Mr. Freeze quotes from Batman: The Animated Series

Mr. Freeze

This is how I'll always remember you. Surrounded by winter forever young, forever beautiful. Rest well, my love. The monster who took you from me will soon learn that revenge is a dish... best served cold.

Mr. Freeze

Think of it, Batman. To never again walk on a summer's day with a hot wind in your face and a warm hand to hold. Oh, yes... I'd kill for that.

Mr. Freeze

I failed you. I wish there were another way for me to say it... but I cannot. I can only beg your forgiveness and pray you hear me somehow, someplace. Someplace... where a warm hand waits for mine.

[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]

[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.

Stop! This is my experiment!

Your unauthorized experiment. I ordered funding suspended weeks ago! I'm already three million in debt thanks to you!

You can't stop it now! My wife is in there!

So bring her out!

You can't interrupt the process now!

[to guard] Open it.

It's her only chance!

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!

[grabs pistol from security guard and aims it at Ferris] NO! Stay away from her, murderer!

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!

[Clinging to his freezing chamber, screaming through the glass] Nora! NORA...! [passes out. The tape ends]

Batman

My God.

Mr. Freeze

Yes. It would move me to tears, if I still had tears to shed. [freezes Batman with his cryo-gun]

Mr. Freeze

The cold eyes of vengeance are upon you, Boyle.

Who...who are you?!

Mr. Freeze

Come, now. Surely you remember your old colleague... Victor Fries?

NO! No...! Stop... please... I... b-beg you! [Mr. Freeze stops his freezing gun]

Mr. Freeze

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.

Mr. Freeze

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!

Summer Gleeson

[walks next to Batman] Ooh...! What was that stuff?

Batman

The only way to fight a cold.

Mr. Freeze

[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]

Do you realize that in your half-frozen state, you will age more slowly than an ordinary human? You're practically immortal, my friend!

Mr. Freeze

Yes, eternal life trapped in this wretched shell. What a miserable joke.

Miserable to you, but a godsend to me! Look at me, Mr. Freeze, I'm an old man. I've created wonders in my lifetime, but there is still so much to do! I want to change as you have. To become, like you, a being of blessed, eternal cold.

Mr. Freeze

You're insane.

Only you know how to duplicate the accident that made you what you are. What I long to become!

Mr. Freeze

You want to live like this? Abandoned and alone? A prisoner in a world you can see but never touch? Old and infirm as you are, I'd trade a thousand of my frozen years for your worst day.

Batman

You can't let Walker do this. Billions of people will perish.

Mr. Freeze

That's not my concern. All that matters is I once again have my wife, and the means to restore her.

Batman

She'll wake up in a dead, frozen world that you helped destroy. She'll hate you for that.

Mr. Freeze

Silence.

Batman

You think you're alone now? Wait until she learns the truth.

Mr. Freeze

I SAID SILENCE! [blasts at Batman and Robin, knocking them backward, turns back to Nora] Forgive me. [frees Batman and Robin] Come, there is much to do.
