- [footsteps: 2 instances, grapnel lines whirring: 2 instances, click, click, clatter, clatter, capes rustling: 2 instances, footsteps: 2 instances]
- Spoiler: [fabric rustling, sigh, chuckle] Good work back there, Boy Wonder.
- Batman: [scoff, chuckle] Thanks. Not too bad yourself. I like the way you used the tear gas back there. Creative.
- Spoiler: [footsteps, cape rustling] Yeah? You like?
- Batman: Those thugs will think twice before carjacking in Gotham again. That's for sure.
- Spoiler: That was some good stick-work you had back there, too.
- Batman: Was it? I felt off-balance. I feel like my armor isn't fitted on my left side. [armored fabric shifting]
- Spoiler: [armored fabric shifting] Here?
- Batman: No, a little lower...
- Spoiler: [pause, armored fabric shifting] Here?
- Batman: [nervous chuckle] That's a little too low there, Steph...
- Spoiler: Is it? [giggle]
- Batman: Yeah, I said on my side. You're below my utility belt and- [gasp, nervous chuckle]
- Spoiler: Feels pretty stiff in there to me.
- Alfred Pennyworth: [throat clears] Master Tim, I have Oracle on the comms.
- Spoiler: [gasp, stifled giggle, footsteps, cape rustling] [whispered:] Sorry...
- Batman: [nervous chuckle] Patch her in.
- Oracle: Uh... Sorry if I'm interrupting what sounds like some steamy rooftop romancing, but-
- Spoiler: [whispered:] She heard that, too?
- Batman: [whispered:] Oracle's always listening... [throat clears, sigh] Nothing of the sort. What's up, Oracle?
- Oracle: I got a lead on the Joker's location.
- Batman: Already? He just escaped from Arkham three nights ago. He's getting sloppy in his old age.
- Alfred Pennyworth: If that clown is so old, I would hesitate to ask you what you consider me, Master Tim...
- Spoiler: You age well, Al. Like a fine wine... or one of those smelly cheeses.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Yes. There it is. Thank you, Miss Stephanie.
- Spoiler: You're welcome.
- Batman: [sigh] What's the address, Barbara?
- Oracle: It's just three blocks from your location. Sending the coordinates to your HUD now.
- Batman: Huh... You don't think Joker arranged that carjacking to lure us to his location, do you?
- Spoiler: I don't know about that, Tim. I didn't get that impression from those goons.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Before you go, Master Tim. I have another person who wishes to say something to you.
- Batman: Yeah? Who is it?
- Bruce Wayne: Hey, Tim.
- Batman: Hey. What're you doing in the 'cave? You're supposed to be taking it easy. Doctor's orders.
- Spoiler: Yeah, go Webpix and Chill with that pregnant lady friend of yours.
- Bruce Wayne: [flatly:] You kids are funny... No, I am taking it easy. I just wanted to say I appreciate all the extra work you've been doing. That all of you have been doing while I'm mending. It can't be easy to juggle being Batman and leading The Team, and doing all that and still managing to maintain a healthy relationship.
- Batman: [pause] But?
- Bruce Wayne: No buts. Good work, Tim. I'm proud of you. I'm happy for both of you.
- Batman: [nervous chuckle] Thanks, Bruce... That, uh, means a lot. Now go get back to Selina. I got a clown to wrangle. [footsteps, cape rustling, click]
- Spoiler: Wait a sec, Tim... Uh, Bruce?
- Bruce Wayne: Yes, Spoiler?
- Spoiler: Just a minute ago. What did you mean when you said you were "happy" for both of us?
- Oracle: Oh, uh, nothing. He meant nothing. You better go get the Joker now!
- Spoiler: No, I'm serious. What was that about?
- Alfred Pennyworth: [whisper:] He has not got quite that far yet, Master Bruce.
- Bruce Wayne: [whisper:] What do you mean "he hasn't got that far yet"?
- Oracle: Oh, [expletive]! Uh...
- Bruce Wayne: [whisper:] I thought he took the ring on patrol.
- Oracle: There's some weird interference from the Batcave.
- Bruce Wayne: [whisper:] Wasn't that the-? [signal ends]
- Oracle: There, I think I fixed that... [pause] Still there?
- Batman: [sigh] Uh... Can we have a minute, Babs?
- Oracle: Yep. Going silent... for reals.
- Spoiler: [footsteps, cape rustling] Tim?
- Batman: Steph.
- Spoiler: [pause] I'm... [gasp, sniff] Is it raining?
- Batman: No, Steph... [pause, sigh, footsteps, cape rustling] You're crying.
- Spoiler: Why am I crying? [giggle, sniff, sniff, giggle] I'm not sad... [gasp] OMG. I'm totally ruining this, aren't I?
- Batman: [chuckle] No. You're not ruining it, Steph. [sigh, footsteps, cape rustling]
- Spoiler: [scoff, giggle] No. It's ruined! Bruce spilled the beans. [sob, giggle, sob] I'm crying like a baby.
- Batman: No. It's perfect, Steph. [armored fabric shifting, kneeling clatter]
- Spoiler: [gasp, sob, giggle] This is perfect? [gasp, giggle, sniff, sob] How is any of this perfect?
- Batman: Because you're here with me. [utility belt pouch button snap, clatter] Stephanie Mae Brown-
- Spoiler: [excited squeal, gasp, hands slapping mouth] [muffled:] Sorry... Go on?
- Batman: [chuckle] Stephanie Mae Brown, will you make me, Timothy Jackson Drake, the luckiest man alive?
- Spoiler: Oh, hold on. Let me get these damn gloves off. [armored fabric shifting, grunt, teeth clenching, growl, armored fabric shifting, gasp, armored fabric dropped on floor, sigh, clatter, excited squeal] OMG. It fits! Will you look at that, too? It's... It's perfect, Tim! It's so perfect.
- Batman: ... [nervous chuckle] Okay, but can I get an answer here or-?
- Spoiler: Oh, right. What was the question?
- Batman: ...
- Spoiler: [scoff, giggle] Oh, right. Yeah. Ask me again and I'll give you your answer.
- Batman: [nervous chuckle] Okay... Uh, Stephanie Mae Brown, will you make me, Timothy Jackson Drake, the luckiest man alive?
- Spoiler: [giggle] Oh, you're getting lucky.
- Batman: [chuckle] Can I just get a simple "Yes" or "No"?
- Spoiler: No.
- Batman: ...
- Spoiler: [scoff, giggle] No! I meant "No" as in you can't get a simple yes or no! Who am I? I'm Stephanie Brown. I make everything all that more complicated. Don't you know? Why everyone always goes on about the four Robins and then someone has to push up their glasses and go "Um, actually, you're forgetting about the actual fourth Robin..."
- Batman: Steph, please focus. I'm about to have an anxiety attack here.
- Spoiler: [giggle] Yes! Of course the answer is "Yes, Timothy Jackson Drake! I will marry you!" Come here!
- [moist lip smack, moan, kissing, passionate moans, capes rustling: 2 instances, armored fabric shifting]
- Spoiler: Oh, wait... Don't we need to go get the Joker?
- Batman: [pause] Oh, yeah... [armored fabric shifting, cape rustling, footsteps] Rooftop sex later?
- Spoiler: [scoff] Totally! [grapnel lines firing, distant latching] But, let's make sure we turn off comms this time.
