Quotes 

• Batman : I'm here to clean your clock, Fugate!

  Temple Fugate : Don't count on it, Batman. When it comes to clocks, I am king. En garde!

• Alfred Pennyworth : Are you quite sure you won't stop for breakfast, Master Bruce? The meals they serve at these fundraisers... hmph, ghastly.

  Bruce Wayne : Alfred, I'm sure Mayor Hill will put out a good spread. He knows you don't kick off a re-election campaign by poisoning your supporters.

• Alfred Pennyworth : [hitting another motorist]  I take it taxi drivers are no longer required to obey traffic signals?

  Cab Driver : Climb off it, geezer. You had the red.

  Bruce Wayne : It's nobody's fault. Look. The traffic signals are malfunctioning.

• Batman : If the creep with the clocks did sabotage the entire traffic system, he had to have come here to do it. Wait here.

  Alfred Pennyworth : My pleasure. This is one of the finest back alleys in all of Gotham.

• Batman : What kind of a saboteur uses a six-thousand dollar Metronex to set a time bomb?

  Alfred : A saboteur with too much money?

• Batman : Stop this, Fugate! Hill committed no crime against you!

  Temple Fugate : He did worse than that! He made me late!

• [while fighting with Batman] 

  Clock King : I've studied news footage of you, and I know that it takes you exactly one-twentieth of a second to throw a punch.

  Batman : Very clever. But it only takes me a thirtieth of a second to do this!

  [He throws a kick that Fugate narrowly evades] 

• [last lines] 

  Commissioner James Gordon : You think we'll see him again?

  Batman : Absolutely. In fact, I'd say it was only a matter of time.

• Batman : What is it about that particular clock tower? He's got more data on it than anything else in the city.

  Alfred Pennyworth : There's been a slight blackout. Just one city block, between Schiff and Robinson, west of Knolldorr.

  Batman : [searching the coordinates]  The location of Gotham Mutual's main branch.

  Alfred Pennyworth : No doubt some malefactors blacked out the bank to disable the locks on the vault.

  Batman : Yes, the time locks.

  Batman , Alfred Pennyworth : Fugate.

• Batman : Most jewelry stores register the serial numbers of the Metronexes they sell. Let's see what the police database turns up.

  [running a search] 

  Batman : Temple Fugate. 362 Brayfogle. Let's go, Alfred.

  Alfred Pennyworth : [arriving at the address]  It appears Mr. Fugate's neighborhood has seen better days.

• Commissioner James Gordon : Do you think Fugate survived the tower's destruction?

  Batman : If I could, he could.
