Episode Quotes
 
(Terry is called by Bruce Wayne. Terry then packs up his things and leaves.)
Dana: (to Terry) This isn’t normal.
Terry: You have no idea.
 
Derek: (to Inque) Wayne. That performance was just to remind me that he is still breathing… Barely, I might add.
 
Terry: (to Bruce) Is it okay if I get some time to myself tonight?
Bruce: Don’t count on it.
 
(Nelson Nash winks at Dana)
Dana: (to Terry) Is it wrong for me to root for the other team?
Terry: Not under the circumstances.
 
Derek: Why Lucius Junior was vice president when I took over.
Bruce: I know. You fired him.
Derek: Why, yes. Had to make room for the new guard didn’t we?
 
Derek: Come in Bruce. What a pleasant surprise. How have you been holding up?
Bruce: With a cane.
 
Derek: Why, Bruce... you misread me. I don’t worry.
Bruce: I came to say this… Keep your hands off of FoxTeca!
Derek: Pardon me?
Bruce: I may not have the leverage on paper any more, but I do have friends.
 
Terry: (to Bruce) Is there any time of day I get to have a social life?
Bruce: Not in this business.
Terry: You get a real kick out of this, don’t ya?
Bruce: I’m doing my part.
Terry: Which is what again?
 
Terry: (to Bruce) You may be used to dealing with freaks and monsters, but I’m a little new at this! (Looks at the Gray Ghost mask and suit) I don’t even know what half this stuff is.
Bruce: Way before your time.
 
Terry: (about the Batmobile) This is unbearably cool!
Bruce: Remember. Easy gestures. Let the suit do the work.
Terry: (makes the Batmobile go really fast) Woo hoo!
Bruce: Mind not doing that?
Terry: Sorry.
Bruce: You scratch it, no allowance.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
We know why Powers is trying to take down FoxTeca, but we never learned why he fired Lucius Jr. (Powers most likely didn't want Lucius Jr. as vice president because he was loyal to Bruce.)
 
 
Episode References
 
Derek Powers: (to Terry) With your father gone, that would make you the breadwinner...

Derek is referring to the first episode of the series, "Rebirth (1)", in which Terry's father was killed.
 
 
Analysis
 
When Terry crashes through the window, it is the entrance that Batman uses many times, whether it be in the comics, a TV show, or in a movie, this is Batman's most well known entrance.
