TV show quotes
Come now, Robin. You'll have to do better than that. I haven't even broken a sweat.
[As Robin is terminated to win, Slade grabs his hand as his counter move]
Good technique.
[Slade bends his arm and throws Robin across the room.]
Good, but not perfect.
I understand your frustration, Robin. You hate losing as much as I do. One of the many qualities we have in common.
[Robin knocks Slade down, he picks up the remote]
It's over, Slade!
On the contrary, Robin.
Huh?
[It breaks apart in his hand.]
This is only the beginning.
Where's the real trigger?
Trigger? There is no trigger. Because there is no detonator.
Nanoscopic probes. The Chronoton Detonator was merely the bait for a much larger trap. You see, with the push of a button… [He shows that his thumb it's on the trigger] …my probes will destroy your friends from the inside out.
You can't control them. No matter what you threaten, they'll never obey you.
This isn't about your friends, Robin. It's about you. It's always been about you.
What?
Sending trouble your way. Leaving cryptic clues for you to unravel. I was testing you. For some time now, I have been searching for… an apprentice. Someone to follow in my footsteps. And Robin, I've chosen you. Congratulations.
No way would I ever work for-
[Slade shows Robin the kill switch attempting to use it]
If you join me… if you swear to serve me… if you never speak to your friends again… I will allow them to live. But… if you disobey even the smallest request… I will annihilate them, Robin - and I will make you watch. So, do we have a deal?
[Closing line]
I know it seems bad now. But trust me, you'll learn to like it.
Robin? Robin! Please, Robin, where are you?
Starfire, enough. You've been calling for forty-five minutes.
Perhaps if I just try one more-
Come on, Star. If he's gonna pick up, he'd have done it by now. Besides, you're kinda giving me a headache.
But why does he not respond? Where could he be?
Robin and Cinderblock definitely went a few rounds, but I can't tell who won, or where they went.
No sign of him here, either. His locator is still offline. I've been monitoring all the frequencies, but he hasn't checked in.
Oh, we are bad friends! We should never have left Robin to do battle alone.
Yeah, especially since Slade's big doodad was a dud.
The Chronoton Detonator wasn't a dud. It was a decoy to lure us away from Robin, and we fell for it.
I shoulda known that thing was a fake!
But why? Why did Slade wish to separate us from Robin?
And if the detonator was a decoy…
…what was Slade's real plan?
Titans! Trouble!
Excellent, Robin. I'm pleased. You're already proving to be the perfect apprentice.
This deal can't last forever.
It can. And it will. The Titans still have no idea that my Chronoton Detonator was more than a decoy. Now that my probes are inside their bodies, they could remain undetected for years, decades. Unless, of course, you disobey me, and I decide to destroy your former friends with a push of the button.
Sooner or later, you'll let your guard down. I will get that controller, and the instant they're out of danger, you will pay.
That sounds like a threat, young man. Quite a good threat, actually. Betrayal, destruction, revenge. We really do think alike. I monitored your vital signs during the mission. Elevated heart rate, adrenaline, endorphins. You won't admit it, but at some level, you enjoyed stealing for me. It was a thrill, wasn't it? You're going to keep stealing, Robin. And you're going to keep getting that thrill. And sooner or later, you will see things my way. Who knows? I might even become like a father to you.
I already have a father.
You're not walking outta here, Robin! Not without a fight. Titans! Go!
[As the Titans are ready to fight him, Robin dodges their attacks and escape through the air vents to go to the roof]
[through earpiece] Not so fast, Robin. You have yet to achieve your objective.
The device was too heavily guarded. I'll have to steal it another-
NO! Go back. Unless you want me to destroy them, go back and fight.
Robin! Look, I don't know what's going on, but we don't want to fight. We just want to talk.
[Robin uses a high flying kick that drives Cyborg back past the other three.]
Guess there's nothing to talk about.
[Beast Boy tries to take him down, but Robin manages to pin him on the 'A' in Wayne Enterprise sign.]
Please-
[He runs pass her to fight the others instead.]
[aiming his proton cannon] Don't make me…
[He powers it down]
[While Raven and Cyborg tries to subdue Robin, Beast Boy escapes the sign letter as a snake and then turns into a bullhorn sheep and rams him]
Dude! Are you okay?
[He then kicks BB and hurls him at Cyborg.]
Fight to win, Robin. Use the thermal blaster.
Azarath, Metrion, ZINTHOS!
[She uses spell lifts up and binds Robin. However, he scales a disc at her and explodes on the sign causing in her face a blinding flash.]
I…can't…see!
[Raven falls to the roof]
No!
[Cyborg is blocking Robin’s punches.]
Come on, man, don't make me do this! I don't want to do this!
[Activates the weapon again. Robin low foot sweeps him, making Cyborg lose his balance. Robin goes to run off the top of the building, only to be stopped by Starfire raising her starbolt at him.]
Stop! Do. Not. Move.
I thought I told you to use that blaster. Attack! Now!
[Robin raises the weapon and points it on Starfire.]
Robin, you are my best friend. I cannot be in a world where we must fight. If you are truly evil, then go ahead. [She lowers her arm.] Do what you must.
[He lowers his arm as well.] Starfire, no! I- [the earpiece screeches feedback in his ear]
ROBIN! I gave you an order. If you won't attack, my probes will.
[He pushes the button. The nano probes slowly begins to kill Starfire]
Starfire!
[He sees that it's also happening to the other Titans too.]
Stop! Please stop!
Attack, Robin. It's the only way to save them. Attack with everything you've got.
Robin…
[He points the blaster down at her and whispers] I’m sorry. [He fires.]
That's my boy.
Thrilling. My apprentice is progressing even faster than I had hoped. All he needed was a little motivation.
Motivate THIS!
[Slade counters and hurls Robin towards the ground.]
Robin. That was vicious, dishonorable, and ruthless. Excellent work. You're becoming more like me every second.
Good, Robin. You're doing much better than last time. A few more years of training, and you might actually pose a threat.
You're going to wish you hadn't done that.
I only wish I'd done it sooner.
I have much to teach you. But the first thing you need to learn is gratitude.
[Robin tries for another go at the kill switch, but Slade seizes his arm and bends it back past the shoulder before dumping him onto his back.]
I made you my apprentice. All my knowledge, all my power, all for you. But the only thing you care about is your WORTHLESS, LITTLE. FRIENDS!!! [They both get up] If the Titans are so distracting, maybe I should just get rid of them.
Don't. I'll do whatever you say.
Good boy. And, from now on, I'd like you to call me Master.
[A starbolt blasts him away to land right in front of the monitors]
Leave. Him. Alone...!
Robin! Attack!
Get out of here! Go! You don't know what those beams did to-
Dude…
…We know…
…And we don't care.
We are your friends, Robin. We are not leaving without you.
How very touching. [puts his finger on the button] But Robin doesn't need any friends.
[He presses it, bringing the rapparatus to life; red energy bolts blaze out across the space. The Titans collapse on the ground]
This is the price for your disobedience, Robin. Now do as I command. Attack!
No. [He dashes off.]
Robin!
[Robin runs towards the device and gets himself infected with nano probes. His name and infected bloodstream appear on a 5th monitor]
New deal, Slade. If I lose my friends, you lose your apprentice. And I know how you hate to lose.
[Robin falls down on his knees as he continues to die slowly. Slade destroys the kill switch and he tries to attack again, but Robin quickly counters his move, leaving him flying across the room.]
Titans! Go!
[Beast Boy, now a tiger, is first to do damage with a clawed swipe that pierces the armor. Cyborg and Starfire move in next, starbolts and cannon going full throttle to blast Slade backward. As he tumbles, Raven casts a spell to bind his feet and sling him hard onto the platform. Robin delivers a flying kick on his masked face. The right half of his mask drops away and skids across the floor, and he now stands up with one big hand covering the exposed portion of his visage. He turns and runs off.]
Another day, Robin. Another day.
[The whole lair was set to self-destruct. Slade gets away, and before the Titans can leave, Cyborg grabs the device that contains a solution to get rid of the probs inside them.]
Let's go home.
[hooked up to a probe removal machine] Am I done yet?
That's it, y'all. The Teen Titans are officially probe-free.
[Doing "the robot"] YEAH! Go, Beast Boy, you're probeless, no probes now, go Beast Boy, go Beast Boy... get funky! [Moonwalks] Uh-uh, that's right...
Um...I know this isn't my style, but we just kicked Slade's butt. Shouldn't we celebrate or something?
Yeah!
All-you-can-eat…
…free-form…
Breakfast explosion!
Sorry I asked.
Everything okay?
I am sorry.
You're sorry? For what?
When things were bad, there was a moment where I truly believed that you were...like Slade. I doubted you. And for that, I am sorry.
I doubted myself, Star. Focused, serious, determined...as much as I hate to admit it, he and I are kind of alike. But there's one big difference between me and Slade. [Smiles] He doesn't have any friends.
Who wants tofu waffles?
Man, nobody wants tofu waffles.
I do. Pass me the soy milk.
I'm telling you, you're not getting anywhere near the soy milk.
Man, pass me the soy milk!
Is there meat in the tofu?
No, there's no meat in tofu, it's tofu!
Nobody wants it...
