“No—I’m done taking orders.”

    When have you ever listened to me?

                         ( it takes a moment for it register.                             it comes as a surprise, mostly.                more of an "... oh" moment than anything for dick. )

     I want a sentient Batmobile now.

     [ He can’t entirely tell whether or not there’s lenses covering his eyes, so he settle with cutting the skin of his jaw with the characteristic precision he possesses, the end of the tooth cutting along the line of his mouth. ]

    ( He winces a bit at the pain as the tooth drops. It's interesting and a shame at the very same time -- this man could be doing some great work if not for his villainy. )

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen you smile on the TV! I like it!

    ( To be completely honest, that was always more of Bruce's thing: not smiling. )

      Don't beat yourself up about it.

"Hey bats. Ya know, I gotta admit, it’s still strange calling you that."

     Heh, yeah. Someone's gotta do it.

    Well, we're operating in the Batbunker now. Unless you want to see Oracle?

    I love you.

    Of course you do.
