Quotes 

• Terry McGinnis : Tell me something: Why were you so sure those voices weren't comin' from you?

  Bruce Wayne : Well, first, I know I'm not psychotic.

  Terry McGinnis : I hope your other reason's more convincing.

  Bruce Wayne : And second, the voice kept calling me Bruce. In my mind, that's not what I call myself.

  Terry McGinnis : What do you call yourself?

  [Bruce gives Terry a long stare] 

  Terry McGinnis : Oh, yeah. I suppose you would.

  [Voice sinking to Batman's tone] 

  Terry McGinnis : But that's my name now.

  Bruce Wayne : Hmm. Tell that to my subconscious.

• Terry McGinnis : [leaving a Wayne-Powers stockholder meeting]  Too bad Shreeve is too freaked out to testify against that weasel.

  Bruce Wayne : Maybe when his hearing comes back, if it ever does.

• Bruce Wayne : This company has always meant a great deal to me. But now, I'm ashamed of it. Ashamed of the way it's forgotten its history. Ashamed of how it's gonna rip the heart out of this city. I'm referring to a plan by the current leadership of Wayne-Powers to purchase Gotham City's historical district and then bulldoze it to make room for another soulless industrial complex. Is that what we want? Or do we want a city that remembers its history? A city where ideals flow from the past, defining our present and shaping our future.

• Bruce Wayne : That theatre: it was where my parents and I went the night they were...

  Terry McGinnis : I think you'd want it torn down, so after all these years you could finally forget.

  Bruce Wayne : Do you want to forget what happened to your father?

• Bruce Wayne : [hearing his dog Ace whine]  Kind of quiet out there, huh, boy? But you hear something, don't you?

• Terry McGinnis : [picking Bruce up after a meeting]  How'd it go?

  Bruce Wayne : The way I wanted.

  Terry McGinnis : Must've been pretty important to get you out of that house. Especially in daylight.

  Bruce Wayne : I'll show you.

• Bruce Wayne : Can you believe it? They want to keep me in here overnight!

  Terry McGinnis : Why don't you relax and make it a little vacation? And while you're here, I'll figure out who that guy in the suit was.

  Bruce Wayne : So you're a detective now?

  Terry McGinnis : Been watching you long enough. Besides, I got a lead.

• Bruce Wayne : I've been hearing these voices.

  Batman : I know.

  Bruce Wayne : They think I'm crazy.

  Batman : We'll talk about it back home.

  Bruce Wayne : We're not going anywhere until I figure out where the voices are coming from.

  Batman : But the orderlies could come in at any second.

  Bruce Wayne : Check the light fixture. There might be a speaker hidden in it.

  Batman : You can't be seri...

  Bruce Wayne : Check it!

  Batman : [firing a laser blast]  See? Nothing.

  Bruce Wayne : Then the sound's got to be coming from the walls. Strip 'em.

  Batman : I can't strip the...

  [getting an idea] 

  Batman : Wait a minute.

  Bruce Wayne : What are you doing?

  [Batman yanks the bandage off his head] 

  Bruce Wayne : Ow!

  Batman : Big bandage for such a small wound. It's a two-way radio. Guy named Shreeve makes them. He's the one who knocked down the police station.

  Bruce Wayne : He probably bribed a nurse to put that thing in the bandage. Still think I'm crazy?

  Batman : It never occurred to me.

• Bruce Wayne : Go away! I don't want to hear you!

  Walter Shreeve : It's for your own good. Now get up.

  [Bruce does so] 

  Walter Shreeve : Go to the window.

  Bruce Wayne : What for?

  Walter Shreeve : Go!

  [Bruce does] 

  Walter Shreeve : Open it.

  [hearing various voices repeating the command, Bruce does] 

  Walter Shreeve : You know what you have to do.

  Bruce Wayne : [trying to fight it]  Who are you? Why are you saying these things to me?

  Walter Shreeve : I want to help you. I'm you.

  Bruce Wayne : No.

  Walter Shreeve : Who else could I be?

  Bruce Wayne : You can't be me!

• Batman : Looks like the radio signal's coming from that factory by the hospital.

  Bruce Wayne : And from there, I've got a feeling it's gonna lead to Powers.

  Batman : Doesn't take a detective to figure that one out.
