Kevin Conroy: Batman, Bruce Wayne

Quotes 

• Alfred Pennyworth : Good evening, Master Bruce. I'm so sorry to have disturbed your rest, but...

  Bruce Wayne : Alfred! Are you all right? Where are you?

  Alfred Pennyworth : I'm at the Yorkshire Arms just at the moment. In London.

  Bruce Wayne : London, England?

  Alfred Pennyworth : There's only one, Master Bruce. I seem to be in a bit of a sticky situation, and I was wondering if you...

  Ernie : [pounding on, then crashing through the door]  Come along easy, gramps. We don't wanna hurt you.

  Alfred Pennyworth : I'm afraid I'll have to ring off for now, sir. It seems I have unexpected guests.

• Batman : Before he came to the States, Alfred did some work as an attache in the British Security Services. More desk jobs than field work, but he acquired quite a reputation for defusing diplomatically dangerous situations in high-security areas.

  Robin : And I always thought he was just a nice old guy who polished the silver and fixed me sandwiches.

  Batman : He's fixed more than that in his time. Underneath Alfred's very proper exterior is a highly resourceful government agent. He mentioned his cousin, but as far as I know, he has no living relatives. And "cousin" can sometimes mean a fellow member of an intelligence organization.

  Robin : Well, I hear England's nice this time of year.

• Batman : [knocking out two thugs]  When they wake up, they'll tell us who they're working for.

  Robin : [finding one's tattoo]  I don't think we'll have to wait that long.

  Batman : Red Claw.

• Dick Grayson : [searching Alfred's trashed hotel room]  Bruce, over here. Looks like he put up a struggle. Poor Alfred. He must've been petrified.

  Bruce Wayne : I doubt it. He was pretty formidable in his day.
