- The Riddler: You may not believe in Minotaurs, either, but you'll still have to answer the riddle.
- Minotaur: I have millions of eyes, yet I live in darkness. I have millions of ears, yet only four lobes. I have no muscles, yet I rule two hemispheres. What am I?
- Batman: That's simple: the human brain.
- [the Minotaur robot shuts down]
- Batman: It has millions of visual and auditory nerves, four lobes, two hemispheres, and it's the only thing Edward Nygma respects.
- The Riddler: A lucky guess, that's all, but it won't save you, Batman!
- [last lines]
- Dick Grayson: But that creep Mockridge got to pocket a cool ten mil from the buyout. What a burn!
- Bruce Wayne: Maybe. But we've searched everywhere for the Riddler, and he's still out there.
- [Mockridge is shown, shivering with fear, locking five separate deadbolts on his front door, then tip-toeing to his bedroom, carrying a shotgun]
- Bruce Wayne: [voice-over] Mockridge may have his money, but he won't be sleeping well at night.
- [Still shivering, Mockridge looks nervously under the bed, then puts down his shotgun and climbs into bed. He turns out the light and lies awake, staring at the ceiling]
- Bruce Wayne: [voice-over] How much is a good night's sleep worth? Now there's a riddle for you.
- [as a thug climbs over a table to get Robin, Robin yanks away the tablecloth, dumping the thug on his head]
- Robin: I love that trick, but I can never make it work.
- The Riddler: Well, well, well, Bat-something-or-other, isn't it? Who invited you? Do you know what happens to gate crashers? They have to match wits with the Riddler.
- [as Batman and Robin enter the "Riddle of the Minotaur" maze]
- The Riddler: But remember: you'll have to answer the riddle of the Minotaur, too.
- Batman: I can hardly wait.
- [to Robin]
- Batman: How far did you say you'd gotten in the game?
- Robin: Gee, I'm not sure. Maybe halfway?
- Batman: Already I love this.
- Batman: I'll find Mockridge if I have to tear this place apart, Nygma.
- The Riddler: I doubt it, I made sure the perils are quite lethal. You have eight minutes, gentlemen, then Mockridge becomes the only good corporate shark: a dead one.
- Robin: We've gotta use one of these keys.
- Batman: Yes, but which one? And why are they labeled A, C, and D?
- Robin: Don't look at me.
- Batman: Let's try D.
- Robin: [as he does so, two circular blades fly towards them] Look out!
- [they barely manage to stay out of the way]
- Robin: Try another one.
- Batman: Okay. "A" this time.
- Robin: No, wait! Turn that key, and there'll be three blades.
- Batman: But how do you...
- Robin: It's the "C" key. Trust me.
- [turning the key, the door opens]
- Robin: It's a musical puzzle. The key of D has two sharps. The key of A has three.
- Batman: But the key of C has no sharps.
- Edward Nygma: [finding his office locked] What's the meaning of this?
- Daniel Mockridge: What does it look like, Eddie? You're out of here. You're history. You're fired. Comprende?
- Edward Nygma: Have you lost what passes for your mind? You can't afford to do without me, Mockridge.
- Daniel Mockridge: I can if you're gonna sue me for royalties.
- Edward Nygma: I created the Riddle of the Minotaur game. This company is making millions from my genius.
- Daniel Mockridge: Competitron's software success didn't come from the product, Nygma. Competitron is a corporate attitude. Its strength is in the boardroom, the deal, the contract; specifically, the work-for-hire contract you signed.
- Edward Nygma: You are a fool, Mockridge, to think you can get away with this. Your amoral greed is no match for an intellect like mine.
- Dick Grayson: I guess the mayor's happy about this.
- Bruce Wayne: Bringing in $5.5 million a year in new jobs will do that.
- Batman: Doesn't Mockridge own a club downtown called the Wasteland?
- Dick Grayson: The Wasteland! Oh!
- Batman: Right. The Wasteland.
- Dick Grayson: I mean in the game. It's a dead end, see?
- Batman: Come on. Daniel Mockridge is walking into a trap.
- The Riddler: Well done, Batman. But have you wits enough to save two people at the same time?
- [firing something out of his cane, which entraps Robin]
- The Riddler: It's my own variation on the Chinese finger puzzle.
- [after Batman re-wires the Hand of Fate to fly over the maze to the center]
- The Riddler: That is grand-scale cheating, Batman! You're not allowed to tamper with the Hand of Fate!
- Batman: I don't believe in fate!
- Robin: [after Batman is swept away by the Hand of Fate] Batman, where are you?
- The Riddler: Forget it, kid. I "handed" him his walking papers.
- Batman: Where's Mockridge?
- The Riddler: In the center of the maze, along with the minotaur robot. I've programmed it to destroy him at exactly 4:30 a.m. Which gives you less than ten minutes to run the maze and find him. But first, throw down your utility belts. It'll be more... interesting that way, don't you think?
- Robin: What did you mean a joke on his name? You know who he is?
- Batman: I figured the creator of the minotaur game was behind this the minute I saw that billboard. I read all about him in the company records I examined. His name's Nygma. Edward Nygma.
- Robin: I get it. E. Nygma. Meaning a puzzle or riddle. An enigma. At least we know who we're looking for.
- Daniel Mockridge: So I've made sure that Competitron owns all rights to Riddle of the Minotaur, free and clear. Considering all the licensing and merchandising... oh, well, heck, we just built a Minotaur amusement park outside the city. And if we'd had to pay royalties on all that to the creator...
- Bruce Wayne: You can stop pitching, Mockridge. I want this deal so I can move Competitron to Gotham. This city desperately needs the jobs it'll create.
- Batman: "When is the minotaur's owner as high as an elephant's eye?"
- Robin: Hmm... well, Mockridge owns the Minotaur, but what's as high as an elephant's eye?
- Batman: Corn.
- Robin: Corn?
- [he's thrust back into his seat as the Batmobile begins moving]
- Batman: From an old song lyric before your time.
- Robin: So, what's he's saying? "When Mockridge is corny"? "When Mockridge is in the corn"?
- Batman: What's another word meaning corn?
- Robin: Uh, k-kernel? Cob?
- Batman: Maize. "When Mockridge is in the maize"!
- Robin: The maze at the amusement park!
- Batman: Exactly.
- The Riddler: Decode that message all by yourself, Mockridge, or did you have help?
- Daniel Mockridge: You're trespassing, Nygma. Get out. You can't kill this deal. I'm selling out to Wayne, and there's nothing you can do to stop me.
- The Riddler: Of course there isn't. You don't understand. I have a proposition for you.
- Daniel Mockridge: You've come up with a new game?
- The Riddler: [holding up a set of Chinese linking rings] This? No, this puzzle is far more than any mere game. Wouldn't you agree? Or do you need to try it yourself? Solve it. Then we'll talk.
- Daniel Mockridge: Oh, for crying out loud.
- [trying, his frustration building]
- Daniel Mockridge: What is this, some kind of extortion scheme?
- The Riddler: You think I want money? Not anymore. What I want now... is you.
