Quotes 

• Poison Ivy : And I thought you believed in justice!

  Batman : Justice, yes. But not the vengeance of an eco-terrorist. You're as destructive as those you punish.

• Bruce Wayne : [on the phone]  I don't care how much money we'll lose! I won't have Wayne Enterprises involved with an operation that destroys a rainforest! Shut it down, or you're *gone*!

  [he hangs up and switches to his Batman voice] 

  Bruce Wayne : One of my greedy directors made a deal with a slash-and-burn outfit in the Amazon.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Well, it's fortunate you learned of the deal in time to stop it.

  Bruce Wayne : I hate when things slip by me.

• Batman : Computer log, continuing. The active ingredient in the demetrite formula is a chlorophyll-based enzyme. Analysis indicates that it does affect human cellular membranes. I am now combining equal amounts of the enzyme to human plasma.

  [as he does so, a plant root sprouts from the test tube and coils itself around his bicep] 

  Batman : What the...?

• Bruce Wayne : Hey, good news. I just heard all of Poison Ivy's victims are expected to recover.

  Maggie Page : Bruce, please. The plant. Must you?

  Bruce Wayne : [realizing]  Oh. Maybe I'd better leave this outside.

  Maggie Page : [to Alfred]  Nice man, but sometimes, not too bright.

• Poison Ivy : Of course, I have the patience of a redwood.

  Batman : And the convictions of a fanatic!

• Alfred Pennyworth : Good to see you, sir.

  Batman : You too, Alfred. What's with the jungle?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Oh, I thought this drab old cave could use a little color. How does it look?

  Batman : Green.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Yes, so lovely.

  [sighing contentedly] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : I feel all this decorating has given me a dreadful thirst.

  Batman : What's that?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Special spa water, sir. With a drop or two of Dr. Demeter's formula. Wonderful stuff, this demetrite.

• Poison Ivy : You go after the wrong people, Batman.

  Batman : Poison Ivy. Only you would identify yourself with Demeter, the Greek goddess of plants.

• Poison Ivy : This spray is triple-strength, Batman. It will start the transformation without any preliminaries.

  [seeing he's not affected] 

  Poison Ivy : He should be sprouting leaves by now.

  Batman : [breaking out of his restraints]  You made your secret too accessible, Ivy. I coated my outfit with an herbicidal antidote.

• Alfred Pennyworth : Yes, Master Bruce, I did ask about that lady, as you requested. But it seems she left by herself two weekends ago. But why anyone would want to leave this place is beyond me.

  Bruce Wayne : [hearing him chortle]  Alfred, are you okay?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Never better, sir. Everywhere I turn, I see another sign of nature's...

  [seeing Maggie in a mud bath] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : ...uh, beauty. I assure you that when I return, I'll be feeling like a new man.

• Commissioner James Gordon : It's a real brain-buster, my friend. No ransom note, no goodbye note, no nothing. And she's not the only vanishing industrialist. Three more were reported this week.

  Batman : I'll search her penthouse.

  Commissioner James Gordon : Good luck. We put that place under a microscope, and all we got was eyestrain. Maybe your Bat-radar can...

  [seeing he's gone] 

  Commissioner James Gordon : D... oh, never mind.

• Maggie Page : [watching the Eternal Youth video]  You might want to try this, Bruce, with your late nights and all.

  Bruce Wayne : My weekends are shot, Maggie. But if you and Alfred would like to go in my place...

  Alfred Pennyworth : Uh, thank you, sir, but we couldn't possibly accept. It-It's much too generous.

  Bruce Wayne : I thought they said it was free.

  Maggie Page : They did. Oh, Alfie, don't be an old fogey. A little fresh air would do us both some good, and you have been promising to take me somewhere.
