A Touch of Curaré (1999)

Kevin Conroy: Bruce Wayne

Quotes 

• Terry McGinnis : You should have seen her, Bruce. She sure swings a mean Batarang.

  Bruce Wayne : [Smiles]  She always did.

• Terry McGinnis : That's her. Kind of blurry.

  Bruce Wayne : It's the only photo Interpol has. It was taken at the airport assassination in Berlin.

  Terry McGinnis : Who is she?

  Bruce Wayne : Curaré. She's as lethal as her name. A member of the Society of Assassins. No one knows her original name anymore, or her face.

  Terry McGinnis : What about the sword?

  Bruce Wayne : A scimitar. Sharpened by lasers to an edge no thicker than a molecule.

  Terry McGinnis : Guess you'll want me to keep an eye on the commissioner.

  Bruce Wayne : No. Barbara Gordon's not the target.

  Barbara Gordon : Her husband is.

  Terry McGinnis : [surprised to see her]  How did she... man, what do we do?

• Virtual Anchor : The unnamed woman, believed to be a hired assassin, escaped from police custody. Her whereabouts are unknown.

  Terry McGinnis : Did you hear that?

  Bruce Wayne : It's all right. Curaré won't be going after Sam anymore. She has other concerns now.

• Bruce Wayne : The 6:15 metro takes the most direct route and makes the fewest stops. Good for security. I'm betting Sam will be on that one. There are several points where you could jump aboard.

  Terry McGinnis : Yeah, my one-way trip back to juvie.

  Bruce Wayne : I'm figuring your best bet would be this juncture.

  Terry McGinnis : Come on. I told you what the commish said. What are you trying to prove?

  Bruce Wayne : I'm just trying to protect her. It's what I do.

  Terry McGinnis : Okay. But this is Gordon's collar. I like her, Bruce. I respect her. I'm not gonna cross her.

• Bruce Wayne : Do you know what happens when a member of the Society of Assassins fails to kill his target? He *becomes* the target.

  Terry McGinnis : You mean they kill their own?

  Bruce Wayne : Except they've never had to. Not one of them has ever failed. And Curaré is the best they have.

• Barbara Gordon : I appreciate what you did tonight, but I want you to stay out of police business. Of course, maybe I'm talking to the wrong guy. Hard to believe you're still remaking your image at this late date.

  Bruce Wayne : I never forced him.

  Terry McGinnis : It's what I wanted.

  Barbara Gordon : That's what we all thought, at the beginning. I've looked the other way so far, but I'm not my father. I don't want to have to come back here again. Capisce?

  Bruce Wayne : Does this mean you won't be wanting the information I have on Curaré?

  Barbara Gordon : [taking a disc]  I mean it, Bruce. Stay out of it.
