Quotes 

• [to elderly Bruce Wayne] 

  Derek Powers : So how are you holding up, Bruce?

  Bruce Wayne : With a cane.

• Inque : He has an accomplice. I heard him speak with someone over a radio.

  Derek Powers : Then do them both. I'll pay you whatever you want.

  Inque : No wonder I like working for you.

  Derek Powers : Now I suggest you leave. It's not healthy to be around me when I'm shedding.

• Inque : We need to talk.

  Derek Powers : This better be good. What happened?

  Inque : Someone's been interfering. This is the second time.

  Derek Powers : Who?

  Inque : I don't know. He wore a costume, black and red.

  Derek Powers : Batman!

  Inque : *The* Batman?

  Derek Powers : What difference does it make?

• Derek Powers : Don't worry about Wayne. That performance was just to remind me he's still breathing. And barely, I might add.

  Inque : He knows too much.

  Derek Powers : He's just fishing. I'll send him an extra basket of oranges this Christmas and he'll be happy. Moving on.

  [offering a folder] 

  Derek Powers : Here's what I'd like you to do tonight, my dear.

• Derek Powers : I must say, it's so nice to see you taking an interest after all these years.

  [seeing Bruce notice an open folder, he closes it] 

  Derek Powers : We're lucky to have you as a resource.

  Bruce Wayne : Mm-hmm.

  Derek Powers : You should come by more often. I'll set you up with the finest office in the building; just not this one.

  [Bruce reaches out to touch a statue] 

  Derek Powers : Ah, I'd prefer you not touch that.

  Bruce Wayne : In case you're worried, I didn't come here to set up shop again.

  Derek Powers : Why, Bruce, you've misread me. I don't worry.

• Bruce Wayne : Keep your hands off Foxteca.

  Derek Powers : Pardon me?

  Bruce Wayne : I may not have the leverage on paper anymore, but I still have friends. The Foxes were a valued part of this company for years. I'd hate to find out Wayne-Powers was involved in these attacks.

  Derek Powers : Bruce, let me put your concerns to rest. I'd never do such a thing. Why, Lucius Jr. was still Vice President when I took over.

  Bruce Wayne : I know. You fired him.
