Quotes 

• Big Time : [Breaks down the door to the office]  Richie!

  Richard Armacost : Charlie?

  Batman : The growth hormone...

  Big Time : [Cerros lunges at him and Big Time sends him flying into a window with a punch, then slams Batman and the desk up into the ceiling]  This is your fault, Richie. Look what you did to me!

  Richard Armacost : Now Charlie... none of us wanted this to happen to you.

  [Grabs him by the neck and holds him over the edge of the balcony] 

  Richard Armacost : No! Charlie! Don't!

  Big Time : I protected you, Richie, and you said you'd take care of me. Instead, you told that ant in there that he could walk all over me!

  Richard Armacost : Charlie... please!

  Big Time : Take a look down there, Richie, see how tiny all the people look? That's what you are to me now. You belong with them.

  [Batman frees himself from the ceiling and fires a cable around his legs, making him drop Richard and leaving him hanging from the railing] 

• Terry McGinnis : Charlie was 18, and I was 14. My folks were breaking up and he and I were... being angry kids. Busting windows, shoplifting... and one day Charlie decided to prove himself to this big gang and he... dragged me along on a heist. I didn't even know what we were doing when he climbed in the window.

  Max Gibson : But you went in, too.

  Terry McGinnis : Never said I was bright. Next thing I knew, the cops were shouting "Freeze" and I was doing 90 days in juvie. That was a slap on the wrist next to Charlie. He was in prison for 3 years.

  Max Gibson : And that's why you've been running around with guilt ever since he rolled into town. You don't owe him anything.

  Terry McGinnis : He's my friend, Max, and he's gonna die if I don't do something.

  [Starts to walk away] 

  Max Gibson : You can't bring him to his senses. He has to do that himself.

  Terry McGinnis : Maybe I can at least keep him alive until he does.

• Bruce Wayne : No. I can't risk it.

  Terry McGinnis : 'Cause he's an ex-con? You know about my record. You trust me with all this.

  Bruce Wayne : You didn't spend three years in prison.

  Terry McGinnis : That's right. He did and I didn't. All because I happened to be underage. He and I were the same, Bruce, only I caught a break. I just want to give him one too.

• Terry McGinnis : Dana, you remember Charlie?

  Dana Tan : I remember who he is. Do you?

• Terry McGinnis : Guys, this is Charlie "Big Time" Bigelow. Charlie was always scheming about how he was going to make it big, and the name stuck.

  Big Time : And T.T. is Tiny Terry, 'cause he was always thinking small.
