Efrem Zimbalist Jr.: Alfred Pennyworth

Quotes 

• Alfred Pennyworth : A problem, sir?

  Bruce Wayne : It's not here!

  Alfred Pennyworth : What's not here, sir?

  Bruce Wayne : You know what I'm talking about! The entrance to the Batcave! Why is it sealed up?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Batcave? I'm sorry, I don't...

  Bruce Wayne : That's right, Alfred, the Batcave. It's a big hole in the ground with a big car in it that's all black, remember?

• Bruce Wayne : Alfred, will you do me a favor? It's an odd favor. Would you tell me... about my life? Just humor me, please.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Very well, Master Bruce. Since your father retired, um, you've been head of Wayne Enterprises, though Lucius Fox really runs the business. Not that you aren't capable, of course.

  Bruce Wayne : That's all right, Alfred. Go on, please.

  Alfred Pennyworth : And, um, unless plans have changed since last night, you're to marry Ms. Selina Kyle. You proposed to her last week.

  Bruce Wayne : [more to himself]  No, it's wrong. It's all wrong.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Well, sir, it's a leisurely existence, I admit. But there are worse lives.

• Alfred Pennyworth : Good morning, Master Bruce. Rise and shine, sir.

  Bruce Wayne : I'm lucky to be awake at all. I fell under that trap like an amateur.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Trap, sir?

  Bruce Wayne : How'd I get back here? Robin?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Robin, sir? Eh, a young lady? I thought you and Miss Selina were... pardon me, sir. None of my business.

  Bruce Wayne : If this is a joke, Alfred, it's not funny.

  Alfred Pennyworth : If it's a joke, sir, I assure you it's on me. I've just prepared breakfast. Perhaps morning coffee will clear the cobwebs.

• Bruce Wayne : Have you found that entrance to the Batcave yet, Alfred?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Uh, I'm afraid not, sir.

  Bruce Wayne : Good. 'Cause if you had, then we'd both be nuts.

  Alfred Pennyworth : It's nice to see you in good humor again, Master Bruce.
