Vayger :) You, overfat, miserable money bags! Why don't you watch where you're goin'? You hear that? He needs some manners.

What he really needs, is a bigger boat.

Who are they? -Is this a show? Flight right, charge! Mine's bigger then yours.

-All the money in the world and not an ounce of refinement.

Your jewels, your watches.

Please, be so kind, as to turn them over to us.

And no cheap heroics.

Definitely somethin' wierd going on over there.

People dressed up, like playing cards.

Did you say, playing cards? -Aha.

They travel in your circles? 'M afraid so.

Well, guess I better go introduce myself.

No, please! -Come on.

You'll have another one soon enough.

You won't have to steal for ti.

-Yeah, she earns her's the old fashiond way.

Hey! Time to go, I'd say.

Sorry, love.

This is why, I came back to Gotham.

Who's it going to be? My husband or all these passengers? Everyone! Into the life boat! Everything all right there? Fine.

Perfect.

Except they got away.

We'd better reconvene.

You should know, who you're dealing with.

Be there, when I can.

I'm late for an appointment.

But, I need to talk to you.

Dana, sorry I'm late.

I got stuck in What are you apologizing for? I wasn't expecting you.

But I -How many times has it been now, Terry? After a while, a girls gets the idea.

No.

You got it all wrong! Do I? It's not like I wanna be late.

It's just that I got these responsibilities.

-Sure you do.

Look, if you can't handle it, maybe we should just forget the whole thing.

Terry, I already have forgoten it.

I got this This after school job.

Takes up a lot of my time.

Too much.

Maybe you should ask your boss for more time off.

Not this guy.

Him you don't ask for time off.

So, what kinda after school job is this, anyway? Well, I do errands.

Sort of.

It's kinda hard to describe.

What about you? What were you doing out there? How come you didn't go in? Didn't know anyone.

-New in town? Perpetually.

My parent move around a lot, 'cus of work.

Least you get to se the world.

Yeah, see the world and lose all your friends.

You know, what it's like been uprooted every few weeks? Never quite knowing, what's gonna be happening next? I'm beginning o get an idea, on what that's like.

Two of a kind.

That's what we are.

I'm Mellanie.

Mellanie Walker.

-Terry McGinnis.

What's wrong? -Nothin'.

It's Just kinda quick, that's all.

-With me, it's always been now or never.

-Ever condsider later? How much later? -I could see you tomorrow night.

That'll be great.

-When can I pick you up? Better not.

Why don't we just meet right here tomorrow at midnight? Under the big clock.

I'll be here.

You're late.

Dana again? That's all over now.

Thanks to you and this job.

Don't dramatize.

You two will be back soon enough.

And in the meantime, you've got to figure out, how to stop this g*ng.

I gave 'em a lot more, then they expected.

They're gone.

-They'll be back.

We've got history, they and I.

The Royal Flush Gangs been around a long time.

They're a family.

They bring in new members, sons, daughter, husbands, wifes, as the older ones retire or go to prison.

They think there better, then everyone else.

The Aristocrats of Crime.

You're acting like children.

If you'd been pros, Batman would be dead now.

-We got away with the jewels! What difference does it make? -I'll tell you the difference.

Years ago, when I was your age, he broke up this g*ng for a while.

He outsmarted us.

Humiliated us.

I've been waiting years, to pay him back.

The old revenge game.

But tell me something, sire.

How's that gonna make us any richer? All right.

We've gotta start planning the next one.

Where's Ten? -Right here.

How are you doing? -Just a few more wires.

Be thorough, Ten.

We have all the time in the world.

Yeah, right.

You're sure about this? -Everything they steal, is tied to playing card suites.

And the earliest Europen cards had swords, not spades.

How does the yacht fit in? -It was part of the yacht club.

Ok, alarm's off.

-You're sure.

I'm sure.

Now, can we get this over with.

Hold it right there! All the time in the world.

You don't look so royal now.

All right! Everyone! Hands up! It appears we've been dealt a wild card.

If you value his wellfare, I suggest you not follow.

Looks like a clean get-away.

Think so? Drop him.

-What? You can't do that.

-Of course, I can.

You heard, what I said! Drop him! Sorry, gramps.

Don't ever argue with me again.

My leg! -Come on.

I'll get you to a hospital.

What is it? -Nothing.

Come on, something's bothering you.

I can tell.

-It's my family.

I I think we're gonna be moving again.

How soon? -Real soon.

A month? A week? -I don't wanna think that far ahead.

Live for the moment, you know? Can I see you tomorrow night? Sure.

But, don't you mean tonight? Tonight then.

Same place, same time? Be there.

Late again.

Or early, depending on how you look at it.

How I look at it is, the g*ng's gonna hit again.

And we've only got a few hours, to figure out where.

You're sure, it'll be tonight? You've got somethin' better to do? Yeah, I do.

-This is getting tiresome.

Look, if you had any proof, there gonna try something tonight, it would be different! But I'm not gonna change my plans, because of a hunch.

Batman would.

-Hey, I put my life on the line all the time.

One night's not gonna make any difference! One night always makes the difference! I know what it is.

You can't stand to see anyone going out and havin' a life! You want me to end up like you! Alone.

How many times do I have to tell you! There's no room for mistakes in this bussines! You got to keep focused! -You haven't! What? -This thing you got for Batman, you're making us take stupid risks.

We're gonna get nailed.

-No one disrespects me or this family.

Not for long, anyway.

And if you can't get behind that, you might as well leave.

-Amen to that! Ten! Mellanie! This family's taking good care of us and it's always going to be there.

Why would you want to throw that away? A A boy.

-Love.

Great.

It is.

-Mellanie, men come and go.

Most of 'em cause nothing but trouble.

Something worth it.

But not one is worth the sacrifice, you're about to make.

You don't know this one.

-You didn't see fit to introduce us to him.

That's because you knew, he wouldn't fit in, right? Someday the right one will come along.

One who will fit in.

He'll be your king.

You'll have all the money you want.

All the freedom.

The very finest life can offer.

But only, if you stick with this family.

Well? Mellanie? Terry, I I can't see you tonight.

Somethin' come up? School work? No.

-Then what is it? I I can't see you again.

Ever.

-Why? It just Didn't work out.

I gotta go now.

-Mellanie, there's something wrong, isn't there? Tell me! There's nothing wrong.

Nothing.

Good bye, Terry.

Computer.

Cross reference adress.

Floor plan.

No.

We did it! Cash cards! Plastic gold! Now, I can actually buy some diamants.

What's wrong? You look almost disappointed.

No Batman.

I had a special card, just for him.

-Hey! We had a visitor! -Spread out.

You stay here.

I knew, you wouldn't dsappoint me.

Ten! Come get me! What are you waiting for? -Don't do it.

Just go.

I don't suppose, I could convince you to let me go? Mr.

Wayne.

Those things I said I'm sorry.

This kinda thing ever happened to you? Let me tell you about a woman, named Selina Kyle.
