Lines by Tatsu Yamashiro 4
[Tatsu gingerly walks through the white hallways of the training room. As she walks down the hall, Tatsu hears a clicking noise beneath her, and looks down, and finds her foot on a button. Hearing a whirring noise, she sees a machine pop up from the floor and it launches discs at, but Tatsu dodged them with various somersaults and leaps off the walls, and she leapt away from a ceiling press as it lowers down, and leapt and dodged various beams from the walls, but as she somersaulted from the last beam, a double-hatch opens in the floor, and Tatsu side-splits her legs on the sides of the pit, and she looks up and grapes at a long blade heading towards her, but she ducks down and the blade passes over her, and she leaps over the hatch and somersaults onto an overhead bar. Tatsu notices a camera in the ceiling]
Tatsu Yamashiro
Major, your boss has a serious workout room.
Tatsu Yamashiro
(about Bruce) A secret elevator to a private library. Not only does this guy have too much time and too much money, he's a geek, too.
Tatsu Yamashiro
You're never completely safe.
Tatsu Yamashiro
I don't know what's worse. The hot air coming out of Dent, or the BO coming off this crowd.
Scenes with Tatsu Yamashiro 19
[Tatsu looks at the Soultaker Sword in her room]
[on P.A.] Ms. Yamashiro, this is Bruce Wayne, could you please meet me in the trophy room?
[Tatsu arrives at the trophy room, but it's empty]
Tatsu Yamashiro
Mr. Wayne, you wanted to see me?
[Tatsu looks around and finds a sweep mark on the wall next to the fireplace. Running her finger across the mark, Tatsu presses a button on the wall, and the fireplace rises up, revealing a secret door, and Tatsu stares at it]
Tatsu Yamashiro
[smiles mischievously] This job just got interesting.
[Tatsu walks up to the door and places her hand on the scanner, but it flashes red, and she withdraws her hand]
Tatsu Yamashiro
[arches her eyebrows suspiciously] What are you hiding, Mr. Wayne?
Tatsu Yamashiro
You have a very quiet footstep, Mr. Wayne.
As do you, Ms. Yamashiro.
Tatsu Yamashiro
And judging from your home gym, you have a killer exercise routine.
[impressed with Tatsu's amazing skills from earlier] I saw you in there. You live up to Alfred's glowing recommendation.
Tatsu Yamashiro
Look, I know you don't think I am necessary, but let me assure you. I always take my work very seriously. So, please... keep an open mind.
[Tatsu holds out her hand, and Bruce takes it in his, and they shake hands, and Bruce walks away. After Bruce left, Tatsu peels off a piece of plastic from her hand and smiles cheekily as she looks at Bruce's handprint on the plastic]
Tatsu Yamashiro
One got away.
That happens. It doesn't justify murder.
Tatsu Yamashiro
I didn't have a choice.
You always have a choice. You can save lives or take them.
Tatsu Yamashiro
I don't need an ethics lesson from a nut dressed up like a bat.
Too bad. You just got one.
Tatsu Yamashiro
Get back? Where are you going?
Hot date. Well, as hot as a date can be at a museum reception.
Tatsu Yamashiro
What about Dr. Burr?
He's not my type. Don't wait up.
[Tatsu Yamashiro has been injured in a fight] How bad are you?
Tatsu Yamashiro
I'm alive.
Tatsu Yamashiro
Careful. I'm starting to think I was wrong about you.
You wouldn't be the first.
Tatsu Yamashiro
Is this a good idea? Are you sure Mr. Wayne is out of town on business?
Oh, Mr. Wayne is almost always out on some kind of business. Best to make the most of it.
Yield now, and I will grant you both quick deaths.
Tatsu Yamashiro
What he said.
(Lady Shiva has Batman and Katana hostage and has subdued Silver Monkey. She approaches Dr. Ravencroft with the Soultaker Sword.)
Oh, the flower you picked has lovely petals, Silver Monkey. I wonder if the same can be said of her soul.
Please, Lady Shiva, I never meant to betray you. It was Silver Monkey who...
Shh, shh. Quiet now, my lotus blossom. (Lady Shiva recites an incantation and activates the sword)
What're you doing? No, wait! (The sword drains her soul, leaving her a colorless, skin-covered skeleton)
Don't worry, she's not dead. Not yet, anyway. As for you, Silver Monkey, you won't be joining your flower in the sword. My plans for you are far for interesting, and... painful. (Two ninjas carry Silver Monkey away) I'm actually quite grateful to Silver Monkey. Yes, he betrayed me, but he also delivered two of my most troublesome adversaries. This is a most gracious windfall for me, and for the Sword.
... You forgot one thing.
What rocket? (a rocket bursts through the window, nearly hitting Lady Shiva, and blowing off the roof. Alfred is shown holding a smoking rocket launcher.)
... That rocket. (Batman breaks through his bonds, then frees Katana)
Tatsu Yamashiro
... Glove saws?
Acid capsules... but good idea.
Tatsu, you must be patient.
Tatsu Yamashiro
There's patient. And then there's spending weeks encasing me in one immoveable suit after another.
You're not doing anything until you're suited up and armed.
Tatsu Yamashiro
[smiles mischievously] Okay, then. [Tatsu walks into the costume room, grabs a katana and an eye mask from the wall, and steps out of the room, wearing the mask and the katana strapped to her back] Suited up and armed.
A sword and a mask, that's all.
I can fight in this. [demonstrates her sword moves] See? There's one more thing. You have a code name, and I want one too. Call me Katana, when we're in the field.
