Ed Begley Jr.: Germs

Quotes 

• Germs : My contact on the force says Bell hasn't cracked, so far.

  Roland Daggett : Good. But I'm afraid we still have quite a mess to clean up. Sooner or later, I will take control of Wayne Enterprises. Their marketing operation will instantly give me a distribution network it would take me years to build on my own. 'Til then, my takeover plan will have to be... revised, now that our actor friend Hagen is no longer available to us.

  Germs : Okay, Mr. Daggett, who do you want me to take out now?

  Roland Daggett : I want everything wrapped up by the time I tape that show tonight. We're going to settle the Fox matter once and for all.

  Germs : But... but, Mr. Daggett, he's in a hospital. All those sick people...

  [Daggett glares at him] 

  Germs : Okay, Mr. Daggett.

• [chasing Germs through the hospital, Batman corners him in a storage closet filled with specimen jars] 

  Germs : Let me out of here, please! All these viruses and bacteria! I could be... infected!

  Batman : I know.

  [he advances] 

  Batman : Now... the man who impersonated Bruce Wayne, I want his name.

  Germs : I... I don't know who...

  [Batman takes a jar off the shelf and reads the label] 

  Batman : Crimson fever. Lousy way to go. No cure, you know.

  [He puts the jar on a shelf above Germs's head] 

  Batman : The name, *now*!

  Germs : Okay, okay! It was Hagen! Matt Hagen, the movie actor.

  [Batman punches the wall, causing the jar to teeter on the shelf] 

  Germs : [cringing]  It's the truth, I swear!

  Batman : Then how did he fool Fox? He's good, but no actor, no makeup, is that good.

  Germs : I... I don't know!

  [Batman punches the wall again. The jar teeters closer to the edge] 

  Germs : You're crazy!

  Batman : [cracks his knuckles]  Last chance: talk!

  Germs : Alright! He... had something... something nobody else had. He could...

  [the light is turned on, and a cop enters] 

  Clayface : Nice going Batman! But I'll take it from here.

  [as he enters, the jar tips off the shelf and falls. Germs screams, and Batman catches the jar, revealing the label: "Seawater for Analysis"]
