Thankful - Transcripts

Alfred Pennyworth: I've just sent all the files we have on Blockbuster. I hope they're helpful.

Nightwing: *over radio* Thanks so much for the help, Alfred.

Alfred Pennyworth: Please let me know if there's anything else I can do. Things are quiet here at the moment.

Nightwing: *over radio* Enjoy it while you can. There's never a dull moment in the Manor--especially not with Bruce around.

Alfred Pennyworth: Master Bruce isn't here. In fact, most of the family is away from Gotham until next week. Batwing and Azrael have taken charge of operations in Gotham.

Nightwing: *over radio* … Hold on. Are you spending the holiday alone?

Alfred Pennyworth: I'll be alright, Master Dick.

Nightwing: *over radio* Alfred…

Alfred Pennyworth: Please, don't worry about me. Your missions are all important. I'm a call away if you need me.

Nightwing: *over radio* You're important too, Alfred.

-----------------------------------------

Nightwing: I think it's time to make some calls. 

-----------------------------------------

Nightwing: *over radio* Hood--I'll keep it brief. You need to be home in three days.

Red Hood: Um, no, not happening. I'm in the middle of something–

Nightwing: *over radio* We left Penny-One alone for the holiday.

Red Hood: ... I'll call in the Outlaws. We'll wrap this up. Three days. I'll be there. Over and out.

------------------------------------------

Red Robin: What? That's impossible! We wouldn't all have left–

Nightwing: *over radio* We did.

Red Robin: I guess I can speed things up here. I'll have to skip steps 16-25 in my plan, but if I compensate by changing the location of the sting...Hmmm. Yeah, okay. I can make this work. See you soon.

----------------------------------------

Signal: We'll make it back in time, Dick. Promise.

---------------------------------------

Spoiler: You can count on us!

------------------------------------------

Batman: No, I wasn't aware of that but I can't promise anything, Nightwing. This mission is important.

Robin: Father.

Batman: ... We'll be there.

Nightwing: *over radio* Glad to hear it. 

----------------------------------------

Nightwing: Please, please let this work out.

---------------------------------------

Three Days Later

Alfred Pennyworth: *reacts to the doorbell ringing* Who on earth...?

Cassandra Cain/Jason Todd/Duke Thomas: Surprise!

Alfred Pennyworth: What...? How...?

Duke Thomas: The others are right behind us! We'll start getting set up.

Alfred Pennyworth: Did you do this? I told you not to worry…

Dick Grayson: You know, when my parents died, I thought my world was over. You and Bruce gave me a home again--a family. You did that for every person here. We're thankful for you every single day, Alfred. I hope you know that.

Alfred Pennyworth: Thank you, dear boy. I'm thankful for all of you, too.
