Quotes 

• [Theo Galavan asks Bruce Wayne what his one dream would be] 

  Theo Galavan : If you could have one dream come true, what would that be?

  Bruce Wayne : I would find the man who killed my parents.

  Theo Galavan : What would you do if you found him?

  Bruce Wayne : I would kill him.

  Theo Galavan : What a young tiger you are. My dream? I would save this city. I would rid Gotham of corruption, crime and poverty.

  Bruce Wayne : Sounds good. How would you do that?

  Theo Galavan : Oh, I have plans, schemes, ideas aplenty. But... I need help. I need your help.

  Bruce Wayne : Of course.

  Theo Galavan : And perhaps in return, I could help you with your dream.

• [Alfred Pennyworth tells Bruce Wayne that Wayne Enterprise is Bruce Wayne's legacy] 

  Alfred Pennyworth : Wayne Enterprises is not Thomas and Martha Wayne's legacy. That legacy is standing right here. With me.

  Bruce Wayne : [Bruce begins crying in front of Alfred]  Alfred, am I wrong if I just want it all to be over. I just want... I want it to be over.

  Alfred Pennyworth : No, no. No, you're not wrong. Come here.

  Alfred Pennyworth : [Alfred hugs Bruce Wayne]  You're not wrong.

• [Bruce Wayne and Theo Galavan are having a discussion about the machinations of Wayne Enterprises near the fireplace, of Theo's loft] 

  Theo Galavan : Bruce, your family helped build this city. The Wayne name is synonymous with growth, strength and prosperity.It's also a lie.

  Bruce Wayne : Please explain what you mean.

  Theo Galavan : I've been investigating Wayne Enterprises for quite some time. You know what I found? Toxic waste dumps. Illegal weapons contracts. Use of banned chemicals. Nightmarish experiments. It can't continue. Please, understand this isn't about corruption. It's about saving innocent lives.

  Bruce Wayne : You have my word. I will look into all of it. And I will stop whoever's responsible.

  Theo Galavan : No, Bruce, you won't. You can't.

  Bruce Wayne : People often underestimate me.

  Theo Galavan : Wayne Enterprises is a multi-billion-dollar conglomerate, with a board that will kill to protect its secrets. Who's underestimating who?

  Bruce Wayne : Why are you telling me this? You obviously have a solution you want to propose.

  Theo Galavan : [Chuckles]  You control 51% of the voting shares of Wayne Enterprises. If you sell me your shares, I could take control, do what needs to be done. You would be a cash billionaire with freedom.

  Bruce Wayne : You want my company?

  Bruce Wayne : I want to clean up Gotham. Protect its citizens. Return the city to what it was. But I can't do it without your help. Wayne Enterprises is my responsibility. It's all I have left of them.

  Theo Galavan : I'm not just offering you money, Bruce. The night your parents were killed, you weren't supposed to be there, were you? No. Your parents were headed for the theater. Your father changed his mind. Suggested a movie. Invited you along. You got there late.

  Bruce Wayne : Uh, I've never told anybody that.

  Theo Galavan : He was following your father that night. Before the alleyway. I'm a man of considerable resources. Even then, it took some doing. It's why I didn't want to say anything last night. I couldn't confirm it until today. If you sell me your company, I will give you this as a signing gift. This is the name of the man who killed your parents with documentary proof accomplices, motives, why, how and who. I will fix your company, protect your legacy and give you closure. It's what your father would've wanted. And what Gotham desperately needs. I need your answer by the end of the day.
