It's difficult for me to not be there when Gotham is in trouble. Your problems with Selina need to be discussed with her, and if not, I'll speak to her on your behalf. She's more careful than she was before, but there is still room for improvement. [...] I can't not be there at all. When things go wrong, I can't be entirely absent. But [...] I could [...] dive our time between the others more evenly than I have in the past. [Cursor blink.] I'm not fighting a losing battle. You can think what you like, but I don't believe that. I can't. [...] Sometimes. The problem with our villains is that they have a bad habit of not staying in jails very long, not like ordinary criminals, and even Arkham can do so much. [Pause.] Neither of us can control what those will villains do. If I could prevent things like this, like what Ra's did, from happening, I would. I'm trying. [...] I can be careful. I can try to minimize the risk. But I can never be entirely, wholly safe. I'm sorry.
