蝙蝠侠：元年 Batman: Year One Movie Script

Intrigued, SELINA descends to another door that leads to — INT. LOEB'S PRIVATE STUDY - NIGHT SELINA cautiously enters the room.

INT. LIVING ROOM. LOEB'S MANSION - NIGHT Off-duty cops and gangsters party with ESTRADA's exotic looking whores. Drugs in high piles cover silver platters.

ESTRADA talks to FLASS by a lion statue. Beautiful women bear trays with expensive liquor.

LOEB makes his entrance, followed by Mayor NOONE.

LOEB's guests stand as he takes a glass and clinks it.

LOEB:

Gentlemen I've brought a guest with me this evening. Mayor NOONE would like to express his gratitude for the civil way you've all conducted your business these last few years.

Isn't that right mayor?

MAYOR NOONE:

Yes, indeed. I am very grateful for the restraint you've shown by keeping your businesses localized to your own, umm, areas of expertise and I would like to pledge to you all —

LOEB:

(interrupting) All right, fine. Down to business.

LOEB takes a seat in a big leather club chair by the fire.

NOONE looks around for a chair, finds none and wanders over towards the BAR.

But unbeknownst to the party, one more person is in attendance. He's — EXT. OUTSIDE IN THE BUSHES - NIGHT THE BAT-MAN has his contact microphone attached to the window of the living room. He listens intently to the conversation taking place inside - INT. LIVING ROOM. LOEB'S MANSION - NIGHT LOEB holds forth, the center of attention.

LOEB:

Our topic of discussion this

evening:

THE BAT-MAN. A MURMUR goes through the gangsters. While nearby in — INT. LOEB'S STUDY - NIGHT SELINA roots around. She checks out STATUES, lifts CARPETS, tosses the odd GOLD CIGAR CLIPPER into her PILLOW CASE.

INT. LIVING ROOM. LOEB'S MANSION - NIGHT LOEB continues —

LOEB:

Gentlemen I know THE BAT-MAN has caused some problems for our operations. But his activities must be kept in proper perspective. He is an annoyance, nothing more. A temporary fly in a very rich ointment.

先生们，我知道蝙蝠侠给我们的行动带来了一些问题。但他的活动必须保持正确的视角。他是个烦人的人，没什么。一只暂时的苍蝇在非常丰富的软膏中。

GANGSTER #1 Are you CRAZY? Do you know how many of my boys that PSYCHO has hospitalized?

GANGSTER #2 It is absolutely preposterous that you would even think about leaving this nut case to ruin our businesses like this. After what he's done to our OPERATIONS.

Meanwhile, SELINA continues to rifle through — INT. LOEB'S STUDY. LOEB'S MANSION - NIGHT She's made her way into the DESK DRAWER.

She finds CASH, a SILVER PLATED GUN, a SAFE DEPOSIT BOX KEY.

Some PAPERS grab her attention — GORDON'S.

She reads a little bit, finally she just dumps the whole drawer, PAPERS and all, into the PILLOW CASE.

INT. LIVING ROOM. LOEB'S MANSION - NIGHT The arguing continues.

LOEB:

Think of the big picture. Sooner or later, we'll get lucky and someone will put a bullet in this nut.

Until then, the media love him. He gives the impression that the city is getting safer.
