Batman: Mask of the Phantasm Page #3

In money matters, you can't

take the future for granted.

But money means little without

loved ones to share it with.

Nothing's more important than family.

Yes, Mr. Beaumont.

- Carl.

- Excuse me, sir...

...a Mr. Valestra is here to see you.

He says he has an appointment...

If he says he has an appointment...

...then he has an appointment.

That's what I like about your pop,

kiddo.

He knows his priorities.

Is my shirt too big,

or is that my flesh crawling?

Mr. Valestra is not what you'd call

a "people person."

No kidding!

That's just Daddy's business.

He deals with everyone.

It's not your father, Andi, it's...

...it's everything!

I said hand over the cashbox, man!

Give me!

- Pops here needs some persuasion.

- Don't hurt me!

- Stay here! I gotta stop this.

- Bruce, don't.

What should I do? Just stand here?

Just come back to me in one piece,

please?

Better have your

insurance paid up, sucker!

Come on! Pick up the box!

Pick up the box!

Thank God you're all right.

I was so frightened!

Let me have a look at you.

Andrea, please!

What am I still doing this for?

It's gotta be one or the other.

I can't have it both ways.

I can't put myself on the line

if someone's waiting for me at home.

Miss Beaumont would be glad to know

you feel that way.

She's holding on line one, sir.

Master Bruce?

Alfred, I can't. Not now.

What shall I say, sir?

I don't know.

I just don't know!

It doesn't mean I don't care anymore.

I don't want to let you down, honest.

But it just doesn't hurt

so bad anymore.

You can understand, can't you?

I can give money to the city

to hire more cops.

Let others take the risk.

It's different now!

Please. I need it to be different now.

I know I made a promise.

But I didn't see this coming!

I didn't count on being happy.

Please...

...tell me that it's okay.

Maybe they already have.

Maybe they sent me.

Get in.

All I want to know is, is it true?

Is the Batman really hitting our people?

We have eyewitnesses.

Beautiful.

That's just beautiful. Why?

He never leaned on us before.

I'm too old for this.

You could demand police protection.

What are you, a comedian?

This is the Batman we're talking about.

A freak job!

He'll crucify me!

Pull over.

It's not very healthy in here.

"O'Neil Funding Corporation."

"Adam's Tool and Die."

I should've known.

Sir?

Chuckie Sol and Buzz Bronski.

They have a history as partners

in dummy corporations...

...set up over 10 years ago.

The third director

was one Salvatore Valestra.

Sal's having company tonight.

Don't wait up.

Meaning, I trust that once you're done

with him, you'll be seeing her?

You think you know everything about me,

don't you?
