[Adam disarms the bomb in time and with one second left]
Burt Ward: Good thing that bomb was a fake.
[BOOM! The bomb explodes and the blast sends Burt flying out of the cave and Adam walks out unharmed]
Burt Ward: How come you didn't get burned?
Adam West: Stuntman. (edit) [getting ready to have a bar fight with four henchmen]
Burt Ward: Well?
Adam West: I say we fight our way out like we always did.
Burt Ward: We had stuntmen then. Even if mine was always on a coffee break. (edit) [after the Batmobile's been stolen from the charity event]
Museum Hostess: The Batmobile's been stolen.
Adam West: Using my key.
Burt Ward: Holy tire tracks! Look, they go from two to one. It went out on two wheels. That fiend.
Adam West: He may be a fiend, but he's an excellent driver. (edit) Valet Parker: Hey, if you're looking for the Batmobile, it went that way.
Adam West: [noticing he's wearing an eye patch] You have a sharp eye, my friend. (edit) (Adam and Burt are sitting in the Batmobile)
Burt Ward: Wow. You know, it seems like almost yesterday.
Adam West: Almost thirty-five years, Burt. Time tumbles by.
Burt Ward: You know. I forget what some of these buttons do.
Adam West: I wouldn't touch those if I were...
(Burt presses a button and oil sprays out on the museum guests) (edit)
