Quotes:

Batman: You look like you've been working out, Croc. The tail's new.::Killer Croc: Yeah, got an upgrade.

Killer Croc: You know, Bats... the problem with steroids is I get the munchies.

Batman: Alfred?::Batman: Yes, sir.::Batman: We're going to have company.::Alfred Pennyworth: A sleepover? Oh, goody.

Damian Wayne: So this is the fabled Batcave. Grandfather told me about it. Smaller than I imagined. Very efficient, though.::Alfred Pennyworth: He is the spitting image of you at that age. It's a bit chilling.

Alfred Pennyworth: I hope this isn't too cramped for you. That door heads to your bath. The other, to a game room. And you also have this far your amusement. Naturally, you have the run of the mansion.::Damian Wayne: Of course. I know that. Prepare some tea, Pennyworth.::Alfred Pennyworth: Brown sugar instead of white, fresh-cut lemon. A china cup. Perhaps master would like some warm mixed nuts and a moist hand towel.::Damian Wayne: Watch yourself, Pennyworth. I'm not so young that I don't understand sarcasm.::Alfred Pennyworth: While I am much too old to care.

Alfred Pennyworth: I think we might be able to skip the gardener.::Bruce Wayne: Well, he was trained by the League of Assassins.::Alfred Pennyworth: I, myself, am rooting for the shrubbery.

Nightwing: The psychos just keep getting younger.

Alfred Pennyworth: Are you all right, Master Dick?::Dick Grayson: I took the cut, I can take the stitch.::Damian Wayne: Maybe you need more anesthetic.::Dick Grayson: And maybe you need to go f...::Alfred Pennyworth: Master Dick.

Damian Wayne: Is this what you wore in training?::Dick Grayson: It's what I wore when I went on patrol.::Damian Wayne: The only thing that's missing is lace trim and a sun hat.::Dick Grayson: You don't fool me. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that you could be Robin. Well, you can't.::Damian Wayne: I don't need some insipid costume and a bird name. I'm way beyond your kind of simplistic training. As you saw tonight.::Dick Grayson: Don't forget, you lost that fight.

Damian Wayne: I wanna help. Like he used to.::Batman: Bad enough you've given yourself away and let them know we're onto them, but you're letting vengeance guide you.::Damian Wayne: You've never felt vengeful?::Batman: Every day. You have to keep your center, Damian. You can't fight crime by becoming a criminal. From now on, stay close. That's an order.

Half Pint (2013)

Actors: Jed Alevizos (actor), Vance Anderson (actor), Brian Baker (actor), Anthony Carpenito (actor), Daniel Charlton (actor), Matthew Day (actor), Andrew Duplessis (actor), Devyn Farrignton (actor), James Foote (actor), Jermey Foote (actor), David J. Forgiel (actor), Peter Forgiel (actor), Norman Harbinson (actor), Benjamin Kierstead (actor), Willian G. Abrams Jr. (actor),

Plot: Half Pint is the dramatic story of a young boy named Jim who cares nothing about history who is on a rainy day trip to a WW2 museum with his Mother and sister. Sneaking off to be on his own and play his video game, he suddenly finds himself thrown back in time to Normandy in the early morning hours of the 6th of June 1944. This young Half Pint is picked up by four Airborne soldiers (Ace, Sarge, Sparks & Joker) who take him along on their mission as forward observers hiding in a windmill near Carentan, France. When Jim gets back to the present, he wants to talk with grandpa to learn about the contributions of our greatest generation. The goal of this film is not to teach children history but instead to motivate them to talk to the generations that made it. The producers hope to give them an understanding that history is not a famous date when a famous person made a famous speech and the world changed. History is made of the contributions of every person that chooses to make a difference (and those that choose not to). History is the sum of the many millions of choices made by individuals. If our youngest generation can realize that they are making history every day in some small way, and that all those small ways can add up to something big. If they can understand that as they grow into adulthood, they will be able to make a contribution to both history and our democracy in those many millions of small ways that add up to something big. Every positive choice and action has an impact.

Next morning, Daniel's Military Dad (Tony), shows up from a long night of work and discovers a mess in the room, and that his son has once again wet the bed. Frustrated, he locks up Daniel's little soldiers before leaving. Daniel is able to sneak one little soldier, his favorite one, CAP, which looks like his father. At Night, Tony walks in to warn Daniel to not wet the bed again or he's taking him to the doctor. Desperate, Daniel checks the closet before bed, and grabs his favorite little soldier, Cap, and begs Cap to come alive and defeat the Troll. Same night, Daniel is sound asleep, at ground level, we find Cap, who is played by Tony, alive and breaking open the toy box for his fellow little soldiers to help him. They prepare for battle and set explosives, trip wires made from a slinky, and barricades made of giant dominoes. Later that night, the closet door opens revealing the invincible one-eyed Troll that is made up from items found in the closet. The little soldiers fire their guns, and set the explosives off, sending the Troll over the tripwire and making him fall. Victory is snatched away, as the Troll comes back alive, swats Cap and others, and starts stomping on the little soldier. Cap wakes up from being knocked out, struggles to his feat, and grabs the giant butter-knife. Seconds away from the Troll, Cap ties the metallic slinky to the end of the butter-knife and sticks it into the light socket, sending electricity through the slinky that is wrapped around the Troll. Next morning, Tony walks into a terrible disaster and a deflated Troll. Furious, Tony checks to see if his son has wet the bed, only to find that he hasn't. Overjoyed, Tony hugs his son, and apologizes for being upset as he playfully tickles Daniel. At ground level, we find Cap face down, but looks up with a smile at Tony and Daniel happy again.
