Quotes 

• Batman : Four against one. Nasty odds!

  Talia : I can take care of myself, thank you!

  Batman : So I see.

  Talia : Still, the gesture is appreciated.

  Batman : Don't mention it. Just whose side are you on?

  Talia : That would be telling.

  Shadow Agent : And it would make no difference!

  Shadow Agent #2 : As of now, this battle is ended.

• Talia : [shoos a rat away from Batman while she tends to his wounds]  Filthy creature!

  Batman : I've been called worse.

• [last lines, Talia makes contact with her father from her plane] 

  Talia : Vertigo has been dealt with, Father.

  Ra's al Ghul : Small wonder you seem so pleased. Then your mission?

  Talia : A complete success.

  [holds up rifle] 

  Talia : I secured this just as you asked.

  Ra's al Ghul : Then choose a target and test it, daughter. We must be certain it survived its ordeal intact.

  [Talia aims the rifle at a mountain, but it short-circuits causing her to drop it] 

  Talia : The Batman! He sabotaged it somehow!

  Ra's al Ghul : So even in defeat, the detective manages to achieve some small measure of victory.

  [Ra's ends communication with Talia and turns to face the camera] 

  Ra's al Ghul : As you said, detective - this is not over.

• Talia : [escaping a sonically booby-trapped room]  How did you do that?

  Batman : Simple. I just kept my eyes closed.

  Talia : You what?

  Batman : The only way to neutralize the vertigo effect was to rely on my other senses to see us through.

  Talia : All right, I am impressed.

• Batman : You okay?

  Talia : My contact lenses, I lost them when we fell. They counter the distortion effect. Without them, I'm as helpless as you.

  Batman : I don't do helpless. Come on, take my hand. I can get us through this.

  Talia : How?

  Batman : I trusted you, now it's your turn.

• Batman : Without Vertigo to lead them, his agents have all fled?

  Talia : Yes. The Society of Shadows is no longer what it was.

  Batman : Well, I've got to get this back to Gotham City.

  Talia : Wait. I can't let you leave like this, not with the drill.

  Batman : [seeing she's holding a gun on him]  I thought I finally knew which side you were on.

  [discreetly placing something in the drill head] 

  Batman : I should have known better, considering that you knew where everything was in the monastery. How could you have... unless you were one of them?

  Talia : [Vertigo's plane pilot drops a rope ladder]  I am truly sorry, Batman. It could have been... sweet.
