QUOTES

  • Barbara: They tossed you in the discard pile, Jack, so talk to me.
    Jack: Lady, if you think I'm gonna fold, you're not playing with a full deck.
    (later in the interrogation)
    Jack: What do I know about art? You'll have to ask Daddy. He knows everything. Now if you don't mind, I'd like to be shown to my room, I could use a little time to myself.
    (Batman talks to Bruce while listening through a window pane)
    Batman: Sounds kind of chilly in the house of cards. edit »
  • (phone rings and Bruce answers)
    Bruce: Wayne here.
    King: Mr. Wayne, I'm sure your aware of your company's present predicament. But I'm a fair man. You can have your president back, for a mere 20 million credits.
    Bruce: No deal.
    King: Perhaps you didn't understand. If you don't pay we'll be forced to dispose of him.
    Bruce: I understand perfectly. But it's against company policy to pay terrorists or kidnappers. Ask Paxton. He wrote the policy.
    (Bruce hangs up on King)
    Terry: Uh... Bruce? You're...? You're not really gonna...?
    Bruce: Relax, it's not over. edit »
  • Queen: We've got to finish the job before we attract anymore attention.
