Quotes from
Lt. Andy Anderson: In plain English, he didn't know what hit him.
Dr. Malcolm Wells: Oh he knew, but he didn't have time to think about it.
Lizzie Allen: [the wind is banging a shutter against the house] That ain't nothing, just something bumping against the house.
[wind blows a door open and closed]
Lizzie Allen: That's just the wind banging the door, pay no attention to it. Listen to this,
[reads paper]
Lizzie Allen: 'One of his victims who lived for a moment after she was found described the Bat as a man without a face'. Honestly, Miss Gordy, I think that woman was exaggerating.
[a tapestry blows against an open window]
Lizzie Allen: That's just the taphestry at the top of the stairs.
Cornelia van Gorder: I know, I know, I've heard it before on a windy night.
[taphestry clinks a shaking suit of armor]
Cornelia van Gorder: That sounds as if someone were on the stairs, I know there isn't, at least there shouldn't be.
Lizzie Allen: Them's just the noises you hear in any old house on a windy night.
[reads the paper]
Lizzie Allen: It says here that the Bat never leaves no fingerprints.
Cornelia van Gorder: That's understandable, having no face he probably has no fingers either.
Police chief: [on the phone] A police car is outside your house and an officer has reported that there's no sign of a prowler anywhere on the grounds.
Cornelia van Gorder: Well the man's inside now, he's in the hall just outside my bedroom! Have your men break through the kitchen door and search this place from top to bottom!
Police chief: Allright Miss Van Gorder, sit tightly.
Cornelia van Gorder: I will, I have a gun, and I know how to use it!
