Magpie quotes from Beware the Batman

Magpie

Shiny, shiny.

Magpie

Hey, you just hit a girl!

No, I just hit a criminal. You've given me quite a run. Six warehouses, stolen high-tech electronics worth millions.

Magpie

Really? Millions? I just like the way they sparkle. Mr...?

Batman.

Magpie

Magpie. (Seeing Batman's utility belt) Ooh, nice belt. Shiny, shiny. Can I have it?

I'm using it right now. How about a shiny pair of handcuffs instead? (Holds up the handcuffs)

Magpie

You know, after I last met, I couldn't help wondering what makes someone put on a bat costume. Something to hide?

Who said this was a costume?

Magpie

Umm, I like that.

Magpie

What is this? Whose face is that?

You don't know. Two personalities in one body, unaware of each other.

Magpie

What're you talking about?

Margaret Sorrow was part of an experiment Braxton and Ravencroft were conducting. For your participation, you received early released.

Magpie

No! They took my memories! THEY STOLE THEM FROM ME!

I'm sorry, but you did this to yourself. Margaret Sorrow volunteered. The experiment was meant to strip the bad out of criminals, and in your case it worked. For a while anyway. (Magpie looks at herself in the mirror) They gave you a new name, a new face, a new life. But sometimes the bad is just too strong. It has a way of coming back.

Magpie

No! Lies! (She punches the mirror) I want to know who I am, and she can give that back to me! (Magpie extends her fingernails into claws, about to kill Ravencroft, when Gordon shots her nails off.)

Don't move, Batman. You either... bird-girl.

Magpie

(She picks up the shot-off nails) Shiny, shiny. (She throws her nails at Gordon. One of them cuts his arm and it makes him cry in pain. Magpie then jumps up, knocks Gordon down and runs off. Batman follows her, but is stopped by Gordon's gunshot.)

You're not going anywhere.

We don't have time for this, Lieutenant. Help the doctor, I'll stop Magpie. (He goes after Magpie)

Magpie, enough.

Magpie

I just broke out of prison for you. A little appreciation would be nice.

You should have buried me deeper.

Magpie

I'll remember that for next time.

Magpie

You're only a pale imitation of me, sister. And you know it!

You're just jealous because Batman rejected you. Probably because of your horrible fashion sense. I mean, really? Neck feathers with a bustier? Kinda trashy, right, Batman?

What did Ra's promise you? What am I worth?

Magpie

The delicious Mr. Ghul is going to make me a queen. With my own piece of the city and all the shiny shiny I can steal. Isn't he a doll?

Magpie

Back off, barbeque boy. He's mine.

Hollow threat, coming from someone who's about to be a roast chicken.

Magpie

I think it's time to slice up some fresh bacon!

Professor Pyg

Give it your best shot, Tweety!
