Quotes 

• Catwoman : You can't deny there's something between us.

  Batman : You're right, and I'm afraid it's the law.

• [Maven tries to get Selina excited about her date with Bruce Wayne] 

  Selina Kyle : I guess you're right, Maven. Still, I wish it were Batman waiting behind this door.

  [opens it] 

  Selina Kyle : Bruce! How lovely to see you.

• [Bruce arrives to pick up Selina for their date, but they are interrupted by a phone call with bad news] 

  Selina Kyle : You go down to the office! Break down the door if you have to! I want that land for the mountain lions!

  [She slams the phone down and sinks into a chair] 

  Selina Kyle : [sighs]  I'm afraid I'm not going to be very good company.

  Bruce Wayne : Is there anything I can do?

  Selina Kyle : [dryly]  Not really. Not unless you can get me a meeting with the Chairman of Multigon International.

  [Bruce picks up the phone and starts dialing] 

  Bruce Wayne : What time's good for you?

  Selina Kyle : [surprised, to Maven]  Hey, I'm starting to like this guy.

• [Catwoman sees Batman for the first time] 

  Catwoman : Hmm, probably my imagination.

  Batman : Probably not.

  Catwoman : Magnificent.

  Batman : I suggest you save your flattery for the judge.

• Selina Kyle : You know, it's awfully late for lunch. Would you mind if I took a rain check on our date? Please.

  Bruce Wayne : [thinking about it]  Okay. Tomorrow?

  Selina Kyle : Thanks. That'll give me time to take care of some business tonight.

  Bruce Wayne : Actually, I plan to work late myself.

• Batman : I heard gunfire.

  Catwoman : Occupational hazard.

  [he moves to remove her mask] 

  Catwoman : No. Let's keep the mystery.

  Batman : If I don't unmask you, the police will.

• Catwoman : [Batman saves her from falling]  My hero.

  [kissing him, she lets go when they land safely] 

  Catwoman : That was for saving my cat.

  Batman : Is that all it was for?

• Maven : Aren't you even a little excited about your date? I mean, Bruce Wayne is tall, dark, and disgustingly rich.

  Selina Kyle : I'd rather it were Batman.

• Selina Kyle : Mr. Wayne, my secretary Maven.

  Bruce Wayne : How do you do? Uh, please, "Bruce". I'm very flattered.

  Selina Kyle : Please understand, it's purely for the animals, Mr. Wayne. You're off the hook.

  Bruce Wayne : But you're not.

  Selina Kyle : I beg your pardon?

  Bruce Wayne : [blushing]  You bought a date, and I'm honor-bound, and delighted, to deliver. I warn you, I'm not a man who gives up easily.

• Catwoman : [after Isis steals a diamond necklace]  Purr-fect, my love. Let's go home.

  Batman : [watching from the rooftop]  So, our new cat burglar's a woman.
