Will Friedle: Terry McGinnis, Batman

Quotes 

• Terry McGinnis : [to Bruce]  I guess you're the expert on troubled kids. You collect them, right?

• Terry McGinnis : [seeing the label on the suit he's borrowing]  Who's D.G.?

• Terry McGinnis : Then Batman tied Dr. Billings up and disappeared.

  Barbara Gordon : And you're Mr. Wayne's new assistant?

  [he nods] 

  Barbara Gordon : Your father was Warren McGinnis?

  [he nods again] 

  Barbara Gordon : Stay out of trouble, kid.

• Batman : [confronting Spellbinder outside Wayne Manor]  It's over, Billings. I know who you are.

  Spellbinder : I'm glad that makes you feel superior.

• Batman : I don't get you, Doctor. You're supposed to be helping kids. How could you take advantage of them?

  Spellbinder : Ahh, you wanna be my therapist, is that it? Then here. Get to know me.

• Terry McGinnis : Thought you were against this wedding?

  Jared Tate : I was, until my new stepdad bought me a car.

  Terry McGinnis : [indicating Jared's mother's necklace]  Those rocks from the groom, too? Guy must be loaded.

  Jared Tate : Way to go, ma.

• Terry McGinnis : I don't buy it. I mean, Chelsea's flaky, but she's not stupid. She's not gonna make up some goofy guy with a magic eyeball. It's too crazy not to be true.

  Bruce Wayne : Leave it alone. She's just a troubled kid lashing out at daddy. Nothing for you to get involved with.

• Bruce Wayne : The vid link captured that flash of light just before your little vacation, so I took a closer look. Somehow, this information was fed directly into your brain, where it then played back before your eyes.

  Terry McGinnis : I swear I could smell the water.

  Bruce Wayne : With such advanced technology, and his knowledge of the human psyche, this madman should be considered very deadly.

• Terry McGinnis : [surprised to see Commissioner Gordon at school]  What's that about?

  Jared Tate : Gotta be Chels. You didn't hear about her zoning out on her old man last night? She bugged and tossed some pricey swag of his in the river.

• Bruce Wayne : Terry, listen to my voice. Whatever you're seeing, it isn't real.

  Batman : [Spellbinder hits him with a tree branch]  That sure felt real.

• Terry McGinnis : You don't seem very excited. Your mom's wedding? Big bash, lots of food, then you get the house to yourself for three weeks.

  Jared Tate : Whatever.

  Terry McGinnis : You don't like the guy?

  Jared Tate : My mom goes through husbands like popcorn. I don't bother to get attached.

  Terry McGinnis : Yikes..

• Terry McGinnis : You wanted to see me?

  Dr. Ira Billings : Mr. McGinnis, come in. No big deal. I know the past few months have been rough, with your father passing and you moving back in with your mom. I wanted to see how you were doing.

  Terry McGinnis : Uh-huh. I'm fine. That it?

  Dr. Ira Billings : I don't bite, Terry. Have a seat.

  [Terry reluctantly enters the office] 

  Dr. Ira Billings : I hear you're working part-time for an actual billionaire. That must be exciting. Tell me all about it.

• Bruce Wayne : All of Spellbinder's victims had one thing in common: Dr. Ira Billings.

  Terry McGinnis : Both Chelsea and Jared were seeing him.

  Bruce Wayne : And so was Cary Deakins, the auction manager's son.

  Terry McGinnis : So, Billings found out which families had access to valuables by speaking with the kids at school. But that means he'd be...

  Bruce Wayne : [turning on a monitor]  Out there now, waiting for you.

  Terry McGinnis : [pulling out his Batsuit]  Well, you know how I hate to disappoint.
