1. THE MECHANIC
Copy !req
2. Is he kidding?
Copy !req
3. Maybe he's new in town.
Copy !req
4. —Can't you go any faster?
—I'm flooring it now.
Copy !req
5. Hold on, guys!
Copy !req
6. Looks like Earl's
got his work cut out for him.
Copy !req
7. What happened?
Copy !req
8. You been letting the kid drive again?
Copy !req
9. Actually, we were
playing chicken with a penguin.
Copy !req
10. —Looks like the penguin won.
—The Penguin?
Copy !req
11. Or three of his men, at least.
But they flew the coop.
Copy !req
12. Then I guess you'll be
needing the loaners again.
Copy !req
13. - Well?
—The alignment,
Copy !req
14. the whole suspension, all shot to heck.
Copy !req
15. I'll call you
in a couple of days.
Copy !req
16. Better make it a week.
Copy !req
17. Looks like we're gonna have to order
a whole new drive train.
Copy !req
18. Come on, Robin.
Copy !req
19. Guess we won't be seeing sunlight
for a while, Dad?
Copy !req
20. Once we've got the parts
it ought to go quickly.
Copy !req
21. Better put in the order right now.
Let's see. Twelve—gauge piston pins.
Copy !req
22. These are terrible. Terrible!
Copy !req
23. Come on, boss, give me a break. We got
you the stamps. What more do you want?
Copy !req
24. I wanted the rare ones!
Copy !req
25. The reversed Audubons.
Copy !req
26. These aren't worth enough to pay
for the repairs to the limousine.
Copy !req
27. Give me one good reason why I shouldn't
have Percival here peck out your eyes.
Copy !req
28. - Well, I'm waiting.
—MAN: Here's a reason, boss.
Copy !req
29. If we never banged up the limo,
I'd never have run into my old friend.
Copy !req
30. The one I told you about. Remember?
Copy !req
31. Ah, yes, the one who works for that
auto—parts distributor.
Copy !req
32. Mmm-hmm.
That's me. Rundle. Arnold Rundle.
Copy !req
33. I process custom orders.
Copy !req
34. —Go on, Arnie. Show him.
—Right.
Copy !req
35. This is an order my company
received yesterday.
Copy !req
36. "Titanium-steel wheel wells,
12—gauge piston pins."
Copy !req
37. Very few vehicles use such
unusual material as those.
Copy !req
38. And the point of this is what?
Copy !req
39. I think these parts were ordered
for the Batmobile.
Copy !req
40. Huh?
Copy !req
41. Ah!
Copy !req
42. Tell him why, Arnie.
Copy !req
43. Well, right after I got that order,
Copy !req
44. Falcone told me what happened
to the Batmobile
Copy !req
45. while it was chasing your limo
the other day.
Copy !req
46. From the description, I'd say the kind
of damage the Batmobile sustained
Copy !req
47. might require the kind of
replacement parts in that order.
Copy !req
48. Yes. Yes, I understand.
Copy !req
49. You do?
Copy !req
50. Why, yes. And it's absolutely brilliant.
Copy !req
51. A first-rate piece of detective work.
Copy !req
52. You are to be rewarded, sir.
Copy !req
53. Reward?
Copy !req
54. Would $300,000 be enough?
Copy !req
55. - 300,000?
—Oh, all right, 400,000,
Copy !req
56. but that's my final offer.
Copy !req
57. Don't spend it all in one place.
Copy !req
58. Uh... Excuse me.
Copy !req
59. - I don't get it, boss.
—It's all right here.
Copy !req
60. Our friend, Mr. Rundle, amassed
newspaper reports of various instances
Copy !req
61. when the Batmobile was damaged.
Copy !req
62. Then he checked the dates
against the other times
Copy !req
63. his company got orders
for these types of materials.
Copy !req
64. In every case, it was a match.
The same exact date.
Copy !req
65. Excuse me. Where will this take me?
Copy !req
66. On a sea cruise.
Copy !req
67. Here. Look at these bills of lading.
Copy !req
68. Excuse me!
I'm expected back at the office!
Copy !req
69. All the orders
come from the same repair shop
Copy !req
70. run by a certain Mr. Cooper.
Copy !req
71. Earl Cooper.
Copy !req
72. Earl, my good fellow.
Copy !req
73. I'm afraid the warranty on this vehicle
has just expired.
Copy !req
74. It's just like I figured, boss.
Copy !req
75. The on board computer routes
all the controls through a main switch.
Copy !req
76. Then we're going to pull
a switch on a switch.
Copy !req
77. Now what?
Copy !req
78. The flipping thing
darn near electrocuted me.
Copy !req
79. There's a security device to keep it
from being tampered with.
Copy !req
80. Then disconnect it.
Copy !req
81. I wouldn't even know
where to look for it.
Copy !req
82. Well, I know who does.
Copy !req
83. And he's going to help us,
aren't you, Earl?
Copy !req
84. In your dreams, Pinocchio.
Copy !req
85. And how, pray tell,
did that costumed clown
Copy !req
86. give you such a bad case of loyalty?
Copy !req
87. —None of your business.
—PENGUIN: I'm making it my business.
Copy !req
88. Perhaps you've heard
of my umbrella weapons.
Copy !req
89. Would you like to see
what one can do to your daughter?
Copy !req
90. Don't listen to him, Dad.
Copy !req
91. Okay. Okay.
Copy !req
92. If you must know, I used to be
an engineer at Global Motors...
Copy !req
93. till I predicted one of their new sports
cars would have brake—design problems.
Copy !req
94. But they ignored my warnings
and introduced a new model anyway.
Copy !req
95. But, Cooper, the boys in Legal
say we can't be held accountable.
Copy !req
96. We're talking about people's lives here.
Copy !req
97. Well, thank you for your time.
Copy !req
98. Let it go, Earl.
Copy !req
99. Hey, you've got a bright future here.
Copy !req
100. —Don't blow it.
—
Copy !req
101. He's gonna report it, I know it.
Copy !req
102. Then if our Mr. Cooper
is going to become a liability,
Copy !req
103. I suggest we take steps
to minimize our risk. Hmm?
Copy !req
104. That same night, they sicced
some hired muscle on me.
Copy !req
105. Huh?
Copy !req
106. He saved my butt for sure that day.
Copy !req
107. But long after the Global scandal
was forgotten,
Copy !req
108. I still had a reputation
as a whistle-blower.
Copy !req
109. Twenty years in the business,
Copy !req
110. and I couldn't get work
as a wrench jockey.
Copy !req
111. I was down to my last dime.
No money, no job,
Copy !req
112. and no prospects for one.
Copy !req
113. And then he saved my life again.
Copy !req
114. Huh?
Copy !req
115. I need a new car.
Copy !req
116. It was a challenge of a lifetime.
Copy !req
117. It took me six months
to come up with the design specs alone.
Copy !req
118. Titanium construction,
ablative skin cowling,
Copy !req
119. tri-nitro propulsion units.
Copy !req
120. He paid for everything. Cash.
Copy !req
121. Found this site for a garage, too,
and outfitted it to my specifications
Copy !req
122. and paid me real well.
Copy !req
123. But he got his money's worth.
Copy !req
124. Hmm. He set you up here, huh?
Copy !req
125. Well, now you're going to set him up.
Copy !req
126. Be sure to do exactly as I tell you,
Copy !req
127. or the next person who gets a jolt
out of your security device
Copy !req
128. will be your charming daughter.
Copy !req
129. Yes, Batman, it's ready
any time you wanna pick it up.
Copy !req
130. He's on his way.
Copy !req
131. And we will be ready for him.
Copy !req
132. Won't we, Earl?
Copy !req
133. All right, gentlemen, battle stations.
Copy !req
134. The Bat is about to bite...
Copy !req
135. The dust, that is. Put her in the limo.
Copy !req
136. Insurance, just in case
you forget your lines.
Copy !req
137. And do take a good long look
at your friend, the Batman.
Copy !req
138. After all, you'll be saying adieu
to your best customer.
Copy !req
139. —Looks great, Earl.
—BATMAN: Big job, wasn't it?
Copy !req
140. You look tired.
Copy !req
141. Yeah. Well, it took longer
than I figured.
Copy !req
142. See? Haven't even had time
to clean up yet.
Copy !req
143. —Where's Marva?
—EARL: Oh. Down in the basement.
Copy !req
144. Got some cleaning to do down there,
in the basement.
Copy !req
145. By the way, I even fixed
the air—conditioning switch.
Copy !req
146. Uh... Right.
Copy !req
147. You did good, old man.
Copy !req
148. They just left.
Copy !req
149. —What's bugging you?
—He seemed upset.
Copy !req
150. —Something's just not right.
—
Copy !req
151. —The Penguin!
—Hang on.
Copy !req
152. Here they come!
Copy !req
153. —
—
Copy !req
154. What are you doing?
Copy !req
155. Nothing.
We've been sabotaged.
Copy !req
156. Bye-bye, Bats.
Copy !req
157. Man, how did he get control of the car?
Copy !req
158. He got control of Earl.
Come on, we better bail.
Copy !req
159. Stand by to eject.
Copy !req
160. I hate to burst your balloon, Batman,
Copy !req
161. but now it's time for you to go.
Copy !req
162. —
—
Copy !req
163. I got a feeling we're about to take
the hard way down.
Copy !req
164. —Down? The basement!
—Huh?
Copy !req
165. Earl. He kept saying "basement.”
Copy !req
166. It's a racing term. When drivers crash,
Copy !req
167. they say they've gone down
in the basement. He was warning us.
Copy !req
168. The air—conditioning switch.
He said he'd fixed it.
Copy !req
169. Ha!
Copy !req
170. Pity. It was a magnificent vehicle.
Copy !req
171. All right, Earl!
Copy !req
172. Right. Blew him sky-high, huh?
Copy !req
173. —
—
Copy !req
174. Let me down!
Copy !req
175. What are you doing? Let me down!
Copy !req
176. Wait! Hey, boss, behind us!
Copy !req
177. What? It's not possible.
Get us out of here!
Copy !req
178. Get him off us! Lose him!
Copy !req
179. Come on.
Copy !req
180. Let her go, Penguin.
Copy !req
181. Uh—uh.
Copy !req
182. I'm gonna miss this place.
Copy !req
183. Only till you see the new one
I'm setting up for you.
Copy !req
184. But this time I had my backers
Copy !req
185. set up dummy corporations
to order the parts through.
Copy !req
186. So no one can trace you again.
Copy !req
187. Yeah? Wait till you see
the new Batmobile.
Copy !req
188. It's gonna have tritium thrusters,
dual accelerators,
Copy !req
189. fuel-injected turbo boosters.
Copy !req
190. "One bat for you"?
Copy !req
191. English — SDH
