Fred Stickley Quotes in Batman Forever (1995)

Fred Stickley: Bruce Wayne was right! You demented, bizarre, unethical toad! It is brain manipulation! I'm reporting you to the FCC, the Adverse Experimentation Board, the AMI, and the police! You are going up on charges, and then to prison, and then to a mental institution for the rest of your twisted little life! But first and foremost, Nygma, you are fired! Do you hear me? FIRED!

Bruce Wayne: [Edward extends his had to shake Bruce's] Mister...?

Edward Nygma: Ohhhhh... Bruce Wayne.

Bruce Wayne: No, that's uh, *my* name. And you are?

Edward Nygma: Oh! Nygma. Edward... Edward Nygma. You hired me personally. We've never actually met, but your name is on the hiring slip. I have it.

Bruce Wayne: I'm gonna need that hand back, Ed.

Bruce Wayne: Oh! Yes, of course! I'm sorry. It's just that... you're my idol.

Fred Stickley: Back to work, Edward.

Edward Nygma: [yanks arm away] And *some* people have been trying to keep us apart

Fred Stickley: *Back to work, Edward*!

Bruce Wayne: It's okay. So, Mr. Nygma, what's on your mind?

Edward Nygma: Precisely! What's on all our minds? Brainwaves.

[giggles, running back toward his cubicle]

Edward Nygma: The future of Wayne Enterprises is brainwaves.

Fred Stickley: You'll have to forgive this, Mr. Wayne; I personally terminated this project this morning!

Bruce Wayne: It's okay.

Edward Nygma: [pops out with a high-tech contraption] I have it! Voila! Huh? My invention beams any TV signal directly into the human brain. By stimulating the neurons, manipulating brainwaves if you will, this device makes the viewer feel like they're actually inside the show! Why be brutalized by an uncaring world?

Bruce Wayne: Did you say manipulating brainwaves?

Edward Nygma: Well... uh... yes.

Bruce Wayne: Hmmm.

Edward Nygma: Not that someone like you would need this. Someone so... sophisticated... and intelligent. I just need additional funds and time for human testing. Let me show you, *please!*

Bruce Wayne: Now look, Ed. I'm going to need a full set of technical schematics on this, all right?

Edward Nygma: I want you to know we're gonna be full partners on this Bruce! Look at us! Two of a kind!

Bruce Wayne: You call my assistant Margaret, she'll set something up.

Edward Nygma: [grabs Wayne by the arm] Uhhhhhh... that's not gonna be good for me. I need an answer now. I think I deserve it.

Bruce Wayne: I'm sorry, Ed, then the answer's no. Stimulating neurons... tampering with people's brainwaves... it just raises too many questions. I'm sorry. Thanks, everybody, factory looks great; keep up the good work.

Fred Stickley: All right, everyone. Back to work...

[in Nygma's ear]

Fred Stickley: We'll *discuss this later*!

Edward Nygma: [watching Wayne leave] You were supposed to understand!... I'll *make* you understand.
