Bruce
[After watching an underground bare-knuckle boxing match, then to Anatoli at the bar]
The house treats luck like an insult.
Anatoli
Good luck for one is always his brother's misfortune.
Bruce
[In Russian]
But all accounts are balanced in the end. [In English] Three nights with a Bolshoi ballerina and that line was all she taught me.
Anatoli
Not all, I'm sure. Good evening. [Grabs phone and walks away]
James Harmon
[Walks up to Diana with an elderly couple]
I wonder, would you excuse us? [To Diana] There's something I'd like to show you.
Diana
[To couple]
I'm sorry.
James Harmon
[Walks away with Diana]
Now some scholars insist it never happened, but I believe its the action perfectly in keeping with a king who was also a psychopathic killer. For me, its the culmination of 40 years of curating. And I can't believe it, but I've finally got it here. [They walk up to museum case display of sword artifact] It's the sword of Alexander. It's the blade that cut the Gordian Knot. It's a triumph.
Diana
Yes.
James Harmon
Enjoy.
Diana
Thank you. [He walks away]
Bruce
[Approaches]
It's a fake. The real one was sold in '98 on the black market. And now it hangs...
Diana
Over the bed of the Sultan of Hajar. [Looks at him and smiles factually] Excuse me. [Walks away]
Bruce
[Grabs her arm with her glancing down]
Excuse me, miss. The other night you took something that doesn't belong to you. Stealing's not polite.
Diana
Is it stealing if you steal from another thief?
Bruce
Who are you?
Diana
Someone interested in the same man you are.
Bruce
Is that right?
...
Bruce
[Diana attempts to walk past him with him thwarting her]
You know, I bet with that dress, nine out of ten men will let you get away with anything.
Diana
But you're the tenth?
Bruce
Hmm, I'm guessing I'm the first to see through that babe-in-the-woods act. You don't know me, but I've known a few women like you.
Diana
[Turns smiling to him]
I don't think you've ever known a woman like me. You know, it's true what they say about little boys. Born with no natural inclination to share. I didn't steal your drive. I borrowed it. You'll find it in the glove compartment of your car. [Turns to walk away] Mr. Wayne.
Bruce
It's a weapon. It's a rock. A mineral capable of weakening Kryptonian cells. The first sample big enough to mean something turned up in the Indian Ocean three months ago. It is now aboard the White Portuguese being delivered to Lex Luthor. Who I am going to steal it from.
To keep it out of Luthor's hands. To destroy it?
Bruce
No.
You're going to go to war?
Bruce
That son of a bitch brought war to us two years ago. Jesus, Alfred, count the dead. Thousands of people. What's next? Millions? He has the power to wipe out the entire human race, and if we believe there's a 1% chance that he is our enemy, we have to take it as an absolute certainty! And we have to destroy him.
But he is not our enemy!
Bruce
Not today. Twenty years in Gotham, Alfred. we've seen what promises are worth. How many good guys are left. How many stayed that way. Fourteen hours. [Walks away]
