Off Balance (1992)

Efrem Zimbalist Jr.: Alfred Pennyworth

Quotes 

• Alfred Pennyworth : But are you certain the lady in black was working with this Vertigo chap?

  Batman : Had to be, Alfred. He'd never have been able to escape if she hadn't shown up. And she was the only one who wasn't affected by his weapon.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Weapon, sir?

  Batman : That eyepiece of his. I think it gives off some kind of radiation. It must distort visual perception and sense of balance somehow, creating the illusion that everything around you is topsy-turvy.

  Alfred Pennyworth : My word.

  Batman : Not that it matters. Nothing about that can give me any clues to his whereabouts. He mentioned returning to his base before the tolling of the hour, which suggests a clock tower or a church bell, then fled west. Yet there's no such structure that could conceal a hideout, not within fifty miles to the west.

• Alfred Pennyworth : Might I suggest, Master Bruce, that you take a break? If you keep pushing yourself like this, you soon won't know your right hand from your left.

  Batman : Alfred, you're brilliant.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Yes, so I've heard.

  Batman : With my head turned around like that, I couldn't tell one direction from the other. They didn't escape to the west, they went east.

  [finding what could be Vertigo's hideout] 

  Batman : There, Alfred. That has to be the place.
