Alfred: be nice when Wayne Manor’s rebuilt [ri:'bilt]. You can swap [swɒp] not sleeping in a penthouse ['penthaus] for not sleeping in a mansion ['mænʃən]. Whenever you stitch [stitʃ] yourself up, you do make a bloody mess.

Bruce: yeah, it makes me learn from my mistakes.

Alfred: you ought to be pretty knowledgeable by now, then.

Bruce: my armor ['ɑ:mə], I’m carrying too much weight. I need to be… I need to be faster.

Alfred: I’m sure Mr. Fox can oblige [ə'blaidʒ]. Did you get mauled [mɔ:l] by a tiger?

Bruce: it was a dog. It was a big dog. There were more copycats ['kɔpi,kæt] last night, Alfred, with guns.

Alfred: why not hire them, take the weekend off?

Bruce: that wasn't exactly what I had in mind when I said I wanted to inspire [in'spaiə] people.

Alfred: I know. But things have improved.
