Blind as a Bat (1993)

Paul Williams: Penguin

Quotes 

• The Penguin : This is the Penguin speaking. I have taken control of your precious Raven and intend to be paid handsomely for its return. I will contact the mayor's office with the instructions for delivery of the ransom.

  [saving Dr. Lee from gunfire, Bruce is knocked back by an exploding car hood] 

  Bruce Wayne : Aah!

  The Penguin : As of this moment, the most dangerous bird in the sky is the Penguin.

• The Penguin : Your aim appears to be a little off today, Batman. I don't think you can hit the broad side of a barn, let alone the broad side of this bird. You're blind as a bat. Sightless and helpless.

  Batman : [kicking a metal barrel at him]  You got one right.

• The Penguin : Quite a machine, this Raven. Amazing what its communications equipment can do. Don't you agree? You received my instructions?

  Mayor Hamilton Hill : They arrived by messenger this morning. You know, 100 million is a lot of money. It'll take time to raise that much.

  The Penguin : You're stalling, Hill. Obviously, you're not taking me seriously. I warned you not to make that mistake. Apparently, I'll have to show you why.

• Mayor Hamilton Hill : This is Mayor Hamilton Hill with a personal message for the Penguin, wherever you may be tonight. You've won. Just bring the Raven X-111 to the drop site at midnight, and I promise you'll get everything that's coming to you.

  The Penguin : [chuckling in triumph]  You see? I told you they'd knuckle under.

  Eagleton : But, boss, it sounds too easy.

  The Penguin : Relax. With the Raven's instruments, we'll be able to spot a trap a mile away, literally.

  [Eagleton gasps as Penguin ejects the blade of his umbrella sword] 

  The Penguin : And if, in fact, this is a double-cross, may heaven...

  [cutting buttons on Eagleton's shirt off with each word] 

  The Penguin : help... them... all.

• The Penguin : And where do you think you're going? You've hit a dead end, rodent.

  [using his grappling gun, Batman evades Penguin's umbrella sword] 

  The Penguin : You're only prolonging the inevitable.

  [feeling water drip on him, Batman feels for and finds a water pipe; as he opens the valve, water pours out into the lava below, and he uses Penguin's coughing from the steam as an echo-locator] 

  The Penguin : WAAHH!

  [as Batman lands, punches are thrown] 

  The Penguin : Not possible. You're supposed to be helpless. Helpless!
