Bess Armstrong: Clio

Quotes 

• Clio : But Maxie, please, you know I love you!

  Maxwell 'Maxie' Zeus : Clio? I'm sorry. I... I can't... Thou art no longer fit to be among us!

• Clio : He's not living in the real world anymore. Maybe you can relate to that.

• Clio : The grand jury is building another case, and I can't stop them this time. There are allegations of bribery, extortion, and racketeering, all pointing back to you, Max. Sure, I'm your assistant, but there's only so much I can do on my own. Max? Maxie. Come on, Max, look at me when I'm talking to you.

  Maxwell 'Maxie' Zeus : You bore me with these tales of petty human concerns.

  Clio : You're doing it again, Maxie.

  Maxwell 'Maxie' Zeus : You are Clio, my muse of history. Amuse me with tales of ancient times, when mortals trembled at the name of Zeus.

  Clio : You want a story? I got one. Seems there was this guy named Max who, because he had been lucky so far in the smuggling racket, believed himself to be untouchable, superior, godlike.

  Maxwell 'Maxie' Zeus : There's a cynical edge to your voice I don't appreciate. Know you not I am above mortal constraints of right and wrong?

  Clio : No one is above the law, Max.

  Maxwell 'Maxie' Zeus : I make my own laws.

• Maxwell 'Maxie' Zeus : Welcome, Lord Hades.

  Clio : Be serious, Max. That's Batman.

  Maxwell 'Maxie' Zeus : But Batman is a mere mortal, and what mortal could reach the summit of Mount Olympus and survive? Come, dark brother. Avail yourself of the nectar of the gods.

  Batman : No, thanks.

• Clio : This is as far as I can take you. Now you're on your own.

  [she turns to glance at two people walking by; turning back, she sees he's gone] 

  Clio : Batman?

• Clio : What do you want?

  Batman : The same thing you do: to help Maximillian Zeus.

• Clio : Yup, that's me. Just a lowly muse. Whatever.
