- Nostromos: I have one last prediction for you, Ethan. The end will be swift. Brother Lucas has set enough explosives in this place to create a supernova. I suggest you make your peace quickly.
- Nostromos: Peace to all. Brothers and sisters, the negative plane is aligned with the positive, bringing forth astral harmony.
- Bruce Wayne: What?
- Man: The vibrations are right for prophecy.
- Bruce Wayne: Oh. Okay.
- Nostromos: That which you seek and cannot find is the seeker. You are merely the eye trying to view itself.
- Bruce Wayne: This is awfully deep.
- Woman: Shh!
- Nostromos: We are but radios for the cosmic transmitter, tune your receivers, hear the inner voice...
- [Nostromo screams]
- Nostromos: Brother Ethan, the inner voice speaks. Someone here is in grave danger. The messenger of death is searching... crying out for...
- [Points at Bruce Wayne]
- Nostromos: ... You!
- Alfred Pennyworth: But how did the glass break, Sir?
- Batman: [Mystically] Psychic vibrations, Alfred... though I'd bet on a high-frequency sonic device.
- Nostromos: Welcome, Brother Bruce!
- Lisa Clark: No, not Bruce!
- Bruce Wayne: Lisa, you... don't understand.
- Lisa Clark: Oh, I understand, all right. You're like all the rest, suckered in by this money-grubbing, bogus creep!
- Ethan Clark: Lisa!
- Lisa Clark: You know what my inner voice tells me, Nostromos? You've ripped off your last victim!
- Ethan Clark: I'm soo sorry, I...
- Nostromos: Do not apologize. She will believe. They will all believe... after the Great Fall.
- Ethan Clark: I can't believe I was so gullible! But that's what I get for putting my faith in greed.
- Lisa Clark: You weren't the only one, daddy.
- Bruce Wayne: Guilty as charged. As the Bard once said, the fault lies not in the stars, but in ourselves.
- Batman: I lifted Nostromos' fingerprints at the party. There he is. Alias Carl Fowler, professional actor, arrested for petty larceny. Hmm. Otherwise, no criminal record.
- [typing]
- Batman: That's his partner. Lucas. Special effects man. Arrested for fraud. Never convicted.
- Alfred Pennyworth: So they were both in show business.
- Batman: Still are. I just wish I knew where this act was going.
- Ethan Clark: I got your message. I'd have been here sooner, but I've been trying to locate Lisa. She didn't come home last night.
- Nostromos: The Inner Voice assures me she is fine.
- Ethan Clark: Do you know where she is?
- Nostromos: Do not worry. I see you joining her soon.
- Alfred Pennyworth: You gave them $10 million, sir? And to think I was fretting over the electric bill.
- Batman: I had to keep up appearances, Alfred. There must be over $300 million in that fund.
- Alfred Pennyworth: My word! Well, at least Nostromos can't touch it without Mr. Clark's authorization.
- Batman: For now. But I don't need to be psychic to predict that Ethan Clark is about to undergo a spiritual crisis.
- Nostromos: The voices warned that the Brotherhood's fund is in jeopardy.
- Ethan Clark: What do you mean?
- Nostromos: We must convert it into gold bullion at once. I've prepared the papers for your signature.
- Ethan Clark: But... but, Nostromos, I can't possibly sign until I've notified the Brothers.
- Nostromos: There's no time!
- Ethan Clark: But they must be informed. It's our obligation.
- Nostromos: Perhaps the stars can persuade you. I see a bad moon rising.
- [one of the planets hanging from the ceiling revolves, revealing Lisa tied to it]
- Ethan Clark: Lisa!
- Nostromos: Sign!
- Ethan Clark: Nostromos, w-what is this? I-I don't understand.
- Nostromos: Sign! Or she pays!
- Ethan Clark: You know me, Bruce; staid banker, old conservative stock. I'm the last person to act impulsively, but I'm telling you, this fellow is a revelation. You should read this.
- Lisa Clark: Dad, you're not gonna proselytize Bruce.
- Ethan Clark: Now, you hush, Lisa. We're raising a generation of cynics.
- Bruce Wayne: [taking a pamphlet] Nostromos. Yes, I've read about him in the Star Enquirer. Uh... Alfred likes to pick up a copy now and then.
- Ethan Clark: That man saved my life. He warned me not to go on the gambling cruise. Two days out to sea, the ship sank.
- Lisa Clark: A coincidence.
- Ethan Clark: What about the cave-in at the Zandza mine? Or the fires at the Korobi oil field? His predictions saved me a fortune.
- Bruce Wayne: Make a heck of a stockbroker.
- Ethan Clark: Tomorrow, I'm hosting a party in Nostromos' honor. I want you to be there to see for yourself.
- Bruce Wayne: Sounds great. But I'll have to check my horoscope to be sure.
- [In a planetarium, Batman and Lucas are fighting inside a giant model planet]
- Lucas: You're about to fall out of orbit, Batman!
- Bruce Wayne: It wasn't until that moment, when I came so close to death, that I realized you really did have a divine connection. To think I ridiculed you. Can you ever forgive me?
- Nostromos: Of course. I rejoice in your soaring consciousness.
- Ethan Clark: Nostromos... I was thinking, a man of Bruce's standing, his influence... should he not be considered for the Brotherhood?
- Nostromos: Yes. It's preordained.
