The Dark Knight Rises Quote

[Bruce arrives at a charity ball, and sits at the bar as he watches Selina dancing with an old man]Miranda Tate: Bruce Wayne at a charity ball? [Bruce turns to see Miranda wearing a small mask]
Bruce Wayne: Miss Tate, isn't it? [Miranda takes off her mask]
Miranda Tate: Even before you became a recluse, you never came to these things.
Bruce Wayne: Proceeds go to the big fat spread. It's not about charity, it's about feeding the ego of whichever society hag laid this on.
Miranda Tate: Actually, this is my party, Mr. Wayne.
Bruce Wayne: Oh.
Miranda Tate: And the proceeds will go where they should, because I paid for the big fat spread myself.
Bruce Wayne: That's very generous of you.
Miranda Tate: You have to invest to restore balance to the world. Take our clean-energy project.
Bruce Wayne: Sometimes the investment doesn't pay off. I'm sorry.
Miranda Tate: You have a practiced apathy, Mr. Wayne. But a man who doesn't care about the world doesn't spend half his fortune on a plan to save it. And isn't so wounded when it fails that he goes into hiding. Have a good evening, Mr. Wayne. [Miranda turns and walks off, and Bruce approaches Selina]
