Big Brother - Transcripts

Part One

Tim Drake: I still can't believe they're bringing back the arcade. I'm glad you could make it to the reopening Dick.

Dick Grayson: I wouldn't miss it, Tim. Too many good memories. 

Tim Drake: Yeah, memories of me kicking your butt.

Dick Grayson: And to think, I was gonna take it easy on you. 

Tim Drake: Not sure I would have been able to tell the difference. 

Dick Grayson: Oh, you're gonna regret those words. 

Damian Wayne: Hey, wait. I need a ride to the Natural History Museum. Grayson since you are a fossil, I figured you could take me.

Dick Grayson: What's at the museum?

Damian Wayne: A Xenobiology exhibit. I am supposed to write a paper about it for school. 

Dick Grayson: Maybe we could go tomorrow. We kind of have plans. 

Damian Wayne: It has to be today. I will need time tomorrow to write my paper. 

Dick Grayson: Yeah, I ... Yeah. Okay. I can take you. Tim.

Tim Drake: Don't even start. 

Dick Grayson: I'm really sorry. But it's for his school project.

Tim Drake: I know. I shouldn't have gotten mad. It's fine. 

Dick Grayson: No, it's clearly not. We can go to the arcade another day. I promise. 

Tim Drake: Yeah, until something else comes up that's more important. 

Dick Grayson: What do you mean? 

Tim Drake: When was the last time there wasn't some kind of emergency or interruption? When was the last time you hung out with anyone just for fun without having to rush off to help someone else? 

Dick Grayson: We're vigilantes, Tim. Stuff comes up. You know that. 

Tim Drake: I do know, but I'm not talking about the crime-fighting stuff. I'm talking about the everyday stuff. There's always someone who needs you. You have such a big heart Dick, and we love you for that. I love you for that. But sometimes ...  sometimes I just want to hang out with my big brother without having to fight for his attention.

Dick Grayson: I don't do that. Do I? ... Do I?

Part Two

Jason Todd: I hate to be that guy, but being the angsty one is kind of my thing. So I'm gonna need you to stop now.

Dick Grayson: Not in the mood Jason.

Jason Todd: Is all this brooding still about that thing with Tim? 

Dick Grayson: You heard about that? 

Jason Todd: I may have been eavesdropping on his conversation with Steph last night.

Dick Grayson: Is he right? Do I always go rushing off? 

Jason Todd: I mean ... kind of. 

Dick Grayson: I see. So I guess you're here to give me a talking to, huh?

Jason Todd: Nah, I'm just hiding from Bruce. Didn't even know you'd be out here. 

Dick Grayson: Oh. 

Jason Todd: But now that you mention it, I do have a few thoughts.

Dick Grayson: Fine. Let's hear it. 

Jason Todd: He just wants to spend some time with you. You know. But there's always someone who needs saving and then you're gone again. 

Dick Grayson: Yeah, but what am I supposed to do? Not help people when they ask? 

Jason Todd: Of course not. You've always been a goody two shoes. No one expects you to stop now. But you know it's okay to set boundaries, right? 

Dick Grayson: Boundaries?

Jason Todd: Yeah. You're allowed to carve out time for yourself. There's nothing wrong with that. 

Dick Grayson: But what happens when someone asks for help? 

Jason Todd: They're about 50 people in this family and at the rate Bruce adopts kids, we'll have 100 within the next few weeks. Point is, when someone needs something, it doesn't always have to fall on you to fix it. The rest of us can help too.

Dick Grayson: The rest of us?

Jason Todd: I mean, not me, obviously. I'm super busy. But the others can lend a hand. You already showed us how to be a family. Now we just want you to be a part of it. 
-------------------------------------------------
Dick Grayson: I'm really sorry about the other day. 

Tim Drake: I didn't mean to...  I don't want you to feel bad for helping everyone. I just wanted to spend some time with you.

Dick Grayson: I know. And I'm glad you said something. I'd always rather know the truth about how you're feeling. 

Tim Drake: Same goes for you.

Dick Grayson: So what do you say we finally head over to the arcade? I'm pretty sure I still owe you a butt-kicking. 

Tim Drake: Oh, it's on. 

Dick Grayson: And I promise, no interruptions this time. Unless there's a mass breakout at Arkham or something. We'll probably need to help out with that. But otherwise, no interruptions. 

Tim Drake: Sounds perfect to me.
