Scenes with Robin

10 scenes

If you please, to take off the mask to give the better picture?

Commissioner Gordon

Great Scott! Batman take off his mask?
Chief O'Hara: The woman must be mad!

Please...Chief O'Hara...all of you. This young lady is a stranger to our shores. Her request is not unnatural, however, impossible to grant.

Impossible?

Indeed. If Robin and I were to remove our masks, the secret of our true identities would be revealed.

Commissioner Gordon

Completely destroying their value as ace crimefighters.
Chief O'Hara: Sure, ma'am. Not even Commisioner Gordon and meself know who they really are.

Robin

In fact, our own relatives we live with don't know.

But your so curious costumes...

Robin

Don't be put off by them, ma'am. Underneath this garb, we're perfectly ordinary Americans.

You are like the masked vigilantes in the Westerns, no?

Commissioner Gordon

Certainly not! Batman and Robin are fully deputized agents of the law.

Robin

Support your police! That's our message!

Well said, Robin...and no better way to end this press conference...thank you, and good day.

Gordon
[Batman, Robin, Commissioner Gordon, and Chief O'Hara consider which supercriminal might have been behind the fake yacht and exploding shark attack]

Could be any one of them, but which one? W...Which ones?
O'Hara: [gasps]

Pretty fishy what happened to me on that ladder.

Gordon

You mean, where there's a fish, there could be a Penguin.

Robin

But wait, it happened at sea. See? "C" for Catwoman.

Yet, an exploding shark....was pulling my leg.

Gordon

The Joker!
O'Hara: All adds up to a sinister riddle. Riddle-er. Riddler?

Gordon

Oh, a thought strikes me. [exhales] So dreadful I scarcely dare give it utterance.

The four of them. Their forces combined....

Robin

Holy nightmare!

Robin
[In the Batcave, Batman and Robin prepare to leave in the Batmobile]

Atomic batteries to power. Turbines to speed.

Roger. Ready to move out.

Robin
[Moments after an off-camera explosion, we see Batman and Robin speeding in their Batboat]

Gosh, Batman. The nobility of the almost-human porpoise.

True, Robin. It was noble of that animal to hurl himself into the path of that final torpedo. He gave his life for ours.

Fangschliester
[Batman calls Vice Admiral Fangschliester at the Pentagon about recently sold submarines]

Answer affirmative, Batman! We disposed of a war surplus submarine last Friday. A pre-atomic model. To some chap named, uh, "P. N. Guin".

P. N. Guin?

Robin

The Penguin!

Did this P. N. Guin leave an address?

Fangschliester

No, just a post office box number. Would you like it?

No, thank you, Admiral. [gritting his teeth] You've been very helpful.

Fangschliester

Avast and belay, Batman. Your tone sounds rather grim. We haven't done anything foolish, have we?

[slowly]

Disposing of pre-atomic submarines to persons who don't even leave their full addresses?! Good day, Admiral!

Fangschliester
[They hang up]

Gosh!

[Batman reads Miss Kitka's riddles to Robin]

One: "What has yellow skin and writes?"

Robin

A ballpoint banana.

Right! Two: "What people are always in a hurry?"

Robin

Rushing people? Russians!

Right again! Now, what would you say they mean?

Robin

Banana...Russian...I've got it! Someone Russian is gonna slip on a banana peel and break their neck!

Precisely, Robin! The only possible meaning!

Robin
[Batman and Robin are climbing up the wharf building concealing the United Underworld hideout]

When you think, Batman, with people in weird outfits, like the four super crooks hangin' around here, it's amazing somebody hasn't already reported this place to the police!

It's a low neighborhood, full of rumpots. They're used to curious sights, which they attribute to alcoholic delusions.

Robin

Gosh, drink is sure a filthy thing, isn't it? I'd rather be dead than unable to trust my own eyes.

Robin
[In the Batcave, Penguin's reconstituted pirates all disappear the moment they're touched]

The pirates - they're gone! Popped like balloons! How'd it happen?

Whoever de-hydrated those pirates could not have foreseen their accidental re-hydration with the heavy water we use in recharging the atomic pile!

Robin

Which naturally left them in a highly unstable condition!

You saw it yourself, Robin. The [slaps his hands together] SLIGHTEST impact was sufficient to instantly reduce them to anti-matter!

Robin

Antimatter? You mean they won't be coming back?

No, Robin. Not in this universe. [they jump down from the Bat consoles] Let that be an object lesson in the dangers of tampering with the laws of Mother Nature.

[Batman and Robin spy the Riddler's latest missile-delivered clues]

"What goes up white, and comes down yellow and white?"

Robin

An egg!

"How do you divide seventeen apples among sixteen people?"

Robin

Make apple sauce!

Apples into apple sauce; a unification into one smooth mixture. An egg: nature's perfect container the container of all our hopes for the future!

Robin

A unification and a container of hope? United World Organization!

Precisely, Robin!

Robin
[Batman and Robin are running through the streets of Gotham to the United World headquarters]

Holy marathon! I'm getting a stitch, Batman!

Let's hope it's a stitch in time, Robin! That saves nine of the nine members of the United World Security Council!
