Will Friedle: Terry McGinnis, Batman

Quotes 

• Mr. Freeze : Stay where you are.

  Batman : You've got to get out of here, Fries! The whole place is going to go!

  Mr. Freeze : Believe me, you're the only one who cares.

• Batman : Just because he ran off doesn't mean he'll come back.

  Bruce Wayne : He'll be back. Count on it. He lives for revenge.

  Batman : Not the Victor Fries I met.

  Bruce Wayne : What you met was a ghost.

• Batman : And who are you, sunshine?

  Blight : "Blight" will do.

• Batman : [calling Derek Powers; smiling]  Amazing the numbers people put on their speed dial. Just wanted you to know tonight's boat ride has been cancelled, though your goons are still going up the river. Wish you could join them.

  [hangs up] 

• Terry McGinnis : Come on, can't you cut him a little slack? Like my mom said, he's just a guy trying to put his house in order.

  Bruce Wayne : It's a cold draft that blows through that house.

• Bruce Wayne : Terry, there's something hot in that room!

  Batman : [while fighting Blight]  No kidding! This guy, he's like a walking meltdown!

  Bruce Wayne : Keep your distance. The suit will give you some protection, but it's not designed for such high levels of radiation.

• [last lines] 

  Terry McGinnis : With all his injuries and that cracked helmet, no way he got out.

  Bruce Wayne : It could have been worse. He could have blown up the whole compound like he intended. Killed hundreds.

  Terry McGinnis : Guess you were right about Fries all along.

  Bruce Wayne : We both were.

• Mr. Freeze : There's enough energy here to destroy the whole compound, Batman. I suggest you find a way out.

  Batman : Fries, think. This can't be what you want. You'll only cause more pain, more suffering.

  Mr. Freeze : No, I end it. When this goes, I go, too.

• Derek Powers : Victor Fries has paid his debt to society, and now with the help of the great medical minds of Wayne-Powers, he's returned to a normal life.

  Terry McGinnis : When was this on?

  Bruce Wayne : This morning.

  Derek Powers : My fervent hope is that the technology used to help Victor will serve to help millions more.

  Bruce Wayne : I want you to follow Fries. Don't let him out of your sight.

  Terry McGinnis : Why?

  Bruce Wayne : I don't trust him.

  Terry McGinnis : Powers or Fries?

  Bruce Wayne : Neither.

• Sniper : No, no! He's gotta die! The monster's gotta die!

  [Batman removes his mask] 

  Sniper : How could you save him? After what he did. What he did to me.

  Victor Fries : What did I do?

  Sniper : You destroyed my life, my family, years ago. Gone. Frozen. Forever.

  Batman : We'll let the police take care of him.

  Victor Fries : No. I've done this man enough damage.

  [untying the restraints from his legs] 

  Victor Fries : No words can express my sorrow for the pain I've caused you. I beg your forgiveness. It was another life, though that's hardly an excuse. I can only promise you this: I will do the best I can to make reparations to you and everyone I've ever hurt.

• Terry McGinnis : So, Dana, you got time for a fizz or something?

  Dana Tan : I do, but you don't.

  [indicating Bruce nearby] 

  Dana Tan : Your keeper's here.
