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.
-
Lucius Fox : Without a doubt, this will be one of the best museum exhibitions Gotham City has ever seen. You can be quite the humanitarian on occasion, Bruce. It's commendable. It's inspiring.
Bruce Wayne : It's deductible.
-
Batman : What could be in that tomb that's more valuable than the love of your daughter?
Ra's al Ghul : Power, Detective. The power once held by almighty Thoth Kephera, queen of continents.
-
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 : 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.
-
Bruce Wayne : You surprise me, Ra's. The world's oldest chauvinist chasing after a woman?
Ra's al Ghul : Thoth Khepera was not simply a woman, Detective, nor merely a ruler. Through her flowed the power of the gods. With no more than a gesture, she controlled the force of life and death, and with it, she kept a nation under her thumb for 1,000 years.
Bruce Wayne : You sound like a bad Saturday afternoon serial, Ra's. This is sheer nonsense.
Ra's al Ghul : No, Detective. I know there is a power there to be tapped. My 600 years of life are proof of that power.
-
Alfred Pennyworth : Snake venom?
Batman : From an Egyptian cobra. Extremely deadly.
Alfred Pennyworth : You're certain it was Ra's al Ghul.
Batman : None other.
Alfred Pennyworth : But I thought he died in the Pit months ago.
Batman : So did I. That piece of papyrus is obviously very important to him. I have to find out why.
Alfred Pennyworth : Where are you off to now? Just in case the stockholders ask.
Batman : Gibraltar. There's someone I've been meaning to look up.
