Rupert Thorne quotes from Batman: The Animated Series

Rupert Thorne

You think you iced the Batman, huh? Heh heh heh... Not on your best day, Jake. I'd cover my back if I were you.

Dent

Stealing someone's psychiatric file is pretty low, Thorne! Even for a swine like you!

Rupert Thorne

But it makes for such fascinating reading. Listen to this, boys. Says here that when Harvey was a little boy, he was bothered by a bully. Every day the bully would bug him after school, until one day little Harvey got so mad, he slugged him one.

Oooh.

Rupert Thorne

Of course, the bully ran away, which made little Harvey very proud. Until he heard that the bully was in the hospital.

That was some punch.

Rupert Thorne

[chuckles] That's what Harvey thought. Except the guy was in the hospital for appendicitis. [chuckles again] But poor Harvey felt so guilty, he never showed his anger again. And that was the start of "Big Bad Harv".

Dent

What do you want?

Rupert Thorne

Just a few favors from the D.A.'s office.

Dent

You're dreaming.

Rupert Thorne

Otherwise, as a concerned citizen, I'd be compelled to give this to the press. After all, the people of Gotham have a right to know the kind of person... or should I say "persons", they've elected. So, what do you say, Harvey? Do we have a deal?

Dent

There's just one problem.

Rupert Thorne

What's that?

Dent

[in Big Bad Harv's voice] You're talking to the wrong Harvey.

Rupert Thorne

No! Two-Face, don't! [to Batman] You can't let him!

Harvey! What are you doing?!

Two-Face

Taking control of my life.

Batman

Let the law handle it.

Two-Face

"The law"?! [takes out his coin] Here's the only law! The law of averages! The great equalizer!

Two-Face

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!!!

It's all right now, Harvey. I'm here.

Batman

Here's how it works, slimeball. I have questions, and if you have answers, I'll leave you alone.

Rupert Thorne

Oh, I have plenty of answers... thirty-eight caliber answers. Now then, you were saying?

Batman

[Using Thorne as a shield] I was saying, you'd better hope your men are very good shots. It's too hot in here. Let's get some air.
