Gotham Is Beyond Saving (The Dark Knight Rises)

[as Bruce hangs in cell, delirious from the pain in his back, he starts hallucinating]
Ra's Al Ghul: Did you not think I would return, Bruce? Hmm? 
[Bruce looks up and sees Ra's Al Ghul step out from the shadows in front of Bruce]
Ra's Al Ghul: I told you I was immortal.
Bruce Wayne: I watched...I watched you die.
Ra's Al Ghul: Oh, there are many forms of immortality. Once I had a wife. My great love.
[we then see Ra's Al Ghul, sat at the campfire, as seen in Batman Begins]
Ra's Al Ghul: She was taken from me.
Bruce Wayne: You were the mercenary.
[back in the prison cell, Ra's Al Ghul nods his head]
Bruce Wayne: Bane is your child. Your heir.
Ra's Al Ghul: An heir to ensure the League of Shadows fulfills its duty to restore balance as a civilization.
Bruce Wayne: No.
Ra's Al Ghul: You yourself fought the decadence of Gotham for years. With all your strength, all your resources, all your moral authority. And the only victory you could achieve was a lie. Now you understand, Gotham is beyond saving.
Bruce Wayne: No!
Ra's Al Ghul: And must be allowed to die.
Bruce Wayne: No!
[Bruce passes out]
