Alfred pennyworth why do we fall

Alfred Pennyworth : Why do we fall sir? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up. Bruce Wayne : You still haven't given up on me? Alfred Pennyworth : Never. Alfred Pennyworth : Why bats, Master Wayne? Bruce Wayne : Bats frighten me.

It's time my enemies shared my dread. Alfred Pennyworth : What is the point of all those push-ups if you can't even lift a bloody log? Alfred Pennyworth : Are you coming back to Gotham for long, sir?

Bruce Wayne : Have you told anyone I'm coming back? Alfred Pennyworth : Well, I just couldn't figure the legal ramifications of bringing you back from the dead. Bruce Wayne : Dead? Alfred Pennyworth : You've been gone seven years. Bruce Wayne : You had me declared dead? Alfred Pennyworth : Well, actually it was Mr. Earle, he's taking the company public. He wanted to liquidate your majority shareholding.
