The Dark Knight Rises

— This is a stock exchange. There's no money you can steal.
— Really? Then why are you people here?

— Come with me. Save yourself. You don't owe these people any more. You've given them everything.
— Not everything. Not yet.

— You could've gone anywhere, been anything. But you came back here.
— So did you.
— I guess we're both suckers.

— It's not our money, it's everybody's.
— Really? Mine's in my mattress.
— You don't put these guys down, that stuffing in your mattress might be worth a whole lot less.

— Must have lost my ticket.
— Your wife said you were taking a cab home.
— My wife?

The legend is that there was a mercenary who worked for a local warlord. He fell in love with the warlord's daughter. They were married in secret. When the warlord found out... the mercenary was condemned to this pit. But then he exiled him instead. The mercenary understood that it was the daughter who had secured his release. But what he could not know was the true price of his freedom. She took his place in the pit. And she was with child... the mercenary's child. Innocence cannot flower underground. It has to be stamped out. One day, the doctor forgot
to lock the cell. But the child had a friend... a protector who showed the others that this innocence was their redemption. It was to be prized. The mother was not so lucky.

Many years ago, it was a time of plague. Some of the other prisoners attacked Bane. The doctor's fumbling attempts to repair the damage... left him in perpetual agony. The mask holds the pain at bay.
