BUMP!
Batman: Son of the Demon
BATMAN: Time's up.
TERRORIST: Yeah...for you!
*gun fire, Batman dodges, the bullet hitting an oil barell, burning off the terrorist's face.
TERRORIST: Goddamn you...!
BATMAN: Looks like he got you first.
DOCTOR: And what seems to be the trouble with you?
WOUNDED TERRORIST: I'm shot. I'm bleeding.
DOCTOR: Well, let's have a look and see what we--
BATMAN: That man can wait, doctor.
DOCTOR: I beg your--
BATMAN: I said, he can wait--
DOCTOR: He--he has some rights, you know.
BATMAN: That woman has more.
DOCTOR: No need to be so snotty.
BATMAN: Are the two of you all right, ma'am?
MAN: Why...er...yes...thank you for all your...your help, Batman...
BATMAN: And your child?
WOMAN: I...I think he's fine...thank you...
BATMAN: Good. ...A child needs his parents...it's a terrible thing for a child to have to grow up alone...
GUARD: The master's daughter...and his greatest foe? You will both come with me.
BATMAN: *sigh* Every time I come here, it's the same thing. Some bonehead tries to prove his manhood by flashing a weapon...and I prove mine by taking it away from him.
*rips gun away, elbows guard in the face*
BATMAN: Someday, you boys will learn.
BATMAN: There's never been any room in my life for a woman...that's what I told myself, after every liason I've ever known shattered...maybe that's just what I wanted to believe. I've tried to forget you, God knows...but I can't. I never could. I never will.
TALIA: Beloved, you give too much thought to what is "real" and what is not; to what is "true" and what is "false..." I realize that is your way, but just this once, accept things as they are...forgo your control, your discipline...just once, let yourself go...and take me with you.
RA'S: Detective, as you know, I am cursed with a love for emptiness...desolation. It is a beauty to wich my soul responds...as pure, as untainted as the deserts of my birth. I deem it my mission to purify this planet, to restore it to its former beauty...a mission I will brook no interference in...but for now, we are allies...and I hope that state continues. Hmmm...by reomiving my king from check, I find we have achieved a stalemate. I find that quite fitting.
BATMAN: I play to win.
QAYIN: ...And at last, the Lazarus Pit is mine.
RA'S: I think not, Qayin.
QAYIN: Al Ghul. I commend your courage in daring to face me...in my moment of triumph.
RA'S: You always spoke too quickly, Qayin. You may recall the story of Moses...who was permitted to see the promised land...but never to enter it.
*room explodes*
BATMAN: I'm here, Ra's. I don't want to answer any questions...I just want to find Qayin...and hope he puts up a fight.
RA'S: The battle goes well, Detective. My men have secured the perimeter...but there still remains the interior, where Qayin will be at his most dangerous.
BATMAN: Good...it'll make what I have to do...that much easier.
RA'S: I understand. The guards seem most intent on keeping us from this central area.
BATMAN: It's their funeral.
BATMAN: You can't imagine how much I hate you, Qayin. Not only for the pain you've inflicted on others, through your terrorism..but for the pain you gave to someone I love--and to me.
RA'S: Perhaps now he is at peace.
BATMAN: Perhaps...I hope not.
BATMAN: All right, Talia... I wish things had... Our lives don't seem to... Maybe someday... I'm sorry.
RA'S: I, too, am sorry...my son.
