"Go away, Brown, Drake is presently asleep."

.

"Impressive."

.

"Thank you, Father, but it is not my credit to take."

.

"I am sorry."

.

"Do you think I do not know that?"

.

"He had no right."

.

"I am sorry."

.

"I do not care what you think."

.

"Tell Grandfather his invitation is not appreciated and will remain void."

.

"How dare you imply my intentions aren't noble!?"

.

"Thank you."

.

"I did not mean it like that."

.

"I appreciate the help."

.

"Perhaps we could do that again."

.

"Forgive me."

.

"I am not your enemy."

.

"Do not leave."

.

"I wish I understood sooner."

.

"I would rather not do it alone."

.

"Touch him and your guts shall meet my sword."

.

"Thank you."

.

"There must have been a mistake, Father. Drake would not have gone AWOL without reason."

.

"I do not hate you."

.

"Forgive me."

.

"If only you would let me assist—"

.

"I did not think you this stupid."

.

"Don't you dare die on me!"

.

"I would have rather been wrong."

.

"Please."

.

"If you refuse to do what is necessary, I will."

.

"Was it worth it?"

.

"Please."

.

"I am not stalking him, Grayson!"

.

"You cannot make me."

.

"How am I at fault? It was Drake's operation."

.

"Thank you."

.

"How come you think me so foolish?"

.

"I apologize."

.

"The League will make a move soon if we do not neutralize their spies."

.

"Then I shall face Grandfather alone."

.

"Why did you save my life?"

.

"I cannot do this."

.

"Why?"

.

"I am in your debt."

.

"It is not unwise to remain cautious. Do not try to teach me how to do my job."

.

"Please?"

.

"I was not aware."

.

"Pennyworth will be pleased to see him."

.

"Of course I sent the invitation. Would he have come otherwise?"

.

"Timothy."

.

"I will see to it tomorrow."

.

"It was not our responsibility to clear that footage."

.

"How dare you insinuate I regret taking what was rightfully mine!?"

.

"No."

.

"He does not know."

.

"You cannot ground me, Todd, I am of age."

.

"What for? It would only be a waste of time."

.

"I never meant—"

.

"Always."

.

"Do not patronize me, Clone."

.

"What are you saying?"

.

"My choices are my own."

.

"How could I make it better? It was my fault."

.

"Forgive me."

.

"I will not settle for anyone inferior, you should know that, Father."

.

"It was my decision to make."

.

"Batman needs a Robin."

.

"Give me a chance."

.

"Your presence at this facility is currently unwelcome. Leave before I make you."

.

"I never took you for a coward."

.

"Please wake up…!"

.

"I will leave if that is your desire."

.

"It is not."

.

"I wish I could make you see—"

.

"Of course it was. Who else did you expect?"

.

"I will protect you."

.

"No."

.

"I beg your pardon? I will not simply 'leave him alone'."

.

"In your dreams."

.

"Please, allow me."

.

"I shall hope it was not disappointing."

.

"My interest alone is sufficient."

.

"Yes."

.

"I thought you hated me."

.

"Stay."

.

"Clearly, I care. What kind of oblivious moron—"

.

"He did what!?"

.

"Move out of my way."

.

"You know nothing about us."

.

"I chose this too!"

.

"I said move. Out. Of my way."

.

"He can't!"

.

"I dare you to stop me."

.

"I am sure it will be alright."

.

"You stupid, stupid man."

.

"Of course I do."

.

"No more."

.

"Never do this to me again."

.

"—I promise."

.

"When you wake up, I will still be here holding your hand."
