Batman Beyond (TV Series)

Final Cut (2000)

Tim Curry: Mutro Botha

Quotes 

• Batman : I'm here. Above you.

  Mutro Botha : I don't see you.

  Batman : You're not supposed to.

  [turning off his suit's invisibility booster] 

  Batman : Feel better?

  Mutro Botha : I'll feel a lot better when we're out in the open. I don't like enclosed spaces. Not when I'm the quarry.

• Mutro Botha : When you prevented Curare from killing her target, the punishment for her failure was death. Unfortunately, we underestimated her. She fought back. One by one, she hunted us down. I am the only one left. And you are the only one who can keep me that way.

  Batman : And why should I care to?

  Mutro Botha : Because when she has finished me, she will come after you.

  Batman : Thanks for the warning. I'll be sure to look for your name in the obits.

  Mutro Botha : I thought you might feel that way. So I took the liberty of providing a little incentive. I've planted a bomb in your city. A rather large one. Set to go off unless it receives a properly-guided signal from me every 12 hours.

  [Batman knocks him down and takes it] 

  Mutro Botha : Go ahead. Take it. It won't do you any good. Only I know the codes. I'm not an unreasonable man. You help me defeat Curare, and I'll disarm the bomb. If not, if Curare gets to me first, boom! Gotham experiences a sudden population decline.

• Mutro Botha : [firing on the Batmobile]  No need for violence. I was merely trying to get your attention.

  Batman : You've got it. Who are you?

  Mutro Botha : Mutro Botha, at your service. For a price, of course.

  Batman : Botha. I've heard of you. You're a member of the Society of Assassins.

  Mutro Botha : I *am* the Society of Assassins

  [Batman draws a batarang] 

  Mutro Botha : No need for that. If my mission had been to kill you, you would be dead already. No member of the Society has ever failed.

  Batman : Except one.

  Mutro Botha : Yes, because you stepped in to stop her. In a way, this is all your fault.

• Batman : Mutro, Curare's at the hotel. My friend's there.

  Mutro Botha : Then your friend is already gone.

  Batman : I have to go back!

  Mutro Botha : Fool.

• Mutro Botha : I'm in Gotham.

  Assassin Leader : Have you located the target?

  Mutro Botha : Not yet. It's not easy when you're always looking over your shoulder.

  Assassin Leader : You're letting your fears make you too cautious.

  Mutro Botha : Me? You're the one who's spent the last three months in the air, afraid to land anywhere because she might find you.

  Assassin Leader : She already got to Carima.

  Mutro Botha : No!

  Assassin Leader : In Lisbon, three days ago. We're the only two left.

• Mutro Botha : Batman, come in. I can't stay hidden forever. Batman!

  [hearing a rustle of bushes, he takes out a gun and fires; a ninja star knocks the gun out of his hand] 

  Mutro Botha : [disarming her as she attacks]  Lesson number one, Curare: always hold onto your weapon.
