Quotes 

• Bruce Wayne : This stuff can turn a person's DNA inside out. It's toxic industrial waste. Probably buried several years ago. That's where Wallace fits in.

  Terry McGinnis : You're getting a little ahead of me here.

  Bruce Wayne : Don't you read the news? It was only ten years ago.

  Terry McGinnis : I was seven.

  Bruce Wayne : Oh. Well, back then, the DA accused Wallace of dumping this kind of chemical. Nothing was ever proved though. What did you find out about your friend?

  Terry McGinnis : Not much, except that Wallace isn't her real father.

  Bruce Wayne : Not her father? Now that's intere... um, promising.

• Dana : You're cheating.

  Terry McGinnis : Am not.

  Dana : You have to be cheating. There's no way you could know something like that without a calculator.

  Terry McGinnis : People used to.

  Dana : You're saying you memorized the multiplication tables? What for?

  Terry McGinnis : My dad was a scientist. Guess he wanted me to be ready for anything.

  Dana : 15 times 15.

  Terry McGinnis : 225.

• Bruce Wayne : Interesting.

  Terry McGinnis : Interesting? That's all you can say? It was unbelievable!

  Bruce Wayne : A word I rarely use.

  Terry McGinnis : You think I'm crazy, don't you?

  Bruce Wayne : Terry, the sample you gave me was just ordinary soil, plain old dirt.

  Terry McGinnis : It was alive!

  Bruce Wayne : Okay, supposing it was, do you really think last night will be the end of it?

• Bill Wallace : [after telling the story about what happened to Jackie's father, Tony]  He had to be dead, that's what we figured, anyway.

  Jackie : Why didn't you tell me?

  Bill Wallace : You were too young, and besides, it wouldn't have brought him back.

  Terry McGinnis : But he is back, isn't he?

  Jackie : What do you mean?

  Terry McGinnis : That chemical they were dumping had catalyzing properties, it can scramble DNA with other organic materials, like the Earth itself.

• Jackie : My father...

  Batman : He's not your father. Not really, he's... a ghost.

• Batman : I'm at the entrance.

  Bruce Wayne : Good. Keep your directional mics open. You might pick up something.

  Batman : All right. I'll keep 'em open. Where do I start?

  Bruce Wayne : Well, we've got a rough idea of where the house is, and we know the underground rivers can take you almost anywhere in the city. That's the good news.

  Batman : And the bad news?

  Bruce Wayne : Everything else.

• Bill Wallace : Tony? It's you, isn't it? It had to be.

  Jackie Wallace : Tony? That was my father's name. But this can't be...

  Bill Wallace : Get away from here as fast as you can. Go!

  Jackie Wallace : No. I want to know what this is about.

  Bill Wallace : Jackie, do what I say! Tony... please... I didn't know. I didn't know!

  Jackie Wallace : [Batman steps out of the shadows]  Bill, tell me everything. Now.

  Bill Wallace : I... I can't.

  Batman : Better tell her, unless you want me to.
