Michael Gough Quotes

Alfred Pennyworth We're going to need a bigger cave.

Dr. Charles Decker Margaret, I can't stand hysterics. Especially in the morning.

Alfred Pennyworth May I help you, Master Grayson?

Dick Grayson How come this is the only locked door in this museum? What've you got back here?

Alfred Pennyworth Master Wayne's dead wives. The silver closet. On your way.

Crane So... three persons murdered. First, Peter Van Garrett and his son, Dirk Van Garrett. Both of them strong, capable men, found together... decapitated. One week later, the widow Winship. Also decapitated. Now, I will need to ask you many questions. But first, let me ask: Is anyone suspected?

Van Tassell How much have your superiors explained to you, constable?

Crane Only that the three were slain in open ground. Their heads found severed from their bodies.

Reverend Steenwyck Their heads were not found severed. Their heads were not found at all.

Crane The heads are... Gone?

Notary Hardenbrook Taken. Taken by the Headless Horseman. Taken back to hell.

Crane Pardon, I...I don't...

Van Tassell Perhaps you had best sit down? The Horseman was a Hessian mercenary, sent to these shores by German princes to keep Americans under the yoke of England. But unlike his compatriots, who came for money, the Horseman came for love of carnage. When battle was joined, there you'd find him; he rode a giant black steed named Daredevil, and was infamous for riding his horse hard into battle, chopping off heads at full gallop. He'd filed his teeth down to sharp points, to add to the ferocity of his appearance. This butcher didn't finally meet his end until the winter of 79, not far from here in our western woods. They chopped off his head with his own sword; even today the western woods is a haunted place, where brave men will not venture...for what was planted in the ground that day was a seed of evil. And so it's been for 20 years...but now the Hessian wakes. He's on the rampage, cutting off heads where he finds them.

Crane Are you saying...? Is that what you believe?

Notary Hardenbrook Seeing is believing.

Alfred Pennyworth Can I persuade you to take a sandwich with you, sir?

Batman I'll get drive-thru.

Dr. Charles Decker There's danger in that hungry plant... it thrives on meat!

Dr. Charles Decker Konga! Konga! Put me down! Put me down, I say!

Alfred Pennyworth Broken wings mend in time. One day, Robin will fly again.

Alfred Pennyworth Well, come what may. Merry Christmas, Mr. Wayne.

Bruce Wayne Merry Christmas, Alfred. Good will toward men...and women.

Dr. Charles Decker Please leave, I want to be alone with Konga.

Alfred Pennyworth There is no defeat in death, Master Bruce. Victory comes in defending what we know is right while we still live.

Alfred Pennyworth I'll cancel the pizzas!

Alfred Pennyworth Young men with a mind for revenge need little encouragement. They need guidance. You, above all, should know the consequences of the life you choose.
