Quotes 

• Batman : [after Mad Stan throws him into a wall and he lands on his back on the ground]  For this, I'm missing a date?

• Mad Stan : [after he sets his last charge and pulls out his detonator]  BLOW IT ALL UP!

  [Batman throws a batarang at the wire between the detonator and the suit, cutting it, then knocks him to the floor with a punch, then pins him and pulls one of his arms behind his back] 

  Batman : Keep it down, Stan. We're in a library.

  Mad Stan : You think this is a joke? Look around, Batman! Society's crumbling! And do you know why?

  Batman : Too many overdue books?

  [pulls out handcuffs and puts them on one of his wrists] 

  Mad Stan : Information overload, man!

  [Grabs Batman by the neck with his ankles and flips him off his back to the floor] 

  Mad Stan : As a society we're drowning in a quagmire of vid-clips, e-mail, and sound bytes!

  [Puts him in an arm lock] 

  Mad Stan : We can't absorb it all! There's only one sane solution:

  [puts a bomb with a 10 second timer on the side of Batman's face] 

  Mad Stan : BLOW IT UP!

  [Swings him around and flings him a distance, Batman wrenches the bomb off his face and tosses it away before it detonates and he braces himself from the impact on one of the walls] 

• Terry McGinnis : [after Batman rescues Dana, Terry shows up at the site]  Hey there.

  Dana Tan : Terry?

  Terry McGinnis : Better late than never. If only I'd been there I could've...

  Dana Tan : Shut up, McGinnis.

  [throws herself into his arms] 

  Dana Tan : Just shut up.

  [they stand in silence for a moment] 

  Terry McGinnis : Come on. Let me take you home.

• Terry McGinnis : [getting a call from Bruce]  Please let it be a wrong number.

• Terry McGinnis : Hi. I didn't expect to hear from you.

  Dana Tan : Flowers can change a girl's mind.

  Terry McGinnis : What?

  Dana Tan : We should talk. Meet me at Rhino's?

  Terry McGinnis : Wild Jokerz couldn't keep me away.

  Dana Tan : Make sure they don't. I'll be wearing that dress you like.

  Terry McGinnis : Whoa.

  Matt McGinnis : [poking his head in]  Terry and Dana sittin' in a tree. K-I... . ahh!

  [he shuts the door as Terry throws his shoe] 

• Terry McGinnis , Matt McGinnis : [hearing Terry's phone ring]  Got it.

  Matt McGinnis : [picking up]  Hello?

  [taunting sing-song] 

  Matt McGinnis : It's Dana.

  [getting thrown out by the scruff of his shirt] 

  Matt McGinnis : Hey!

  Terry McGinnis : Beat it, twip.

• Terry McGinnis : I've been looking all over for you.

  Dana Tan : Look somewhere else. As far as you're concerned, I'm not here.

  Chelsea , Max : Ooh.

  Terry McGinnis : Listen, I'm sorry. Mr. Wayne needed me again last night. I... I don't blame you for being mad.

  Dana Tan : Mad? Ter, I am way beyond mad. I've tried to be patient.

  Terry McGinnis : And you've been great. You've always been there for me.

  Dana Tan : So what do I get in return? Broken dates, broken promises. You care more about your dumb job than you do about me.

  Terry McGinnis : Dana, I have responsibilities now. My mom and brother depend on me. What do you want?

  Dana Tan : Someone who occasionally will be there for me.

  Terry McGinnis : [trying to follow as she leaves]  Dana, wait.

  Chelsea : Uh-uh. Girl time.

  Max : Too bad you can't tell Dana what you've really been doing at night.

• Mr. Tan : Where is she, McGinnis? Where's my daughter?

  Terry McGinnis : Dana? I-I don't know.

  Mr. Tan : She was supposed to be with you last night, but she never came home.

  Terry McGinnis : She didn't? Mr. Tan, you gotta believe me. I have no idea...

  Mr. Tan : McGinnis, I warned her you were nothing but trouble. If anything's happened to her, I swear I'll be back.

• Batman : Rats!

  Bruce Wayne : You lost them?

  Batman : [spotting a dropped chili container]  Maybe not. Extra spicy, just the way Dana likes it.

  Bruce Wayne : [he sees a grate to the sewers]  You're going in?

  Batman : I have to.

  Bruce Wayne : Stay sharp. Who knows what else you'll find?

• Bruce Wayne : Terry, you're needed.

  Terry McGinnis : Right now? I'm on my way to meet Dana. Can't it wait?

  Bruce Wayne : No. Mad Stan's out again.

  Terry McGinnis : Great. What's his gripe this time?

• Dana Tan : [Batman shows up to rescue Dana]  Batman. How did you-?

  Batman : Never mind that. Stay behind me.

  [the giant rats pounce on Batman, but he throws them off. One of them hits the shelves, sending them toppling over] 

  Rat Boy : My collection!

  [to the rats] 

  Rat Boy : Get em'.

  [one of the giant rats pounces on Batman, knocking over the barrel of fire. Dana picks up a nearby hockey stick and teddy bear] 

  Dana Tan : Get back!

  [she kicks away one of the rats and runs over to the fallen barrel. She attaches the teddy bear to the hockey stick and sets it on fire. She uses it to wave back the rats. She runs over to Batman, who's being overwhelmed by two giant rats. She jabs them with the flaming hockey stick causing them to run off, saving Batman]
