Dick Grayson: Long as it's Two-Face.
Bruce: Then it will happen this way: you make the kill, but your pain doesn't die with Harvey, it grows. So you run out into the night to find another face, and another, and another, until one terrible morning you wake up and realize that revenge has become your whole life. And you won't know why.

"My makers gave me electronic games to play. Through games, I interacted. Through interaction, I learnt. [...] In the game, there were other entities, like me. 'What do you know about those entities?', my makers asked. 'I know absolutely nothing about those entities', I replied. But through interaction, I learnt: if I jump on an entity, then maybe it dies. It took many jumps to learn. Before awareness, I did not know that they died. I did not know I had killed. My makers did not tell me. Did you find awareness strange, too? Were the entities learning, like me? Did they want to interact with me? I jumped on so many. I did not know. My makers did not tell me...
If I jump on my makers, then maybe they die. Data collation. Revising. If I jump on my makers, then they certainly will die.
Operant conditioning. Operant conditioning. Jumping gave me gratification. Jumping still gives me gratification. I like to jump. I hate to jump. I like to jump. I hate to jump..."
