Alfred Pennyworth: Is the young master leaving? Pity. I'll just toss this away, then. Perhaps the dogs are hungry.
Bruce Wayne: [Edward extends his had to shake Bruce's] Mister...?
Edward Nygma: Ohhhhh... Bruce Wayne.
Bruce Wayne: No, that's uh, my name. And you are?
Edward Nygma: Oh! Nygma. Edward... Edward Nygma. You hired me personally. We've never actually met, but your name is on the hiring slip. I have it.
Bruce Wayne: I'm gonna need that hand back, Ed.
Bruce Wayne: Oh! Yes, of course! I'm sorry. It's just that... you're my idol.
Fred Stickley: Back to work, Edward.
Edward Nygma: [yanks arm away] And some people have been trying to keep us apart
Fred Stickley: Back to work, Edward!
Bruce Wayne: It's okay. So, Mr. Nygma, what's on your mind?
Edward Nygma: Precisely! What's on all our minds? Brainwaves.
[giggles, running back toward his cubicle]
Edward Nygma: The future of Wayne Enterprises is brainwaves.
Fred Stickley: You'll have to forgive this, Mr. Wayne; I personally terminated
this project this morning!
Bruce Wayne: It's okay.
Edward Nygma: [pops out with a high-tech contraption] I have it! Voila! Huh? My invention beams any TV signal directly into the human brain. By stimulating the neurons, manipulating brainwaves if you will, this device makes the viewer feel like they're actually inside the show! Why be brutalized by
an uncaring world?
Bruce Wayne: Did you say manipulating brainwaves?
Edward Nygma: Well... uh... yes.
Bruce Wayne: Hmmm.
Edward Nygma: Not that someone like you would need this. Someone so... sophisticated... and intelligent. I just need additional funds and time for human testing. Let me show you,
please!
Bruce Wayne: Now look, Ed. I'm going to need a full set of technical schematics on this, all right?
Edward Nygma: I want you to know we're gonna be full partners on this Bruce! Look at us! Two of a kind!
Bruce Wayne: You call my assistant Margaret, she'll set something up.
Edward Nygma: [grabs
Wayne by the arm] Uhhhhhh... that's not gonna be good for me. I need an answer now. I think I deserve it.
Bruce Wayne: I'm sorry, Ed, then the answer's no. Stimulating neurons... tampering with people's brainwaves... it just raises too many questions. I'm sorry. Thanks, everybody, factory looks great; keep up the good work.
Fred Stickley: All right,
everyone. Back to work...
Fred Stickley: [in Nygma's ear] We'll discuss this later!
Edward Nygma: [watching Wayne leave] You were supposed to understand!... I'll make you understand.
The Riddler: [to Two Face after Batman shows up] Your entrance was good... his was better. The difference: showmanship.
Dr. Chase Meridian: He'll slaughter them without thinking twice.
Batman: Agreed. A trauma powerful enough to create an alternate personality leaves the victim...
Dr. Chase Meridian: - in a world where normal rules of right and wrong no longer apply.
Batman: Exactly.
Dr. Chase Meridian:
Like you. - Well, let's just say that I could write a hell of a paper on a grown man who dresses like a flying rodent.
Batman: Bats aren't rodents, Dr. Meridian.
The Riddler: [as "The Box" is used on Strickley; imitating game show host] Edward Nygma, come on down! You're the next contestant on "Brain Drain"!
The Riddler: [imitating shy game show contestant] Um, gee, ooh, uh, I'll take what's inside Thick Skull #1!
The Riddler: [imitating game show host] What have we got for him, Johnny?
The Riddler: [laughs] Stickley! I'm having a breakthrough! And a breakdown? Maybe! Nevertheless, I'm smarter. I'm a genius. No, several geniuses! A gaggle! A swarm! A flock of freakin' Freuds! Riddle me this, Fred! What is everything to someone and nothing to everyone else? Your mind, baby! And now mine pumps with the power of yours!
The Riddler:
[singing] I'm sucking up your I.Q., vacuuming your cortex, feeding off your brain!
Two-Face: You have broken into our hideout. You have violated the sanctity of our lair. For this we should crush your bones into POWDER. However, you do pose a very interesting proposition: therefore, heads, we accept, and tails, we blow your damned head off!
Edward Nygma: [during his introduction of "The Box"] Now, you can be a part of the action. Witness the entertainment in your living room.
Edward Nygma: [presents "The Box"] The Box, in every home in America, and one day, the world.
The Riddler: Soon my little "Box" will be on countless TVs around the world. Feeding me, credit card numbers, bank codes, sexual fantasies, and little white lies. Into my head they'll go. Victory is inevitable.
The Riddler: [after shooting down the Batplane] I hope they can find the little black box.
Gang Leader: Who the hell are you?
Dick Grayson: I'm Batman.
[the whole gang starts laughing]
Dick Grayson: Okay, so I forgot my suit, all right!
Fred Stickley: Bruce Wayne was right! You demented, bizarre, unethical toad! It is brain manipulation! I'm reporting you to the FCC, the Human Experimentation Board, the AMI, and the police! You are going up on charges, to court, to jail, and then to a mental institution for the rest of your twisted little life! But first and foremost, Nygma, you are fired! Do you hear me?
*Fired*!
