Lesson Learned - Transcripts

Damian Wayne: Grayson, may I ask you a question?

Dick Grayson: Yeah, of course! What's up, Damian?

Damian Wayne: I reviewed some old case files from when you were Robin, and I noticed an entry stating you were banned from fighting Poison Ivy for a time. Why was that?

Dick Grayson: Oh, it was really nothing exciting. You don't want to hear my old stories.

Damian Wayne: I would, actually.

Dick Grayson: It was so long ago! Who can even remember that far back anyway? Certainly not me!

Damian Wayne: Which is it--the story is boring, or you cannot remember it?

Dick Grayson: Fine, fine! I'll tell you.

============================

16 years ago

Batman: Tread carefully, Robin. We don't know what kind of resistance from Poison Ivy we'll find here.

Poison Ivy: Wise words. You'd be wiser still to turn around and go.

Robin I: Are you asking us to leaf you alone?

Poison Ivy: I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

Batman: You attacked a chemical plant, Ivy.

Poison Ivy: They attacked the Earth first!

Batman: People died, Ivy!

Poison Ivy:  It was them or the planet.

*Robin is distracted by a plant. He pokes at it. It responds by swallowing him.*

Batman: Robin! *Pulls Robin free* Are you all right?

Robin I: *giggles* That tickled!

Batman: Just stay behind me, okay? I can't let this go, Ivy. I have to bring you in.

Poison Ivy: I can't let you do that, Batman ... *Robin has disobeyed orders and is playing with the plant again. As expected the same thing happens*  Do you want to...?

Batman: Yeah, excuse me for a moment. *Frees Robin and pulls him to one side* If you can't follow orders, you can't be in the field, Robin. You know that. We're going to have to have a talk about this later.

Robin I: Aw, man!

==========================

Dick Grayson: And just like that, I was benched, completely unjustified!

Damian Wayne: It is a miracle you survived long enough to meet me, Grayson.

Dick Grayson: Hey!

Damian Wayne: A true miracle.
