The Power of Fear

Falcone :
You're taller than you look in the tabloids, Mr. Wayne.
No gun? l'm insulted.
You could've just sent a thank-you note.

Millionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne : I didn't come here to thank you.
l came to show you that not everyone in Gotham's afraid of you.
 

Falcone :

Only those who know me, kid.
Look around you.
You'll see two councilmen, a union official,couple off-duty cops... and a judge.


l wouldn't have a second's hesitation of blowing your head off in front of them.


Now, that's power you can't buy.
That's The Power of Fear.

Millionaire Playboy Bruce Wayne :

I'm not afraid of you.
 

Falcone :

Because you think you got nothing to lose.

[ Because he Does Not KNOW Any Better... ]

But you haven't thought it through.

You haven't thought about your lady friend in the DA's office.
 
You haven't thought about your Old Butler. 

Bang!

People from Your World have so much to lose.

Now, you think because your mommy and your daddy got shot, you know about The Ugly Side of Life, but you don't.

You've never tasted desperate.

You're... You're Bruce Wayne,
The Prince of Gotham.

You'd have to go 1000 miles to meet someone who didn't know your name.

So don't come here with your anger, trying to prove something to yourself.

This is a World you'll never understand.
And you always fear...

....what you don't understand.

All right.
Yeah, you got spirit, kid.
l'll give you that.

More than your old man anyway.

In the joint, Chill told me about the night he killed your parents.

He said your father begged for mercy.

Begged.

[ Like a typical Liberal, he most certainly did do that, yes — but what Joe Chill was incapable of comprehending is that Thomas Wayne was not (or rather, not only) pleading for Mercy on behalf of himself  (and his wife, and only son) — but also, for Mercy for  his own murderer... ]
