SPEAK OF THE DEVIL

Here is all of Bane’s dialogue from ‘The Dark Knight Rises.’ Keep in mind that this is all from memory, with prompting from the official screenplay which does differ in many parts from the final movie version. For example, I haven’t included Bane’s reading of Gordon’s confessional letter because the screenplay version differs significantly from the film version and Icouldn’t remember enough of it on my own to do it justice. I think I got everything else though, so I hope this can be of some use to people looking to relive Bane’s epic dialogue.

CIA Agent: A lot of loyality for a hired gun!
Bane: Or perhaps he was wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
CIA Agent: At least you can talk. Who are you?
Bane: It doesn’t matter whowe are. What matters is our plan. No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.
CIA Agent (talking about Bane’s mask): If I pull this off, will you die?
Bane: It would be extremely painful…
CIA Agent: You’re a big guy.
Bane: … for you.
CIA Agent: Was getting caught part of your plan?
Bane: Of course. Dr Pavel refused our offer in favour of yours. We had to find out what he told you.
CIAAgent: Well, congratulations, you got yourself caught. What’s the next step of your master plan?
Bane: Crashing this plane… with no survivors!

Bane: No! They expect one of us in the wreckage, brother!
Mercenary: Have we started a fire?
Bane: Yes. The fire rises.

Bane: Calm down, Doctor. Now is not the time for fear… that comes later.

Bane: Why are you here?
Thug: Answer him!
Bane: Iwas asking you.
Thug: It’s the Police Commissoner.
Bane: And you brought him down here?
Thug: We didn’t know what to do. We -
Bane: You panicked. And your weakness has cost three lives.
Thus: No, he’s alone.
Bane: Search him. Then I will kill you.
(Gordon escapes…)
Thug: He’s dead.
Bane: So show me his body.
Thug: That water runs to any one of the outflows. We’d never find him.
Bane:Follow him.

Trader: This is the stock exchange. There’s no money here for you to steal.
Bane: Really? Then why are you people here?

Mercenary: They cut the fiber. Cell’s working.
Bane: For now. How much longer does the program need?
Mercenary: Eight minutes.
Bane: Time to go mobile.
(takes helmet from frightened trader)
Bane: Thank you.

Daggett: Where is the masked -
Bane: Speak of thedevil… and he shall appear.
Daggett: What the hell’s going on?
Bane: The plan is proceeding as expected.
Daggett: Do I look like I’m running Wayne Enterprises? Your hit on the stock exchange didn’t work, my friend. And now you’ve got my construction crews working all hours around the city. How’s that supposed to help my company absorb Wayne’s?
Bane (to Stryver): Leave us.
Daggett: You stayright there. I’m in charge here.
Bane: Do you feel in charge?
Daggett: I’ve paid you a small fortune.
Bane: And this gives you power over me? … Your money and infrastructure have been important… ‘til now.
Daggett: What are you?
Bane: I’m Gotham’s reckoning. Here to end the borrowed time you’ve all been living on.
Daggett: You’re pure evil.
Bane: I’m necessary evil.

Batman: You’ve made aserious mistake.
Bane: Not as serious as yours, I fear.
Batman: Bane…
Bane: Let’s not stand on ceremony here, Mr Wayne. … Peace has cost you your strength. Victory has defeated you. … Theatricality and deception are powerful agents to the uninitiated. But we are initiated, aren’t we Bruce? Members of the League of Shadows. And you betrayed us!
Batman: Us? You were excommunicated. From a gang ofpsychopaths.
Bane: I am the League of Shadows, here to fulfil Ra’s Al Ghul’s destiny! … You fight like a younger man. Nothing held back. Admirable, but mistaken. … Ah, you think darkness is your ally? You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Molded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man, and by then it was nothing to me but blinding! The shadows betray you, because...
