Will Friedle: Terry McGinnis, Batman

Quotes 

• Bruce Wayne : These people believe anything they can't explain is magic.

  Terry McGinnis : Naturally, you don't believe in that kind of thing.

  Bruce Wayne : Of course I do. I've seen it all. Demons, witch boys, immortals, zombies. But this thing... I don't know. It just feels so... high school.

• Batman : Okay, Casper. I can't believe I'm saying this, but you want Nelson, you have to go through me.

• Willie Watt : What are you saying? That I snuck out of Juvie and paid the school a visit?

  Terry McGinnis : In a way.

  Willie Watt : [Looks kind of surprised for a second and turns away]  I don't know what you're talking about.

  Terry McGinnis : [sarcastically]  I'm sure.

  [Throws the glass of water at Willie Watt and it stops in mid-air as Willie sees it coming towards him] 

  Terry McGinnis : That incident at the pier. It left you with some kind of psychokinetic ability, didn't it?

  Willie Watt : A gift from my friend, the GoLeM.

• Terry McGinnis : [after Barbara has closed the school]  You're a hero to my people.

  Barbara Gordon : You better be right about this one, kid.

• Guard : Face down, Watt! Hands behind your head! Now!

  [Willie uses his powers to throw a bulky object at them] 

  Guard : Cuff him!

  [he uses his powers again to fight them off] 

  Terry McGinnis : Willie, stop it now or they'll never let you out.

  Willie Watt : [using his powers to throw a table through the ceiling]  You should have stayed out of it, Terry. It would have been better...

  [rising into the air to the hole] 

  Willie Watt : ...for everybody.

• Dana Tan : We're trying to find out who Garrison's girlfriend was before he died and give her the message.

  Terry McGinnis : But you said Blade was the last one in the shower?

  Dana Tan : Yeah. She saw it being written. Oh! You think the message was for Blade?

  Terry McGinnis : First, our so-called ghost tried to kill Nelson. Then it left a love message for Blade. Now, what connects them?

  Dana Tan : They're not connected. They broke up after the thing at the pier. Oh.

  Terry McGinnis : It all fits. The message, Nelson, the shop teacher, the coach. He hated them all. It's no ghost. It's Willie Watt.

• Matt McGinnis : [looking at old pictures of their dad]  Hey, I remember this trip. It was great. You fell in that hornets' nest.

  Terry McGinnis : I remember it, too, but not as fondly as you.

  Matt McGinnis : Dad warned you to watch where you were going. He knew about that kind of stuff.

  Terry McGinnis : See? You do remember him. And he'll never be gone as long as you keep him alive in here...

  [touching Matt's head] 

  Terry McGinnis : ...and in here.

  [indicating his heart] 

  Terry McGinnis : Or is it here?

  Matt McGinnis : [laughing as he gets tickled]  Hey!

  Terry McGinnis : Or here? Or here or here or here. Yeah, there he is. I got him. I got him.

• Willie Watt : It's not the worst place in the world, just kind of boring.

  Terry McGinnis : You've been hitting the weight machines.

  Willie Watt : It helps pass the time, and I found out that I like being strong.

  Terry McGinnis : I'll bet.

  Willie Watt : Besides, with good behavior, I'll be out in less than two months.

  Terry McGinnis : In time for the junior prom.

  Willie Watt : If they'll have the gym repaired in time.

  Terry McGinnis : How'd you know about that?

  Willie Watt : Someone from school told me.

  Terry McGinnis : Who?

  Willie Watt : What is this, McGinnis, 20 Questions?

  Terry McGinnis : The guard said no one ever comes to see you, or calls or writes.

• Bruce Wayne : [after Willie breaks out of juvie]  What did you think was going to happen?

  Terry McGinnis : I don't know. I just had to be sure it was really him. I know, I know. I messed up.

  Bruce Wayne : [loading a tranq gun and tossing it over]  One shot, and he'll be out for hours.

  Terry McGinnis : If he shows up.

  Bruce Wayne : Oh, he'll show. He's drawn to the school. It's an obsession.

  Bruce Wayne : Your area of expertise.

• Guard : Welcome to juvenile hall.

  Terry McGinnis : I've been here before.

• Terry McGinnis : It wanted Nelson. It didn't care about the girls or me, until I tried to help him.

  Bruce Wayne : "It." So now even you believe it's a ghost.

  Terry McGinnis : Everybody else does. The guys have even started to dress like him. And some of the girls are wearing black as a sign of mourning.

  Bruce Wayne : You're not "everybody else."

• Guard : You're here to see Willie?

  Terry McGinnis : Yeah. Why?

  Guard : Nobody ever comes to visit Willie.

  Terry McGinnis : Not even his old man?

  Guard : No one. Not in all the time he's been here. Nobody calls. Nobody writes. It's creepy. But then again, so is Willie. Everyone here is a little afraid of him.

  Terry McGinnis : Afraid? Of Skinny Willie Watt?

• Bruce Wayne : Terry, enough. You should be down at the piers looking for smugglers. Not staking out your high school waiting for petty vandals.

  Batman : Just one more sweep. If I can catch this so-called ghost in the act, I can prove it's all a hoax.

  Bruce Wayne : You've already invested too much time in this.

  Batman : [seeing the electricity in the school going haywire]  And it just paid off.

• Terry McGinnis : Everyone thinks you're a ghost. It's all they talk about.

  Willie Watt : I know. I'm the hero of the school, and that's not half of what I can do.

  Terry McGinnis : Then why not just bust out of here, do what you want?

  Willie Watt : 'Cause everybody would know. In two months, I'll be gone from here. I'll have all this power and a normal life. If you don't trip on me.

  Terry McGinnis : I know how to keep a secret.

  Willie Watt : You better. I know where you live.

• Terry McGinnis : Well, someone finally found a way to get to Coach Fitz.

  Blade : You know what they're saying, don't you? It's the work of the ghost, just like everything else that's been happening around here.

  Terry McGinnis : Ghost?

  Blade : The ghost of Garrison Jacobs, the kid who was killed when they built the east wing.

  Dana Tan : Where have you been the last two weeks, in a cave?

  Terry McGinnis : Uh...
