Quotes 

• [to elderly Bruce Wayne] 

  Derek Powers : So how are you holding up, Bruce?

  Bruce Wayne : With a cane.

• [Terry looks at the Grey Ghost costume] 

  Bruce Wayne : Way before your time.

• Commissioner Barbara Gordon : I hear you wrangled yourself a new errand boy.

  Bruce Wayne : I never wrangled anyone. Every one of you came to me.

  Commissioner Barbara Gordon : Maybe for once you should try to talk someone out of it.

  Bruce Wayne : Would it have worked for you?

• Bruce Wayne : [while Terry is piloting the Batmobile]  Remember, easy gestures, let the suit do the work...

  Batman : [speeding]  WOO-HOO!

  Bruce Wayne : Mind not doing that?

  Batman : Sorry.

  Bruce Wayne : You scratch it, no allowance.

• Bruce Wayne : Her name's Inque. She's a corporate saboteur. Interpol's been after her for years. It looks like Powers is her new employer.

  Terry McGinnis : What is she?

  Bruce Wayne : The results of a mutagenic experiment. The details aren't known.

  Terry McGinnis : So how do you stop her?

  Bruce Wayne : That's where thinking on your feet comes in.

• Batman : She's heading upstairs!

  Bruce Wayne : [locking the stairway to the main house]  Pays to be prepared.

  Inque : Someone's got a secret.

  Batman : [seeing her attach to the door]  She's getting through.

  [as Bruce presses a button, the door is shocked with an electric charge] 

  Batman : Man! You *are* prepared.

  Bruce Wayne : [seeing her leap up to the ceiling]  She won't get through that way, either. There's a layer of solid steel.

  Batman : [with a rumble, debris begins to fall]  I think she has something else in mind.

• Terry McGinnis : What did you send me into? It was like some kind of Blob. You should have warned me!

  Bruce Wayne : I tried. You have to learn to think on your feet.

• Derek Powers : I must say, it's so nice to see you taking an interest after all these years.

  [seeing Bruce notice an open folder, he closes it] 

  Derek Powers : We're lucky to have you as a resource.

  Bruce Wayne : Mm-hmm.

  Derek Powers : You should come by more often. I'll set you up with the finest office in the building; just not this one.

  [Bruce reaches out to touch a statue] 

  Derek Powers : Ah, I'd prefer you not touch that.

  Bruce Wayne : In case you're worried, I didn't come here to set up shop again.

  Derek Powers : Why, Bruce, you've misread me. I don't worry.

• Batman : Wayne, you there?

  Bruce Wayne : Go ahead.

  Batman : Is there any time of day I get to have a social life?

  Bruce Wayne : Not in this business.

  Batman : You get a real kick out of this, don't you? Maybe it should be you up here instead of me.

  Bruce Wayne : I'm doing my part.

  Batman : Which is what, again?

  Bruce Wayne : I did some digging after I saw a report on Powers' desk. It seems that he and Foxteca are up for the same job. The government wants a new lunar station, and only one of them gets to build it.

  Batman : So Powers is crippling the competition with sabotage.

  Bruce Wayne : And until we can stop him, you're Foxteca's guardian angel.

• Bruce Wayne : Keep your hands off Foxteca.

  Derek Powers : Pardon me?

  Bruce Wayne : I may not have the leverage on paper anymore, but I still have friends. The Foxes were a valued part of this company for years. I'd hate to find out Wayne-Powers was involved in these attacks.

  Derek Powers : Bruce, let me put your concerns to rest. I'd never do such a thing. Why, Lucius Jr. was still Vice President when I took over.

  Bruce Wayne : I know. You fired him.
