Gotham Is Beyond Saving (The Dark Knight Rises)

[as Bruce hangs in cell, delirious from the pain in his back, he starts hallucinating] Ra's Al Ghul: Did you not think I would return, Bruce? Hmm? [Bruce looks up and sees Ra's Al Ghul step out from the shadows in front of Bruce] Ra's Al Ghul: I told you I was immortal. Bruce Wayne: I watched...I watched you die. Ra's Al Ghul: Oh, there are many forms of immortality. Once I had a wife. My great love. [we then see Ra's Al Ghul, sat at the campfire, as seen in Batman Begins] Ra's Al Ghul: She was taken from me. Bruce Wayne: You were the mercenary. [back in the prison cell, Ra's Al Ghul nods his head] Bruce Wayne: Bane is your child. Your heir. Ra's Al Ghul: An heir to ensure the League of Shadows fulfills its duty to restore balance as a civilization. Bruce Wayne: No. Ra's Al Ghul: You yourself fought the decadence of Gotham for years. With all your strength, all your resources, all your moral authority. And the only victory you could achieve was a lie. Now you understand, Gotham is beyond saving. Bruce Wayne: No! Ra's Al Ghul: And must be allowed to die. Bruce Wayne: No! [Bruce passes out]
