Quotes 

• Bruce Wayne : [at an auction house]  Bored? We've only been here ten minutes.

  Dick Grayson : Ten minutes for you. Ten hours for me. I know it's for a good cause, but...

  [he yawns] 

  Auctioneer : And now, ladies and gentlemen, this magnificent timepiece from the reign of Louis XVI. Who'll start the bidding at $400,000?

  Dick Grayson : You gotta be kidding! I wouldn't use that for a doorstop.

• Auctioneer : I have a bid of 585,000. Do I hear 6? Come, come, come. This is a one-of-a-kind item, ladies and gentlemen. Who'll give 6?

  [Bruce raises his hand] 

  Auctioneer : 600,000.

  Dick Grayson : 600,000? I've heard that time is money, but this is ridiculous.

• Auctioneer : I have $600,000 from Mr. Bruce Wayne. Do I hear 650? Need I remind you, this timepiece was once owned by Marie Antoinette.

  [in a mirror, Dick spots the Clock King, but he's gone when Dick turns around for a better look] 

  Bruce Wayne : Relax, Dick. It's almost over.

  Dick Grayson : You're not gonna believe this, but I thought I just saw the Clock King.

  [Bruce turns to look] 

  Dick Grayson : Well, he was there.

  Auctioneer : I have 650. Going... going... gone!

  [the timepiece vanishes] 

  Auctioneer : Blimey!
