ALFRED Everything's fine, thank you.We'll talk in an hour.
PENGUIN Try his mag card.
FRICK Look at this.He's a pillhead.
VICKI What did you do to him??
SELINA First-time jitters, I guess.Everything was going great, and then...he just went limp as a noodle. Drawn by the commotion, ALFRED rushes down the stairs to the entry hall, pulling a robe around him.He freezes in his tracks when he sees FRICK dragging VICKI into the front parlor, holding a gun to her head.
PENGUIN You'd be the butler.Why don't you come on down and attend to your guests?
ALFRED Mr. Wayne.Is he -- ?
PENGUIN You know how it is.Some guys just can't hold their egg nog. The PENGUIN marches ALFRED in where the rest of the gang's already assembled.FRICK throws VICKI down roughly on a sofa just next to the Christmas tree while the GOONS drag BRUCE inside.
PENGUIN I should explain the occasion of our visit.There's a treasure underneath this house -- and I don't plan to leave until you tell me how to find it.Now who's going to talk -- Miss Vale?
VICKI I don't know what you're talking about.
PENGUIN The cave.Under the house.How do I get there? VICKI (cont.) I don't know!I swear, I would tell you --
PENGUIN (turning to ALFRED) Then maybe you'd like to tell me.
ALFRED You're no more than a common thief.
PENGUIN Wrong, you old idiot.I happen to be a very uncommon thief. (beat) Are you going to tell me, or does Miss Vale get an early present this year?
ALFRED I...don't...know...
PENGUIN Then go ahead, Mr. Frick...decorate the tree.
SELINA Wait! (crossing over to VICKI) We don't know how to get down there yet. We may need her when Bruce wakes up. SELINA (cont.) Besides -- I want this one for myself.So pretty...I'm going to give her a brand new face for Christmas.
PENGUIN Why don't you two tie up our host?
PENGUIN It's all so plush and tasteful, isn't it? Just the sort of setting in which I've always imagined myself. PENGUIN (cont.) I see.You think I'm vulgar.You think I'm...nouveau.
ALFRED I think you're a dirty little man with a --
PENGUIN See, boys, that's old money talking. After a while, they actually start to believe they've earned all this. (smirking) I don't mind.Someday I'll be old money too -- when the statute of limitations runs out.
SELINA (O.S.) Hey!-- Guess what I just found. SELINA (cont.) Christmas cookies!
PENGUIN Let's spread out and see what we can find. (to FRICK and FRACK) You two -- keep an eye on our friends here.Give me a yell the minute Wayne comes to. -- and in a quick CLOSEUP we see his EYES OPEN -- his hands STRUGGLING against his bonds. QUICK GLIMPSES of the intruders enacting their depredations as they search for the entrance to the cave.SELINA and the PENGUIN are flinging open doors, moving clocks, looking for secret panels; as they go, they systematically TEAR THE HOUSE APART -- smashing BRUCE's possessions, ripping paintings out of frames, etc.
FRICK Better check it out. FRICK (cont.) What is it?What's going on??
FRACK Some kind of security system -- DICK's gotten BRUCE free -- but BRUCE, still under the effects of the drug, isn't much use.He tries to get off the sofa and crumples in a heap.
DICK Can you move, man?
BRUCE Library -- got to get me to the library --
PENGUIN What is that ungodly racket?
FRACK A security alarm.It went off in the kitchen.
PENGUIN My God!Is someone in here?
BRUCE Alfred...
DICK I'll go back.
BRUCE I can't...get down there...without you.
PENGUIN What an extraordinarily stupid thing to do.
VICKI SHUT UP.Help me with him.
PENGUIN You and I had better check the ground floor and see what's going on.Mr. Frick -- do you think you'll be able to manage this pair?
FRICK Yes sir.
PENGUIN Oh, good.That does relieve my mind --
BRUCE -- as soon as he gets to the East wing. Wait for my signal.You know what to do.
ALFRED Thank you, Master Dick.And...bravo. VICKI has made it to the wall phone.She can't seem to get a dial tone --
VOICE FROM BEHIND Do you really think we're that stupid? SELINA (cont.) I tawt I taw a puddy tat...!!
SELINA You know, I've got a great recipe for Sliced Bitch -- VICKI sweeps her arm across the countertop, showering SELINA with knives and appliances.It buys her enough time to make for the door -- but SELINA comes flying after her.Another downswipe with the claws -- but VICKI shoves a BUTCHER'S BLOCK into SELINA's path, and her TALONS wedge a half-inch deep in the wood.
SELINA I love a good old-fashioned catfight -- but this is pissing me off.
SELINA HERE, kitty kitty kitty...HERE, kitty kitty...
SELINA So this is where you earn your keep.
SELINA Not so loud, honey!The neighbors'll get the wrong idea. (laughing) Santa's coming.Time for all good girls to go to sleep... -- as a BLACK-GLOVED HAND grabs a fistful of her hair --
BATMAN Miss me, "Angel"?
SELINA Okay -- let's do it, huh?You and me... all the way this time. She gets to her feet, limping, and darts around a corner. BATMAN marches implacably down the stairs, taking his time... VICKI rushes out of the bedroom.She looks down the hall and sees FRACK flying out of the guest room, UPSIDE DOWN -- slamming into the wall opposite.He slumps to the carpet, out cold.
VICKI Come on.We'll be safe in the cave. BATMAN PAUSES outside the door to the armory, which is slightly ajar.He pushes it in cautiously...
VICKI Come on.Come with us.
DICK No.I can still help... The PENGUIN flattens against the wall as DICK sprints out of the library and heads off in the opposite direction.There's a flabbergasted look on his face -- he recognizes this kid.
PENGUIN Such primitive entertainment.
PENGUIN The Gotham City Treasury.It's about to be stolen twice.
ALFRED Don't be absurd. You'll never be able to get it out of here.
PENGUIN Oh, I'll manage somehow.You two are my guarantee of that. (nudging VICKI with the gun) Let's have a look, shall we?You go first.
BATMAN It's over.I don't want to hurt you any more.
SELINA Tell me something -- one thing.If you don't enjoy all this...why do you do it? SELINA (cont.) I'll never understand men.
CATWOMAN I can't move.I can't move. CATWOMAN (cont.) DON'T LOOK AT ME!! (pleading) Do me, baby...do me now...that's what I want.Please?
BATMAN No.
CATWOMAN COME ON.Don't stop now.FINISH ME OFF. (almost weeping with pain) Son of a bitch.You're all alike... He reaches for his belt, extracts a GLASSINE CAPSULE, and breaks it open with his thumb.He drops it amid the shattered glass around her face.A tiny cloud of GREEN GAS plumes out, and her hand falls limply at her side as she lapses into unconsciousness.
DICK You should've done it, man.You should've killed her.
BATMAN There's a radio in the cave.We'll send for help. The PENGUIN and VICKI are on a catwalk just below the ROCK FORMATION.A STONE OUTCROPPING extends toward the catwalk, and he forces her to JUMP FOR IT.Now he has to follow; the prospect makes him nervous, but it's a short hop, and he clears it okay -- finding his footing on the rocky slope.
PENGUIN Ah, the illustrious Mr. Wayne.Look at you now.Whatever would your friends say? (smiling) You've been an exceptionally congenial host -- but I must ask you to back off. CLOSEUP - BATMAN'S HAND ANGLE ON ROCKS - PENGUIN AND VICKI
PENGUIN No sudden moves.It's a long way down. HIS POV - INSIDE THE GROTTO
BATMAN VICKI! With BATS screaming all around her, VICKI takes a deep breath and VAULTS toward the CATWALK.She's a foot short; she grabs hold of the railing and HANGS THERE, over the ABYSS, trying to pull herself up.BATMAN races toward her --
GORDON ...and then Batman showed up?
BRUCE He saved all our lives, Jim.I can't say for sure, but I'd bet she's the one behind the murders.
GORDON God -- I pray you're right. (beat) One thing before we go, Bruce.Who's the kid?
BRUCE Oh, that's Vicki's little cousin.He's in town for the holidays.
GORDON Well, he picked a hell of a time to visit. (turning to go) Merry Christmas, Bruce.Good luck cleaning this place up.
VICKI What are you going to do with all that gold?
BRUCE I dunno.Might be a good start on a place to live -- for some people who don't have one.
VICKI It's Christmas.
BRUCE Yeah.Maybe you should -- open your present.
VICKI Oh, Bruce, presents doesn't matter.None of it matters.We're all safe.We're together.
BRUCE ...You might as well.
