BATMAN I called them. |
VICKI Shouldn't we -- |
GOON There they are! Dead ahead! |
JOKER ALL UNITS! SOUTHBOUND ON RIVERVIEW! |
VICKI What about her? What about the girl? |
BATMAN He won't kill her. (gritting his teeth) GODDAMMIT! |
VICKI Can't we -- |
BATMAN Too many people. Come on! (as she scrambles out) SHIELDS!! |
COMPUTER Shields. |
GOON AT WHEEL Are they ours? |
JOKER ... I don't know. We'd better get out of here. (into RADIO MIKE) Westbound on 36th. DO YOU COPY?? |
GOON I We got 'em! |
JOKER (V.O.) (over radio) Take 'em! I want his head! |
BATMAN How much do you weigh? |
VICKI ... A hundred and eight? |
BATMAN HANG ON! |
BATMAN (cont.) Whatever happens -- DON'T LET GO!! |
GOON I ... No blood. |
GOON II Jesus. |
GOON III Wait a minute. |
GOON IV ... What is that? |
GOON III Some kind of body armor. |
GOON I He's human after all. -- Take that mask off. |
GOON I Well?... Who is this guy? |
GOON II I dunno. You seen him before? |
GOON III Maybe he's got some kind of I.D. |
GOON IV Good idea. Let's check his wallet. |
GOON I We'll worry about it later. Plug him.(beat) In the head. |
GOON III Goddam, it's the redhead! |
GOON II Did you hit her? |
GOON I Who cares? Wax that freak. |
BATMAN ... Not even a 'thank you'? |
VICKI Well -- I think you might consider thanking me. You were good as dead. |
BATMAN That's because you lied about your weight. (a long pause) Thank you. |
BATMAN (cont.) I'll have to ask you for that film. |
VICKI I just wanted to distract them. I wasn't trying to get a picture of you. |
BATMAN Please. |
VICKI I won't let you have it. |
VICKI (cont.) I know you can break my neck and take it. But the Joker's on that same roll. I -- |
BATMAN The Joker is a murderer. And you were as good as dead. So -- |
VICKI Look, I appreciate what you did for me. But this is my job. And I'm keeping those pictures. |
BATMAN All right, here's a compromise. I'll develop the photos. You keep the Jokers and I'll keep the rest. |
VICKI How do I know you won't keep them all? |
BATMAN Because I'll take you with me. |
BATMAN (cont.) Thank you, Vicki. |
VICKI ... Where are you going to take me? |
BATMAN Shields open. |
COMPUTER Shields open. |
BATMAN (V.O.) (over radio) Ignition. |
COMPUTER Ignition. |
COP There's somebody in there! |
BATMAN STOP! |
VICKI ... How long have I been out? |
BATMAN Quite a while. I took the scenic route. |
VICKI (gazing around her) Well, I've certainly enjoyed it. What's that? |
BATMAN Garage door. |
VICKI I meant to ask you. Up on the roof -- how did you know my name? |
VICKI (cont.) I'm serious. How did you know? |
VICKI What is this stuff? Kevlar? |
BATMAN Better. It's not on the market yet. |
VICKI It doesn't protect your head, though. |
BATMAN That's why I wear a target on my chest. |
VICKI How'd you find this place? |
BATMAN Stumbled across it when I was a boy. |
BATMAN (cont.) They don't come down here. They're afraid of the lights. |
VICKI I don't like bats. Not that kind. |
BATMAN They used to terrify me. But I forced myself to keep coming back, and -- (smiling) -- I guess I became the thing I feared the most. I'll do your photos now. |
VICKI Who pays for all this? |
BATMAN I have sponsors. |
VICKI The computers? |
BATMAN I'm running a check on the tainted products. There is a pattern. Beauty products. Personal hygiene. |
VICKI No more makeup. -- Looks like we'll all be showing our true faces now. |
BATMAN I've tracked all the records. Every shipment, every warehouse, every loading dock. Nothing. No opportunities for tampering. Somehow the Joker is supplying tainted ingredients... at the source. |
VICKI Wait. You can just tap into any corporate database you want? Anywhere? |
BATMAN Oh, no. I let the FBI do that. Then I tap into the FBI. -- Your photos are ready. |
VICKI You could've killed him, you know. You could have killed the Joker. |
BATMAN I had to save you, Vicki. (turning to face her) Here you go. I think I'll let you keep the whole set. |
BATMAN (cont.) Care for an autograph? |
VICKI ... Bruce? |
BATMAN Are you talking to me? |
BATMAN (cont.) Maybe we've had enough for one night. I'll take you home. |
BATMAN (cont.) Do you want to do it this time? |
BATMAN (cont.) Don't be afraid. I'm here. |
BRUCE (V.O.) Vicki... ? |
BRUCE Vicki, I've been thinking about you. (long pause) I know it's late. I'm sorry. I -- Are you there? |
VICKI Yes, Bruce -- I'm here -- |
BRUCE I'm sorry about the way things went between us. I'd very much like to see you again. |
VICKI Well, Bruce... I don't think... that would be possible. |
BRUCE I wish you'd reconsider. (groping) I didn't stand you up today. The museum was closed when I got there. |
VICKI I, uh... |
BRUCE (V.O.) Vicki? Vi -- |
KNOX Vicki, it all fits. The stuff you're telling me -- the car, the equipment -- somebody's paying for it. |
VICKI I just can't -- |
KNOX The FBI. You know who's got the FBI computer contract? Wayne Technologies. (shaking his head) The guy's bats all right. He's bat shit crazy. This is gonna be the most incredible -- |
VICKI But he's not. |
KNOX Not what? |
VICKI He's not crazy. |
KNOX Vicki. We got a wealthy millionaire here... who dresses up like a bat. He goes out at night and swings around -- in his cape -- on a rope. (throwing up his hands) Okay. Maybe I'm crazy. |
VICKI Allie... he wants to tell me. That's why he took me there. Because he's trying to tell me. |
KNOX Gimme a break. If he wants to chat, he can talk to his car. |
