Alfred Pennyworth quotes from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)

Played by Efrem Zimbalist Jr.

View Quote Arthur Reeves: He's a loose cannon, commissioner. It's not just my opinion. A lot of people, including the police, think Batman's as unstable as the crooks. What kind of city are we running when we depend on the support of a potential madman!
Alfred Pennyworth: Such rot, sir! Why, you're the very model of sanity. Oh, by the way, I pressed your tights and put away your exploding gas balls.
Batman: [deadpan] Thank you, Alfred.

View Quote Alfred Pennyworth: I read about your anonymous exploits, and I must say... are you sure you won't reconsider rugby?
Bruce Wayne: Sorry, Alfred, but the plan is working. I had the edge. I could feel it! There was only one thing wrong. They weren't afraid of me. I've got to strike fear in them.

View Quote Batman: You think you know everything about me, don't you?
Alfred Pennyworth: I diapered your bottom; I bloody well ought to... sir!

View Quote Bruce Wayne: I couldn't save her, Alfred.
Alfred Pennyworth: I don't think she wanted to be saved, sir. Vengeance blackens the soul, Bruce. I always feared you would become that which you fought against. You walk the edge of that abyss every night. But you haven't fallen in, and I thank heaven for that. But Andrea fell into that pit years ago, and no one, not even you, could've pulled her back.
