LeVar Burton: Hayden Sloane

Quotes 

• The Mad Hatter : Oh, frabjous day! Calooh! Callay! He chortled in his joy. It's sheer brilliance! A wonderland of treasures, all willingly donated by Gotham's simpering elite. Ah, and now come the famous Vreeland jewels to dance at my heels.

  [seeing his henchmen empty-handed] 

  The Mad Hatter : What? How dare you return empty-handed!

  Hatter Hentchman : Forgive us, sir, but Batman showed up, and...

  The Mad Hatter : Batman? You insufferable fools! You can't even handle one man dressed up like a flying mouse?

  [throwing his top hat on the ground and stomping on it] 

  The Mad Hatter : Oh, and what's this? What's this? You've graciously left part of your cloak behind as Batman's invitation to waltz right into our midst! Bah!

  [picking his hat up and straightening it] 

  The Mad Hatter : And that's just what he'll do, won't he? Of course he will. And far be it from me to disappoint him when he arrives.

• Hayden Sloane : The securities business has been kind of rough lately. Lot of late hours, you know. It seems all I do is worry about how to get my company through one more day.

  Veronica Vreeland : Worries, Hayden? I have the cure for that.

  Hayden Sloane : [she shows him a worry man]  I'm a little old for dolls, don't you think?

  Veronica Vreeland : Not these dolls. They're worry men from Central America. Legends say you tell them your problems, then put them under your pillow at night. They'll do your worrying for you while you sleep. And when you wake up, poof! Your problems are gone.

  Bruce Wayne : Oh, come on, Ronnie. You're the last one I'd think would fall for some ancient tribal hoodoo.

  Veronica Vreeland : Don't be so smug, Brucie. When I was in the jungle, I saw some things you'd never believe.
