Scenes with Alfred Pennyworth 6

Batman and Boy Wonder? Are your blindfolds in place? Very well, then. Ask yourselves, "What is wrong with this sentence?" "He who laughs last laughs good!" [laughs]

[Batman turns off the television.]

Holy grammar! Is that all?

He who laughs last laughs best, not good! Best! Best! Best!

Do you suppose "blindfold" might have something to do with it?

Alfred

If I may venture an opinion, sir, I think Master Dick may have put his finger on it.

Blindfold?

Alfred

No, sir. Grammar. The sentence was gramatically incorrect. One does not laugh good, sir. One laughs well.

Why, that's it, Alfred! Laughs well! Laughwell! Professor James J. Laughwell!

Holy safari! The one that just got back from Africa, with a collection of rare masks and objects of art!

Alfred

That's where the blindfold part would come in, sir.

And they're being stored at the Lasts Longer Warehouse! To the Batmobile!

Switchboard, Commissioner Gordon here. Plug me in at once into the Hotline Batphone circuit.

Alfred

I regret to say, sir, Batman and Robin are not at present available.

What? Surely, you, you must be jesting.

Alfred

Alas, sir, I am not. Batman is enjoying one of his infrequent vacations.

Ohh! Catastrophic! Unprecedented! Batman and Robin not available! You know what this means, don't you?

If you're thinking what I'm afraid you're thinking.

Precisely, Chief O'Hara. The moment we've dreaded for years has arrived. This time, we're going to have to solve a case ourselves.

Alfred

[to Commissioner Gordon and Chief O'Hara] My experience with women has been that they tend to believe what they want to believe. So, knowing you both to be conscientious gentlemen and faithful husbands, I'm sure that if you just tell both your wives that you were involved in some special and, uh, confidential assignment, that will suffice.

Have you ever been married?

Alfred

Eh -- Well, no, no.

Alfred, at the risk of sounding pompous, experience with women and experience with wives are two vastly different things.

Amen.

CChickadee

[holding her umbrella-gun to Aunt Harriet's head] Batman! Stop or I blow the lady's brains out! Batman!

[Alfred pops out of the giant pie and tries to wrestle the gun out of Chickadee's hands. Harriet smashes a vase on Chickadee's head, knocking her out]

Alfred

Well hit, madam!

[Harriet faints]

Where's Bruce Wayne?

Alfred

Mr. Wayne is not at home, sir.

Too bad. I'll get my revenge later. Right now, I'll settle for cash. Where's the safe?

Alfred

My duties do not include aiding and abetting thievery.

Oh, no? [points a gun at Baby Jane's head]

Alfred

...right this way, sir.

[The Joker is helplessly stuck on the Bat-pole.]

Alfred, old pal! Have pity! [whimpers]

Alfred

We Anglo-finks have a long memory.

[Alfred sends Joker screaming back down the Bat-pole.]

Alfred

[to himself] I really shouldn't take pleasure in another creature's misfortunes. But, uh, occasionally, one may be forgiven for a slight twinge of satisfaction.
