make all the difference.

By the way...

...how's Fred Atkins, your old partner?

Fred?

Fred's actually...

I believe he's on an extended vacation.

He's good.

Good.

Hiya, Max. Remember me?

I'm Fred's hand!

Want to greet any other body parts?

Remember, Max...

...you flush it, I flaunt it.

You know what, Mr. Penguin, sir?

I think, perhaps...

...I could help orchestrate

a "Welcome Home" scenario for you.

Once we're both back home,

perhaps we could help each other.

You won't regret this, Mr. Shreck.

Honey, I'm home!

Oh, I forgot. I'm not married.

Miss Kitty.

Back from more sexual escapades

you refuse to share?

Not that I'd ever pry.

Drink your dinner.

What?

How can anyone be so pathetic?

Yes, to you I seem pathetic,

but I'm a working girl.

Must pay the rent. Maybe if you

chipped in instead of stepping out.

Selina, dear, it's your mother.

Just calling to say hello.

Yeah, but...

But I'm disappointed you're not

coming home for Christmas.

I want to discuss why you insist

on languishing in Gotham City...

...as some lowly secretary.

Lowly assistant.

Selina, about that Christmas getaway

we planned...

I'll be going alone. Dr. Shaw says I need

to be my own person, not an appendage.

Some appendage!

The party never stops

on Selina Kyle's answering machine.

I should've let him win

that last racquetball game.

Hello...

...Selina Kyle.

We're calling to tell you about exciting,

new Gotham Lady perfume.

It makes women feel like women...

and the men have no complaints either.

This is yourself reminding you to come

all the way back to the office...

...if you forgot the Bruce Wayne file...

- You stupid corn dog!

Working late?

I'm just boning up for your Bruce Wayne

meeting in the morning.

I pulled all the files

on the proposed power plant...

...and Mr. Wayne's hoped-for investment.

I even opened the protected files...

How industrious!

How did you open the protected files?

May I ask?

I figured your password was "Geraldo,"

your Chihuahua, and it was.

This is all very interesting,

though a bit on the technical side...

...about how the power plant

is a power plant in name only...

...since, in fact, it's going to be a big,

giant...

...big, giant... capacitor.

And, instead of generating power,

it'll be sucking power from...

...Gotham City...

...and storing it...

...stockpiling it...

...which is a very novel approach, I'd say.

Who'd you say this to?

Nobody.

What did curiosity do to the cat?

I'm no cat.

I'm just an assistant.

A secretary.

And a very good one.

Too good?

Listen...

...it's our secret. Honest.

How can you be so mean

to someone so meaningless?

This power plant...

...is my legacy. It's what I leave behind.
