| abstract | - Thomas Wayne: (Hallucination) You are a disgrace!! Batman: No. You are not my father. I am not a disgrace! I am vengeance. I am the night! I - am - BATMAN!! Persian Messenger: This is blasphemy! This is madness! King Leonidas: Madness?! THIS IS SPARTA!!! (kicks the Persian messenger down the well) Batman: Admiring your handiwork? Penguin: Touring the riot scene. Gravely assessing the devastation. Upstanding mayor stuff. Batman: You're not the mayor. Penguin: Things change. Batman: What do you want? Penguin: Ah, the direct approach. I admire that in a man with a mask! Obi-Wan Kenobi: I have a bad feeling about this. Qui-Gon Jinn: I don't sense anything. Obi-Wan Kenobi: It's not about the mission, Master. It's something... elsewhere. Elusive. Qui-Gon Jinn: Don't center on your anxieties, Obi-Wan. Keep your concentration here and now, where it belongs. Obi-Wan Kenobi: But Master Yoda says I should be mindful of the future. Qui-Gon Jinn: But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Force, my young Padawan. Obi-Wan Kenobi: Yes, Master. How do you think the trade viceroy will deal with the chancellor's demands? Qui-Gon Jinn: These Federation types are cowards. The negotiations will be short. Rachel Dawes: The DA couldn't understand why Faden insisted on making the hearing public. Falcone paid him off to get Chill out in the open. Bruce Wayne: Maybe I should be thanking them. Rachel Dawes: You don't mean that. Bruce Wayne: What if I do Rachel? My parents deserved justice. Rachel Dawes: You're not talking about justice. You're talking about revenge. Bruce Wayne: Sometimes they're the same. Rachel Dawes: No, they're never the same. Justice is about harmony. Revenge is about you making yourself feel better, which is why we have an impartial system. Bruce Wayne: Your system is broken. Rachel Dawes: [Rachel makes a sharp turn] You care about justice? Look beyond your own pain, Bruce. This city is rotting. People talk about the depression as if its history. It's not. Things are worse than ever down here. Falcone floods our streets with crime and drugs creating new Joe Chills everyday. Falcone may've not killed your parents Bruce but he's destroying everything they stood for. [She parks in front of a building] Rachel Dawes: You wanna thank him for that? Here you go. We all know where to find him, as long as he keeps the bad people rich and the good people scared no-one will touch him. Good people like your parents won't stand against injustice, they're gone. Bruce Wayne: I'm not one of your good people Rachel. Rachel Dawes: What do you mean? Bruce Wayne: All these years I wanted to kill him. [reveals the gun] Bruce Wayne: Now I can't. Rachel Dawes: [Rachel slaps him twice] Your father would be ashamed of you. Gambol: So, dead? That's five-hundred. Darth Maul: At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi! At last we will have revenge! Darth Sidious: You have been well trained, my young apprentice! They will be no match for you! Max Shreck: One way to find out. The Penguin: This heat's getting to me... I'll murder you... momentarily. But first... I need a cool drink... of ice... water... acckkuhh... Darth Vader: There is no escape! Don't make me destroy you! Luke, you do not yet realize your importance! You have only begun to discover your power! Join me and I will complete your training! With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy! Luke Skywalker (angrily): I'll never join you! Darth Vader: If you only knew the power of the Dark Side! Obi-Wan never told you what happened to your father! Luke Skywalker: He told me enough! He told me you killed him! Darth Vader: No! I am your father! Luke Skywalker: No! No! That's not true! That's impossible! Darth Vader: Search your feelings! You know it to be true! Luke Skywalker: NOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOO! Darth Vader: Luke, you can destroy the Emperor! He has foreseen this! It is your destiny! Join me and together we can rule the galaxy as father and son! Come with me! It is the only way! Dick Grayson: [while beating up Batman] Bastard! I should've been you! It's your fault! If you had told Two-Face who you were at the circus... They'd still be alive! Batman: If Bruce Wayne could've given his life for your family, he would have. Darth Vader: I saw your ship. What are you doing out here? Padmé Amidala: I was so worried about you. Obi-Wan told me terrible things. Darth Vader: What things? Padmé Amidala: He said you turned to the dark side. That you... killed younglings. Darth Vader: Obi-Wan is trying to turn you against me. Padmé Amidala: He cares about us. Darth Vader: Us? Padmé Amidala: He knows. He wants to help you. Anakin, all I want is your love. Darth Vader: Love won't save you, Padmé. Only my new powers can do that. Padmé Amidala: At what cost? You're a good person, don't do this! Darth Vader: I won't lose you the way I lost my mother. I've become more powerful than any Jedi has ever dreamed of. And I'm doing it for you, to protect you. Padmé Amidala: Come away with me. Help me raise our child. Leave everything else behind while we still can. Darth Vader: Don't you see? We don't have to run away anymore. I have brought peace to the Republic. I am more powerful than the Chancellor, I can overthrow him. And together you and I can rule the galaxy. Make things the way we want them to be. Padmé Amidala: [steps away] I can't believe what I'm hearing. Obi-Wan was right. You've changed. Darth Vader: I don't want to hear any more about Obi-Wan. The Jedi turned against me, don't you turn against me. Padmé Amidala: I don't know you anymore. Anakin, you're breaking my heart. You're going down a path I can't follow. Darth Vader: Because of Obi-Wan? Padmé Amidala: Because of what you've done! What you plan to do. Stop, stop now. Come back. I love you! Darth Vader: [seeing Obi-Wan] LIAR! Padmé Amidala: No! Darth Vader: You're with him! You brought him here to kill me! [begins to choke Padme] Padmé Amidala: No, Anakin-- Obi-Wan Kenobi: Let her go, Anakin! Padmé Amidala: Anakin... Obi-Wan Kenobi: LET HER GO! [Anakin releases Padmé, who collapses] Darth Vader: You turned her against me! Obi-Wan Kenobi: You have done that yourself. Darth Vader: You will not take her from me! Obi-Wan Kenobi: Your anger and your lust for power have already done that. You have allowed this "Dark Lord" to twist your mind until now... until now you have become the very thing you swore to destroy. Darth Vader: Don't lecture me, Obi-Wan. I see through the lies of the Jedi. I do not fear the Dark Side as you do! I have brought peace, freedom, justice and security to my new empire! Obi-Wan Kenobi: Your new empire? Darth Vader: Don't make me kill you... Obi-Wan Kenobi: Anakin, my allegiance is with the Republic... to democracy! Darth Vader: If you're not with me... then you're my enemy! Obi-Wan Kenobi: Only a Sith deals in absolutes. I will do what I must. Darth Vader: You will try. Batman: Excuse me. You ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight? [Punches Joker and knocks him against a bell, before grabbing him] Batman: I'm going to kill you! Joker: You idiot! You made me, remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals. That wasn't easy to get over, and don't think that I didn't try! Batman: [smirks] I know you did. [Punches Joker in the stomach and knocks him through a wall] You killed my parents. Joker: Wha-what? What are you talking about? Batman: I made you and you made me first. Joker: Hey, bat-brain, I was a kid when I killed your parents! I mean, I say you made me, you've gotta say I made you . . . . . see how childish can you get? [puts on a pair of glasses] You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, would you? Huh!? [Batman knocks the Joker over the side] Obi-Wan Kenobi: This time we will do it together. Anakin Skywalker: I was about to say that. Chancellor Palpatine: Get help. You're no match for him, he's a Sith Lord. Obi-Wan Kenobi: [turns and smiles] Chancellor Palpatine, Sith Lords are our speciality. Count Dooku: Your swords, please. We don't want to make a mess of things in front of the Chancellor. Obi-Wan Kenobi: You won't get away this time, Dooku. Count Dooku: I've been looking forward to this. Anakin Skywalker: My powers have doubled since the last time we met, Count. Count Dooku: Good. Twice the pride, double the fall. Robin: Holey rusted metal, Batman! Batman: Huh? Robin: The ground, it's all metal. It's full of holes. You know, holey. Batman: Oh. The Joker: Sometimes I just kill myself. Two-Face: Why yes, of course, you're right, Bruce. Emotion is always the enemy of true justice. Thank you. You've always been a good friend. Vader: [searching for Luke in Palpatine's chamber] You cannot hide forever, Luke. Luke: I will not fight you. Vader: Give yourself to the dark side. It is the only way you can save your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong. Especially for... [pauses] Sister! So, you have a twin sister. Your feelings have now betrayed her too. Obi-Wan was wise to hide her from me. Now his failure is complete. If you will not turn to the dark side, then perhaps she will! Luke: [revealing himself] NEVER! [Luke attacks Vader ferociously, eventually backing him onto a railing and cutting off his arm. He stands over Vader for a moment.] Palpatine: [laughing] Good! Your hate has made you powerful. Now, fulfill your destiny and take your father's place at my side! Luke: [Notices Vader's detached hand is bionic, like his own, has a realization, then turns to face the Emperor, throwing away his lightsaber] Never. I'll never turn to the Dark Side. You have failed, Your Highness. I am a Jedi, like my father before me. Palpatine: [angrily] So be it... Jedi! [Luke refuses to give in to Palpatine's demands and disarms himself.] Palpatine: [raising his hands toward Luke] If you will not be turned, you will be destroyed! [Lightning shoots out of Palpatine's fingers and strikes Luke, causing him to fall to the floor in agony. Darth Vader gets up and stands next to Palpatine, watching.] Palpatine: Young fool. Only now, at the end, do you understand. [shoots another round of lightning into Luke] Your feeble skills are no match for the power of the Dark Side! You have paid the price for your lack of vision! [continues shooting lightning at Luke] Luke: [writhing in agony] Father, please! Palpatine: Now, young Skywalker... you will die! [blasts more and more lightning at Luke; Darth Vader looks back and forth at Luke and Palpatine, finally grabbing Palpatine from behind and throwing him down into the reactor shaft]
