- Detective Harvey Bullock: You Hamner? John Hamner? Bullock, Gotham PD!
- John Hamner: What do you want?
- Detective Harvey Bullock: About them two wolves somebody boosted. There was no sign of forced entry here, y'know? So I'm figuring somebody must have unlocked the cages and looked the other way! I've been checkin' you out, Hamner. Seems last week your bank account suddenly got bigger by a few grand. So what's the story? I want the truth before I decide to feed you to your furry friends here.
- John Hamner: Alright! Alright! You got it! The guy tells me to open the locks. Next morning the wolves are gone.
- Detective Harvey Bullock: What guy?
- John Hamner: I don't know. I never saw him! He calls me. Pays me off by courier. For all I know, it could be you!
- Detective Harvey Bullock: You got that wrong, pally! I'm the guy taking ya in!
- Bruce Wayne: Haven't seen you around here lately, Tony.
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: Been busy, Bruce. Trying to find a new tax shelter, or two.
- Andrea: Then you're serious about that ad in the paper, Tony?
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: Dead serious. I'll give two and a half million to the Gotham United Fund, provided the Batman comes to the house personally to pick up the check.
- Andrea: Why him? Looking for someone to arm-wrestle?
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: Well, let's just say I always wanted to check out Gotham's second best athlete first hand!
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: You fool! There's no telling what the werewolf might do!
- Dr. Achilles Milo: Hey, ask me if I care.
- Batman: We need to talk.
- Commissioner James Gordon: [startled] I wish you'd stop doing that.
- Batman: Just tangled with a mugger in a werewolf mask. I tried to stop him, and he threw a guy off a bridge. Mean anything to you?
- Commissioner James Gordon: A werewolf mask? Let's take a look.
- [searching the database]
- Commissioner James Gordon: Only thing that even comes close is two Alaskan timber wolves stolen from the city zoo last Friday.
- Batman: The victim's name was John Hamner. From his uniform, I'd say he works for the zoo. I doubt it's a coincidence.
- Commissioner James Gordon: I'll get Bullock on it.
- [picking up his phone reciever]
- Commissioner James Gordon: Helen, get me Harvey Bullock. Yeah, ASAP.
- Batman: [noticing hairs on his gloves] Hmm.
- Commissioner James Gordon: Something wrong, Batman?
- Batman: Just had a disturbing thought, that's all. What if that guy wasn't wearing a mask?
- Detective Harvey Bullock: No trace of wolfie. We checked the shoreline for miles. But in four weeks, there's another full moon. Then we'll know for sure.
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: I won't let you trick me again, Milo. Now, give me that antidote! Please, just a taste!
- Dr. Achilles Milo: No. Not a drop. I want all the creature's savagery unleashed on the Batman.
- Dr. Achilles Milo: You know, my friend, I'm innocent. They'll never convict me of a thing.
- Commissioner James Gordon: Don't bet on it.
- Dr. Achilles Milo: Sounds like there's quite a nasty storm brewing, my friend.
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: I hope so, Milo. The rain'll make me feel cleaner after what we just did.
- Dr. Achilles Milo: [checking Batman chained up outside] And I hope he awakens before moonrise. I want him to see the end coming.
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: And then you expect me to deliver. Milo, you're a worse animal than anything I turn into.
- Dr. Achilles Milo: But I'm the animal who holds the key to your salvation.
- [he holds up a vial of liquid; as Tony reaches for it, he puts it in a safe]
- Dr. Achilles Milo: Don't ever forget that.
- [growling in frustration, Tony punches a wall]
- Dr. Achilles Milo: Now, why don't I pour you a cup of tea, Anthony? You'll feel better.
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: In a pig's eye, Milo. There's only one thing I want from you.
- Dr. Achilles Milo: The antidote? Certainly. When you've earned it.
- Anthony 'Tony' Romulus: As if I haven't suffered enough?
- Dr. Achilles Milo: You know what they say, Anthony: no pain, no gain.
- Alfred Pennyworth: [working on the Batmobile's engine] Thinking of acquiring a new pet, Master Bruce?
- Batman: No, Alfred. Just searching for some connection between Hamner, those stolen wolves, and that hairy weirdo. The hairs check out as genuine wolf hair. But it could mean only that Shaggy was wearing an extremely fancy mask. I've come at this problem from a dozen directions, but they all lead to the same dead end.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Then might I suggest, sir, that it's time to get a new map?
- Batman: [getting in as Alfred closes the hood] Or time to stop spinning my wheels, at least. I have other business tonight.
- Alfred Pennyworth: [watching him drive away] Hmm. You're welcome.
- Dr. Achilles Milo: [to the werewolf] Oh, please. Spare me the melodrama. In precisely seven seconds, all your fearsome growling won't mean a blessed thing.
