Babel (2000)

Will Friedle: Terry McGinnis, Batman

Quotes 

• Shriek : This isn't how I wanted it! You were supposed to give yourself up to me!

  Batman : You should have gotten it in writing!

• Bruce Wayne : I wouldn't blame you if you stayed home. Not after what all those ingrates have been saying.

  Terry McGinnis : I didn't get into this for gratitude. I have a feeling you didn't either.

• Bruce Wayne : Tell me, what if you hadn't figured out how Shriek was using the towers? Would you have handed yourself over to him at midnight?

  Terry McGinnis : In case you haven't noticed, we've got a suit to repair here.

• Terry McGinnis : How did you know Robin would get there in time to save you?

  Bruce Wayne : I didn't.

  Terry McGinnis : Then for all you knew, you were walking into a trap with no way out.

  Bruce Wayne : Sometimes you have to.

• Batman : The towers are falling. Get away from there!

  Shriek : No use pleading. You're dead.

• Terry McGinnis : [looking at blueprints of the city]  That's it. That's how he's doing it.

  Bruce Wayne : How? How's he doing it?

  Terry McGinnis : [getting into the Batmobile]  I'm sure of it. He's found a way to adapt the kilmmas bay for kamma.

  Bruce Wayne : What? He must've started the interference again. I can't...

  [Terry indicates something on his wrist and takes off] 

  Bruce Wayne : [spotting what Terry saw]  The towers. He's using them as a giant tuning fork.

• Bruce Wayne : You're not thinking of handing yourself over to him, are you?

  Terry McGinnis : That's not my first choice, no.

• Terry McGinnis : Doesn't make any sense.

  Bruce Wayne : It might. The disturbances started at midnight and ended at 2:00. At the same time, the military reported interference on certain sonar frequencies.

  Terry McGinnis : So we're talking sound here.

  Bruce Wayne : And you know who that means.

• Batman : [communicating in writing]  It's happening all over town. Everyone's... going... nuts.

  Bruce Wayne : Shriek must've... found a way to interfere... with the vibrations of air molecules.

  Batman : Huh?

  Bruce Wayne : Air molecules carry the vibrations... of human speech.

  Batman : [verbally, to himself]  That's what I get for sleeping through Physics.

• Bruce Wayne : In case you haven't noticed, we've still got a lot of this shrapnel to deal with. You'd think that someone in a suit like this would be able to dodge a simple hand grenade.

  Terry McGinnis : I did dodge a hand grenade! Problem was Mad Stan had two.

• Bruce Wayne : By the way, thanks.

  Terry McGinnis : For what?

  Bruce Wayne : For reminding me why I got into this. It's been so many years now.

  Terry McGinnis : But you never really forget, do you?

  Bruce Wayne : No, you don't.

• Terry McGinnis : Shreeve was discharged by that mental hospital he was in. They say he cured him.

  Bruce Wayne : Cured him, huh? Do you believe that?

  Terry McGinnis : As the guy he blames for his hearing loss, I'd say no.

  Bruce Wayne : It had to have been Shriek. But why?

  Terry McGinnis : And how? That suit of his was pretty powerful, but I don't see how it could've affected that much of the city.
