Dr. Marcia Cates:
Bruce, you remember Jervis Tetch.

Dr. Jervis Tetch:
[shaking Bruce's hand] H-hello.

Bruce Wayne:
Of course. I read your proposal on using microchips to enhance the brain's potential. Sounds intriguing.

Dr. Jervis Tetch:
Actually, the prototype isn't quite ready yet.

Dr. Marcia Cates:
Tetch, I think we owe our founder and employer, Mr. Wayne a little more than lame excuses.

Dr. Jervis Tetch:
Sorry.

Bruce Wayne:
That's all right, Dr. Cates. Mr. Tetch is a valued member of our research team. I'm sure we can spare him more time.

Dr. Jervis Tetch:
As you say, Bruce.

Dr. Jervis Tetch:
Thank you.

Dr. Marcia Cates:
[to Tetch after Bruce leaves] You got off easy this time, Tetch. But heads could roll if you slip up again.
