- Bruce Wayne: [Bruce Wayne in the mechanized bat suit just risked a heart attack to fight and defeat Inque] Now do you believe me about why I retired?
- Terry McGinnis: Not entirely, but tonight, I'm glad you didn't stay retired.
- Bruce Wayne: Back at the cryogenics place, weren't you wondering why Inque didn't morph into her human form and just walk out with the other workers?
- Terry McGinnis: Uh, yeah!... Sort of...
- Aaron Herbst: Maybe you'd like to wash up, then?
- Inque: No thanks.
- Aaron Herbst: You know, you were in that storm drain for a pretty long time and...
- Inque: I don't like water, OK?
- Bruce Wayne: [upon seeing what looks like Terry] You got away?
- [as he approaches Terry, he is constricted by an inky tentacle as Terry morphs into Inque]
- Inque: He didn't get away... and neither will you.
- Mr. Chandler: [stopping a surveillance tape of Aaron kissing Inque's cryo-cell] Let me guess. You were rehearsing for a play.
- Aaron Herbst: You... you were taping me?
- Mr. Chandler: You've been spending an awful lot of time in there, Aaron, and now we know what you were doing.
- Aaron Herbst: But taping me? How could you?
- Mr. Chandler: How could *you*? I've never seen such sick behavior in my life. Clean out your locker.
- Aaron Herbst: But... Mr. Chandler, I've done good work for you, and...
- Mr. Chandler: And what, Aaron? You wanna take this to the review board? You'll never win. And everyone'll find out you're a...
- [he groans in disgust]
- Aaron Herbst: [defeated] I'll clean out my locker.
- Terry McGinnis: [hearing an alarm] What's that?
- Bruce Wayne: It's an alarm system I set up. I've got it hooked into the prison and a few other places. Helps me keep track of certain friends of ours.
- Terry McGinnis: So, which one is it?
- Bruce Wayne: [seeing the alarm's origin] Inque.
- [Terry goes to suit up]
- Bruce Wayne: Downtown, Gotham Cryogenics.
- Batman: On my way.
- Bruce Wayne: Terry.
- [holding out Mr. Freeze's cryo-gun]
- Bruce Wayne: Just in case.
- Aaron Herbst: Inque, what I want more than anything is to be like you.
- Inque: You're serious, aren't you?
- Aaron Herbst: Dead serious. The power you've got, I want it. I've been wanting it a long time.
- Inque: Then you'll get it.
- Terry McGinnis: What's this little toy do?
- Bruce Wayne: Careful. It's an exosuit. It amplifies effort and increases endurance.
- Terry McGinnis: And?
- Bruce Wayne: When I tested it, it put too much strain on my heart.
- Terry McGinnis: You'd let a little thing like a heart problem stop you from being Batman? I don't believe it.
- Bruce Wayne: Would I lie to you?
- Terry McGinnis: No. But you hold things back.
- Batman: Got some bad news.
- Bruce Wayne: Let me guess. She got away.
- Batman: And broke the freeze gun while she was at it. But that wasn't the bad news.
- Bruce Wayne: It gets worse?
- Batman: Uh-huh. She knows where the entrance to the cave is, remember?
- Bruce Wayne: Mind telling me what you're doing?
- Terry McGinnis: Sealing up the cracks, making sure she can't ooze in.
- Bruce Wayne: You really think she's coming here, don't you?
- Terry McGinnis: She was here before. She knows the way.
- Bruce Wayne: Does she? It was dark that night, and the Batmobile goes awfully fast. And then there's the way you drive.
- Terry McGinnis: You got a better plan?
- Bruce Wayne: I do. It's called getting to know your enemy. Inque left a little of herself on your suit. I'll be at the microscope.
- Bruce Wayne: The reason she didn't do it is because she couldn't. She can't go back to her human form.
- Terry McGinnis: And if I were her, I'd be looking for a good doctor right now.
- Bruce Wayne: [sarcastic] You think?
- Terry McGinnis: Yeah. There can't be too many doctors or labs that do that kind of work around here. Let's get on the computer and make a list of...
- [Bruce holds out a disk]
- Terry McGinnis: Oh.
- Bruce Wayne: One other thing.
- [handing him an electric batarang]
- Bruce Wayne: It's not as good as Mr. Freeze's gun, but it's the best I could do on short notice. Be careful.
- Batman: It's some kind of arena. Got a big glass dome. Looks like nobody's been inside in years.
- Bruce Wayne: What else can you tell me?
- Batman: Sorry. I wasn't exactly awake when they brought me here, but...
- Bruce Wayne: [hearing him trail off] But what? Terry? Terry, you all right? Answer me!
- Inque: That's the old guy, isn't it? This is gonna be perfect. Tell him you're at the old Gotham Hills arena and he should come right away.
- [Batman remains silent; groaning, she wraps an inky tentacle around his throat]
- Inque: Tell him.
- [he still remains silent]
- Inque: All right, then. Hope you're still listening, old man. We're at the Gotham Hills arena. Get over here right now... or Batman dies.
- Batman: No! Stay where you are! She'll kill us both if you...
- [his words are muffled, and it's revealed she's kissing him]
- Inque: He'll be here. What is he, your father? Grandfather? Well, I'll find out soon enough.
- Inque: [oozing into Aaron's apartment] What's the matter, Aaron? Surprised to see me?
- Aaron Herbst: H-How did you know where I live?
- Inque: How could I not know? All those months of listening to you prattle on and on about your pathetic life.
- Aaron Herbst: You could hear me?
- Inque: Yes, Aaron, I could hear you. And see you, too.
- [he facepalms]
- Inque: But don't worry. I'm not gonna tell anyone, not unless you're stupid enough to try and call the cops.
- Aaron Herbst: I won't.
- Inque: You sure?
- [he nods]
- Inque: Good. You play this right, and I might give you a nice reward.
- Aaron Herbst: I'd do anything for you. Anything.
- Inque: I had a feeling you'd say that.
- Aaron Herbst: [talking to the cryogenically frozen Inque] He said "no raise." Just like that. Told me that what I do here isn't important enough. Not important enough. I'd like to see him talk to you that way. You never had to swallow any disrespect, did ya? No, not you. And if you wanted something, you just took it. But look at you now. All you've got is me, and you're just about all I got. That's why I'm staying here. Even if they don't pay me what I'm worth, you... you listen to me. You're the only one who ever has.
- Inque: [looking down at the unconscious Batman] You know, I once took an assignment to kill him.
- Aaron Herbst: Then do it and get it over with.
- Inque: No. Not until I get the old one, too.
