Jim: The Sky Seems So Much Darker Tonight. I’m Afraid To Turn It Off.

Jim: The sky seems so much darker tonight. I’m afraid to turn it off.

Barbara: Then don’t, Dad. Leave it on.

Jim: I’ve got that same awful feeling…

Barbara: What feeling?

Jim: The same feeling I had when Batgirl disappeared. No one knew exactly what had happened to her, but everyone knew it was bad. And there wasn’t a damn thing I could do about it then either.

Barbara: When I was in physical therapy, there was a sign on the gym wall. It read, “No matter how dark the night gets, the sun still rises in the morning”. 

Every day, I’d wake up two hours before dawn. Back then it’d take me that long to get into me chair, clean up and go outside to watch the sun rise. But I did it. And I still do. I love life, Dad. I love every single day. 

I brought enough coffee to last until sunrise.

Jim: You’re an amazing person, you know that?

Barbara: Like father, like daughter.
