Kevin Conroy: Bruce Wayne

Quotes 

• [Contemplating the Royal Flush Gang's next move] 

  Bruce Wayne : All of their crimes are playing-card-related, and the earliest playing-card decks had swords, not spades.

  Terry McGinnis : How does the yacht fit in?

  Bruce Wayne : It was part of a yacht *club*.

  Terry McGinnis : Ouch.

• [On Terry's prospective girlfriend, who turns out to be a criminal] 

  Terry McGinnis : This kinda thing ever happen to you?

  Bruce Wayne : Let me tell you about a woman named Selina Kyle.

• Bruce Wayne : You're late. Dana again?

  Terry McGinnis : That's all over now. Thanks to you and this job.

  Bruce Wayne : Don't dramatize. You two will be back soon enough. And in the meantime, you've got to figure out how to stop this gang.

  Terry McGinnis : I gave 'em a lot more than they expected. They're gone.

  Bruce Wayne : They'll be back. We've got history, they and I. The Royal Flush Gang's been around a long time. They're a family. They bring in new members, sons, daughter, husbands, wives, as the older ones retire or go to prison. They think they're better than everyone else. The Aristocrats of Crime.

• Bruce Wayne : Late again.

  Terry McGinnis : Or early, depending on how you look at it.

  Bruce Wayne : How I look at it is, the Gang's gonna hit again. And we've only got a few hours, to figure out where.

  Terry McGinnis : You're sure it'll be tonight?

  Bruce Wayne : You've got something better to do?

  Terry McGinnis : Yeah, I do.

  Bruce Wayne : This is getting tiresome.

  Terry McGinnis : Look, if you had any proof they're gonna try something tonight, it would be different! But I'm not gonna change my plans because of a hunch.

  Bruce Wayne : Batman would.

  Terry McGinnis : Hey, I put my life on the line all the time! One night's not gonna make any difference!

  [Bruce grabs Terry by his shirt] 

  Bruce Wayne : One night always makes the difference!

  Terry McGinnis : I know what it is. You can't stand to see anyone going out and havin' a life! You want me to end up like you! Alone.

  [Terry pulls away from Bruce and runs out of the Batcave] 

• Bruce Wayne : Everything all right there?

  Batman : Fine. Perfect. Except they got away.

  Bruce Wayne : We'd better reconvene. You should know who you're dealing with.

  Batman : Be there when I can. I'm late for an appointment.

  Bruce Wayne : But I need to talk to you.

• Batman : Definitely something weird going on over there. People dressed up like playing cards.

  Bruce Wayne : Did you say "playing cards"?

  Batman : Uh-huh. They travel in your circles?

  Bruce Wayne : 'Fraid so.

  Batman : Well, guess I better go introduce myself.
