Quotes
-
Batman : Tell me, Alfred: what's an ancient Mayan witch doctor doing on a Gotham skyscraper?
Alfred Pennyworth : This isn't one of those Riddler questions, is it?
-
Bruce Wayne : There's someone new in town using Mayan tribal gimmicks in his crimes; blowguns, stone weapons.
Alfred Pennyworth : [taking the worry men out of Bruce's pocket] Voodoo dolls?
Bruce Wayne : Oh, that's some party favor from Veronica's party. They're supposed to take away your worries while you sleep.
Alfred Pennyworth : Imagine that. What some overworked souls won't do to get a good night's rest.
-
Alfred Pennyworth : As you predicted, sir, the computer has identified this scrap of artificial fur as a type used in theatrical productions, which would make its most probable source of origin...
Batman : The Great Eastern Costume Company. It's been closed for years, making it a perfect hideout for the Mad Hatter.
-
Alfred Pennyworth : Sir, you have no idea how terrible I feel to have played a part in this.
Batman : Neither you nor Veronica could have known that hidden within each doll was a tiny microchip designed to stimulate a sleeper's brain waves and make them susceptible to hypnotic suggestion.
Alfred Pennyworth : Creating a radio receiver of sorts out of an entranced human mind?
Batman : Exactly. And who knows how to warp the human mind better than Jervis Tetch, the Mad Hatter?
-
Bruce Wayne : Tomorrow, this all goes back to the company, minus the cost of a plane ticket home for our kidnapped doll maker.
Alfred Pennyworth : I must say, after all the Hatter put him through, that fellow showed remarkable restraint.
Bruce Wayne : When everything was said and done, all the shaman wanted was to go home. In fact, I hear he even sent the Hatter a farewell gift. Something to ensure that Jervis Tetch only dreams of a good honest life from now on.
