will we be needing an ambulance, master wayne?
very good, sir.
took quite a fall, didn't we?
and why do we fall, master bruce?
so that we might better learn to pick ourselves up.
i thought i'd prepare a little supper.
very well.
master bruce?
oh, no, no, no-
no, no, master bruce. nothing you did. nothing anyone ever did can excuse that man.
it's his, and his alone. do you understand?
so do i, master bruce. so do i.
well, sir, the red line.  well, it's closed. apparently mr.earle thought it wasn't making enough money.
oh.  successful.
will you be heading back to princeton tomorrow or could i persuade you to spend an extra night or two?
you don't like it there?
i've prepared the master bedroom.
with all due respect, sir, your father is dead. wayne manor is your house.
this house, master wayne, has sheltered six generations of the wayne family, and stood patiently by while you've cavorted in and out of a dozen private schools and colleges. as have i.
the wayne family legacy is not so easily shrugged off.
master wayne.  i was at your father's side when you were born. and at your side when he was laid to rest.
your father was a great man. but i have every confidence that you will exceed his greatness.
never.
are you going away after the hearing?
wayne residence.
master wayne. it's been some time.
and where are we, sir?
am i to assume that you're without money and passport?
i believe there's an airstrip at khatmandu long enough for a g5. make your way there, i'll have the jet down in fifteen hours.
yes, sir?
i thought you might like to surprise a few people.
you sound like a man with purpose.
what symbol, sir?
a blessed bat gain, sir.
they nest somewhere on the grounds.
they still run a token service out of respect for your father.
shall i park, sir?
oh, charming.
at least you'll have company.
must be the lowest foundations of the southeast wing.
during the civil war your great- grandfather was involved with the underground railroad. secretly transporting freed slaves to the north. i suspect these caverns came in handy.
i can see it very well from here, thank-you, sir.
if we order the main part of this.  . cowl from singapore-
indeed. then quite separately, place an order through a chinese manufacturer for these-
precisely. of course, they'll have to be large orders to avoid suspicion.
say, ten thousand.
problems with the graphite mixture, apparently. the next ten thousand will be up to specifications.
quite. in the meantime, might i suggest, sir, that you try to avoid landing on your head?
why the design, master wayne?
and why the symbol of the bat?
bats, maybe.  but even for billionaire playboys, 3 o'clock is pushing it. the price of leading a double life, i fear.
your theatrics made an impression.
if those are to be the first of many injuries.  it would be wise to find
a suitable excuse. polo, for instance.
strange injuries, a nonexistent social life.  these things beg the question of what, exactly, bruce wayne does with his time. and his money.
drive sports cars, date movie stars.  buy things that aren't for sale.
who knows, master wayne- if you start pretending to have fun, you might even have a little by accident.
two days. it's your birthday.
i dread to think, sir, what would've happened if you'd had a lungful.
i took a blood sample and sent it to a laboratory known discreet both discreet.  . and prompt bloodwork.
shall i contact wayne pharmaceutical?
but master wayne, the guests will be arriving.
very good, sir.
a little the worse for wear, i'm afraid.
i sincerely hope you're not from the fire department.
master wayne! master wayne!!
sir, whatever is the point of all those push-ups if you can't even-
the wayne legacy is more than bricks and mortar, sir.
and why do we fall, sir?
so that we might better learn to pick ourselves up.
never.
just the way it was, sir?
i thought we might take the opportunity of making some improvements to the foundation.
precisely, sir.
