Batman Forever

[Metallic clanking]

[Dramatic instrumental music, background]

Can I persuade you to take a sandwich?

I'll get drive-through.

[Batmobile engine roars]

[Engine revs in acceleration]

[Batman Forever theme song plays]

[Crowd shouting]

[High-pitched screeching]

You're counting on the Winged Avenger

to deliver you from evil...

...aren't you, my friend?

[Chuckles softly]

Are you going to kill me?

Maybe, maybe not.

We're of two minds on the subject.

TWO-FACE:
Are you a gambling man?

Let's say we flip for it?

TWO-FACE:
One man is born a hero,

his brother a coward.

[Whispers] Babies starve,

politicians grow fat...

...holy men are martyred,

and junkies grow legion.

Why?

TWO-FACE:
Why, why, why, why, why?

Luck!

[Shouts] Blind, stupid, simple, doo-dah...

...clueless luck!

[Cackles]

TWO-FACE:
The random toss...

...is the only true justice.

Let's see what justice has in store...

...for you.

[Chuckles]

TWO-FACE:
[Whispers]

It's like the touch of God.

Wait, wait, wait.

[Gasps]

Fortune smiles.

Another day of wine and roses.

In your case, beer and pizza.

TWO-FACE:
Out of here, guys!

BANK GUARD:
You said you'd let me live!

TWO-FACE:
Too true!

TWO-FACE:
And so you shall! Nothing's

better than live bait to trap a bat.

[Chaotic reactions from crowd]

[Batman Forever theme song plays,

background]

[Crowd shouting and talking excitedly]

Hot entrance.

Two-Face?

Two guards are dead.

He's holding a third hostage.

Didn't see this one coming.

CHASE:
We should have.

The Second Bank of Gotham...

BATMAN:
Second anniversary

of the day I captured him.

CHASE:
How could he resist?

I'm Chase Meridian.

COMMISSIONER:
I asked her to come here

to consult on the case. She specializes in...

Abnormal psychology,

multiple personalities. I read your work.

Insightful.

Naive, but insightful.

I'm flattered. Not every girl

makes a superhero's night table.

COMMISSIONER:
Can we reason with him?

He's got innocent people up there.

CHASE:
It won't do any good.

He'll slaughter them without a thought.

BATMAN:
Agreed.

A trauma powerful enough to create

an alternate personality leaves one...

CHASE:
In a world where normal rules

of right and wrong no longer apply.

Exactly.

CHASE:
Like you.

I could write a hell of a paper on a man

who dresses like a flying rodent.

Bats aren't rodents, Dr. Meridian.

Really? I didn't know that.

You are interesting.

[Propellers pelting overhead]

And call me Chase.

By the way, do you have a first name,

or do I call you Bats?

[Chaotic reactions from crowd]

[Dramatic instrumental beat, background]

Let's start this party with a bang!

[Thunderous crashing]

[Cackles]

[Bell rings]

Very punctual, even for his own funeral.

Boys!

TWO-FACE:
Kill the Bat!

[Cackles]

[Cackles]

[Bell rings]

Blast him!

[Rapid machine-gun blasts]

[Silence]

Open sesame.

[Metallic scraping]

[Two-Face grunts]

[Grunting and groaning]

[Fast-paced instrumental music,

background]

[Zap]

[Groaning]

[Wailing]

[Grunting and groaning]

[Huffing and puffing]

[Yelling]

[Muffled shouting]

Ouch!

BANK GUARD:
It's a trap!

[Short, rapid gasps]

[Loud, distorted sound effects]

Oh, no!

[More distorted and echoing sound effects]

[Bank guard screams]

[Chaotic yelling and screaming from crowd]

[Instrumental music continues,

background]

TWO-FACE ON LOUDSPEAKER:

Attention citizens of fair Gotham!

[Cackles hysterically]

When we open that safe,

we'll have everything we ever wanted:

Enough cash to rain down upon

fair Gotham, a glorious flood of chaos.

And, of course...

... you, my boy, dead!

[Two-Face chuckles]

Oh, no!

BANK GUARD:
It's boiling acid!

For your dying pleasure, we are serving

the acid that made us the men we are!

BANK GUARD:
[Shrieks] No!

BATMAN:
Hold on.

BANK GUARD:
Yes!

[Cackles hysterically]

TWO-FACE:
Haul away!

Yes! Haul away!

[Mechanical rattling]

BATMAN:
Give me your hand.

BANK GUARD:
[Cries] Don't let go!

Aah!

[Wailing]

BATMAN:
I must borrow this.

[Shrieks] Hey!

BANK GUARD:
That's my hearing aid!

Thanks.

BANK GUARD:
Wow!

My shoes are melting!

[Dramatic instrumental music, background]

BANK GUARD:
[Shrieks] No more!

[Two-Face screams]

[Hissing]

[Clank]

[Bank guard gasps]

Hang on.

[Gasps] Hang on?

[Hissing]

[Bank guard screaming]

[Loud, distorted rumbling]

[Coughs]

COMMISSIONER:
Get him down.

Get him down.

Take it easy with him.

COMMISSIONER:
You'll be all right.

Just stay calm.

[Zooming]

[Cackles] This'll fix him!

TWO-FACE:
Hang on, Batty!

[Cackles hysterically]

[Cackles]

[Roaring explosion]

[Gasps] Let's see.

TWO-FACE:
Yes!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

Oh, happy day!

[Cackles]

Farewell forever to that...

...pointy-eared night rat!

PILOT:
Face!

Hey, Face!

[Cackles]

[Screams] No!

[Rapid machine-gun blasts]

[Bang, Two-Face grunts]

[Smash]

You need help. Give it up.

[Short, rapid gasps]

[Dramatic instrumental music, background]

[Cackles]

Have the good taste to die!

See you!

[Cackles hysterically]

[Thunderous explosion]

[Batman Forever theme song, background]

[Gasps]

NEWSCASTER:
Despite a valiant effort

last night by Batman...

... Harvey Two-Face is still at large

and extremely dangerous.

In other news today...

... billionaire Bruce Wayne extended

his profit-sharing program...

... to the employees of the successful

electronics branch of Wayne Enterprises.

[Elevator bell rings]

[Upbeat instrumental music, background]

[Hiss]

STICKLEY:
Mr. Wayne.

STICKLEY:
Your inspections are

a departmental highlight.

[Gasps] Oh, my God, it's him.

I am a winner. I am a winner.

I am a winner.

I am a winner.

[Riddler doll chuckles]

Bioremediation. Alternative fuel.

Mr. Wayne, look at that time.

Perhaps we should get to R & D

as soon as possible.

Mister...?

Oh, Bruce Wayne.

No, that's my name. And you are?

[Gasps] Nygma.

Edward.

Edward Nygma. You hired me personally.

EDWARD:
Just like I tell everyone.

We've never actually met, but your name

was on the hiring slip. I have it.

I need that hand back.

Oh, yes, of course.

I'm sorry.

It's just that...

[Whispers]... you're my idol.

Back to work.

And some people have been trying

to keep us apart.

Back to work.

BRUCE:
It's okay.

What's on your mind?

Precisely.

What's on all our minds?

Brain waves.

[Giggles]

EDWARD:
The future...

...of Wayne Enterprises...

...is brain waves.

STICKLEY:
I must apologize, Mr. Wayne.

- I terminated his project today.

- It's okay.

EDWARD:
I have it!

[Rattling]

Voil!

[Gasps excitedly]

My invention...

...beams any TV signal directly

into the human brain.

By stimulating neurons,

manipulating brain waves...

EDWARD:
this device makes the audience

feel like they're inside the show.

Why be brutalized by an uncaring world?

Did you say "manipulating brain waves"?

[Pants]

Yes.

EDWARD:
But...

... someone like you would never need it.

Someone so...

... intelligent, witty and...

[Sirens blaring in distance]

... charming.

I need a bit of additional funding
