- Robin: You were right, y'know, not bringing me along. You knew I'd take it too personally.
- Batman: It wasn't that, Robin. It wasn't that at all. Zucco's taken so much, caused you so much pain. I couldn't stand the thought that he might... take you, too.
- [pause]
- Robin: Come on, partner. It's been a long night.
- [Robin dangles Tony Zucco, his parents' murderer, over a fall]
- Batman: Robin! Enough!
- [more calmly]
- Batman: You can't let your emotions get the best of you.
- Robin: [angrily] Stuff your advice, Batman! You and your stone-cold heart! You don't know how I feel! How could you?
- [Batman is silent, while Robin realises what he's said]
- Robin: Batman, I... I didn't mean... .I'm sorry.
- Dick Grayson - Age 10: Man, oh, man! Is this where you live?
- Batman: This is where I work. You're the first... correction, second person to see it.
- Dick Grayson - Age 10: Why'd you bring me here?
- Batman: Because I want to know just how badly you want Tony Zucco.
- Dick Grayson - Age 10: What do you mean? Who are you?
- Alfred Pennyworth: [Dick gasps as Bruce unmasks himself] I take it Master Dick's visit will now be indefinite?
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: Nine years, creep! Nine years of looking over my shoulder. No more. I'm sending you straight to a bat box.
- [he pulls the trigger, but his gun clicks empty]
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: No!
- [Batman throws a gas bomb]
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: [kicking a goon away] What are you deadbeats standing around here for? Get out there! Now!
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: [Batman falls through the ceiling of his hideout] Aw, what's the matter, Bats, you twist your knee? Looks like you could use a little protection about now, and protection is my racket.
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: The circus boy! My little material witness. What are you doing here?
- [Dick kicks him in the shin]
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: Ow! Why, you...
- Dick Grayson - Age 10: [struggling against his grip] Hey!
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: I was just about to leave town because of you. Looks like I'm gonna have a change in travel plans.
- Batman: [punching him, hard] Only place you're going is up the river, you scum!
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: [after Batman dove into the river to save Dick] So much for the Bat and the Brat.
- Chi-Chi: So when's the last time you ate, kid? Christmas?
- Dick Grayson - Age 10: Sorry, but I'm kinda in a rush.
- Chi-Chi: Hey, you can't expect to find this uncle of yours at this hour! This is the only place around that's still open. Right, Berty?
- Berty: Uh-huh. Hey! I know that dead beat!
- Dick Grayson - Age 10: You do?
- Berty: Yeah. He's been here. Always barking orders. Never tippin'. I've seen him come from that building across the basin.
- Chi-Chi: That place's been condemned for years, right?
- Berty: Yeah. And may it fall on his head, the louse.
- Dick Grayson - Age 10: [runs up to Zucco] You creep! I hate you! I hate you!
- [punches Zucco]
- Anthony 'Tony' Zucco: [throws Dick away from him] Get away!
