five hundred and five
Selina Kyle: Um, I have a suggestion. Actually, more like a question.
Max Shreck: In the plus column though, she makes a hell of a cup of coffee.
-- Whilst the chaos enrages around her, Selina goes looking for her glasses only to be captured by one of the Red Triangle Circus gang --
Selina Kyle: Well, that was very brief. Just like all the men in my life. What men? Then again there's you but you need therapy.
Selina Kyle: Yes, to you I seem pathetic. But I'm a working girl, gotta pay the rent. Maybe if you were chipping in instead of stepping out.
Selina Kyle: (on machine) Hi Selina, this is yourself calling. To remind you honey that you have to come all the way back to the office unless you remembered to bring home the Bruce Wayne file because the meeting's on Wednesday.
Selina Kyle: It can be our little secret. Honest! How can you be so mean to someone so meaningless?!
-- Selina falls to her death and subsequent revival --
Selina Kyle: (dazed) Honey I'm home... Oh, I forgot. I'm not married.
-- Selina freaks when she realises whats happened to her and promptly begins to take out her frustration on her apartment --
-- Using the leather jacket found in the closet, she begins to make her catsuit --
Catwoman: I don't know about you Miss Kitty but I feel... So much yummier.
Catwoman: You make it so easy don't you? Always waiting for some Batman to save you. I am Catwoman. Hear me roar!
Selina Kyle: But last night... Complete blur. Couldn't you just die?
-- On her first night of wreaking havoc, Catwoman decides on wrecking Shreck's Department store --
Catwoman: You poor guys. Always confusing your pistols with your privates.
Catwoman: Meow.
-- Shreck's explodes in the background before she makes her escape --
-- Batman hits Catwoman and she falls to the ground, pissed --
Catwoman: How could you?! I'm a woman!
Catwoman: As I was saying, I'm a woman. And can't be taken for granted. Life's a bitch, now so am I!
-- Catwoman toys with Penguin's pet bird before agreeing to work together in order to bring down Batman --
Catwoman: The thought of busting Batman makes me feel all... Dirty. Maybe I'll give myself a bath right here.
Selina Kyle: It's gonna be a hot time on the cold town tonight.
Bruce Wayne: You've got kind of a dark side, don't you?
Selina Kyle: No darker than yours, Bruce.
Selina Kyle: It's the so-called "normal" guys who always let you down. Sickoes never scare me. Least they're comitted.
Selina Kyle: Would you tell him from me that I've been going through a lot of... changes and- No. Um, just that this is not a rejection. My abruptly leaving. In fact he makes me feel the way I hope I really am. No. Could you just make up a sonnet or something? A dirty limerick?
Catwoman: Gotta go! Girl talk.
-- Catwoman drags out the Ice Princess in hope of luring Batman out onto the rooftops --
Batman: Mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it.
Catwoman: Hmm, but a kiss can be even deadlier if you mean it.
-- After attempting to stab Batman, he pushes her off. As he departs she checks to see that she has lost one of her talons --
Catwoman: Damn.
-- After the Ice Princess has fallen to her death --
Catwoman: You said you were going to scare the Ice Princess.
Penguin: She looked pretty scared to me, hahaha! Touch of the bubbly?
-- Catwoman is thrown into the air with one of Penguin's umbrellas --
Penguin: (from below) Goodbye my uninitended. Go to heaven.
-- She breaks free from the umbrella only to freefall into a glass house. Embittered at losing another life, her screams shatter the glass --
-- Selina looks on as Penguin's crowd of followers begin to turn on him as they realise he has been scamming them all along --
-- Bruce Wayne was not planning on attending Shreck's Masquerade Ball but the lure of Selina Kyle being there prompts him to attend --
Bruce Wayne: Why'd you come here tonight?
Selina Kyle: You first.
Bruce Wayne: To see you.
Selina Kyle: That's lovely. I really wish I could say the same but I came for Max.
Bruce Wayne: Not you and Max?
Selina Kyle: (hysterical laughter) Me and Max? (laughter) No. Not me and Max. (brings out a small pistol) This and Max.
-- Bruce tells Selina that although she's got problems with her boss she shouldn't risk it all by killing him --
Selina Kyle: (forlorn) I don't know who I am anymore, Bruce...
Selina Kyle: A kiss under the mistletoe. You know, mistletoe can be deadly if you eat it.
Bruce Wayne: But a kiss... (pause, realising he's exchanged these words before) can be even deadlier if you mean it.
Selina Kyle: (desperately) Oh my God. Does this mean we have to start fighting?
Bruce Wayne: Lets go outside.
Max Shreck: I don't know what you want but I know I can get it for you. Money? Jewels? A very big ball of string?
Catwoman: Your blood, Max.
Max Shreck: My blood? I gave at the office.
Catwoman: A half pint. I'm talking gallons.
-- Batman swings down to try and halt her from killing Shreck --
Catwoman: Don't be naive! The law doesn't abide to people like him or us.
Batman: Lets just take him to the police. Then we can go home. Together. Selina...
Selina Kyle: Bruce. I would love to live with you in your castle. Forever just like in a fairytale. (scratches his face) I just couldn't live with myself! So don't pretend this is a happy ending!
Max Shreck: And Bruce Wayne, why are you dressed up like Batman?
Selina Kyle: Because he is Batman, you moron!
-- After being shot several times by Shreck, losing 4 lives in the process, Selina staggers towards him when he pulls the trigger once again. But this time he is out of bullets. Selina laughs at him --
Selina Kyle: Two lives left. I think I'll save one for next Christmas.
Selina Kyle: But in the meantime... How about a kiss anti-Claus?
Bruce Wayne: (voice over) Good Will toward men. And women.

I decided to go with my all time favourite movie character, Selina Kyle/Catwoman from Batman Returns (1992). Michelle Pfeiffer should get a lot of credit for bringing this HBIC to life. I first saw this movie when I was 7 years old and I guess it just stuck with me for the following 16 years how good Pfeiffer actually was. Without her stunning performance I don't think it would have been anything like this should Annette Benning have been cast like had been originally planned. I would give my life to see Emily do this role in Nolan's next Batman movie but if the casting rumours about her playing The Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff in Iron Man 2 are confirmed (which I suspect they will be) then I guess I'll never see a dream realised (even though she will STILL be wearing skin tight leather, woah). Besides, Nolan might not even opt for Catwoman at all. I guess its just a waiting game. But until then lets celebrate Pfeiffer's effortless performance.
