  Catwoman : [voiceover]  The day I died was the day I started to live. In my old life, I longed for someone to see what was special in me. You did, and for that, you'll always be in my heart. But what I really needed was for me to see it. And now I do. You're a good man, Tom. But you live in a world that has no place for someone like me. You see, sometimes I'm good. Oh, I'm very good. But sometimes I'm bad. But only as bad as I wanna be. Freedom is power. To live a life untamed and unafraid is the gift that I've been given, and so my journey begins.

• Catwoman : White Russian, no ice, no vodka... hold the Kahlua.

• Catwoman : Cats come when they feel like it. Not when they're told.

• Patience Philips : I'm sorry!

  George Hedare : Sorry? Sorry is not nearly enough!

  Patience Philips : Ok, then lemme try the remix. I'm sorry for every second I wasted working for an UNtalented, UNethical, egomaniac like you!

  George Hedare : Clean out your cubicle. You are fired.

• Laurel Hedare : Game over!

  Catwoman : Guess what? It's overtime!

• Ophelia : Catwomen are not contained by the rules of society. You follow your own desires. This is both a blessing and a curse. You will often be alone and misunderstood, but you will experience a freedom other women will never know. You are a Catwoman. Every sight, every smell, every sound, incredibly heightened. Fierce independence, total confidence, inhuman reflexes.

  Patience Philips : So I'm not Patience anymore?

  Ophelia : You are Patience. And you are Catwoman. Accept it, child. You've spent a lifetime caged. By accepting who you are - all of who you are... you can be free. And freedom is power.

• Catwoman : Time to accessorize!

• [first lines] 

  Catwoman : [voiceover]  It all started on the day that I died. If there had been an obituary, it would have described the unremarkable life of an unremarkable woman, survived by no one. But there was no obituary, because the day that I died was also the day I started to live. But that comes later. This was my life. Days blended together, consistently ordinary, thanks to a job that was the practical version of my passion. I was supposed to be an artist by now. Instead, I was designing ads for beauty cream.

• Patience Philips : [to thieves]  Amateurs! You boys thought you could come in here and steal all these beautiful things? What a purrrfect idea!

• Ophelia : Midnight.

  Patience Philips : I'm sorry.

  Ophelia : Her name.

  [Talking about her cat] 

  Ophelia : She's an Egyptian Mau, the rarest of breeds. Temple cats. It's said that Maus have special powers.

  Patience Philips : Like popping out of nowhere? I know.

  Ophelia : Among other things.

• Catwoman : [Pets Midnight while holding a black cat mask]  You saved my life, Midnight. But somebody killed me and I've got to find out who and why.

• Catwoman : You like bad girls?

  Tom Lone : Only if they like me back.

• Laurel Hedare : If you have no identity, why keep it a secret?

  Catwoman : Because you killed me.

• Tom Lone : Hello, Miss Phillips.

  Patience Philips : Hi.

  [to Sally] 

  Patience Philips : This is the officer I was telling you about from earlier.

  Tom Lone : Detective Lone. Tom Lone.

  Sally : God that's such a good name. Tom Lone rhymes with cone, bone, phone. Not the rhyming's all that important. I must be in my cubicle alone.

• Laurel Hedare : [Deleted scene]  You ask me, I think you look fabulous.

  Patience Philips : Well, maybe, he is right.

  Laurel Hedare : Making people feel small is his game. You can't win. You got to refuse to play.

  Patience Philips : But, I thought I knew what he wanted.

  Laurel Hedare : Don't feel bad, honey. So did I.

• [repeated line] 

  Patience Philips : Oh, my bad!
