Scott Cleverdon: Thomas Blake

Quotes 

• Thomas Blake : I should kill you, you know. There's no reason not to.

  Catwoman : [sheepishly]  I could give you one. Or two.

  Thomas Blake : No one's ever eluded us for as long as you did. What's your secret?

  Catwoman : What's yours? No one's ever chased me as long as you did. Normally, I like men who don't know when to quit, but...

  Thomas Blake : We're deeply committed to our faith.

  Catwoman : Ah, yes. Your faith. Why don't you tell me all about it?

  Female Cultist : She's stalling. Let's kill her and be done with it!

  Thomas Blake : She asked about our faith. That's the first step towards conversion.

  [Unshackles Catwoman's ankles and wrists] 

  Catwoman : And conversion's good for the soul. Not to mention the body.

• Thomas Blake : [holding Batman's utility belt]  Looking for this? I wanted to make sure the odds would be fair.

  [something growls] 

  Thomas Blake : He's anxious to meet you.

  Batman : One of your cats?

  Thomas Blake : For you, Batman, our ultimate cat. Our geneticists have been working on this project for years. You're about to see what some judicious gene-splicing can do.

• Female Cultist : Can't you tell? She doesn't care about our faith. She's just trying to save her skin.

  Thomas Blake : We'll soon find out how sincere she is.

  Catwoman : Yeah, you will. What are you talking about?

  Thomas Blake : Our initiation.

  Catwoman : You mean like membership oaths and fees and all that?

  Thomas Blake : There's considerably more to it. Are you interested?

  Catwoman : Very.

• Thomas Blake : I heard a noise.

  [seeing the unconscious Batman] 

  Thomas Blake : What's he doing here?

  Catwoman : He... he tried to rescue me.

  Thomas Blake : Didn't have much luck, did he?

  Catwoman : No more than usual.

  Thomas Blake : We need blood to sanctify the statue. Our prayers are answered. Take him downstairs.

  Catwoman : What's downstairs?

  Thomas Blake : You'll see.

  Catwoman : But what about my initiation?

  Thomas Blake : There's no need for that now. You've just proven yourself. You're one of us.
