Quotes 

• Terry McGinnis : It will have to wait til tonight. I have to get to class. It's family studies and I'm failing.

  Bruce Wayne : How does someone fail family studies?

• Bruce Wayne : Do you have to keep lugging that thing around with you?

  Terry McGinnis : I need the grade.

  Bruce Wayne : Even real parents with real children find ways to get away for a night.

  Terry McGinnis : I tried leaving it with my mom, but she said she was too young to be a grandmother.

  Bruce Wayne : What about your brother?

  Terry McGinnis : I tried that, too, then I caught him shooting rubber bands at it. Hey, you know, maybe you could...

  [Bruce glares] 

  Terry McGinnis : Never mind.

• Bruce Wayne : What's going on there? Is that a baby?

  Batman : Um...

  Bruce Wayne : You brought a *baby* with you?

  Batman : It's not what you think. Really.

  Bruce Wayne : Terry, is there something you need to tell me?

  Batman : It's not a child. It's... turn on your vidlink.

  [Bruce does so] 

  Batman : See? It's not a real baby.

  Bruce Wayne : Why am I not reassured?

• Terry McGinnis : Ma Mayhem?

  Bruce Wayne : A tabloid gave her that name. It was the golden age of alliteration.

  Terry McGinnis : So what do you want me to do? Wait until she tries to fence the ruby?

  Bruce Wayne : I have a feeling she'll be holding on to it. There was another robbery a week ago.

  Terry McGinnis : More rubies?

  Bruce Wayne : Exactly.

  Terry McGinnis : What is she going to do them all?

  Bruce Wayne : Don't know. But I have a feeling she not making slippers.

  Terry McGinnis : Slippers? From rubies?

  Bruce Wayne : Hm. Before your time.

• Terry McGinnis : No sign of him anywhere. I've lost him.

  Bruce Wayne : Him? That's a doll you're talking about, not a life.

  Terry McGinnis : It's my life if it's lost. I'll have to take family studies again. Have you ever taken family studies?

• Bruce Wayne : Terry, remember. It's not worth risking your life for an egg.

• Batman : Poor kid's gonna cry 'til he shuts down.

  Bruce Wayne : Its cries are computer-generated, aren't they?

  Batman : Yeah. So?

  Bruce Wayne : That would mean the cries would have certain quantifiable digital properties.

  Batman : Then I can set the Batmobile to scan for them, can't I?

  Bruce Wayne : Uh-huh. Unless they've already made an omelet out of him.

  Batman : [insulted]  Oh, hey!

• Bruce Wayne : My instruments say you're only doing 180. Is there a problem?

  Batman : Uh... she's feeling a little sluggish tonight. Didn't want to push it.

  Bruce Wayne : [hearing the eggbaby fuss]  What was that?

  Batman : Nothing.

• Bruce Wayne : It's the one piece they haven't gotten yet. Part of a display at the Museum of Fashion. You think baby could keep its mouth shut for one night?

  Terry McGinnis : I gave it a double feeding, changed it, kept it awake all afternoon. Believe me, it'll be off in nap city for hours.

• Bruce Wayne : Turns out she's not stealing just any rubies. They're all part of a set she stole once before. And now that she's out of prison, she wants them back.

  Terry McGinnis : So much for rehabilitation.

  Bruce Wayne : Ma's very determined. And that makes her and her boys very dangerous. Your ride's on its way.

  Terry McGinnis : I'll meet it on the roof.
