Helen Slater: Talia

Off Balance

Talia

Talia: [shoos a rat away from Batman while she tends to his wounds] Filthy creature!
Batman: I've been called worse.

[last lines, Talia makes contact with her father from her plane]
Talia: Vertigo has been dealt with, Father.
Ra's al Ghul: Small wonder you seem so pleased. Then your mission?
Talia: A complete success.
[holds up rifle]
Talia: I secured this just as you asked.
Ra's al Ghul: Then choose a target and test it, daughter. We must be certain it survived its ordeal intact.
[Talia aims the rifle at a mountain, but it short-circuits causing her to drop it]
Talia: The Batman! He sabotaged it somehow!
Ra's al Ghul: So even in defeat, the detective manages to achieve some small measure of victory.
[Ra's ends communication with Talia and turns to face the camera]
Ra's al Ghul: As you said, detective - this is not over.

Talia: [escaping a sonically booby-trapped room] How did you do that?
Batman: Simple. I just kept my eyes closed.
Talia: You what?
Batman: The only way to neutralize the vertigo effect was to rely on my other senses to see us through.
Talia: All right, I am impressed.

Batman: You okay?
Talia: My contact lenses, I lost them when we fell. They counter the distortion effect. Without them, I'm as helpless as you.
Batman: I don't do helpless. Come on, take my hand. I can get us through this.
Talia: How?
Batman: I trusted you, now it's your turn.

Batman: Without Vertigo to lead them, his agents have all fled?
Talia: Yes. The Society of Shadows is no longer what it was.
Batman: Well, I've got to get this back to Gotham City.
Talia: Wait. I can't let you leave like this, not with the drill.
Batman: [seeing she's holding a gun on him] I thought I finally knew which side you were on.
[discreetly placing something in the drill head]
Batman: I should have known better, considering that you knew where everything was in the monastery. How could you have... unless you were one of them?
Talia: [Vertigo's plane pilot drops a rope ladder] I am truly sorry, Batman. It could have been... sweet.
Batman: [watches as Talia makes her getaway] This is not over!
