to stop Inque getting in]
Mind telling me what you're doing?
Sealing up the cracks. Making sure she can't ooze in.
[smiles in amusement] You really think she's coming here, don't you?
She was here before. She knows the way.
Does she? It was dark that night. The Batmobile was going awfully fast. And then there's the way you drive.
Still at it, huh?
She can huff and puff all she wants, but she ain't going to blow this place down.
You got away?
[as he approaches Terry, he's constricted by an inky tentacle as Terry morphs into Inque]
He didn't get away. And neither will you.
[having just risked a heart attack to fight Inque] Now do you believe me about why I retired?
Not entirely. But tonight, I'm glad you didn't stay retired.
I heard the D.A.'s office is plea-bargaining the Densmore case. Do you know how hard my men worked to...?
Uh-uh-uh, no shop talk after hours. You want to discuss my shortcomings as a D.A., call my office and make an appointment, Commissioner.
[kisses her]
[after seeing Curare cut through a steel lamppost with her sword] I gotta get me one of those swords.
[sees her old costume in the Batcave] I see you've sewed up the bullet holes.
You're Batgirl! [to Bruce] She's Batgirl!
You were taught to expect the unexpected, Curare. Batman should not have made a difference, nor the police, no matter how many there were. You know the price of failure. I only hope you haven't lost your edge.
Why do you hate him?
Ancient history, McGinnis.
So you and Dick Grayson like, dated.
In college. Puppy love. Later on, we just never talked about it.
[eating doughnut] People should communicate more.
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.
As his partner. [Gordon's grin widens] His girlfriend? [Gordon's grin widens even further, leaving McGinnis shocked] Whoa!
On the street, it was like ballet. We were the perfect duo.
Why do you hate him so much?
No, I don't hate him. I hate what he's become. Such a great man... so alone.
