Ellen Yin quotes from The Batman (2004)

So, would you say the idea of a Batman/Catwoman link wasn't so farfetched after all?

Ellen Yin

Yes, it's clear now that they work together to take down Katsu... as a vigilante team.

Alfred Pennyworth

Not quite what I had in mind when I encouraged you to meet women who share your interests, Master Bruce. But it's a start.

Batman

If Catwoman were somehow, some way able to trace the signal back here-

Alfred Pennyworth

We would have to rename it "The Catcave."

Joker

Ah, detective, my therapy worked! It seems you and I finally share the same sense of humour!

Detective Ellen Yin

[aiming at the Joker] Don't fool yourself, Joker. Bennett plays for my team.

Detective Ethan Bennett

Yin?

Joker

The yin to his yang. [aims his "Joker Putty" gun at Bennett] Drop it! Or laughing boy gets it! You don't know what this stuff does to humans!

Joker

For that matter, neither do I. Let's find out! [aims at Bennett again]

Detective Ellen Yin

NO!

Clayface

Come on in, Batman. It's time to say our goodbyes to Chief Rojas.

Batman

Let him go.

Clayface

What, you don't approve, Bats? After all, to Rojas here, we're both on the wrong side of the law.

Batman

It doesn't matter what he thinks. It's the code you live by that matters. And you don't want to cross a line that you can't uncross.

Clayface

Maybe you haven't noticed, Bats, but my line's been crossed! For good!

Detective Ellen Yin

Ethan, no!

Clayface

[morphs into Ethan Bennett] It's not cool to reveal secret identities, Yin. [morphs into Yin] Not that it matters, [morphs into Bruce Wayne] when I can be anyone I choose, [morphs into Batman] and when I'm no longer sure what I am, [morphs into the Joker] except a freak! [laughs] You know what separates the freaks from the normals? Just one rotten day. Ever had a really rotten day, Batman? [morphs back into Clayface] Thought so.

Batman

Joker's rotten to the core by choice. A choice that's still yours to make, Detective.

Detective Ellen Yin

Turn yourself in, Ethan. We can help you.

Clayface

You don't get it, do you? Joker didn't just melt my skin - he melted my mind! I'm a freak, inside and out! And Chief Rojas has zero-tolerance for the likes of me!

Clayface

[laughs] Nice try, Bats, but the water pressure in this dump always did stink!

Detective Ellen Yin

Ethan, stop!

Clayface

Boys' locker room, Yin. You could get expelled for this.

Detective Ellen Yin

There's no blood on your hands yet. Please, Ethan - don't cross the line.

Ethan Bennett

You, defending the Batman? I never thought I'd see the day. Yin... [tearing up] what's become of us?

Ellen Yin

[about Clayface] He could be anywhere.

He could be anyone.

Ellen Yin

Riddler, you're a maniac!

Riddler

I prefer the term "Brainiac".

Ellen Yin

Four sides facing north. The house is at the South Pole, so it's a polar bear. The answer is "white." [Batman ignores the trap] Aren't you taking a risk?

Batman

There are no bears at the South Pole. This riddle has no answer.

Ellen Yin

Riddler cheated?

Batman

Riddler quit. He's through playing.

Ellen Yin

Wayne, I know your secret.

Excuse me?

Ellen Yin

It's been quite an act. You really had me snowed.

I don't know what you...

[Sighs in relief] Boy, you've really got my number.

Batman

Bennett, give up. It's not too late.

Ethan Bennett

[slowly transforming back into clay] Isn't it, Bats? Look, here's the problem as I see it. Being Ethan Bennett is hard, really hard. Being Clayface... is cake. So say your goodbyes. This is the last you'll ever see of him.

Clayface

Now step aside or I'll mash you both. [morphs his hand into a spiked weapon] Mash anyone who gets in my way!

Detective Ellen Yin

[sadly] Good to know. You just made this a whole lot easier.

Clayface

Didn't expect that from you, Yin. I guess you do have... a new partner.
