* **Riddler:** [door opens, door closes, footsteps] Ah... I was hoping you'd be here. Do you have what we agreed on?
* **Catwoman:** Well I do... did you bring the cash?
* **Riddler:** [chuckle] All right here... every bill is accounted for.
* **Catwoman:** I'm a sucker for seeing instead of believing so if you would...
* **Riddler:** [chuckle, tongue clicking] I'm afraid that's not how it works. I at least wanna be sure I'm getting for what I paid for.
* **Catwoman:** [scoff] What don't you trust me? [sigh, rustling, bag unzipping] Here. Took a while to squeeze my way into WayneTech's technical division.
* **Riddler:** Interesting. You'll have to forgive me in asking how'd you get it.
* **Catwoman:** Sorry, it's only my secrets to have... besides you don't see me asking you where you get your hats do you.
* **Riddler:** [sigh] Fair enough... it seems our partnership is coming to an end. Now the briefcase...
* **Catwoman:** I don't think so, you haven't opened your briefcase yet.
* **Riddler:** If you're really that stubborn... [sigh, clatter, latch unlatching, latch unlatching, clatter] all twenty-hundred thousand present and accounted for.
* **Catwoman:** See? [footsteps, clatter] No one has get their teeth kicked in. The flash drive is over there, just as long as you leave he money over there. After that we'll all go our separate ways. Deal...?
* **Riddler:** Fine by me... on three... One... [footsteps] Two... Thre..
* **Catwoman:** [distant grapnel line firing, cape rustling] The hell was tha-...?
* **Batman:** [whack, thud, footsteps] Both of you one the ground now!
* **Catwoman:** Damn it! [whip cracks, whack, whack, cape rustling, claws, extending, whip cracks, whoosh, rapid footsteps, grapnel firing, gasp, thud, pained gasp, grapnel whirring, slash, groan, clatter, clatter, rapid footsteps: 2 instances, tackle, gasp, thuds: 2 instances, struggle, gasp] Well... I gotta give you this Bat you give a helluva chase. [chuckle] Thing is what will you do now that you've caught me, you're welcome to search me if you like.[naughty chuckle] Who knows you might throw me into a vat just liked Red Hood right? or you could take me home... [naughty chuckle] I could make quite the house cat.
* **Batman:** Quiet. [clatter. body being pressed against wall, hand cuffs clinking]
* **Catwoman:** Hmm... handcuffs I had no idea... [naughty chuckle] what else do you have in that belt of yours?
* **Batman:**...
* **Catwoman:** The silent type, eh? [chuckle] I can work with that so my place or yours...?
* **Batman:** I'm sending you to Blackgate.
* **Catwoman:** Or... you could let me go and we could forget all about this.
* **Batman:** Hmm... on your feet. [groan, sigh, footsteps: two instances, beep] PennyOne, I have Catwoman I need a pickup. Be sure the GCPD knows I'm on my way. Same for Nyg- [sigh] Nevermind... it looks like Riddler's search will need to be extended... [footsteps: two instances}
* **Catwoman:** Oh, no... where'd he go? [footsteps: two instances] Looks like we'll have to work together to find him.
* **Batman:** Unless you want a nap I'd suggest you stay quiet... [footsteps: two instances]
* **Catwoman:** I mean... I guess you were too focused playing with me you forgot our friend Nygma had taken the flash drive... [footsteps: two instances] I get why'd you'd be distracted anyway...
* **Batman:** I wouldn't gloat if I were you... you were also distracted that you didn't notice that he had taken both cases.
* **Catwoman:** The hell are you talking about?! [footsteps: two instances, scream, struggle] Batman just... just wait a minute... I can help you... I'm serious he told me where one of his hideouts were... I think in Morris hills... please...
* **Batman:** [scoff, footsteps: two instances] You're telling me what you think will buy you an out...
* **Catwoman:** [footsteps: two instances] I'm being serious! I know where each of them are you have to believe me! He's already scammed me for one night why would I let him do it again?!
* **Batman:** [footsteps: two instances] The address... now.
* **Catwoman:** He'll know if something's wrong... just let me give you the directions but you have to let me come with you. [footsteps: two instances]
* **Batman:** [footsteps: two instances] Whose to say that you won't run as soon as I look away?
* **Catwoman:** I'm being honest... [sigh] if it helps I'll leave the cuffs on the entire time I'll be there the whole time when you catch him scouts honor and everything. Do we have a deal. Wait... why'd we stop?
* **Batman:** Waiting.
* **Catwoman:** For what exactly?
* **Batman:** My ride.
* **Catwoman:** And that being...? [jet engine, tires screeching] Either it's a rocket ship or a plane... it's... a car? Huh kinda lack luster [car breaks] So that's how you usually get across the city I though you used grappling hooks.
* **Batman:** [footsteps: two instances] Slows me down. Besides it's far more useful than hoping off roofs.
* **Catwoman:** So who's driving anyway? Robin or something?
* **Batman:** Controlled from my gauntlet. [click, pneumatic hiss, door open, clatter, footsteps, pneumatic hiss, door open, clatter] PennyOne I have a prisoner... activate the restraint systems in passenger seat.
* **Catwoman:** [chuckle] Ah... a man of luxury I like the leather seats very fancy... wait did you say restraint systems... [mechanical whirring, rapid clanking and clicking, gasp, groan] Yeah... on second though this really all that comfortable.
* **Batman:** [chuckle, click, pneumatic hisses: 2 instances, door close: 2 instances] PennyOne let the GCPD know that we're en route for a drop off. [comms beep] Good I'll let you know when I'm leaving. [car starts up, jet engine starts, tire screeching]
* **Catwoman:** Hang on I though we had a deal! We're were gonna get Riddler!
* **Batman:** I never said that you're coming with me. I meant what I said about taking you to Blackgate.
* **Catwoman:** C'mon! I'm the only one who knows where he's going!
* **Batman:** Who's to say that he's left?
* **Catwoman:** How could you know he might be in New York already.
* **Batman:** No he's not.
* **Catwoman:** He may have had someone sneak him into Metropolis by now
* **Batman:** He isn't.
* **Catwoman:** What if he already is?
* **Batman:** I know he hasn't.
* **Catwoman:** And what exactly makes you think you know all of his moves.
* **Batman:** It's simple really. He hasn't bested me yet. Nygma has a ego to prove himself to everyone that he's bested me.
* **Catwoman:** Men and their egos...
* **Batman:** Unless you want the gag feature I'd suggest you enjoy what little time you have free.
* **Catwoman:** Whoa, whoa... ok I'll be good... just don't make this anymore less uncomfortable than this seat it is already.
* **Batman:** Hmm... if you hold up your end of the deal...
* **Catwoman:** Thanks... just tell me ho'd you figure out where the drop was... [sigh] I mean I know you're a detective and all that but you can't be that good. [silence: 10:2 seconds] Oh for [expletive] sake just tell me how you knew!
* **Batman:** You left and easy path to follow.
* **Catwoman:** Really? [scoff] like hell you can't be that good. I mean... [scoff, giggle] you're good but not that good.
* **Batman:** [scoff] Really? I knew that you spent the last month under a false name to grant access into Wayne's R&D department. I know you spent a couple weeks constantly watching the shifts of the guards and when they leave the floor along with the cameras. When I learned that you had hid a data patch to allow you to sneak in undetected. So I alerted the R&D department ahead of time, and had them replace it with a fake with a tracker which lead me to finding you two on the roof.
* **Catwoman:** [scoff, chuckle] I'll give you that you surprised me with all that. How could you have known that I had gotten into the internship and even if you did know you'd have to know who I am and if I remember right you haven't unmasked me.
* **Batman:** No need. I already know who you are... that night at Falcone's penthouse it took a little digging but I found you eventually.
* **Catwoman:** [scoff] Bull [expletive]... I've meet a lot of people Bats who have a bad poker face and you're one of them even with that cowl.
* Batman: If that's what helps you sleep at night... Miss Kyle. [car brakes] It looks like we've reached your stop... [pneumatic hisses: 2 instances]
* **Catwoman:** Holy [expletive]...
* **Batman:** [footsteps, clatter, footsteps: 2 instances] Just like how you have our secrets I have mine...
* **Catwoman:** [scoff] Damn it... Look can you just keep this between you and me? Can't have Nygma telling people I got played by the Batman... Batman? [five seconds of silence] I guess that's how Gordon feels.
* **Harvey Bullock:** [jet engine, tires screeching, rapid footsteps, guns unholstering] [shouting:] Hands up, Kyle!
* **Catwoman:** How can I-... [sigh] I'm wrapped up boys.
