Batman Forever Page #6

Clever.

Thanks.

My pleasure.

[Scattered conversations]

[Ding]

[Zap]

COMPUTER:
Good evening, Mr. Wayne.

Relax.

[Computer speaks in a slow,

hypnotic voice]

Tell me your...

... dreams.

Tell me...

... your fantasies.

Tell me your secrets.

Tell me...

... your deepest...

... darkest...

... fears.

[Chaotic yelling]

[Gunshots]

[Smashing]

No, no, no!

[Screaming]

[Cackles]

TWO-FACE:
Relax, folks!

It's only an old-fashioned, low-tech stickup!

We're interested in the basics:

Cash, jewelry, cellular telephones.

[Chaotic screaming]

Hand them over nice and quietly,

and no one will be hurt!

Emergency, Alfred.

ALFRED:
Yes, sir.

EDWARD:
Be calm, everybody!

Just stay calm!

Excuse me!

EDWARD:
You're ruining my big party!

Are you insane?

[Gulps]

We're sick of waiting for you

to deliver Batman.

Patience, O Bifurcated One.

[Yells] Patience, hell! We want him dead!

And nothing brings out the Batman

like a little murder and mayhem!

[Giggles]

You could have let me in on the caper.

We could have organized it, planned it,

pre-sold the movie rights!

Ha!

[Crash]

Batman!

Your entrance was good, his was better.

[Grunting and groaning]

The difference?

Showmanship!

[Grunting and groaning]

[Chaotic yelling]

DICK:
Emergency, Alfred.

ALFRED:
Oh, sir...

I could be fired for this.

Perhaps they'll have me back

at Buckingham Palace.

[Chaotic yelling and screaming,

grunting and groaning]

All right, boys! Phase Two!

My place, midnight.

[Cackles]

[Cackles]

[Gunshots]

[Hoots and hollers]

[Dramatic instrumental music, background]

[Two-Face cackles]

[Two-Face cackles]

[Hissing]

Nothing like a bad case of gas!

[Gunshot]

[Flames roaring]

[Two-Face cackling]

[Hooting and hollering]

[Dramatic instrumental music, background]

[Shrieks] Why can't you just die?

[Repeated machine-gun blasts]

[Thunderous crashing]

[Cackles]

[Dramatic instrumental music, background]

Hi.

[Dick breathes heavily]

What were you doing?

You got a real gratitude problem,

you know that?

I need a name. Batboy? Knight Wing?

What's a good sidekick name?

"Dick Grayson, college student."

DICK:
Screw you!

I saved your life. You owe me.

You're going to get yourself killed.

I'm your new partner.

No!

Whenever you go out at night, I'll be

watching. Where Batman goes, I'll go.

How will you stop me?

I can stop you.

Al...

Hang this next to the Batsuit...

...where it belongs.

BRUCE:
You're encouraging him.

Young men with a mind for revenge

need little encouragement.

They need guidance.

ALFRED:
You, above all, should know

the consequences of the life you choose.

Even Chase calls being Batman a curse.

ALFRED:
Perhaps the lady is just

what the doctor ordered.

She seems lovely and wise.

BRUCE:
I've never been in love before.

Go to her.

Tell her how you feel.

She wants Batman, not Bruce Wayne.

Let her decide.

[Soft instrumental music, background]

[Chase gasps]

CHASE:
I'm sorry.

I can't believe this.

I've imagined this moment

since I first saw you.

Your eyes...

...your lips...

...your body.

CHASE:
Now I have you and...

...I'm wishing you were somebody else.

[Sighs]

I guess a girl has to grow up sometime.

CHASE:
I've met someone.

He's not you.

I hope you can understand.

I understand.

Well...

[Zoom]

[Two-Face wails]

That's just what I said.

Then I taught my doggie a new trick:

How to map the human mind.

Would you like to see

what Bruce Wayne has in his head?

[Hollers]

Riddle me this:

What kind of man...

...has bats on the brain?

[Two-Face howls and cackles]

- Go ahead. You can say it.

- You're a genius.

Oh, stop.

[Both giggle]

BRUCE:
So, from this day on...

...Batman is no more.

DICK:
You can't just quit.

There's monsters out there.

Batman has to protect the innocent.

BRUCE:
I've dedicated my life to helping

strangers I've never met.

Faces I've never seen.

BRUCE:
Well...

...the innocent aren't faceless anymore.

You can't tell me what to do

with the rest of my life.

My dad told me that every man goes

his own way.

DICK:
My way goes to Two-Face.

You must help me.

BRUCE:
And if you do find Harvey...

...and then you kill him...

...what next?

[Dick sighs]

BRUCE:
Exactly.

Then you'd be alone, like me.

BRUCE:
No, you must let this go.

Listen to me, I'm your friend.

DICK:
I don't need a friend,

I need a partner.

Two-Face has got to pay.

Please.

Chase is coming for dinner.

I'm going to tell her...

...everything.

Come upstairs. We'll talk.

[Dramatic instrumental beat, background]

ALFRED:
Good evening.

CHASE:
Good evening.

ALFRED:
Happy Halloween.

CHASE:
Happy Halloween to you.

[Rat squeaks]

I asked you here tonight because

there's something I wanted to tell you.

I wanted to tell you something too.

BRUCE:
What I wanted...

[Both laugh]

BRUCE:
Go ahead, you first.

Trick or treat!

[Giggling]

All my life I have been...

...attracted to a certain kind of man.

The wrong kind.

CHASE:
Look at what I do for a living.

And since...

...since I met you, I...

Oh, God.

Why am I so nervous?

[Clanking]

CHASE:
[Gasps] Oh!

[Gunshot echoes]

Don't eat too much tonight

or you'll be sick in your beds.

[Upbeat instrumental music, background]

[Children giggle and talk excitedly]

[Two-Face cackles]

Happy Halloween!

[Thunder rumbles]

What's wrong?

BRUCE:
It's happening again.

Flashes.

My parents' death.

Your memories are trying

to break through.

BRUCE:
I want to tell you something.

Something I've never told anyone.

CHASE:
It's all right.

It's all right. I'm here.

CHASE:
[Voice echoing] I'm here.

[Priest reciting prayers]

BRUCE:
The night of my parents' wake...

... the priest's words gave no comfort.

Of course.

There, on my father's desk...

... the red book.

His journal.

He'd written in it every day.

But now he'd never write in it again.

At that moment I knew...

... my life would never be the same.

I raced out into the storm...

... trying to outrun the rage.

The pain.

Then I fell.

I fell forever.

The cave was monstrous.

It must have been there for centuries.

And there...

... deep in the shadows...

... I saw...

It was coming toward me.

I was scared at first, but only at first.

The figure in the dark was my destiny.

It would change my life forever.

I would use its image to strike terror

into the hearts of those who did evil.

I would ensure what happened to me

would never happen to anyone else.

I would have my revenge.

CHASE:
What are you trying to tell me?

BRUCE:
I'm...

Twick or tweet!

[Bang]

[Crash]

Trick.

[Whispers] Remember the plan?

Seize and capture.

No killing.

That goes double for you.

[Thugs chuckle]

RIDDLER:
If I was a superhero...

...where would I hide?

[Whispers] Spank me.

[Chaotic yelling,

dramatic instrumental beat, background]

LOUDSPEAKER:

Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

RIDDLER:
Intruder alert! Intruder alert!

[Yells] Shut up!

Now, that's impressive!

[Ding]

[Chase screams]

[Fast-paced instrumental music,
