- 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 Wallace: Will you please tell me what is going on?
- Bill Wallace: There's no time to explain. Now help me get your stuff together.
- Jackie Wallace: Those... those things that came up out of the ground, what were they?
- Bill Wallace: I... I don't know.
- Jackie Wallace: You know. Otherwise, we wouldn't be leaving like this. It's not like you.
- Bill Wallace: Sorry to interrupt the homework, but I'm trying to work on my expansion plans and I can't concentrate.
- Jackie Wallace: We're being as quiet as we can.
- Bill Wallace: That's why I can't concentrate. I get nervous when kids are too quiet.
- Tony Maychek: I don't know about this, Bill.
- Bill Wallace: The shaft's totally sealed. No way for a bleed-through.
- Tony Maychek: What if there's a quake?
- Bill Wallace: Tony, listen to me. We may be cutting corners now, but someday, this company's gonna be very, very big. Don't you want a share of that?
- Tony Maychek: You talkin' partnership?
- Bill Wallace: I am. Think of Jackie; no mother, just you. You want the best for her, don't you?
- Tony Maychek: [shaking hands] Looks like I'm gonna need a rope... partner.
- Jackie Wallace: You can't be. You just can't be. But you are, aren't you? You're him. You're my father.
- Earthmover: Yes... Jackie.
- Jackie Wallace: And this is what the accident did to you?
- Earthmover: Not accident!
- Bill Wallace: Tony?
- Earthmover: You... left... me... buried!
- Bill Wallace: I thought you were dead.
- Earthmover: No! Didn't want partner!
- Bill Wallace: That's not true! There was nothing I could do for you, nothing! But there was Jackie. I took care of her like she was my own daughter. Isn't that what you would have wanted?
- Earthmover: You stole her!
- Bill Wallace: You wanna kill me? Go ahead. I got a lot to answer for, but for God's sakes, let Jackie go.
- Earthmover: She stays... and you die.
- 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.
