Batman, Season 3

Dr. Cassandra:
I intend to succeed where my foremothers failed.

Cabala:
Four mothers?

Dr. Cassandra:
The ancient alchemy bit has been handed down for generations through the females of my family. All abject failures. Nowheres-ville!

Cabala:
Yeah, just like my family. They couldn't wait for the Depression, they went broke during the boom.

Dr. Cassandra:
My great-grandmother discovered how to transmute base metals into gold. But she cut out when she added CH3, CH2, H2, and NO2.

Cabala:
Put them all together, they spell T-N-T.

Dr. Cassandra:
They found pieces of her as far away as Londinium.

Cabala:
Man, that was a trip.

Dr. Cassandra:
Now Grandma perfected a universal solvent, fell in the stuff and was universally dissolved.

Cabala:
Wow.

Dr. Cassandra:
We buried her in a thimble.

Cabala:
Well, how about dear ol' Mommy-O?

Dr. Cassandra:
Ah, dear ol' Mommy-O cashed in when she perfected a perpetual motion machine, tripped... and was ground to bits by it.

Cabala:
Man, you sure come from a long line of winnners, baby.
