Quotes 

• Terry McGinnis : Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush, Clinton... I don't know.

  Max Gibson : Come on. Clinton was the fun one, then came the boring one.

  Terry McGinnis : They're all boring.

• Batman : By the way, what's the creepy lady's power?

  Tamara : I don't know, but they call her "Bombshell".

  Batman : Oh, that's encouraging.

• Terry McGinnis : Where are you?

  Tamara : In a boat.

  Terry McGinnis : Where's the boat?

  Tamara : In the water.

  Terry McGinnis : Where in the water?

  Tamara : I don't know!

• Max Gibson : I love it! Ghost Girl ends up saving your butt!

  Terry McGinnis : I'd call it a mutual butt-saving situation.

  Max Gibson : Whatever.

• Tamara : [after Batman breaks into her room]  I knew you'd find me!

  [runs up to him] 

  Batman : Yeah, well, your mom was worried you'd be missing this.

  [gives her the toy] 

  Tamara : Pugley!

  [hugs the toy] 

• Terry McGinnis : "Help me. Help me." Over and over again, like a broken disc.

  Bruce Wayne : And then she vanishes.

  Terry McGinnis : Yeah.

  [turning and seeing Tamara] 

  Terry McGinnis : Guess what.

  Bruce Wayne : She's here.

  Terry McGinnis : [pointing at nothing]  Yep. Right there, asking for help again.

  Bruce Wayne : Talk to her.

• Batman : [getting caught in Tamara's room]  Easy. I'm not here to make trouble. I've been talking to your girl.

• Terry McGinnis : Who are you?

  Tamara : Tamara.

  Terry McGinnis : What are you doing here?

  Tamara : I need your help.

  Terry McGinnis : Yeah, I got that. So, where are you?

  [she uses her powers to "transport" him to her] 

  Terry McGinnis : Jeez.

  Bruce Wayne : What do you see?

  Terry McGinnis : Not you or... or the mutt. It looks like a living room, real swanked out. Her parents are over there on the phone.

  Bruce Wayne : Can you ID the place?

  Terry McGinnis : Yeah. On the pillows.

  Invulnerable Man : She's doing it again. You're calling again, aren't you? Who are you calling? Tell me, now!

  Terry McGinnis : [trying to stop him, he "returns" to the Batcave]  Whoa.

  Bruce Wayne : What happened?

  Terry McGinnis : Daddy's mad.

  Bruce Wayne : What was on the pillows?

  Terry McGinnis : Letters. GPT.

  Bruce Wayne : Gotham Park Towers.

• Terry McGinnis : I can't even make out their faces.

  Bruce Wayne : You don't have to. Your subconscious will see her if she's there. Just try not to blink.

  Terry McGinnis : I can't believe all these kids are missing.

  Bruce Wayne : Believe it.

  Terry McGinnis : [the Bat-Computer finds a match]  Yeah, that's her.

  Bruce Wayne : Tamara Caulder. Reported missing yesterday. Address, 2014 Riverside, apartment 33.

• Terry McGinnis : [on a stakeout]  I'm glad you could come. It makes me look a little less conspicuous.

  Max : [taking his napkin out of his collar and putting it in his lap]  Right.

  Terry McGinnis : I've never see you in a dress before. You look good.

  Max : I only make this sacrifice for Lobster Thermidor. This is on the boss man?

  Terry McGinnis : Every bite.

  Max : Schway.

• Harry : We're not rich people, and raising Tamara has been tough. She isn't like other kids, but I guess you know that.

  Joyce : When they told us about their special school, it was like a godsend. Finally, she could get the help she needed.

  Harry : Right after they took her, Joyce realized that she forgot to pack her favorite toy.

  Joyce : I called them up right there and then, but no one answered.

  Harry : [banging the table in anger]  None of the numbers! It was all bogus, the whole school!

  Joyce : Where have they taken her? Where is my girl?

  Batman : I'm trying to find that out, Mrs. Caulder. Is there anything else you can tell me? Anything at all?

  Joyce : Well, I heard the woman on the phone. She didn't know I was listening. She kept talking about the brain trust, like it was something important. The brain trust.

  Batman : Tell me, where was this school they showed you?

• Terry McGinnis : It's crashing me down, Max. Where could she be?

  Max : Grip yourself, Ter. What about the fat man? What'd he have to say?

  Terry McGinnis : They took him down to County. I don't think he's gonna be forming sentences for a while. If she'd only contact me.

  Max : Maybe she's not here anymore.

  Terry McGinnis : No. She's in Gotham somewhere. Don't ask me how I know. I just do. I can... feel it.

  Max : Hey, I believe anything on this case.

• Terry McGinnis : Actually, it turned out pretty good. Tamara and her parents were put under protective custody. Not only do they end up in a better place, but they got doctors to help her with her powers.

  Max : You think she's doing okay?

  Terry McGinnis : [seeing a vision of Tamara waving]  Oh, yeah. I've got a feeling she's doing just fine.

• Batman : Yeah, there are desks, but just on this floor. And all the computers are just empty frames. It was made to look like a school. Any luck on the Brain Trust?

  Bruce Wayne : It's an international society, very secretive. Headquarters are somewhere in Europe, they think.

  Batman : That's it?

  Bruce Wayne : I'm still talking to Interpol. But it's fairly evident what the Brain Trust is about just by its name.

  Batman : There was nothing brainy about the guy in the hotel.

  Bruce Wayne : Oh, no? Think about it. He was invulnerable and felt no pain, like shamans who walk on hot coals. It's mind over matter.

  Batman : I hate it when you blitz me like that.
