Bruce Wayne and Alfred Pennyworth in “Unfinished Business”

Bruce Wayne

I want you to leave.

Alfred Pennyworth

Yeah, well, that's not gonna happen, is it, mate? You have to remember who you are.

Bruce Wayne

I know who I am. I have a destiny.

Alfred Pennyworth

Now you listen to me. That man who wanted you to detonate that bomb, whatever he promised you - freedom from pain, power - none of it, none of it was real. I want you to remember what is real.

Bruce Wayne

I know what's real! I got vengeance for my parents' murder! That's real!

Alfred Pennyworth

No. No, that's not real. What's real is that every time that you were sick when you were a kid your mum used to sit up with you all night and read until you fell asleep. That's real. Or when you were seven and you took your silly rowing boat out and you got lost in that storm, and me and your dad were out, shouting, screaming, losing our minds, and when your dad found you, how he cried. That's real. Yes, your parents died in that alley three years ago, and maybe that man took away the pain of that night, but there is no life, there is no love, without pain. He could not touch the love your mum and dad gave you, that you still have in you. [touches Bruce's heart] That you still have in here. The same love I have for you. I love you, Master Bruce. I would do anything for you. I would die for you. You must find that love again. Come back to me, Master Bruce.
