You Scratch My Back (1997)

Adrienne Barbeau: Catwoman, Selina Kyle

Quotes 

• Selina Kyle : I thought I felt a chill.

  Batman : I want you to stay away from Nightwing.

  Selina Kyle : [Chuckles]  Mother birds usually know when to let their robins leave the nest. He's a big boy-wonder now. A man wonder, in fact.

  Batman : I don't trust you, Selina.

  Selina Kyle : Of course you don't. That's why it could have never worked out between us.

  Nightwing : Is this a private party?

  Selina Kyle : Don't you men ever use the door?

• Nightwing : What are you doing?

  Catwoman : Just collecting what's mine. The cat's-eye emerald, the pearl of Argentina.

  Nightwing : How's that yours?

  Catwoman : I took it fair and square. Of course, getting it out of the country was another matter. I knew about Enrique's smuggling operation.

  Nightwing : So you slipped it into one of his shipments.

  Catwoman : My only problem was figuring out when the shipment was coming in.

  Nightwing : You played me for a sap.

  Catwoman : Aw, but such a sweet sap. The money the cat's-eye will bring is enough to take us anywhere.

  [Kisses Nightwing] 

  Nightwing : You know I can't do that.

  Catwoman : I guess not. But you can't blame a girl for trying.

• Batman : You all right?

  Nightwing : Just brokenhearted. She led us right to the emerald, just like you said.

  Catwoman : You set "me" up!

  Nightwing : Afraid so.

• Nightwing : [leaping to a rooftop after Catwoman]  Next time, give me a little warning.

  Catwoman : Sorry. This partner thing is new to me.

  Nightwing : Who said anything about...?

• Catwoman : Enrique el Gancho. Ricky the Hook. Used to be an enforcer down in Colombia. You're welcome, by the way.

  Nightwing : I would've had the guy.

  Catwoman : Maybe. So what are we doing here, anyway?

  Nightwing : *I'm* following a lead. Seems the Hook was running last night's show.

  Catwoman : And you'd like to find out what else he's up to.

  Nightwing : Something like that.

  Catwoman : A patrol. Going to be tricky. I'll tell you when we can move.

  Nightwing : We? I don't know what your angle is.

  Catwoman : Why is it so hard for you people to accept that I've changed? Doesn't anybody believe in redemption anymore?

  Nightwing : Why come to me?

  Catwoman : Who else would give me the chance? Certainly not your boss.

  Nightwing : He's not my boss.

  Catwoman : Of course not. You're your own man now, aren't you?

• Catwoman : Thought I set you up?

  Nightwing : It crossed my mind.

• Nightwing : [spotting the Batmobile]  Yeah. There they are, keeping tabs on me like I was some kind of criminal.

  Catwoman : Now you see what I go through.

  [putting the tracker under her cat's collar] 

  Catwoman : Here you go, precious. Have a night on the town.

  [as the cat scurries away, they watch the Batmobile peel out in pursuit] 

  Catwoman : We shouldn't be bothered anymore. Wanna play?

• Nightwing : I told you I didn't need...

  Catwoman : A gift.

  [she blows him a kiss, then acrobatically leaps away; the duct-taped gun-runner mumbles incoherently] 

  Nightwing : You said it.
