Malachi Throne: Fingers
Quotes
-
[the gorilla known as Fingers returns to street level outside Gotham Studios, and flags down a cab which, surprisingly, stops]
Cab driver : Where to, sir?
Fingers : The Wildlife Way Station, fast.
Cab driver : Yes, sir.
[Fingers gets into the back of the cab, which sags with his substantial weight. The door closes and the cab drives off]
Cab driver : Must be hot in that costume.
Fingers : You get used to it.

[Above a jungle, a cargo carrier lands. Fingers walks out, followed by Terry and Bruce]
Fingers : [looks around] Looks the same. Quieter, though.
[Terry looks to Bruce, who takes an injection gun from under his jacket and walks up behind Fingers]
Fingers : [turns around halfway, waves it off] No. No injection.
Bruce Wayne : But this will get rid of your human DNA.
Terry McGinnis : You won't remember what happened.
Fingers : I want to remember.
[Bruce puts away the injection gun]
Fingers : I've been given a gift. I'm strong as a gorilla, but smart as a human. I'm going to use it.
Terry McGinnis : How?
Fingers : There'll be more poachers. There'll always be more. But now they'll have to deal with me.
[Fingers walks off, looking back at the edge of the clearing once before entering the forest]
Terry McGinnis : He knows who we are.
Bruce Wayne : I don't think we need to worry. He's a kindred spirit if I've ever seen one.

[Fingers grabs James Van Doyle on the ground by the front of his shirt]
Fingers : Where is my mother?
James Van Dyle : I... I-I probably sold her.
Fingers : "Probably"?
James Van Dyle : I don't know. I-I-I don't keep track.
Fingers : She was my mother!
James Van Dyle : [softly] To me, it was just another gorilla.
[Fingers growls, lifts Van Dyle up and holds him high against a tree. Batman recovers from the taser hits]
Batman : No!
[Batman rushes over and tries to pull Fingers' right arm away from the gasping Van Dyle. Fingers growls and bats Batman aside and proceeds to choke Van Dyle]
Batman : [getting up again] That's right, kill him. It's what anybody would do. Any human.
Fingers : [insulted] I am not human.
Batman : Well, you're sure not a gorilla anymore.
[Fingers drops Van Dyle and walks away, past Batman]
