During that time Tim was so upset that Dick picked Damian over him to be Robin…
Tim: And you know what else? I quit!
Dick: No, you don’t!
Tim: Well, I’m leaving early today!
Dick: No, you’re not! You’re coming back to the Batcave to do busy work!
Tim: Fine, but I’m getting coffee first!
Dick: *sighs*
Tag: caffeinated crusader
Damian: Drake.
Tim: Brat. The bet ends today. Are you ready?
Damian: I was born ready.
Tim: To lose? The whole question was, “Are you ready to lose?” and you said you were born that way.
Damian: Twist my words all you want.
Tim: Okay.
Damian: I’m winning this bet.
Jason: What bet? What’re you guys talking about?
Dick: Seriously? The bet? They’ve been keeping score all year. It comes up all the time. What are you doin’ all day?
Jason: Nothin’. Why, you wanna hang out?
Bruce being suspiciously… relaxed…
Dick: *watches as Alfred heads back to the kitchen carrying an empty softdrink bottle* What’s going on?
Dick: *spots Bruce sitting on a loveseat by the fireplace* Aha! What are you doing?
Bruce: Nothing. *pops the bottle cap off with just his index finger* Just enjoying a taste of my favorite beverage, the soda pop.
Jason: *feigns shock* Really? I have never seen you enjoy soda pop before.
Bruce: Hn.
Tim: *narrows his eyes* Have some now.
Bruce: *takes a sip* Ah, it’s delicious.
Damian: I don’t buy it, Father! You’re making the same face you made when you found Alfred’s chocolate chip cookie bits in your trail mix.
Dick: Something’s up. I’m patting you down. *proceeds to do just that, Officer Grayson-style*
Dick: Darn it, nothing but a non-surprisingly toned set of abs.
It’s 10 AM on a Sunday, kids. Give your father a break.
When your little brother’s just a little too attached to his pets…
Damian: *enters the Batcave carrying Alfred the Cat and pulling Batcow by a leash*
Damian: Can you take a cat and a cow to the theater?
Jason: Uhhh, no?
Tim: Of course not.
Damian: Okay. I just wanted them to hear it from somebody else.
Post-traning session at the Manor…
Nightwing: *trying to catch his breath and wiping sweat off his face*
Red Hood: *examining his broken helmet while holding an ice pack against his temple*
Red Robin: *throwing his halved bo staff into the fireplace*
Nightwing [to Robin]: In everyone’s defense, I think the most worthy opponent of yours is… you.

Well, since your sisters were out shopping during this whole ordeal, one cannot say that with absolute certainty.
Nerd v Nerd: Dawn of Dorkiness…
Superboy: *checking out gadgets* How much for your entire collection?
Toyman: Um, the Speed of Light expressed in dollars.
Red Robin [to Superboy]: Just give him Faraday’s Constant.
When your underage brother just wants to show you some support after you have yet another fight with your adoptive father…
Tim: So, um, do you want me to go to a bar with you and watch you drink?
Jason: No, no, that’s okay. It, uh, got a little weird last time.
After yet another lecture on his “immature behavior”…
Jason [to Bruce]: See how I’m not punching him? *gestures to Tim* I think I’ve grown.
Dick [to Tim]: I don’t believe it…. You’ve turned into Bruce!
Tim: Yeah? Well, sometimes Bruce’s right.
Jason: You take that back!
Tim: Hey, you can tear up the Batcave if you want – with Batman here – and explain it to him, or you can quit and slink away like the monosyllabic mouth-breathers you are.
Conner: What did he say?
Bart: He said a lot of things!
