Scenes with Batgirl 9
[after Batgirl defeated Joker, Penguin and Two-Face, she races over to Batman and helps him up]]
BatgirlAre you all right?
[Batman holds Batgirl close to him, and just as they were about to kiss, Dick's voice comes out of Batman's mouth]
Barbara! Hey, Babs! [Barbara wakes up from her dream] Yo, bookworm! You up there?
All work and no play, you know. Come on, let's do a pizza run.
[sheepishly] Love to, but I can't. If I don't ace these midterms, dad says he'll throw me in jail. And with my dad, that's no idle threat.
Batgirl
[catches Catwoman while she was examining the Jade Cat Statue display case] Catwoman, I presume.
[Catwoman turns and sees Batgirl behind her. After a pause, Catwoman swipe kicks Batgirl off her feet, but she somersaults to her feet. Catwoman goes to attack her with her whip and Batgirl cuts the whip with her Batarang]
Well, well. [throws her cut whip aside] Look what the Bat dragged in.
Batgirl
Give up. I caught you.
Batgirl
Returning to the scene of your crime.
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.
[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?
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.
That's also not my style.
Batgirl
One way or another, you're coming with me.
Bats are just mice with wings, little girl.
Batgirl
If this is a trick, 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.
[Batgirl and Catwoman shake hands]
[Batgirl and Catwoman look down at the Stacked Deck from atop a building]
Batgirl
The Stacked Deck? That's the sleaziest dive in Gotham City.
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.
1Officer #1
[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 and Batgirl head toward an incomplete section of the bridge]
Batgirl
I am!
[Catwoman and Batgirl leap over the gap and land on the other side]
Batgirl
You could've gotten us killed.
Batgirl
All that, and we didn't even get the information we were looking for.
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 and Catwoman arrived at the old Daggett factory]
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.
[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.
[Batgirl and Catwoman enter the darkened building, and walked into an office where a safe is stored. Catwoman places a stethoscope over her ears and uses it to listen to the safe's lock, and she unlocks it, and finds the Jade Cat statue inside]
Aw, it's nice to be right.
[as Catwoman grabs the Jade Cat, a spotlight turns on, revealing Daggett and his thugs]
Yes, isn't it? Selina Kyle, how pleasant to see you again.
The pleasure is all yours, Daggett. We'll be leaving now.
[Batgirl and Catwoman start to leave]
On the contrary, my dear, you and your lovely young friend here will be staying forever.
[Daggett's two thugs walk up to Batgirl and Catwoman, who stare at them with wide eyes]
Batgirl
So what are you going to do? Leave us over one of these vats with acid burning through the rope?
[Laughs] If there's one thing I've learned over the years, it's that you crime-fighting types are very resourceful. So, I'll just have my men shoot you and throw your bodies in the vats.
[Batgirl stops Catwoman escaping with the Jade Cat Statue by throwing a bolas around her ankles]
Batgirl
You were going to keep that statue all along, weren't you?
[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.
[Catwoman raises her left claw to strike Batgirl, when two police officers climb up on a ladder]
Okay, you win. [The officers handcuff Catwoman] And by the way, Batgirl's innocent. She was acting under coercion.
[Catwoman is placed in the back with a squad car]
Batgirl
If I had, I'd be a rat with wings.
I knew you had Catwoman on a leash all along.
Batgirl
You're a lousy liar, but thanks for trying.
[Just then, the two officers are thrown out of their squad car. Robin and Batgirl race over to them]
[The officer finds his holster empty, and the squad car stops with Catwoman at the wheel]
[drops the gun out the passenger side door] I said I'd let them take me, but I didn't say how far.
[Catwoman closes the door and drives off in the squad car. Robin races after her, but Batgirl grabs his cape and stops him]
[Last lines of the series]
Batgirl
It's okay. There'll be another time.
