Tim: Aaaarrrggh, you are such a sore loser, Damian!
Damian: I am not a sore loser, Drake. It’s just that I prefer to win, and when I don’t, I get furious.

Tim: *wearing a cowboy hat and riding on the giant dinosaur’s head in the Batcave* Caffeine, baby!
Tim Drake: Initiate Phase 2.

Bart Allen: I’ll assume that means “yes”.
Tim Drake: Roger.
Bart Allen: My name’s Bart.
When asked about his stress levels at being the CEO of Wayne Enterprises…
Tim: *laughs heartily* I’ve only slept nine hours over the past four days.
Tim: *wipes tears off his eyes* So I’m right on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Tim: This isn’t a bagel.

Tam: Or we could just have a life… ?
