Final Cut (2000)

Will Friedle: Terry McGinnis, Batman

Quotes 

• [in the Batmobile] 

  Max : Ouch! Could you get your ear out of my eye?

  Batman : I warned you, the Batmobile wasn't built to carry two people.

  Max : All those billions, and you'd think that he could afford a back seat.

• Max : How do you do it?

  Batman : Do what?

  Max : This hero thing.

  Batman : It's easier for me. I got the suit.

  Max : No. How do you save the world... AND NOT TELL ANYBODY?

  Batman : I can tell you. You can tell me. That's why I'm glad you found out... partner.

• Max : Specs on this model say the signal has a range of only two miles.

  Batman : Well, how does that help us find the bomb?

  Max : This is why you should try to pay attention in geometry, McGinnis. Look: he reset the timer once here, where you met him; he was going to meet you at the park, so he would have had to set it there. And he must have set it at least once from the hotel...

  [the radii from the 3 points overlap in only one small area] 

  Max : And voila! Math is once again your friend.

• Batman : Max, it's me. Any luck with Bruce?

  Max : The satcom's down for at least another hour. I got the computer running an automated search just in case.

  Batman : Why? Aren't you at home? Max, what's going on?

  Max : Let's just say I'm doing a little search myself.

  Batman : Tell me you didn't go to his hotel room. This isn't a game, Max. I want you out of there, now!

  Max : Hey, your suit doesn't give you barking rights over me, McGinnis. Besides, as long as you've got your eye on him, I don't see the danger.

  [she gasps as Curare attacks] 

  Batman : Max! What's happening?

• Max : How much time do we have?

  Terry McGinnis : Curare's last sighting puts her at least three hours away. I'm gonna meet Mutro outside his hotel in about half an hour.

  Max : What's the plan?

  Terry McGinnis : He's the bait. When she shows, I'll get in between them. This bomb business could get bad. I'm gonna need your help, Max.

  Max : You know you can count on me, Ter. What do you want me to do?

  Terry McGinnis : You've gotta find a way to contact my partner.

  Max : [disappointed]  Oh.

  Terry McGinnis : You know, I never really told you his name.

  Max : Wait, let me guess. Just a shot in the dark here. Could it be... Bruce Wayne?

  Terry McGinnis : I guess it wasn't very hard to figure out.

  Max : Like, the first day.

• Batman : Curare, listen to me. Mutro planted a bomb. If it goes off, it'll kill thousands, including you. Or don't you care?

  [dodging swipes from her sword] 

  Batman : I'll take that as a no.

• 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.

• Terry McGinnis : Well, that's about two square blocks. If we had a couple of days, we might be able to find the bomb.

  Max : Wait. I've got Mutro's cash card. It'll tell us where he's been spending money in the last few days.

  [scanning it] 

  Max : This is the only location inside the highlighted area. And he's visited it twice. That's gotta be where it is.

  Terry McGinnis : The Gotham Museum of Armaments?

  Max : What better place to hide a weapon than a place that's filled with 'em?

• Batman : [restraining Curare]  Max?

  Max : [showing the disarmed bomb]  Can we go home now?

• Batman : Are you all right?

  Max : Yeah. As soon as she got a good look at me, she backed off. Aren't you gonna yell at me?

  Batman : I figured you already got the message. I gotta get back. You go home and stay there. And one more thing.

  Max : Yeah?

  Batman : Don't call me Terry.

• Max : So, the big guy's in Malaysia?

  Batman : Yep. Taking care of some personal business.

  Max : You do know they've just had a major typhoon in that area.

  Batman : Yeah. No way for him to give me any orders. Now, ain't that a shame?

  Max : Aren't you worried?

  Batman : Believe me, Max, this is not a man you worry about.

  Max : I wasn't talking about him.

  Batman : Hey, I can handle Gotham for a few nights without his help.

  [the Batmobile is fired upon] 

  Batman : Whoa! That almost scratched the paint job.

• Max : [finding Mutro's bomb]  I found it!

  Batman : Can you disarm it?

  Max : If I had some help.

  Batman : [avoiding swipes from Curare's sword]  You're on your own, Max.

• Terry McGinnis : You ever hear the phrase "live by the sword, die by the sword"? Mutro was an assassin. He made his own bed. Besides, we got bigger things to worry about.

  Max : Ohh...

  Terry McGinnis : Feeling guilty isn't gonna help anyone. Come on, Max, what can we do with it?

  Max : [taking the device]  This is a broadband transmitter. It's not gonna help us find the bomb.

  [turning it over, she sees it was developed by Wayne-Powers] 

  Max : Hmm.

  Terry McGinnis : Hmm? "Hmm" is good, right?
