Batman: The Movie Page #6

Synopsis: The arch-villains of the United Underworld - the Joker, the Penguin, the Riddler and the Catwoman - combine forces to dispose of Batman and Robin as they launch their fantastic plot to control the entire world. From his submarine, Penguin and his cohorts hijack a yacht containing a dehydrator, which can extract all moisture from humans and reduce them to particles of dust. The evildoers turn the nine Security Council members in the United World Building into nine vials of multicolored crystals! Batman and Robin track the villains in their Batboat and use Batcharge missiles to force the submarine to surface.

Prepare to fire Batcharges

in front of torpedoes.

That's too soon!

It must be Batcharges!

And that means there'll be more

of the dread things meant for us!

You dismal bird!

You and your submarine!

Shut up, you feline floozy!

Mr. Bluebeard, down 30 fathoms.

Run silent, run deep.

They're diving, silent engines.

I'll circle them at full-thrust speed,

diminishing radius of curvature.

Roger.

What's their bearing?

-l don't know, sir.

-You don't know?

It's changing every second.

They must be circling us.

Fire when ready.

I'll maintain curvature.

Yo-ho! Compartments A, B and C

taking in water, sir!

Penguin, you know l can't take water!

You cowardly kitten,

you want to live forever?

-This bird has flown around the bend!

-To cuckooland!

Oh, Riddler, Joker, do something!

We weren't meant for a watery grave!

Now hear this! Now hear this!

Blow all tanks! Surface! Surface!

Cut the Batcharges.

They've had enough, l imagine.

They're surfacing fast.

-Estimated surfacing position?

-200 yards.

Here they come.

Diminishing speed. Ready to board.

Roger.

Pirates! To arms!

Prepare to repel boarders!

Strike your colors!

We have not yet begun to fight!

Attack!

Bon voyage, p*ssy.

Holy heartbreak! Miss Kitka!

[WOMAN SlNGS IN FRENCH]

Batman, I....

Say no more, Robin.

It could be compromising.

Of course.

It's just one of those things

in the life of every crime fighter.

It means nothing.

Snap on the Batcuffs.

Batman to coast guard.

There's a submarine

two miles east of Sandy Nose.

It's filled with human jetsam.

Come, take it in tow.

Robin. Over here, look.

The hope of the world,

tottering on the brink!

Holy almost!

To think, it might have been shattered

before our very eyes.

-Up, Catwoman.

-The service here has gone to pot.

What the devil is this?

The captain's costume party?

Holy jumble!

Where's the hope of the world now?

Batcentrifuge at 32,000 rpm.

Increase angstrom force in vector X.

Vector X up one notch.

[BEEPlNG]

-Yes, commissioner?

-What progress? ls there hope?

There's always hope.

But do you think you and Robin

can separate that mingled dust...

...back into its constituent members?

With all modesty, commissioner...

...if we can't, heaven knows who can.

Truer words were never spoken.

PRESIDENT:
Howdy, you all.

How are those boys doing up there?

Batman says there's hope,

Mr. President. What more can one ask?

The free world is waiting. Tell Batman

I salute him and wish him luck.

I needn't tell you

with whom l have just spoken.

Ready for separation.

All right.

I'll activate the computer link.

Input the ethnic and national factors.

-Batman, wait a minute!

-What?

Well, with the way

the world is and all...

...maybe we ought to try

to improve those factors?

-Reshuffle them a little.

-No.

It's not for us to tamper

with the laws of nature.

In this very Batcave,

you saw a ghastly example...

...of what happens

when one tries to do that.

Gosh, yes.

When you put it that way....

Here we go.

[BEEPlNG]

Yes?

Separation accomplished.

Ready to rehydrate.

Separation accomplished.

They are ready to rehydrate.

We are ready to rehydrate.

[MEN SPEAKlNG OVER LOUDSPEAKERS

IN FORElGN LANGUAGES]

MAN:

They are ready to rehydrate.

A solemn moment, gentlemen.

One of dedication

and humble supplication.

Robin, prepare to rehydrate.

Ready to rehydrate.

Turn on the water faucet.

[SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES]

Success! Success!

They've done it!

They've done it!

Success, success!

We've done it, we've done it!

[MEN SPEAKlNG OVER LOUDSPEAKERS

MAN:

Success! Success!

[SPEAKS JAPANESE]

[SPEAKS RUSSlAN]

What the--?

In the interest of peace,

you must hear me out!

[SPEAKS HEBREW]

[SPEAKS GERMAN]

[SPEAKS NIGERIAN]

[SPEAKS SPANISH]

Gentlemen, it is imperative that

we limit our conversation to peace.

[SPEAKS FRENCH]

Who knows, Robin?

This strange mixing of minds...

...may be the greatest single service

ever performed for humanity.

Let's go, but inconspicuously.

Through the window.

We'll use our Batropes.

Our job is finished.
