Shannon Kenny: Inque

Quotes 

• Aaron Herbst : Maybe you'd like to wash up, then?

  Inque : No thanks.

  Aaron Herbst : You know, you were in that storm drain for a pretty long time and...

  Inque : I don't like water, OK?

• Bruce Wayne : [upon seeing what looks like Terry]  You got away?

  [as he approaches Terry, he is constricted by an inky tentacle as Terry morphs into Inque] 

  Inque : He didn't get away... and neither will you.

• Aaron Herbst : Inque, what I want more than anything is to be like you.

  Inque : You're serious, aren't you?

  Aaron Herbst : Dead serious. The power you've got, I want it. I've been wanting it a long time.

  Inque : Then you'll get it.

• Batman : It's some kind of arena. Got a big glass dome. Looks like nobody's been inside in years.

  Bruce Wayne : What else can you tell me?

  Batman : Sorry. I wasn't exactly awake when they brought me here, but...

  Bruce Wayne : [hearing him trail off]  But what? Terry? Terry, you all right? Answer me!

  Inque : That's the old guy, isn't it? This is gonna be perfect. Tell him you're at the old Gotham Hills arena and he should come right away.

  [Batman remains silent; groaning, she wraps an inky tentacle around his throat] 

  Inque : Tell him.

  [he still remains silent] 

  Inque : All right, then. Hope you're still listening, old man. We're at the Gotham Hills arena. Get over here right now... or Batman dies.

  Batman : No! Stay where you are! She'll kill us both if you...

  [his words are muffled, and it's revealed she's kissing him] 

  Inque : He'll be here. What is he, your father? Grandfather? Well, I'll find out soon enough.

• Inque : [oozing into Aaron's apartment]  What's the matter, Aaron? Surprised to see me?

  Aaron Herbst : H-How did you know where I live?

  Inque : How could I not know? All those months of listening to you prattle on and on about your pathetic life.

  Aaron Herbst : You could hear me?

  Inque : Yes, Aaron, I could hear you. And see you, too.

  [he facepalms] 

  Inque : But don't worry. I'm not gonna tell anyone, not unless you're stupid enough to try and call the cops.

  Aaron Herbst : I won't.

  Inque : You sure?

  [he nods] 

  Inque : Good. You play this right, and I might give you a nice reward.

  Aaron Herbst : I'd do anything for you. Anything.

  Inque : I had a feeling you'd say that.

• Inque : [looking down at the unconscious Batman]  You know, I once took an assignment to kill him.

  Aaron Herbst : Then do it and get it over with.

  Inque : No. Not until I get the old one, too.
