Bruce Wayne quotes from Batman and Robin (1997)

Well, he's over-eager. He's impulsive. I can't trust him not to get hurt.

Perhaps the truth is you really don't trust anyone.

Oh, don't tell me you're on his side, again.

Despite all your talents, you are still a novice in the ways of family. Master Dick follows the same star as you but gets there by his own course. You must learn to trust him, for that is the nature of family.

I trust you, Alfred.

But I shan't be here forever.

I must have dozed off. My sincerest apologies.

Oh, there's no apology necessary, Alfred. It's the first time it's happened in 30 years.

Alfred, am I pig headed? Is it always my way or the highway?

Yes, actually. Death and chance stole your parents. But rather than become a victim, you have done everything in your power to control the fates. For what is Batman if not an effort to master the chaos that sweeps our world? An attempt to control death, itself?

But I can't, can I?

None of us can.
