Scenes with Batman 108
[clapping] Bravo. Bravo. You've caused me great distress, you evil bat, yes, yes, yes, you have. You've hurt my pretty pets, and you've frightened my beloved children.
Batman"Beloved children"?!
Yes. I feed them, I clothe them, I discipline them, and I teach them a trade. And now, I will teach you something!
[He stamps on Batman's hands, but Batman swings under the pipe and kicks him from behind, causing him to fall off]
Batman
Grab my hand!
[He falls into the water, where the alligators close in and seemingly devour him]
Batman
A gruesome fate for a gruesome man.
[He hears the Sewer King laughing, and sees him with the alligators, unharmed]
I rather enjoyed it! I told you, they're my pretties! [pets one, laughing] Have a nice swim!
[Batman swings over to chase him, narrowly missing the alligators' jaws]
Batman
Later.
[Batman pulls the Sewer King out of the way of an oncoming train]
Batman
I don't pass sentence. That's for the courts. But this time - this time - I am sorely tempted to do the job myself!
[after Batman grapples up a crane with Officer Montoya to safety]
Batman
Are you alright?
[Machine gun bullets hit around Batman and Officer Montoya, causing both of them to duck]
Batman
Then don't go away.
MOfficer Montoya
[Batman leaves as more machine gun bullets hit. Montoya stays down] Count on it.
[In a nightmare, Harvey is being chased by a dark shadow. He suddenly realizes he is standing on a collapsing wooden bridge]
Stay back! [the shadow reveals itself to be Batman]
Batman
Harvey, please, let me help you!
You?! You saw what was happening! You knew that something was terribly wrong with me! I thought you were my friend! You should have been able to help me--but you didn't! [Harvey covers his face with his two hands, now transformed into Two-Face]
Batman
But I tried, Harvey. I... [the bridge pulls itself apart, causing Two-Face to fall off] Harvey!
[Plummets into an abyss of glowing red light] WHY COULDN'T YOU SAVE ME...?!!
[Batman looks down the edge and gasps. He sees his late parents Thomas and Martha Wayne]
TWThomas Wayne
Why couldn't you save us, son?
[Bruce wakes up. He then turns to a photo of Two-Face from a newspaper]
So what are you dreaming tonight, Harvey? Peaceful dreams? Nightmares? Maybe both at once. Sleep well, my friend. Whether you are, whatever you've become... I will save you. I swear.
[Two-Face grabs a tommy gun and aims at Thorne]
No! Two-Face, don't! [to Batman] You can't let him!
GGrace
Harvey! What are you doing?!
Taking control of my life.
Batman
Let the law handle it.
"The law"?! [takes out his coin] Here's the only law! The law of averages! The great equalizer!
[Two-Face flips the coin, but Batman throws out a crate of other coins, and Two-Face's is lost among them as they spill out]
NO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! [searches through them] My coin! Where is it?! I can't decide without...! Oh no, it's gotta be here, it's gotta! I HAVE TO HAVE IT!!!
GGrace
It's all right now, Harvey. I'm here.
[after Penguin's goons successfully steal a Fabergé egg on a tall building]
G1Goon 1
A piece of cake, just like the boss said.
G2Goon 2
Yeah, all it took was five minutes. [Batman makes his surprise appearance to the goons]
Batman
And that'll get you five years...with good behavior.
GMrs. Grant
Young man, you've got some serious explaining to do. [sees Batman and the defeated Penguin and gasps]
SSherman
Err, Mom, I'd like you to meet Batman. Batman, this is my mom.
Batman
Ma'am.
SSherman
Say, Batman, you wouldn't be single, would you?
[Batman infiltrates an office in GothCorp headquarters and sees a classified file with a videotape and medical records of a woman named Nora Fries. He plays the tape on a nearby VCR]
VFVictor Fries
[on the tape] My name is Doctor Victor Fries. I am recording what I pray would be mankind's first step toward immortality. [camera pans to a large machine with a glass capsule and a woman inside it] Behind me, you see the CC-100, a cryogenic freezing chamber of my own design. I created it for the express purpose of freezing subjects stricken with inoperable ailments. Subjects like... my own beloved wife, Nora. Once a remedy has been found-- [reacts to a loud banging on the door]
FBFerris Boyle
[Behind the door] Open this door! Open it now! [A security guard kicks the door down, Ferris and another guard step into the room. Boyle confronts Fries angrily.] Get away from that equipment! [Orders his guards] Shut this stuff down.
FFries
Stop! This is my experiment!
BBoyle
Your unauthorized experiment. I ordered funding suspended weeks ago! I'm already three million in debt thanks to you!
FFries
You can't stop it now! My wife is in there!
FFries
You can't interrupt the process now!
BBoyle
[to guard] Open it.
FFries
It's her only chance!
BBoyle
This is MY equipment! MINE! I have every legal right to use it or not use it as I see fit. I say this project ends now!
FFries
[grabs pistol from security guard and aims it at Ferris] NO! Stay away from her, murderer!
BBoyle
Victor... I'm sorry... I lost my temper. It doesn't have to come to this. We can talk! [Fries calms down and Boyle kicks him into a table of cryonic chemicals. Victor screams in pain as the cloud of volatile chemicals engulf him. Boyle runs out of the room with his guards] Get out! Get out!
FFries
[Clinging to his freezing chamber, screaming through the glass] Nora! NORA...! [passes out. The tape ends]
Batman
My God.
[A voice rings out--it's Mr. Freeze, who just snuck in the room]
Yes. It would move me to tears, if I still had tears to shed. [freezes Batman with his cryo-gun]
[Mr. Freeze raids the award ceremony and confronts Ferris Boyle, who is receiving a humanitarian award]
The cold eyes of vengeance are upon you, Boyle.
FBFerris Boyle
Who...who are you?!
Come, now. Surely you remember your old colleague... Victor Fries?
[Mr. Freeze aims and fires his freezing gun at Boyle's feet, ice slowly covering up his legs to his waist]
BBoyle
NO! No...! Stop... please... I... b-beg you! [Mr. Freeze stops his freezing gun]
You... beg? In my nightmares I see my Nora behind the glass, begging to me with frozen eyes. How I've longed to see that look frozen on you.
[Batman batarangs Mr Freeze's cryo-gun and attacks him. Mr Freeze overpowers Batman and throws him off]
The advanced circuitry that powers my suit also triples my strength. [engages Batman, and lifts him off the ground] Sooner or later, all who stand in my way must feel the icy touch of death!
[Mr. Freeze is about to kill Batman, but collapses when Batman smashes his glass helmet with a thermos full of chicken soup given to him by Alfred earlier]
[walks next to Batman] Ooh...! What was that stuff?
Batman
The only way to fight a cold.
[as his suit falters] It can't end this way... vengeance...!
Batman
No, justice. A year ago, Ferris Boyle interrupted an experiment, and in the process destroyed two lives. [gives Summer Gleeson the tape he found] Here's the evidence. [to Boyle] Good night, humanitarian. [walks off]
Batman
You're late.
MBMob Boss
Can't you walk up to someone normal-like?
Batman
I hear you have some information.
MBMob Boss
Under one condition: Lay off the South Side.
Batman
Keep this up, and I'll be on you from all sides. North, south, east, and west.
Batman
Red Claw? A woman?
RCRed Claw
Do you have a problem with that, Batman?
Batman
Not at all. I'm an equal opportunity crime fighter.
Batman
I didn't want you taken away like a common criminal.
Batman
[handcuffing her] More than you'll ever know.
Batman
Ventrix, the suit! It's poison!
VVentrix
So what if it is?! I don't care! As long as I have it, I can take my daughter back whenever I want! Her mother won't stop me, AND NEITHER WILL YOU!
STSimon Trent
[Hands Batman a film reel with the key the mystery] Here's your answer, take it and go!
Batman
I used to admire what the Gray Ghost stood for...
STSimon Trent
I'm not the Gray Ghost!
Batman
[coldly] I can see that now.
Batman
Listen up, scumwad, 'cause I'm only gonna ask you once. Who was Lucius Fox meeting at the tram?
RBRaymond Bell
Wayne! Bruce Wayne!
Batman
You lying sleaze! You wanna rethink that answer?
