Victor Fries, Ferris Boyle and others in “Heart of Ice”

[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]
