Catwoman quotes from Batman: The Animated Series

Catwoman

I am the cat who walks by herself.

Batman

I didn't want you taken away like a common criminal.

Catwoman

So you do care.

Batman

[handcuffing her] More than you'll ever know.

Catwoman

Batman! The antidote! I'll be stuck like this forever!

Would that be so bad? You could stay here, with me.

Catwoman

Oh, Tygrus... I can't live like this, I have to be human again.

Goodbye, Selina.

Catwoman

Wait - won't you come with us? There's nothing for you here.

There's nothing for me anywhere. [disappears into the falling rain]

Batman

[in voiceover] "Tyger Tyger burning bright, in the forests of the night: what immortal hand or eye, dare frame thy fearful symmetry?"

[finds Catwoman trapped under dinosaur bones] Hold it!

Catwoman

[sheepishly] Could you please give me a hand? This dinosaur seems to have fallen on me.

How did you?

Catwoman

It's a dull story, handsome.

Catwoman

What a pleasant surprise. Though I should warn you - breaking and entering is against the law.

Batman

You would know.

Catwoman

That's one way to remove a splinter. What's wrong, Ventriloquist? Cat got your tongue?

Ventriloquist

Please, I never hurt you. Scarface, he's another person, not me, really.

Catwoman

But he's inside you somewhere. And I'm going to keep scratching until I find him.

Batgirl

[catches Catwoman while she was examining the Jade Cat Statue display case] Catwoman, I presume.

Catwoman

Well, well. [throws her cut whip aside] Look what the Bat dragged in.

Batgirl

Give up. I caught you.

Catwoman

Caught me? At what?

Batgirl

Returning to the scene of your crime.

Catwoman

Look... Batgirl, is it? I'm just trying to find out who took the Jade Cat statue. It's an art treasure. It belongs to the world.

Batgirl

[sarcastically] Right. Pull the other one.

Catwoman

[indicating the display case] Look.

Batgirl

Huh? [examines the melted alarm cord] Looks like the alarm cord was eaten through with acid, like the locks on the skylight. So?

Catwoman

That's not my style. No finesse. [unsheathes her claws and cuts a glass circle out of the glass and shows it to Batgirl] See?

Batgirl

Okay. If you're innocent, come down to police headquarters with me and tell them your story.

Catwoman

That's also not my style.

Batgirl

One way or another, you're coming with me.

Catwoman

Bats are just mice with wings, little girl.

Catwoman

Got the note I see.

Batgirl

If this is a trick, Catwoman...

Catwoman

No trick. I just wanted to tell you how impressed I was with you last night. You're smart, and you're fast. I thought maybe you'd like to work together. After all, against the two of us, whoever took the Jade Cat doesn't stand a chance.

Batgirl

Okay. On one condition: if you're lying to me and I find out, you'll give yourself up.

Catwoman

Deal

Batgirl

The Stacked Deck? That's the sleaziest dive in Gotham City.

Catwoman

Exactly. The only place to find information on the Jade Cat job. You're not afraid, are you?

Batgirl

N-no. Of course not. Let's go.

Catwoman

The mouse has guts.

[while pursuing Batgirl and Catwoman on a motorbike] This is unit 7 in pursuit of Catwoman and Batgirl.

Batgirl

Oh, daddy, if you could see your little girl now.

Catwoman

Hang on!

Batgirl

I am!

Batgirl

You could've gotten us killed.

Catwoman

But I didn't.

Batgirl

All that, and we didn't even get the information we were looking for.

Catwoman

Sure we did. You saw the way the chemist freaked when he recognized that acid. I'm willing to bet only one guy in Gotham makes it. An old friend of mine.

Batgirl

Hey, I recognize this place from crime reports. It used to belong to Roland Daggett. This is where he invented the Renuyu drug that turned Matt Hagen into Clayface.

Catwoman

[cuts a circle out of the door's window with her claws] You do know your police cases. This is also where Daggett developed a virus that nearly killed me and my cat.

Catwoman

Aw, it's nice to be right.

Yes, isn't it? Selina Kyle, how pleasant to see you again.

Catwoman

The pleasure is all yours, Daggett. We'll be leaving now.

On the contrary, my dear, you and your lovely young friend here will be staying forever.

Catwoman

[as the thugs tie her and Batgirl's wrists behind their backs] Why take the jade cat, Daggett? There were other more valuable treasures.

Because it's exactly what you would have taken. Also, I need the money to start over. My legal fees after my last encounter with Batman left me broke. The money from this statuette will set me up quite nicely somewhere else while the cops look for a certain feline thief.

Batgirl

You were going to keep that statue all along, weren't you?

Catwoman

[while untying her ankles] Of course. Haven't you learn yet that only the strong survive in this game? [Catwoman unties the bola from her ankles and tosses it to Batgirl, who pockets it in her belt] Okay, I admit it. I was just playing with you at first. But you really impressed me. We make a good team. Together, we can pick this town clean, even Batman wouldn't be a match for us and the cops are a joke especially that senile fool, Gordon.

Batgirl

We had a deal, remember? You lost. [Batgirl grabs Catwoman's arm] Give yourself up now.

Freeze!

Catwoman

Okay, you win. [The officers handcuff Catwoman] And by the way, Batgirl's innocent. She was acting under coercion.

Catwoman

You should've said yes.

Batgirl

If I had, I'd be a rat with wings.

Robin

I knew you had Catwoman on a leash all along.

Batgirl

You're a lousy liar, but thanks for trying.

Robin

Are you guys all right?

Yeah.

Catwoman

[drops the gun out the passenger side door] I said I'd let them take me, but I didn't say how far.

Batgirl

It's okay. There'll be another time.
