Quotes
-
Dick Grayson : I think Bruce is worried he can't take this ninja. He won't admit it, of course.
Alfred Pennyworth : He never admits fears, Master Dick. Haven't you learned that by now?
[Alfred turns from sink, and both Dick and Alfred gasp when they see Bruce standing in the doorway wearing formalwear]
Alfred Pennyworth : Ah, Master Bruce, I-I - ah, uh, uh...
Bruce Wayne : I'll be at the museum. I should be back by midnight.
[leaves, closing the door]
Dick Grayson : Do you think he heard us?
Alfred Pennyworth : Who can tell?
-
Robin : You think he'll ever come back?
Bruce Wayne : It doesn't matter. I defeated him once. If necessary, I can do it again.
Robin : He did have you worried for a while, didn't he?
[For a moment, Bruce looks angry, then smiles]
Bruce Wayne : Thanks for your help. It would have been harder to defeat him with Summer watching. Maybe even impossible.
[Robin looks surprised, then grins]
-
Alfred Pennyworth : Master Bruce, I'm afraid there's been another robbery of a Wayne Enterprises company.
Dick Grayson : That's the sixth one in two weeks.
Bruce Wayne : Seventh.
[Dick makes a face behind Bruce's back]
Bruce Wayne : Where, Alfred?
-
Robin : So what did you tell Summer?
Bruce Wayne : That Batman showed up and took care of the ninja. That's true enough.
-
[having incapacitated Batman with a gasgun, the ninja Kyodai Ken raises his sword to strike, when a batarang thrown by Robin knocks his sword away]
Robin : Listen, dipstick, Batman's my pal. He can be a major jerk, but you gotta love him. And NOBODY tries to fillet him when I'M around.
Kyodai Ken : [to Batman] Another time, then.
[runs off]
-
[Dick attempts to join Batman on patrol, but he refuses, driving off]
Robin : What's with him? Bat got his tongue?
Alfred Pennyworth : You know Master Bruce; he's not one to discuss his feelings.
Robin : Isn't THAT the truth? Something's eating him, Alfred. I don't know what... yet.
-
[after Bruce escapes his bonds, he rises and confronts Kyodai]
Kyodai Ken : Oh, really.
[They circle each other. Bruce throws a self-conscious glance at Summer - and Kyodai throws him across the room]
Kyodai Ken : You're getting soft, Wayne. Even a white belt could avoid that throw!
[throws him again]
Kyodai Ken : Tired already, Wayne? I haven't even broken a sweat yet. GET UP!
Robin : [watching from above] Come on, Bruce...
[another throw]
Summer Gleeson : Stop it! Can't you see he's no match for you?
Kyodai Ken : He never was.
[one last throw]
Kyodai Ken : I've had enough exercise for one evening. Now it ends, Wayne.
[Robin throws a ball bearing with a sling. Instead of hitting Kyodai, it hits a carpet roll above Summer's head, which rolls down over her eyes]
Summer Gleeson : Hey!
[Bruce attacks Kyodai, throwing him across the room]
Robin : Yes!
Kyodai Ken : Gotten a second wind, have you? Good! This will make your defeat all the more satisfying.
Bruce Wayne : Shut up and fight.
[Kyodai attacks. Bruce defends, then throws him again, following up with a flying kick]
Bruce Wayne : You were right about one thing, Kyodai - now it ends.
[Kyodai grabs a statue, hurls it through the window, and escapes]
-
[Alfred is washing dishes while Dick is sitting on the kitchen counter]
Dick Grayson : Alfred, do you know anything about Bruce's training in Japan?
Alfred Pennyworth : Of course, dear boy, I was there. Lovely country. I especially like the tea.
Dick Grayson : You ever hear of somebody named Kyodai Ken?
Alfred Pennyworth : Oh, indeed. He was the only student at the martial arts school who could consistently defeat Master Bruce. A bad egg, that one.
