Adam West: [after meeting on the set for the first time] Why don't we take some time and discuss our approaches to the role?::Burt Ward: Well, I just plan on saying my lines. [sees looks of surprise on faces of West and director] Is there more to it than that?::Adam West: [trying to put it delicately] Uhhh, well, yeah. Maybe a little
Adam West: [reading an invitation left on his front door] Alfred! I need you! [opens closet] Ah, what to wear? [sees one suit] Eh, too flashy. [sees another one] Too stuffy. [sees another one] Too formal. [comes across his old Batman costume] Too retro.::Jerry the Butler: [patiently after coming into the room] It's not Alfred, Mister West. It's Jerry. Alfred was the guy on the tv-show.::Adam West: There's a charity event at the car museum tonight. It seems I'm expected.::Jerry the Butler: [reads invitation] A little last minute, isn't it?::Adam West: Charity doesn't punch a clock, my friend.::Jerry the Butler: I guess you'll be needing your tuxedo.::Adam West: Nooo. I think something a little more in keeping with the times. Something a little less formal. Something... Clooneyish.

[Adam and Burt are at a diner. Burt reads a menu]::Burt Ward: Holy lunch specials! Look at this.::Adam West: It appears to be a menu, Burt.

" "Cesar Romero Salad... " "Vincent Fries... " They even have drinks. Look, a "Julie New-Martini." [Burt hands Adam the menu and Adam reads it]::Adam West: "Art Chili Con Carney... " "Zsa Zsa Gabor... " "Liberace... " All these people disguised as daily specials!::Burt Ward: Almost every actor who played a villain our characters battled.::Adam West: Battled? Yes, and triumphed over. Any one of them could still be harboring a grudge.::Burt Ward: Adam, they're only actors.::Adam West: I'm sure they'd like us to think so, Burt. But there's more here than meets the eye. [Adam and Burt look around suspiciously] Very odd.::Burt Ward: What's that?::Adam West: [checking his watch] It's time for an act break, but that voice is strangely absent.::Burt Ward: *He* must be on a break.::Adam West: Possibly. But now that he's not here, I miss him.
