Quotes 

• [Bruce Wayne/Batman has been temporarily blinded. Leslie orders him to take rest to recuperate] 

  Bruce Wayne : No way, Leslie! Not as long as the Penguin has that chopper.

  Alfred Pennyworth : [clears throat]  If there's some question, Master Bruce, I urge you to resolve it straightaway.

  [looks out the window and sees the signal] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : You have a call on your private line.

  Bruce Wayne : Then let's go!

  Alfred Pennyworth : In your condition, sir?

  Bruce Wayne : If you think a little inconvenience like this is going to stop me...

  [he knocks over a lamp] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : Indeed.

• Batman : Those ZVF components I gave you, you wired them into this thing?

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : I know how to follow instructions. Just be careful with that power pack. You have to keep recharging it.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Will it work, sir?

  Batman : Only one way to find out.

  [going through an obstacle course, ending with kicking a workout dummy in half] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : Well done, sir.

  Batman : I was aiming for its head. It isn't perfect, but it will have to do. I can only pray that the same technology that created this crisis can help me put an end to it.

• Alfred Pennyworth : [after an explosion]  Master Bruce!

  Bruce Wayne : Home, Alfred. Now.

  Alfred Pennyworth : But, sir, you need medical attention.

  Bruce Wayne : No! I don't want the Wayne Tech doctors examining me. Call Leslie. Have her meet us at the house.

  Alfred Pennyworth : [helping him to the car and driving away]  Begging your pardon, sir, but why so secretive?

  Bruce Wayne : Because I don't want anyone to find out... that I can't see.

• Dr. Leslie Thompkins : [removing Bruce's bandages]  I'd feel a lot better about this if you'd listened to me.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Master Bruce?

  Dr. Leslie Thompkins : Well?

  Alfred Pennyworth : [dropping his newspaper]  My word, sir! Surely you're not...

  Bruce Wayne : [catching it and looking at the front-page article on Penguin's re-incarceration]  No, Alfred. I can see just fine. And right now, I've never seen anything prettier.
