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 Bruce Wayne: It doesn't mean I don't care anymore. I don't want to let you down, honest, but... but it just doesn't hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can't you? Look, I can give money to the city - they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it's different now! Please! I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn't see this coming. I didn't count on being happy. Please...tell me that it's okay.
Andrea Beaumont: Maybe they already have. Maybe they sent me.

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.
