ALFRED<br />
Mr. Wayne. Does the phrase<br />
"Christmas holiday" hold any<br />
resonance for you?<br />
Bruce laughs. Then grabs an interactive CD on his table-<br />
top and lobs it at Alfred like a frisbee.<br />
BRUCE<br />
Listen to yourself, Alfred. Hassling<br />
me, yesterday, in my car.<br />
Alfred dutifully pops the CD in a player, and hears his<br />
own voice, recorded last night in the Batmobile.<br />
Bruce snaps it off.<br />
ALFRED'S VOICE<br />
What about eating? Sleeping? You<br />
won't be much good to anyone else --<br />
BRUCE<br />
I learned to live <strong>with</strong>out a mother<br />
a long time ago, thanks.<br />
Tense, he turns back to the next article, onscreen.<br />
BRUCE<br />
" ... Circus is back, <strong>with</strong> a freak<br />
show that may not be suitable for<br />
your kids. Featuring a bearded<br />
lady, the world's fattest man, and<br />
an aquatic bird-boy."<br />
He turns to Alfred: what do you make of that? Alfred<br />
shrugs.<br />
ALFRED<br />
Why are you now determined to prove<br />
that this Penguin -- er, Mr. Cobblepot<br />
-- is not what he seems? Must you be<br />
the only lonely "man-beast" in town?<br />
But Bruce is already engrossed in the next article<br />
onscreen.
