Batman
Forever
The Riddler: Joygasm!
Dr.
Chase Meridian: Hot entrance!
[Two-Face
decides a victim's fate with a coin toss]
Two-Face: Ah. Fortune smiles. Another
day of wine and roses. Or, in your case, beer and pizza!
Two-Face:
One man is born a hero, his brother a coward. Babies starve, politicians grow
fat. Holy men are martyred, and junkies grow legion. Why? Why, why, why, why,
why? Luck! Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah, clueless luck!
The
Riddler: Riddle me this, what sort of a man has bats on the brain?
The
Riddler: Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big, black bat?
Batman:
Commissioner Gordon?
Dr. Chase Meridian: He's at home. I sent the signal.
Batman: What's wrong?
Dr. Chase Meridian: Last night, at the bank, I noticed
something about Two-Face. His coin. It's his Achilles' heel. It can be exploited.
Batman: I know. You called me here for this? The Batsignal is not a beeper.
Dr. Chase Meridian: Well I wish I could say that my interest in you was...
purely professional.
Batman: You trying to get under my cape, doctor?
Dr.
Chase Meridian: A girl can't live by psychoses alone.
Batman: It's the car,
right? Chicks love the car.
Dr. Chase Meridian: What is it about the wrong
kind of man? In grade school it was guys with earrings. College, motorcycles,
leather jackets. Now, *oh*, black rubber.
Batman: Try firemen, less to take
off.
Dr. Chase Meridian: I don't mind the work. Pity I can't see behind the
mask.
Batman: We all wear masks.
Dr. Chase Meridian: My life's an open
book. You read?
Batman: I don't blend in at a family picnic.
Dr. Chase
Meridian: Oh, we could give it a try. I'll bring the wine, you bring your scarred
psyche.
Batman: Direct aren't you?
Dr. Chase Meridian: You like strong
women. I've done my homework. Or do I need skin-tight vinyl and a whip?
Batman:
I haven't had that much luck with women.
Dr. Chase Meridian: Maybe you just
haven't met the right woman.
Dick
Grayson: I need a name! Batboy, Nightwing, I dunno. What's a good sidekick name?
Bruce Wayne: How about Dick Grayson, college student?
Dick Grayson: Screw
you!
Alfred
Pennyworth: I'm sorry to bother you, sir. But I have some rather distressing news
about Master Dick.
Bruce Wayne: What? Is he alright?
Alfred Pennyworth:
I'm afraid Master Dick has, uhm, gone traveling.
Bruce Wayne: He ran away?
Alfred Pennyworth: Actually, he took the car.
Bruce Wayne: He boosted
the Jag?
Alfred Pennyworth: No, sir. Not the Jaguar. The other car.
Bruce
Wayne: The Bentley?
Alfred Pennyworth: No, sir! The *other car*.
Alfred
Pennyworth: Can I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, sir?
Batman: I'll
get drive-thru.
The
Riddler: For if knowledge is power, then a GOD AM *I*!
[pauses]
The Riddler:
Was that over the top? I can never tell.
The
Riddler: You should have let me in on this. We could have planned it, prepared
it, pre-sold the movie rights!
[upon
reaching Claw Island]
Robin: Holey rusted metal, Batman!
Batman: Huh?
Robin: The ground, it's all metal. It's full of holes. You know, holey.
Batman:
Oh.
Dick
Grayson: All I can think about every second of the day is getting Two-Face. He
took my whole life. And when I was out there tonight, I imagined it was him that
I was fighting, even when I was fighting you. And all the pain went away. Do you
understand?
Bruce Wayne: Yes, I do.
Dick Grayson: Good, cause you gotta
help me find him. And when we do, I'm the one who kills him.
Bruce Wayne:
So, you're willing to take a life.
Dick Grayson: Long as it's Two-Face.
Bruce
Wayne: Then it will happen this way: You make the kill, but your pain doesn't
die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face,
and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that
revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.
Dick Grayson:
You can't understand. Your family wasn't killed by a maniac.
Bruce Wayne:
Yes, they were. We're the same.
Batman:
I read your work. Insightful. Naive, but insightful.
Dr. Chase Meridian: I'm
flattered. Not every girl makes a superhero's night table.
Dr.
Chase Meridian: He'll slaughter them without thinking twice.
Batman: Agreed.
A trauma powerful enough to create an alternate personality leaves the victim
--
Dr. Chase Meridian: -- in a world where normal rules of right and wrong
no longer apply.
Batman: Exactly.
Dr. Chase Meridian: Like you. -- Well,
let's just say that I could write a hell of a paper on a grown man who dresses
like a flying rodent.
Batman: Bats aren't rodents, Dr. Meridian.
Dr.
Chase Meridian: By the way, do you have a first name, or do I just call you Bat?
Bruce
Wayne: Perhaps letters of the alphabet.
Alfred Pennyworth: Of course, 13 is
M.
Bruce Wayne: 1 would be A, 8 would be H, and 5 would be E.
Alfred Pennyworth:
M-A-H-E?
Bruce Wayne: Perhaps 1 and 8 are 18.
Alfred Pennyworth: 18...
is... R. M-R-E.
Bruce Wayne: How about "Mr. E"?
Alfred Pennyworth:
Mystery.
Bruce Wayne: And another name for mystery?
Alfred Pennyworth:
Enigma!
Bruce Wayne: Mr. E. Nygma. Edward Nygma. Stickley's suicide was obviously
a computer-generated forgery.
Alfred Pennyworth: You really are quite bright,
despite what people say.
The
Riddler: Tell the fat lady she's on in five.
Two-Face:
You have broken into our hideout. You have violated the sanctity of our lair.
For this we should crush your bones into POWDER. However, you do pose a very interesting
proposition: therefore, heads, we accept, and tails, we blow your damned head
off!
The
Riddler: Now the real game begins!
The
Riddler: [To Two Face after Batman shows up] Your entrance was good... his was
better. The difference: showmanship.
The
Riddler: This is your brain on the box. This is my brain on the box. Does anybody
else feel like a fried egg?
Batman:
I'm not Batman because I have to be. I'm Batman because I choose to be.
[Stops
Two Face killing Batman]
The Riddler: Don't kill him!! If you kill him, he
won't learn nothin'!
[After
shooting down the Batplane]
The Riddler: I hope they can find the little black
box.
The
Riddler: Like the jacket? It keeps me safe when I'm...jogging at night!
[Chase
has told the Riddler that Batman will come for her]
The Riddler: Batman? Batman,
you say? Coming for you? I'm....
[shouting]
The Riddler: counting on it!
Two-Face:
You're counting on the winged avenger to deliver you from evil, arn't you my friend?
Bank Guard: Are you going to kill me?
Two-Face: Maybe, maybe not. You
could say we're of two minds on the subject.
[Two-Face's
Lair]
The Riddler: Love what you've done with the place. Heavy Metal meets
House and Garden.
