Scenes with Lucius

5 scenes

I need a new suit.

Lucius
[looking at the business suit Bruce is wearing]

Three buttons is a little 90's, Mr. Wayne.

I'm not talking fashion, so much as function. [Fox inspects the new designs.]
Lucius You want to be able to turn your head.

[dryly]

Well, it would make backing out of the driveway easier.

Coleman Reese
[One of Wayne Enterprises' accountants has traced the money and figured out that Bruce Wayne must be Batman, and confronts Lucius Fox with schematics of the Wayne Enterprises prototype Tumbler, which is obviously the Batmobile]

I want $10 million a year, for the rest of my life.

Lucius

Let me get this straight. You think that your client, one of the wealthiest, most powerful men in the world, is secretly a vigilante who spends his nights beating criminals to a pulp with his bare hands...and your plan is to blackmail this person? [pauses, smiles] Good luck.

Coleman Reese
[The accountant slowly realizes what Wayne/Batman could do to him. He gets up from his seat and leaves the schematics on Fox's desk]

You can...keep these...
[Lucius calmly goes back to reading his paperwork]

Lucius
[Lucius is showing Bruce the equipment he will need to successfully abduct Lau in Hong Kong]

Now, for high altitude jumps, you're gonna need oxygen and stabilizers. I must say, compared to your usual requests, jumping out of an airplane is pretty straightforward. [opens up a case containing the oxygen mask and tanks]

What about getting back into the plane?

Lucius
[looks at Bruce]

I'd recommend a good travel agent.

Without it landing.

Lucius

Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne.

Lucius
[Lucius then shows Bruce the new Batsuit and describes its features; Bruce picks up a gauntlet and accidentally causes the projectiles to fire into a metal cabinet]

Perhaps you should read the instructions first.

Lucius
[Bruce looks slightly sheepish as he puts the gauntlet back]

Now, this new armor is lighter, so you'll be able to move more easily, but there is a tradeoff in that you'll have less protection and be more vulnerable to bullets and knives.

How will it hold up against dogs?

Lucius
[with sarcasm]

We talking rottweilers or chihuahuas? [Bruce gives him a dirty look] Should do fine against cats.

[Lucius has just explained to Bruce a new cell phone sonar technology developed by Wayne Enterprises]

Sonar? [getting excited] Just like a...

Lucius
[cutting him off in a "don't get any ideas" tone]

...A submarine, Mr. Wayne. Like a submarine.
