Batman Returns Quotes

  • #2
    Maximillian 'Max' Shreck: I wish I could hand out World Peace and Unconditional Love, wrapped in a big bow.
    The Penguin: [Watching from behind the sewer grill] Oh, but you can! Oh, but you will!
  • #3
    Selina Kyle: How can you be so mean to someone so meaningless?
  • #4

  • #6
    The Penguin: [spinning an umbrella with hypnotic swirls painted on] What you hide, I discover. What you put in your toilet, I place on my mantle. Get the picture?
    Maximillian 'Max' Shreck: What is that supposed to do? Hypnotize me?
    The Penguin: No, just give you a splitting headache.
    Maximillian 'Max' Shreck: Well, it's not working.

    [Penguin jerks the umbrella, which fires a shot, and Max jumps]
    The Penguin: Ah, you big baby. Just blanks.

    The Penguin: [to Catwoman] Just the pussy I've been lookin' for!
  • #8
    The Penguin: Actually, this is all just a bad dream. You're at home, in bed, heavily sedated, resting comfortably, dying from the carcinogens you personally spewed in a lifetime of profiteering. Tragic irony or poetic justice, you tell me.

  • #10
    Maximillian 'Max' Shreck: I'd offer you a coffee, but my assistant is using her vacation time.

    Bruce Wayne: [notices Selina's injuries] What happened?
    Maximillian 'Max' Shreck: Did you injure yourself on that ski slope? Is that why you cut short your vacation and came back?
    Selina Kyle: You know, it's... a blur. I-I mean, not complete amnesia. I-I-I - I remember Sister Mary Margaret puking in church and Betsy Riley saying it was morning sickness and I remember the time I forgot to wear my underpants to school and the name of the boy who noticed was Ricky Friedberg. [smile vanishes] He's dead now. But last night: complete blur. Couldn't you just die?
  • #13
    [Catwoman is hit]
    Catwoman: How could you? I'm a woman.
    Batman: I'm sorry, I-I...

    [she hits him]
    Catwoman: As I was saying, I'm a woman and can't be taken for granted. Life's a bitch, now so am I.

    The Penguin: I could really get into this mayor stuff. It's not about power, it's about reaching out to people - touching people - groping people!
  • #15
    The Penguin: Check it out. We're gonna disassemble his Batmobile and turn it into an H-bomb on wheels.

  • #16
    The Penguin: Touring the riot scene. Gravely assessing the devastation. Upstanding mayor stuff.
    Batman: You're not the mayor.
    The Penguin: Things change.
