Quotes
-
Bruce Wayne : I got worried when you didn't come back.
Terry McGinnis : Bet you brought one of your old Bat-suits with you.
Bruce Wayne : You'll never know.
-
Dr. David Wheeler : [as Batman listens in with his fingertip microphones] ... easiest thing in the world, being a teenager: you get up, you go to school, you come home, and you do your homework. How do you mess that up? Yet all of you did, in one way or another - and now I have to clean up that mess!
Batman : He's been going on like this for hours, telling them how worthless they are, and how only he can help them. Won't even let 'em go to the bathroom!
Bruce Wayne : Sleep deprivation, endless harangues; it's classic brainwashing. Some cults do it. It's also occasionally used on prisoners of war.
Batman : And Wheeler's doing it to kids.
-
Terry McGinnis : Let me see if I got all this: Jurgen is breaking up with Blade so he can see Chris, but Chris is interested in Eric, who doesn't want to date anybody. Now wait a minute, that doesn't sound like Eric to me.
Max : It's not. You're thinking of the other Eric.
Terry McGinnis : Aw, man, there's two of them now?
Max : See how important these little updates are? Without them, people would start wondering why you don't know what's going on at school anymore.
Terry McGinnis : I should just tell them I'm busy chasing renegade synthoids and living heads.
Max : They wouldn't believe it.
Terry McGinnis : Neither do I.
-
Terry McGinnis : What do we need more evidence for? You taped the feed from my fingertip mikes, didn't you? All you gotta do is take it to the authorities.
Bruce Wayne : And what do I say when they ask me where I got it? A little bat left it on my front porch?
Terry McGinnis : [realizes] Oh. You still got that plastic mini vid-cam? The one you can take through a metal detector?
Bruce Wayne : I've got it, but you're not thinking of...
Terry McGinnis : Some jobs are just too tough for Batman. That's when Terry McGinnis swings into action.
-
Bruce Wayne : I hope you don't think this place was typical.
Terry McGinnis : No. I sure wish we didn't need 'em.
Bruce Wayne : I know.
[putting his hand on Terry's shoulder]
Bruce Wayne : I know.
-
Chelsea : Listen, there's a lot of weird stuff going on here.
Terry McGinnis : I know. Hold on a second.
[takes out his mini-camera and switches it on]
Terry McGinnis : Okay, go.
Chelsea : The sleep thing's just the beginning, Terry. He's trying to break our will, turn us all into little robots. Wheeler's got this thing they call "ISO". Short for "isolation". It's total sense deprivation - no light, no sound. He uses it on the kids who don't get with the program. It... It...
[starts breaking down]
Chelsea : Terry, you've got to get me out of here!
Terry McGinnis : That's gonna happen, Chels. Just as soon as someone I know sees this vid. In the meantime, just try to stay schway for another day or two, okay?
Chelsea : I'll try.
-
Batman : [Sean holds Wheeler over a long drop] No!
Sean : Stay out of this!
Batman : You've made your point! This place is crashed and Wheeler's going to jail!
Sean : I don't care! The only reason I went along with it was cause I was hoping I could get a chance for this!
Batman : Don't you get it? You helped save everyone! You're a hero now!
Sean : A hero?
[laughs cruelly as he drops Wheeler]
-
Terry McGinnis : There's no way out.
Sean : Sure there is.
[opening the other cells]
Sean : All we need is a little distraction.
-
Sean : McGinnis. Come to see me?
Terry McGinnis : 'Fraid not, Sean.
Sean : Don't you wanna talk about the old days? Like, say, that fight we had back in seventh grade? Ah, I remember it real well, Terry. The way you and the others were always laughing at me.
Terry McGinnis : Sean, you're s... I don't have time for this now.
Sean : [throwing him to the floor] I got the time.
-
Terry McGinnis : [listening to Sean in his cell laughing] Hey, shut up.
Sean : Got some news for you, McGinnis. Word is I'm not going to iso alone. No comment, huh?
Terry McGinnis : Maybe neither of us'll have to go.
Sean : Sorry, fool. Wheeler doesn't change his mind.
Terry McGinnis : He won't have to.
Sean : What are you talking about?
Terry McGinnis : Something neither of us has ever been very good at. Cooperation.
Sean : Cooperate? With you?
[he continues laughing]
Terry McGinnis : If I get out of here, there are people I can go to, people who'll shut this place down. But I can't get out unless you help me.
Sean : What do I care if they close the ranch? They'll just put me in some other place.
Terry McGinnis : No! This is your chance to prove they're wrong about you. Maybe your last chance.
-
Dana Tan : [in class] It's getting to be a ghost town in here.
Terry McGinnis : Cold and flu season?
Chelsea : More like Dr. Wheeler and that ranch of his.
Terry McGinnis : All this? Come on, Chels.
Chelsea : Come on, yourself. The parents are scared. They're sending their kids off to therapy by the busload. As if they needed it.
Dana Tan : Sean needed it. Lots and lots of it.
Chelsea : Yeah, but what about Alexa and Jamal? And Adam Stepnik?
Dana Tan : Adam got sent away? But he makes those beautiful paintings.
Chelsea : Except sometimes he uses other people's walls.
Dana Tan : Well, I guess if a kid's parents want him to get therapy, it's not like we can do anything.
Chelsea : Speak for yourself. I'm gonna e-mail the principal. Rattle his cage.
Terry McGinnis : Careful, Chels.
Chelsea : Hey, it's like a letter to the editor. My dad writes 'em all the time.
-
Max : The e-mail must have been the last straw.
Terry McGinnis : I knew her dad had issues with her, but I didn't think...
Max : He probably figured the ranch would straighten her out.
Dana Tan : Straighten her out? How could anyone think Chelsea deserves to be in the same place as a kid like Sean?
Max : I got another one for you. What kind of place would admit a normal kid like Chelsea? Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
Dana Tan : Somebody should look into that ranch.
Max : [pointedly to Terry] Yeah. Somebody.
-
Dr. David Wheeler : Mr. McGinnis, is it? What were you doing back here?
Terry McGinnis : Just looking for a bathroom. That's when he jumped me. We know each other from school. Weren't what you'd call close.
Dr. David Wheeler : Pat him down.
Terry McGinnis : [fighting as a guard searches him] Hey! Hey... uhn! What do you think you're...
Dr. David Wheeler : [the guard hands over his vid-cam] What's this for? Home movies?
[re-playing Chelsea's plea]
Dr. David Wheeler : Whose idea was this?
[Terry refuses to say]
Dr. David Wheeler : Lock him in a room.
Terry McGinnis : [getting dragged away] Hey! Hey, you can't do this. Stop, let go! This whole place is gonna crash when the parents find out about you.
-
Vincent : [breaking up a fight] What do you think you're doing?
Sean : We... we were just talking, that's all.
Vincent : [seeing the blood on his lip] Just talkin', huh?
Sean : He started it.
Terry McGinnis : Liar.
Dr. David Wheeler : I'm afraid I have to agree.
Sean : Dr. Wheeler. You know me. I don't get into fights anymore.
Dr. David Wheeler : Do I know you, Sean? I thought I did. But now I think you were just pretending to go along with the program.
Sean : No, I was into it. Really.
Dr. David Wheeler : Iso, first thing in the morning.
Sean : Iso? You can't!
Dr. David Wheeler : Sorry, Sean. It's time you made some real progress.
Sean : You do this, I'll get you. I swear. I swear!
-
Terry McGinnis : McGinnis. Here to see Chelsea Cunningham.
Vincent : The backpack.
Terry McGinnis : What for?
Vincent : Visitors aren't allowed to bring in anything. Let me put it this way: you don't give me that backpack, you don't get it. What's in there, anyway? Your security blanket?
Terry McGinnis : Something like that.
