Quotes

Melanie Walker : [while attempting to take a woman's necklace] You'll get another one soon, enough. And you won't have to steal for it.
Jack Walker : Yeah, she earns hers the old fashioned way.
-
Melanie Walker : You know what it's like being uprooted every few weeks, never quite knowing what's gonna be happening next?
Terry McGinnis : I'm beginning to get an idea of what that's like.
Melanie Walker : Two of a kind. That's what we are. I'm Melanie. Melanie Walker.
Terry McGinnis : Terry McGinnis.
Melanie Walker : [he's taken aback when she kisses him] What's wrong?
Terry McGinnis : Nothing. It's... just kind of quick, that's all.
Melanie Walker : With me, it's always been now or never.
Terry McGinnis : Ever consider later?
Melanie Walker : How much later?
Terry McGinnis : I could see you tomorrow night.
Melanie Walker : That'd be great.
Terry McGinnis : Where can I pick you up?
Melanie Walker : Um, better not. Why don't we just meet right here tomorrow at midnight, under the big clock?
Terry McGinnis : I'll be here.
-
Mr. Walker : All right, we've got to start planning the next one. Where's Ten?
Melanie Walker : [entering] Right here.
-
Mr. Walker : How many times do I have to tell you there's no room for mistakes in this business? You've got to keep focused.
Melanie Walker : You haven't.
Mr. Walker : What?
Melanie Walker : This thing you've got for Batman, you're making us take stupid risks. We're gonna get nailed.
Mr. Walker : No one disrespects me or this family. Not for long anyway, and if you can't get behind that, you might as well leave.
Melanie Walker : Amen to that.
-
Terry McGinnis : I got this... this after-school job. Takes up a lot of my time. Too much.
Melanie Walker : Maybe you should ask your boss for more time off.
Terry McGinnis : Not this guy. Him, you don't ask for time off.
Melanie Walker : So what kind of after-school job is this, anyway?
Terry McGinnis : Well, I do errands, sort of. It's kind of hard to describe. What about you? What were you doing out there? How come you didn't go in?
Melanie Walker : Didn't know anyone.
Terry McGinnis : New in town?
Melanie Walker : Perpetually. My parents move around a lot 'cause of work.
Terry McGinnis : Least you get to see the world.
Melanie Walker : Yeah. See the world and lose all your friends.
-
Terry McGinnis : Melanie?
Melanie Walker : Terry, I... I can't see you tonight.
Terry McGinnis : Something come up? Schoolwork?
Melanie Walker : No.
Terry McGinnis : Then what is it?
Melanie Walker : I... I can't see you again. Ever.
Terry McGinnis : Why?
Melanie Walker : It just... didn't work out. I gotta go now.
Terry McGinnis : Melanie, there's something wrong, isn't there? Tell me!
Melanie Walker : There's nothing wrong. Nothing. Goodbye, Terry.

Donna Walker : This family's taken good care of us, and it's always going to be there. But why would you want to throw that away?
Melanie Walker : A... a boy.
Donna Walker : [sighing] Love. Great.
Melanie Walker : It is.
Donna Walker : Melanie, men come and go. Most of them cause nothing but trouble. Some of them are worth it. But not one is worth the sacrifice you're about to make.
Melanie Walker : You don't know this one.
Donna Walker : You didn't see fit to introduce us to him. That's because you knew he wouldn't fit in, right? Someday, the right one will come along, one who will fit in. He'll be your king. You'll have all the money you want, all the freedom, the very finest life can offer, but only if you stick with this family. Well?
-
Jack : [holding a security guard hostage] Looks like a clean getaway.
King : You think so?
[seeing Batman in pursuit]
King : Drop him.
Jack : What?
Ten : You can't do that.
King : Of course I can. You heard what I said! Drop him!
Jack : [throwing the guard off] Sorry, gramps.
[Batman breaks off the pursuit to save him]
King : [pointing his sword at Ten] Don't ever argue with me again.
