Quotes
-
[Contemplating the Royal Flush Gang's next move]
Bruce Wayne : All of their crimes are playing-card-related, and the earliest playing-card decks had swords, not spades.
Terry McGinnis : How does the yacht fit in?
Bruce Wayne : It was part of a yacht *club*.
Terry McGinnis : Ouch.
-
[On Terry's prospective girlfriend, who turns out to be a criminal]
Terry McGinnis : This kinda thing ever happen to you?
Bruce Wayne : Let me tell you about a woman named Selina Kyle.
-
Bruce Wayne : You're late. Dana again?
Terry McGinnis : That's all over now. Thanks to you and this job.
Bruce Wayne : Don't dramatize. You two will be back soon enough. And in the meantime, you've got to figure out how to stop this gang.
Terry McGinnis : I gave 'em a lot more than they expected. They're gone.
Bruce Wayne : They'll be back. We've got history, they and I. The Royal Flush Gang's been around a long time. They're a family. They bring in new members, sons, daughter, husbands, wives, as the older ones retire or go to prison. They think they're better than everyone else. The Aristocrats of Crime.

Bruce Wayne : Late again.
Terry McGinnis : Or early, depending on how you look at it.
Bruce Wayne : How I look at it is, the Gang's gonna hit again. And we've only got a few hours, to figure out where.
Terry McGinnis : You're sure it'll be tonight?
Bruce Wayne : You've got something better to do?
Terry McGinnis : Yeah, I do.
Bruce Wayne : This is getting tiresome.
Terry McGinnis : Look, if you had any proof they're gonna try something tonight, it would be different! But I'm not gonna change my plans because of a hunch.
Bruce Wayne : Batman would.
Terry McGinnis : Hey, I put my life on the line all the time! One night's not gonna make any difference!
[Bruce grabs Terry by his shirt]
Bruce Wayne : One night always makes the difference!
Terry McGinnis : I know what it is. You can't stand to see anyone going out and havin' a life! You want me to end up like you! Alone.
[Terry pulls away from Bruce and runs out of the Batcave]

Bruce Wayne : Everything all right there?
Batman : Fine. Perfect. Except they got away.
Bruce Wayne : We'd better reconvene. You should know who you're dealing with.
Batman : Be there when I can. I'm late for an appointment.
Bruce Wayne : But I need to talk to you.
-
Terry McGinnis : Dana, sorry I'm late. I got stuck in...
Dana Tan : What are you apologizing for? I wasn't expecting you.
Terry McGinnis : But, I... but...
Dana Tan : How many times has it been now, Terry? After a while, a girl gets the idea.
Terry McGinnis : No, you've got it all wrong.
Dana Tan : Do I?
Terry McGinnis : It's not like I wanna be late. It's just that I've got these responsibilities.
Dana Tan : Sure you do.
Terry McGinnis : Look, if you can't handle it, maybe we should just forget the whole thing.
Dana Tan : Terry, I already have forgotten it.

Melanie Walker : You know what it's like being uprooted every few weeks, never quite knowing what's gonna be happening next?
Terry McGinnis : I'm beginning to get an idea of what that's like.
Melanie Walker : Two of a kind. That's what we are. I'm Melanie. Melanie Walker.
Terry McGinnis : Terry McGinnis.
Melanie Walker : [he's taken aback when she kisses him] What's wrong?
Terry McGinnis : Nothing. It's... just kind of quick, that's all.
Melanie Walker : With me, it's always been now or never.
Terry McGinnis : Ever consider later?
Melanie Walker : How much later?
Terry McGinnis : I could see you tomorrow night.
Melanie Walker : That'd be great.
Terry McGinnis : Where can I pick you up?
Melanie Walker : Um, better not. Why don't we just meet right here tomorrow at midnight, under the big clock?
Terry McGinnis : I'll be here.
-
Batman : Definitely something weird going on over there. People dressed up like playing cards.
Bruce Wayne : Did you say "playing cards"?
Batman : Uh-huh. They travel in your circles?
Bruce Wayne : 'Fraid so.
Batman : Well, guess I better go introduce myself.
-
Terry McGinnis : I got this... this after-school job. Takes up a lot of my time. Too much.
Melanie Walker : Maybe you should ask your boss for more time off.
Terry McGinnis : Not this guy. Him, you don't ask for time off.
Melanie Walker : So what kind of after-school job is this, anyway?
Terry McGinnis : Well, I do errands, sort of. It's kind of hard to describe. What about you? What were you doing out there? How come you didn't go in?
Melanie Walker : Didn't know anyone.
Terry McGinnis : New in town?
Melanie Walker : Perpetually. My parents move around a lot 'cause of work.
Terry McGinnis : Least you get to see the world.
Melanie Walker : Yeah. See the world and lose all your friends.
-
Terry McGinnis : Melanie?
Melanie Walker : Terry, I... I can't see you tonight.
Terry McGinnis : Something come up? Schoolwork?
Melanie Walker : No.
Terry McGinnis : Then what is it?
Melanie Walker : I... I can't see you again. Ever.
Terry McGinnis : Why?
Melanie Walker : It just... didn't work out. I gotta go now.
Terry McGinnis : Melanie, there's something wrong, isn't there? Tell me!
Melanie Walker : There's nothing wrong. Nothing. Goodbye, Terry.
