The miscellany website Neatorama recently linked to a collection of Batman and Robin conversations from the old live action series. Adam West! Here are two of my favorites:

Robin: "You can't get away from Batman that easy!"
Batman: "Easily."
Robin: "Easily."
Batman: "Good grammar is essential, Robin."
Robin: "Thank you."
Batman: "You're welcome."

Batman: "Cattail Lane and Nine Lives Alley. The Grimalkin Novelty Company is on that corner."
Robin: "Grimalkin? What kind of a name is that?"
Batman: "An obscure but nevertheless acceptable synonym for cat, Robin."

For more good language-related miscellanea, I highly recommend the language-tag posts over at Futility Closet.
