Batman : Cat burglar pulling another score?
Selina Kyle : What?
Batman : Wasn't sure I'd see you again.
Selina Kyle : Yeah, well, things were getting a little hot for me, so... how could they do that to her? That piece of shit cop, Kenzie. Her body was in his car. I'm gonna find him and I'm gonna make him pay. You gonna help me?
Batman : Help you?
Selina Kyle : Yeah. I thought you were "Vengeance."
Batman : Your friend got involved with the wrong people. She didn't know any better. Maybe you should have explained it to her.
Selina Kyle : What the hell is that supposed to mean?
Batman : It means your choices have consequences.
-
Batman : Was it worth it?
Selina Kyle : What?
Batman : Compromising yourself for money. What'd you have to do to set up that score? How close did you have to get to Penguin? To Falcone?
Selina Kyle : You don't know what the hell you're talking about. Falcone owes me that money.
Batman : He owes you?
Selina Kyle : Yeah, and a lot more.
Batman : Oh, really? Why's that?
Selina Kyle : You know what? I can't even talk to you.
Batman : [stopping her from leaving] No! I want to know why a guy like Falcone would owe you anything.
Selina Kyle : Because he's my father! My mother worked at the 44 Below. Just like Anni. She used to take me there when I was a little girl.
Batman : To the club?
Selina Kyle : Yeah. I hid out in the dressing room while she worked. Used to see him there. He scared the shit out of me. And I could never understand why he looked at me the way he did. Then one night, my mother told me who he was. When I was seven, my mother was murdered. Strangled. Never found out who. Probably some creep from the club. Anyway, social services came to take me away, and he didn't say a thing. Couldn't even look at me. He owes me that money.
Batman : I'm sorry. For what I said.
Selina Kyle : Ah, it's all right. You assume the worst in people. Which, well... maybe we're not so different after all.
-
Catwoman : What, do you live in a cave?
-
Catwoman : The bat and the cat. It's got a nice ring.
-
Batman : You're leaving.
Selina Kyle : [jumping in surprise] Jesus. Don't you ever just say hello?
Batman : Where will you go?
Selina Kyle : I don't know. Upstate. Bludhaven, maybe. Why? You asking me to stay?
[getting her answer from his silence]
Selina Kyle : You know this place is never gonna change. With Carmine gone, it's only gonna get worse for you. There's gonna be a power grab. It'll be bloody.
Batman : I know. But the city can change.
Selina Kyle : It won't.
Batman : I have to try.
-
Batman : Rata Alada. A falcon has wings, too.
James Gordon : Falcone is the rat? Falcone works for you guys? The mayor? The D.A.?
Kenzie : No. We work for him. Everybody does.
Batman : How?
Kenzie : Through Renewal. Renewal is everything.
James Gordon : The Renewal Fund?
Kenzie : Yeah. After Thomas Wayne died, they all went after it like vultures. The mayor, Falcone, Maroni. Everyone got in on it. It was perfect for making bribes, laundering money. A huge charitable fund with no oversight. Everybody got a piece. But Falcone wanted more. So he orchestrated a play to take Maroni down big. He'd rat out his drops operation, make the careers of everybody that went after him, and then install them all as his puppets. You think this goddamn election matters? Falcone's the mayor. He's been the mayor for the last 20 years.
Catwoman : Come on, Vengeance. Let's go kill that son of a bitch. This creep, too. Let's finish this.
Kenzie : [cowering as she raises her gun] Oh, God!
Batman : No! We'll get him. But not that way.
Catwoman : There is no other way! He owns the city!
Batman : Cross that line, you'll become just like him.
-
Selina Kyle : Hey, Dad.
Carmine Falcone : What?
Selina Kyle : I'm Maria Kyle's kid. You remember her?
Carmine Falcone : Yeah. Just... just put down the gun, honey.
Selina Kyle : This is for my mother.
[as she fires, the building's power goes out]
-
Selina Kyle : [Batman stops her from killing Falcone] He has to pay!
Batman : You don't have to pay with him. You paid enough.
-
Batman : Dangerous crowd you're stealing from.
Catwoman : [jumping in surprise] Jesus. Is this how you get your kicks, hon? Sneaking up on girls in the dark?
Batman : Is that why you work in the club? It was all just a score?
Catwoman : You know, I would love to sit and go over every gory detail with you, bat boy, but, uh, those assholes are coming back.
-
District Attorney Gil Colson : You want a drop?
Selina Kyle : Uh, no, I'm good. But you enjoy.
District Attorney Gil Colson : Hope you don't mind. I got a lot on my shoulders with that psycho running around.
Batman : He's wasted.
Selina Kyle : No shit.
-
District Attorney Gil Colson : I mean, this Riddler, he's going after the most powerful people in the city. He knows so much.
Travis : He doesn't know shit, man.
District Attorney Gil Colson : What are you talking about? Yeah, he does! What about that rat...
Ritchie : Hey, hey. Gil, come on.
Batman : Hey.
Ritchie : Think maybe you had a little too much. Slow down.
Batman : The rat. Ask him about the rat.
Selina Kyle : [putting her hand on Colson's leg] Hey, what's this about a rat?
District Attorney Gil Colson : I mean, there was a rat. We had an informant. We had big-time information on Salvatore Maroni. That's how we got him out of the drops business.
Batman : He's talking about the Maroni case.
District Attorney Gil Colson : But if this guy knows, it's gonna come out. And when it does, this whole city's gonna come apart.
-
Batman : [using Selina as his eyes and ears inside the 44 Below] These guys have a little problem with eye contact, don't they?
Selina Kyle : Feels good, doesn't it?
[passing by a group of patrons]
Selina Kyle : Jesus, I hate dropheads.
Batman : Really? 'Cause when I first saw you, it looked like you were dealing for Penguin.
Selina Kyle : You don't know what you're talking about. Can we not... can we not do this right now?
Batman : [recognizing someone she passes] Wait. Who was that?
Selina Kyle : Oh, I saw him.
Batman : Look back.
Selina Kyle : If I look back, it's gonna be a whole can of worms.
Batman : I need to see his face.
Selina Kyle : Jesus.
Batman : [getting an ID] That's the DA. Gil Colson.
Selina Kyle : And he's coming over. You happy?
