Quotes 

• Talia : Oh, beloved, why has he forsaken me? Does he think I've betrayed him?

  Bruce Wayne : I can't pretend to know what Ra's thinks, Talia. The only thing he and I have ever agreed upon is our feelings towards you.

• Talia : You're so like him, making me choose between the two of you.

• Talia : The completed scroll?

  Bruce Wayne : Yes, and a translation made by Ra's.

  Ra's al Ghul : Did you really think I would be foolish enough not to have this sanctum under observation?

  Talia : Father. You really are alive.

  Ra's al Ghul : Yes, Talia, I am alive. No thanks, I regret to say, are due you for my current state of health.

  Talia : No, Father. You can't believe that. I only tried to save the man I love.

  Bruce Wayne : You've got a serious priority problem, Ra's.

• Bruce Wayne : Talia, I'll do whatever I have to to stop him. You must know that.

  Talia : I do, and though it breaks my heart, I will do what I must, as well.

• Talia : My father, alive?

  Bruce Wayne : It was dear old dad. No mistake.

  Talia : No, he would have found me. He would have told me he was alive.

  Bruce Wayne : I know the face of my most powerful enemy, Talia. He took quite a risk stealing that scroll from me. Why does he want it so badly?

  Talia : It's part of a map. My father has the other half. As long as I can remember, he's been obsessed with finding...

  Bruce Wayne : Finding what?

  Talia : The tomb of the ancient queen Thoth Khepera. It lies somewhere in the Canyon of Tombs. Many who've sought it have vanished.

  Bruce Wayne : And why does Ra's seek it?

  Talia : I don't know. You must believe me.

  Bruce Wayne : I have to go after him, Talia. Will you help me?

• Ra's al Ghul : My apologies to you, daughter. Though I had abandoned you in my heart, obviously, you had not done the same.

  Talia : [turning to ride alongside Batman]  What will you do now?

  Batman : Take them back to the authorities. Your father has much to answer for.

  Talia : [cocking a pistol]  I am truly sorry, beloved, but he is my father. Please dismount.

  [he does so; rejoining Ra's, she cuts his restraints] 

  Ra's al Ghul : Another time, Detective.

  Batman : [as they ride off, Ubu tosses him a water canteen]  Yes. Another time.

• Batman : No sign of Ra's. Looks like we beat him here.

  Talia : How did you know where to find it?

  Batman : I saw the scroll's translation.

  Talia : For only a moment.

  Batman : I'm a quick study.

• Batman : The queen's sarcophagus.

  Ra's al Ghul : It's not what it seems, Detective.

  Talia : Father!

  Ra's al Ghul : That chest contains more than a mummy's corpse. Remember, Thoth Khepera was immortal. Her subjects deified her, named her after the ancient gods of infinite knowledge and eternal life, and in a few short moments, I will be privy to those same secrets of life and death.
