Scenes with Dick Grayson/Robin

3 scenes
Alfred

May I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, sir?

Batman

I'll get drive-through.

Batman

I read your work. Insightful. Naive, but insightful.

Dr. Chase Meridian

I'm flattered. Not every girl makes a superhero's night table.

Commissioner Gordon
[about Two-Face]

Can we reason with him? He's holding innocent people hostage up there.

Dr. Chase Meridian

He'll slaughter them without thinking twice.

Batman

Agreed. A trauma powerful enough to create an alternate personality leaves the victim-

Meridian
[interrupting]

-in a world where normal rules of right and wrong no longer apply.

Batman

Exactly.

Dr. Meridian

Like you. [off his look] Well, let's just say that I could write a hell of a paper on a grown man who dresses like a flying rodent.

Batman

Bats aren't rodents, Dr. Meridian.

Riddler
(Riddler speaks with Two-Face in his lair for the first time)

I simply love what you've done to this place; heavy metal meets house-and-garden. Splendid! It's so dark, and Gothic, and disgustingly decadent... yet so bright, and chipper, and... conservative. It's so you! And yet, so YOU! Yes, very few people are both a summer and a winter, but... you pull it off nicely.

Two-Face
(Two-Face smiles, then fires a gun into the air close to Riddler's ear, making him recoil)

Just get to the point, big boy.

Riddler

Has anyone told you that you have a SERIOUS IMPULSE CONTROL PROBLEM?!

Riddler

Hey, Two-Face! Show me how to punch a guy!

Two-Face

It's darn simple, my boy; ball up a fist, reach way back, and assert yourself! [punches out cop]

Riddler

Ooo! Sounds fun...lemme try, lemme try!

Two-Face

Ball up a fist...

Riddler
[clenches fist]

Ball up a fist!

Two-Face

Reach way back...

Riddler
[winds up]

Reach way back!

Two-Face

And assert yourself!

Riddler

Assert yours—[punches another cop, but is ineffective] OW! OW!

Alfred
[in Bruce's monitor watch]

I'm sorry to bother you, sir. But I have some rather distressing news about Master Dick.

Bruce

What? Is he alright?

Alfred

I'm afraid Master Dick has, uhm, gone traveling.

Wayne

He ran away?

Alfred

Actually, he took... the car.

Wayne

He boosted the Jag?

Alfred

No, sir. Not the Jaguar. The other car.

Wayne

The Bentley?

Alfred

No, sir... the other car.

Dick Grayson
[while beating up Batman]

Bastard! I should've been you! If you had told Two-Face who you were at the circus... They'd still be alive!

Batman

If Bruce Wayne could've given his life for your family, he would have.

Dick Grayson

All I can think about every second of the day is getting Two-Face. He took my whole life. And when I was out there tonight, I imagined it was him that I was fighting, even when I was fighting you. And all the pain went away. Do you understand?

Bruce Wayne

Yes, I do.

Grayson

Good, 'cause you gotta help me find him. And when we do, I'm the one who kills him.

Wayne

So, you're willing to take a life.

Grayson

Long as it's Two-Face.

Wayne

Then it will happen this way: you make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.

Grayson

You can't understand. Your family wasn't killed by a maniac.

Wayne

Yes, they were. We're the same.

Dick Grayson

I need a name! Batboy, Nightwing, I dunno. What's a good sidekick name?

Bruce Wayne

How about Dick Grayson, college student?

Dick Grayson

Screw you!

Riddler
(switching on a garish green overcoat with flashing light-up question marks)

Like the jacket? It keeps me safe when I'm jogging at night!

Dr. Chase Meridian

Batman will come for me.

The Riddler
[fake British accent]

Batman? Batman, you say? Coming for you? [laughs, then makes weird noises] I'm... counting on it!

Bruce Wayne
[Bruce and Alfred are trying to figure out the connection between numbers in five riddles.]

Each riddle contains a number, and they go in this order: 13, 1, 8 and 5. Perhaps... letters of the alphabet?

Alfred Pennyworth

Of course! 13 is M.

Wayne

1 would be A, 8 would be H, and 5 would be E.

Alfred

M-A-H-E...

Wayne

Perhaps 1 and 8 are 18.

Alfred

18 is... R. M-R-E.

Wayne

How about "Mr. E"?

Alfred

"Mystery".

Wayne

And another name for mystery?

Alfred

Enigma.

Wayne

Mr. E. Nygma... Edward Nygma. Stickley's suicide was obviously a computer-generated forgery.

Alfred

You really are quite bright, despite what people say.

Two-Face
[Two-Face and The Riddler are trying to sink the Batboat.]

B12!

The Riddler

Hit! And my favorite vitamin, I might add.

Robin

Holey rusted metal, Batman!

Batman

Huh?

Robin

The ground, it's all metal. It's full of holes. You know, holey.

Batman

Oh.

Batman

I see without seeing. To me, darkness is as clear as daylight. What am I?

The Riddler

Why, that's easy, you're as blind as a bat!

Batman

Exactly

The Riddler
(The Riddler and Two-Face are robbing a jewelry store) (about a diamond he's picked up)

Here's a good one!

Two-Face
(holding a huge diamond)

No, no! There is a good one.

Two-Face
(upon seeing a newspaper reporting Batman's survival) [wails dramatically]
The Riddler

That's just what I said. And then I taught my doggy a new trick! How to map the human mind.

Dr. Chase Meridian
[Dr. Meridian is visiting an insane Nygma in Arkham Asylum.]

Edward, please. Who is Batman?

Edward Nygma

I'm Batman! [laughs manically as he flaps his arms like wings]

Dr. Meridian
[outside]

Your secret's safe. He's a complete wacko.

Bruce Wayne

Wacko. That a... technical term?

Bruce

WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU WERE DOING?!

Dick

You got a real gratitude problem, you know that, Bruce. I need a name! "Batboy"? "Nightwing"? I dunno, what's a good sidekick name?

Bruce

How about "Dick Grayson, college student"?

Dick

Screw you! I just saved your life, you owe me.

Bruce

You were totally out of control. You're gonna get yourself killed.

Dick

Your looking at your new partner.

Bruce

No!

Dick

Bruce, whenever you go all night, I'll be watching and wherever Batman goes, I'm gonna be right beside him. I mean, how are you gonna stop me?

Bruce

I can stop you.

Dick
[hands Alfred his costume]

Al, put this next to the Batsuit, where it belongs. [gives Bruce a look before leaving]

Bruce
[to Alfred]

And you are encouraging him.

Alfred

Young men with a mind for revenge need little encouragement. They need guidance. You, above all, should know the consequences of the life you choose.

Batman
[preparing to attack the Riddler's island]

What do you suggest, Alfred? By sea? [activates the Bat-Boat] Or by air? [activates the Bat Wing]

Robin
[arriving]

Why not both?

Batman
[looks over Robin's costume]

Who's your tailor?

Alfred

I took the liberty, sir.

Batman
[notices Robin's logo]

"R". What's that stand for?

Robin
[gives Alfred a look]

"Robin". [Alfred smiles; looks back at Batman] Riddler and Two-Face make a pretty lethal combination. Figured you could use a hand.

Batman

Two against two are better odds.

Robin

I can't promise that I won't kill Harvey.

Batman

"Every man's got to go his own way." A friend told me that.

Robin

Not just a friend... [offers his hand]

Batman

A partner. [shakes Robin's hand]
