Nightwing • Dick Grayson
- Robin: [after Nightwing knocks out a mugger Robin was after] I could'a handled him.
- Nightwing: Could'a, would'a, didn't.
- Robin: You sound just like Batman.
- Nightwing: I'm nothing like him.
- Robin: Yeah, right. The Mask, the attitude, the long underwear.
- Nightwing: Drop it!
- Robin: I'd love to know what happened between you two.
- Nightwing: Things change.
- Robin: No kidding. You guys used to be the greatest. Batman and Robin, the Dynamic Duo.
- Nightwing: Maybe you should ask him.
- Robin: I did. And you'll never guess what he said. "Things change."
- Batman: Where's the Joker?
- Connor: I- I don't know.
- [Batman slams Connor against the wall]
- Connor's Son: Daddy!
- Batman: Remember now?
- [Robin watches as Connor's wife and child huddle in the corner in fear]
- Robin (Dick Grayson): Batman, not like this. Not in front of his family.
- Batman: The sooner he talks, the sooner we leave.
- Robin (Dick Grayson): [Sees Connor's son starting to cry] I'm out of here now!
- Robin (Dick Grayson): Batgirl. I still can't believe it. How could you keep something like this from me?
- Batgirl: You weren't exactly honest with me, either.
- Robin (Dick Grayson): But you told him.
- Batgirl: He knew.
- Batman: It wasn't my place to tell you.
- Robin (Dick Grayson): But it was your place to put her in danger.
- Batgirl: It wasn't like that. I volunteered!
- Robin (Dick Grayson): You think you did. You don't know him like I do. He manipulates, pulls strings, anything to get what he wants.
- Batman: I thought we had the same goals.
- Robin (Dick Grayson): Things change. I've changed. The game's over, Batman. I quit.
- Batman: Robin, wait.
- [Batman grabs Robin's shoulder. Robin then turns around and hits Batman in the face]
- Batman: I've got a lead on a heist tonight at GothSpace. Meet me there.
- Dick Grayson: This isn't a great time.
- Batman: I'm not making the schedule.
- [Nightwing and Robin are waiting for Connor in his office]
- Connor: You almost gave me a heart attack. I thought you were the Batman.
- Nightwing: No.
- Connor: I ran up against him once. It was a real eye-opener. Forced me to get my life together. Now I've got this great job. Even Mr. Wayne knows me. Terrific guy. Never too busy to stop and ask how my boy's doing.
- [pause]
- Nightwing: Mr. Wayne is a good man.
- Dick Grayson: I saw Barbara's car parked out front. Where is she?
- Alfred Pennyworth: She and Master Bruce are running an errand.
- Dick Grayson: [seeing the Batmobile is gone] What kind of errand?
- The Joker: [Batgirl takes down two of his goons] What? You should be sidewalk stroganoff.
- Robin (Dick Grayson): I changed the menu.
- [he punches another thug, who drops his machine gun]
- The Joker: [picking it up] Honestly, must I do everything myself?
- Robin (Dick Grayson): You blew it, Joker.
- The Joker: Au contraire, Bird Boy. I'm just getting fired up.
- [as he pulls a lever, a missile fires; in the aftermath of the explosion, Batman and Robin are buried under rubble]
- The Joker: Hmm. That was easier than usual.
- [with effort, Robin manages to free himself]
- The Joker: Whoops! Time to fly!
- Barbara Gordon: So, Mr. Grayson, tell me, now that you're out of school, what will you do? Become another one of the idle rich?
- Dick Grayson: Ha! Don't think so. I'm ready to be my own man. No more sponging off Bruce.
- Barbara Gordon: Oh, a vow of poverty?
- Dick Grayson: No. I've got a trust fund from the circus. It's an insurance settlement from when my folks died.
- [taking her hand]
- Dick Grayson: But whatever my future holds, I hope it includes you.
- Barbara Gordon: [Barbara is asleep in her bed at her apartment, she wakes up at the sound of knocking on her door. She looks at her clock saying 3:14 am. She gets out of bed and puts on her dressing gown] Just a minute.
- [She walks over to the door and opens it a crack and finds Dick outside it]
- Barbara Gordon: Dick, what's wrong?
- [she undoes the lock chain on her door and lets Dick in]
- Dick Grayson: I don't know where else to go. I've had it. I can't do this anymore.
- Barbara Gordon: [walks over to him] Do what?
- Dick Grayson: [about Bruce] I got to get away. Away from him.
- Barbara Gordon: I don't understand.
- Dick Grayson: How could you? How could anybody?
- Barbara Gordon: Well, sit down and tell me about it.
- Dick Grayson: I... I can't.
- Barbara Gordon: [places her hand on Dick's cheek] You can tell me.
- Dick Grayson: [moves Barbara's hand off his cheek] It's not that, it's just... Oh, forget it!
- [turns to the door and walks to it]
- Dick Grayson: I shouldn't have come here. I'm sorry.
- [opens the door and walks out of Barbara's apartment]
- Dick Grayson: Got to work this out on my own. I'll call you later.
- [closes the door and leaves. Barbara stares sadly]
- Barbara Gordon: [after Robin saves her from falling] Thanks.
- Robin (Dick Grayson): We need to talk.
- Barbara Gordon: Not now. He needs us.
