Dr. Hugo Strange
- The Joker: Why, Hugo, why didn't you tell us about your fear of flying?
- Dr. Hugo Strange: Joker, please! I was set up! Bruce Wayne is Batman!
- Two-Face: That's absurd! I know Bruce Wayne. If he's Batman, I'm the King of England!
- The Joker: And people say I'm crazy!
- Bruce Wayne: I don't have much to say about my childhood.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: Is there some past tragedy you do not wish to acknowledge?
- [watching Bruce's memories]
- Dr. Hugo Strange: Perhaps the loss of your parents? Were they taken from you by violence?
- Bruce Wayne: What happened to my parents is no secret.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: But no one knows that you feel it was your fault. Yes?
- Bruce Wayne: I was only a child. There was nothing I could do.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: But you wanted to do something. You were filled with anger. You desired... what? A need filled you; all-consuming, all-controlling. What was it, Mr. Wayne? What was it?
- Bruce Wayne: [struggling against the machine] I... wanted...
- Dr. Hugo Strange: [seeing his memories of bats] Yes?
- Bruce Wayne: Revenge!
- Bruce Wayne: Are you sure this will help me relax, Doc?
- Dr. Hugo Strange: But of course. My radiopathic monitoring device is infallible. It works by lowering your defenses.
- Bruce Wayne: What defenses might those be?
- Dr. Hugo Strange: The defenses we create to hide the truth from ourselves and others. For when we do this, we create stress. Is it not so?
- Bruce Wayne: Some secrets are worth keeping.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: If you feel so, there must be considerable stress in your life. So, maybe we should start with your childhood, yes?
- The Penguin: Gentlemen, it behooves us not to fight amongst ourselves.
- The Joker: Well put, sardine breath. I think we should pool our resources on this.
- [pooling all their money together]
- The Joker: $51,240,685...
- [taking out a change purse]
- The Joker: ....and... 53 cents.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: Sold! And now, I give you Batman's secret identity, and after the show, you shall meet its star.
- The Joker: [waiting for the tape to start] Focus, focus, foooocus!
- Dr. Hugo Strange: [the tape begins] It's a perfect plan. With this machine, I can imagine Batman to be anyone I choose, and these fools will pay a fortune for it!
- [stopping the tape]
- Dr. Hugo Strange: Wait! It's not the right tape!
- The Penguin: [shooting it with his umbrella] Fellow miscreants, we've been had!
- The Joker: I'm going to use your head as a bowling ball, Strange.
- Bruce Wayne: Your relaxation therapy doesn't seem to be working too well on me, Dr. Strange.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: The first session is ofttimes traumatic. We will continue tomorrow, yes?
- Bruce Wayne: I'll have to think about it. Good day, Doc.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: [ejecting the tape as Bruce leaves] And good day to you... Batman.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: Joker, I swear, it was the wrong tape!
- The Joker: You're telling me? Come on, Hugo. Time to fly the unfriendly skies.
- Commissioner James Gordon: Maria told me everything when she woke up in the hospital.
- Batman: The dock fire was an accident. She had nothing to fear from the truth.
- Dr. Hugo Strange: But you do, Batman. Soon the whole world will know that you are really Bruce Wayne. You created that tape in the theater by imagining me saying those lies, but the tape of your thoughts is the truth! I know your secret.
- Bruce Wayne: [approaching] What secret is that?
- Dr. Hugo Strange: No! It is impossible.
- Batman: Strange, I knew from the start your machine could read minds. That's why I asked Bruce Wayne to help me expose you.
- Bruce Wayne: And I was glad to do it. Maria Vargas is a friend of mine.
- Commissioner James Gordon: [leading Strange away] Let's go. You'll have lots of time to think about it in prison.
