- Bruce Wayne: Go home.
- Max: Listen, I could be very valuable to you. In fact, I've already been very valuable, more times than I can count.
- Bruce Wayne: I said go home.
- Max: Make me.
- Shriek: [after Batman saves DAK] All for nothing. All that effort wasted, but at least it allows me the pleasure of dispatching you myself.
- Bruce Wayne: Why do they always talk so much?
- [whacking Shriek with his cane]
- Bruce Wayne: I just happened to be in the neighborhood.
- Shriek: This old shelter's made a good hideout except for one thing; the tunnels twist so much, I can barely aim my sound blast. When I heard you screaming last night that Batman was chasing you, all I could do was estimate his position and fire away.
- Ollie: I thought for sure you got him.
- Shriek: Maybe I did. Maybe this is someone else. It doesn't really matter.
- Bruce Wayne: [after questioning a T who had Terry's backpack] He found it this morning down in the old shelter below the subway station. He didn't see anyone near it.
- Max: You sure he's telling the truth?
- Bruce Wayne: Yes.
- Bruce Wayne: Still here?
- Max: I want to find him just as much as you do.
- Bruce Wayne: Have you seen anything?
- Max: No.
- Bruce Wayne: Then why do I need you?
- Max: Have *you* seen anything?
- [a gang of T's pass by]
- Max: That backpack.
- Bruce Wayne: What about it?
- Max: It's Terry's.
- Bruce Wayne: [watching DAK leave] Where's he going?
- Terry McGinnis: Told me he was headed for home.
- Bruce Wayne: Good.
- Terry McGinnis: Said he'd find me and kill me if I ever told anyone he cried. Does Max have any idea what happened?
- Bruce Wayne: As a matter of fact, I spent most of the evening with her.
- Terry McGinnis: Really? Then the two of you must have finally come to an understanding.
- Bruce Wayne: You could say that.
- Max: [being led away after Bruce's distraction double-cross] You can't do this to me! It's not fair! I'll sue!
- Bruce Wayne: Where's Terry?
- Max: I haven't seen him since last night.
- Bruce Wayne: Where was he?
- Max: Down the street at the subway station.
- Mary McGinnis: Well, now it all makes sense.
- Terry McGinnis: Huh?
- Mary McGinnis: You've started making your bed.
- Terry McGinnis: Uh, yeah. Anything to help you out, mom.
- Mary McGinnis: And here I was thinking you weren't coming home at night.
- Terry McGinnis: Who, me?
- Dana Tan: He's not sick, Max. I just called his house, and he hasn't been there all day.
- Max: All day? Maybe Mr. Wayne had an emergency. You know how old people are.
- Dana Tan: But why wouldn't he call?
- Max: [hearing a knock on the door] Dana, I gotta go. Somebody's here.
- Dana Tan: If it's Terry...
- Max: Yeah, I will.
- Batman: I don't even know your name.
- DAK: It's DAK.
- Batman: DAK? Sounds like a throat lozenge.
- DAK: It's short for Darius Arthur Kellman.
- Batman: Darius Arthur Kellman. Well, that explains it. Just get behind me, okay?
- DAK: I'm not afraid.
- [Batman pushes DAK behind him]
- DAK: Hey!
- Batman: [throwing his batarang at his explosives, the detonation opens a hole in the wall] No. That's what I heard. One of the support beams. Must be hollow.
- Batman: What happened?
- DAK: There was a cave-in, obviously.
- Batman: I remember now. I must've been out for a long time. How am I gonna explain it to...
- DAK: To who?
- Batman: Never mind.
- DAK: What were you doin' down here, anyway?
- Batman: I was following somebody, somebody I thought I recognized. He spotted me, and then... then this happened. What are you doin' down here?
- DAK: Right now, I'm findin' you the fastest way out. Got a problem with that?
- Shriek: Batman, I know you're down here somewhere. This is your old pal Shriek. I've got your little friend with me here in the main shelter, and I want you to... well, you know the rest, don't you? Better hurry, Batman. Better hurry.
- DAK: Idiot. Nobody sacrifices their life for somebody else, not in this world.
- Shriek: You don't know Batman.
- DAK: I know people.
- Shriek: Perhaps you'd like to bet on it. Your life, say?
- DAK: Too easy. Even if he wanted to give himself up to you, he couldn't.
- Shriek: And why's that?
- DAK: He's trapped in...
- Shriek: You know right where he is, don't you? Tell me. Tell me!
- DAK: Maybe I don't owe Batman anything, but I sure don't owe you anything, either.
- Shriek: Wrong. You're about to owe me your life, but only if you take me to him.
- Bruce Wayne: You're not coming. I won't let you.
- Max: Aren't you forgetting something? I saved you tonight, not the other way around.
- Bruce Wayne: You're good - better than I thought - but this isn't about you.
- Max: What, then?
- Bruce Wayne: I don't know whether Terry's dead or alive, and that's enough for my conscience.
- Max: Mr. Wayne, with all due respect, your conscience don't mean diddly to me, so I'm just gonna go right ahead and...
- Bruce Wayne: [seeing construction on the platform where Terry vanished] There's no way into the shelter now, unless...
- Max: Unless what?
- Bruce Wayne: Unless I distract them for you.
- Max: You mean now you want me to...
- Bruce Wayne: Yes. But be careful.
- DAK: Back at school, half the kids want to be you.
- Batman: Yeah?
- DAK: I was in the other half.
- Batman: Who do you want to be?
- DAK: Maybe Blight or Spellbinder. Or somebody in the Royal Flush Gang.
- Batman: Are you serious?
- DAK: Hey, they did what they wanted and wouldn't let anyone tell 'em what to do.
- Batman: But look how they ended up.
- DAK: Yeah, thanks to you. And I'm gonna end up that way, too, now, thanks to you.
- DAK: What are you doin'?
- Batman: [tapping a wall] Looking for a weak spot.
- DAK: Then what, genius?
- Batman: I got explosives, lots of 'em.
- [wiping his finger on the wall]
- Batman: What's with this condensation? Must be something cold on the other side.
- DAK: Ever hear of the Gotham River? Runs all around here underground. If you break through, we'll be dead real quick, instead of real slow, which is what's gonna happen now.
- Dana Tan: It was a nice change seeing you at night.
- Terry McGinnis: You're not gonna start that again, are you?
- Dana Tan: It's a very common practice, going out at night, or so I've heard.
- Terry McGinnis: And you know why I can't always do it.
- Dana Tan: Yeah, I know. Your job. Hope it's worth it to you.
- Terry McGinnis: Most of the time it is, but not right now.
- Mary McGinnis: Matt, where's your brother?
- Matt McGinnis: Don't know.
- Mary McGinnis: It doesn't look like he slept here last night.
- Matt McGinnis: Maybe he came in after we were asleep and left before we woke up. He does that all the time.
- Mary McGinnis: Except when has he ever made his bed?
- Terry McGinnis: [leaving a screening of "Casablanca"] What'd you think of it, Howard?
- Howard: Been there, done that.
- Max: He's talking about the movie, Howard, not the snack bar.
