Quotes 

• Mary McGinnis : You never told me you knew Bruce Wayne.

  Terry McGinnis : Well, actually, uh...

  Bruce Wayne : Why, I owe this boy my life. He defended me against a bunch of hooligans once. I tried to reward him, but he absolutely refused.

  Mary McGinnis : Mr. Wayne wants to offer you a job.

  Terry McGinnis : A job?

  Bruce Wayne : It's not much, mind you. I find that my old age, I could use a part-time assistant; you know, a gofer. Go for this, go for that. An ally, as it were. Would you be interested?

• Mr. Fixx : You're pretty strong, for some clown who thinks he's Batman.

  Batman : I AM Batman.

• Guard : Little early for Halloween.

  Batman : But just in time for fall.

  [he falls backward and soars away] 

• Terry McGinnis : You built that company. And now Powers is making nerve-gas there. You gotta do something. You're Batman.

  Bruce Wayne : I WAS Batman.

• Terry McGinnis : Something happened to you, didn't it? And wasn't just that you got old.

• Derek Powers : Hello, Terry. Ever had a ride in a limo?

  Terry McGinnis : My dad always told me to never take rides from strangers.

  Derek Powers : Who's a stranger? Besides, your dad's not around anymore. Be smart, Terry. Get in.

  Terry McGinnis : I'll pass.

  [Mr. Fixx grabs him and frisks him] 

  Terry McGinnis : Let go of me! What are you doing? You some kind of sicko? Help! Help!

  Derek Powers : That won't do you any good, Terry. Why don't you make it easy on yourself and give me back my disc?

  Terry McGinnis : What disc?

  Derek Powers : You know what I'm talking about.

  Terry McGinnis : All right. If he lets go.

  [Fixx lets go, and he takes it out of his shoe] 

  Terry McGinnis : Happy?

  [he throws it away, knees Fixx in the stomach, and flees, dodging gunfire from Powers' bodyguard] 

  Derek Powers : Enough. Well, at least I've got the evidence.

• Bruce Wayne : McGinnis, I gave you a break. Now bring that suit back.

  Batman : Love to, but I got these guards all over me.

  Bruce Wayne : There's a broom closet on the north wall. Can you get to it?

  Batman : A broom closet?

  Bruce Wayne : Do it!

  Batman : [ducking inside]  Now I'm a sitting duck. Hope you're happy.

  Bruce Wayne : The far wall, put your hand against it. Press hard.

  Batman : [doing so, he passes through a secret entrance]  Cool.

• Bruce Wayne : Stay away from that.

  Terry McGinnis : [admiring the Batsuit]  Synaptic controls, neuromuscular amplification, flight capability. Hmph. This thing might be old, but it's still cutting-edge. Bet it amplifies your strength by at least ten to one.

  Bruce Wayne : I told you not to touch it.

• Bruce Wayne : McGinnis. Can you hear me?

  Batman : Who... who's that?

  Bruce Wayne : It's Wayne.

  Batman : Mr. Wayne? W-Where are you?

  Bruce Wayne : There's a radio receiver in your cowl. Now listen to me, McGinnis. I want that suit back, and I want it now.

  Batman : Uh, now's not a good time.

  Bruce Wayne : That suit is not yours. You had no right!

  Batman : Somebody had to do something, and you sure weren't about to.

  Bruce Wayne : I'm warning you.

• Batman : This suit works even better than I thought it would.

  Bruce Wayne : This is your last chance. Better take it.

  Batman : No, thanks. Having too much fun.

  Bruce Wayne : Fun, huh?

  Guard : [Batman beckons for them to bring it]  He's mine!

  Batman : [Bruce presses a button, and the suit power fritzes]  Hey... I can't move. What'd you do?

  Bruce Wayne : It's a failsafe device; paralyzes the suit in case the wrong person gets into it.

  Batman : But you can't.

  Bruce Wayne : I just did.

  Batman : Hey... hey!

  [the guards start to whale on him] 

  Batman : Come on. You gotta help me.

  Guard : Out of the way.

  Batman : [the guard aims his gun at him]  Wayne, they're gonna kill me.

  [the suit's power returns] 

  Batman : Yeah!

• Batman : Powers is shipping out the virus tonight. It's gotta be stopped.

  Bruce Wayne : I'll call the police. Let them handle it.

  Batman : I can do it!

  Bruce Wayne : I'll shut down the suit again, and this time, it'll be for good.

  Batman : I read up on you, Mr. Wayne. I know how you lost your folks. The guy who murdered my dad is on that transport. This is my one chance to nail him.

  Bruce Wayne : [after a moment]  The hover pads are in the northeast sector.

  Batman : Wish me luck.

  Bruce Wayne : Good luck.

• Bruce Wayne : I should warn you, I can be a difficult taskmaster. I accept nothing short of excellence in all who work for me.

  Terry McGinnis : I think I can handle it.

  Bruce Wayne : Very good then, Mr. McGinnis. Welcome to my world.
