Bruce Wayne quotes from Gotham

Bruce Wayne

[reading to Alfred] And then I looked at the stars, and considered how awful it would be for a man to turn his face up to them as he froze to death, and see no help or pity in the glittering multitude...

Bruce Wayne

[to Alfred] I'm building a bomb to blow down that door. You may assist me if you wish, but if not, some tea would be nice.

Bruce Wayne

Alfred... I'm writing to let you know I'm okay and that you won't hear from me for some time. But I will return when I'm able to protect the people I love. When Gotham needs me... I will return.

Bruce Wayne

I'm learning to conquer fear.

Jim Gordon

Fear doesn't need conquering. Fear tells you where the edge is. Fear is a good thing.

Alfred Pennyworth

And you think I haven't told him that, have you?

Bruce Wayne

Bad dream.

Alfred Pennyworth

Oh. Was I in it?

Bruce Wayne

Not this time.

Bruce Wayne

Could you pass me that blue folder over there?

Alfred Pennyworth

Well, I suppose as hobbies go, this is a damn sight better than grilling yourself like a bloody pork chop. Still, not particularly healthy, is it?

Bruce Wayne

Thank you.

Alfred Pennyworth

Are you listening to me?

Bruce Wayne

Y--yeah. yeah, for sure. I'll take a walk later. Thank you, Alfred.

Alfred Pennyworth

Don't you miss your mates?

Bruce Wayne

Not really. I've always found them kind of childish.

Alfred Pennyworth

Well, that's what they're meant to be, aren't they? That's what they do. Don't you want to be like a normal kid?

Bruce Wayne

I'm not sure. Define "normal" and make a good case for it.

Alfred Pennyworth

You're going to bloody school. Now start walking.

Alfred Pennyworth

Don't you be scared.

Bruce Wayne

I'm not. I'm visualizing what I'm gonna do.

Alfred Pennyworth

'Cause if you don't want to do this, there's no shame in it.

Bruce Wayne

There would be immense shame in it.

What the hell are you doing here?

Bruce Wayne

We have unfinished business.

Listen, if you think you're gonna tell my parents-

Are you crazy?!

Bruce Wayne

[punches him again] Don't talk about my mother!

Alfred Pennyworth

Master Bruce! Point well made, I think. You all right, mate? Any broken bones?

He-he tried to kill me!

Alfred Pennyworth

That's right, he did. He tried to kill you. Just you remember that the next time you see him. And you remember that I let him try.

Bruce Wayne

Alfred? Can you teach me how to fight?

Alfred Pennyworth

Yes, Master Bruce. Yes, I can.

Bruce Wayne

It's from the Chinese Ming dynasty. Five... five-hundred-years old.

Selina Kyle

You can get one just like it for $5 in Chinatown.

Bruce Wayne

There's plenty to eat in the kitchen. Alfred will be happy to fix you some...

Alfred Pennyworth

No, he won't be, will he? Because it's not a bloody hotel!

Selina Kyle

Why are you doing that?

Bruce Wayne

Training.

Selina Kyle

Oh... like the boxing. So, if anyone mugs you with a diving board, you'll be ready, huh?

Bruce Wayne

Why can't I call Alfred or Detective Gordon to let them know I'm okay?

Selina Kyle

Because we're disappearing. You got to be like smoke. Smoke doesn't make phone calls.

Selina Kyle

Let me ask you a question. What's up with all the weird homework about your mom and dad?

Bruce Wayne

I'm trying to understand why it happened.

Selina Kyle

There's no why. Bad stuff happens. You--you got to get over it.

Bruce Wayne

Maybe you're right.

Selina Kyle

Of course I'm right. You want to kiss me?

Bruce Wayne

No, thank you.
