Efrem Zimbalist Jr.: Alfred Pennyworth

Quotes 

• Alfred Pennyworth : I called Batgirl right after you arrived, sir, though apparently not soon enough.

  Batgirl : He's been upstairs.

  Tim Drake : So what? I know how to keep a secret. You can trust me. Honest!

  [as she lifts up his shirt, a watch and a wad of money fall out of his waistband] 

• Batman : What did Two-Face want with you?

  Tim Drake : My old man used to work for Puke-Face, but that was before he split town.

  Batgirl : Your father left you all alone?

  Tim Drake : Big deal. He was never around much, anyway. But I can take care of myself.

  [throwing a batarang] 

  Tim Drake : Ha! See? I found it after you cleared some bangers out of the hood.

  Alfred Pennyworth : My word!

  Tim Drake : Just like Batman, nobody messes with Tim Drake.

  Batman : Except Two-Face.

  Tim Drake : Yeah, I guess my old man took something that belonged to him. But don't ask me where it is. All he left me was this.

  Batman : And a key.

  Batgirl : [taking Shifty's note]  There's an impression.

  [showing Batman] 

  Batgirl : Do you recognize it?

  Batman : Gotham Airport.

• Batgirl : What's the matter?

  Batman : They found a John Doe in Metropolis River whose prints match his father's.

  Tim Drake : That means he's not coming back. My old man, he's gone for good. That's what a John Doe means, right?

  Batgirl : Well, we can't be absolutely...

  Batman : Yes.

  Tim Drake : He was never gonna come back for me, anyway. He was too scared.

  Batman : Of what? What did he take from Two-Face? Why did he hide it?

  Tim Drake : Hey, if I knew, I'd tell you.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Excuse me, sir, but there's something on television you might find enlightening.

• Two-Face : Attention, people of Gotham City. I've got a simple equation for you. One plus one equals Armageddon! When these two liquids are mixed together, they create a nasty gas. Unless I receive $2 million by 2:00 a.m., there'll be two kinds of citizens in Gotham: the dying and the dead.

  Batgirl : He wouldn't!

  Batman : That's not what his father thought. We've got to find Two-Face.

  Tim Drake : I might know where he is. The old Janus movie theater. I followed my old man there once when he was working for Puke-Face.

  Batman : [to Batgirl]  Come on.

  Tim Drake : [following them to the Batmobile]  I wanna go.

  Batman : No, it's too dangerous.

  Tim Drake : But I got a stake in this.

  Batman : [firmly]  I said no.

  Alfred Pennyworth : [watching them depart]  Don't take it personally, lad. He's never been one for debate.

• Batman : Alfred?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Right here, sir. You appear to have suffered quite a shock to the system.

  Batman : The boy?

  Alfred Pennyworth : He's here, too, I'm afraid.

  [looking around, he sees Tim is gone] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : At least, he was.

  [realizing he went upstairs] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : Oh, my.
