Chemistry (1998)

Tim Matheson: Michael Vreeland

Quotes 

• Michael Vreeland : What did you tell him about me?

  Veronica Vreeland : Nothing, I swear.

  Michael Vreeland : Liar!

  [she hits him with a lamp; running into a panic room, she turns on the laser barrier] 

  Veronica Vreeland : I wouldn't try it. Latest thing in home security. They'll fry you.

  Michael Vreeland : [sticking his head into the beams, unaffected]  Ouch.

• Michael Vreeland : How is she?

  Bruce Wayne : The doctors hope she'll regain consciousness in a few hours. Where have you been?

  Michael Vreeland : I was at a business meeting. When I came back, the house was in ashes. I was afraid that...

  Bruce Wayne : I got there just as the fire started. We were lucky. Any idea why she called me? Some sort of problem?

  Michael Vreeland : Problem? No, everything was fine.

  Bruce Wayne : Well, that's another mystery, then.

• Veronica Vreeland : I see you've met Michael's friend Susan.

  Bruce Wayne : I have, and if friends are any indication, you've made an excellent choice, Veronica.

  Veronica Vreeland : Yes, I think number four will be the charm. I'd have introduced you sooner, but it was all so sudden.

  Bruce Wayne : A two-week courtship? Why would you call that sudden?

  Michael Vreeland : It was chemistry, Bruce.

  Veronica Vreeland : Maybe someday, it'll happen to you.

  Bruce Wayne : Come on, Veronica, you know me.

• Poison Ivy : What are you doing here?

  Michael Vreeland : Ivy, I had to talk to you.

  Poison Ivy : You're supposed to be with the Vreeland woman.

  Michael Vreeland : Something went wrong. I-I tried to kill her.

  Poison Ivy : [slapping him]  Who told you to do that? We were going to wait for the cruise, remember?

  Michael Vreeland : Ivy, I didn't mean to jump the gun, but there was no choice. She was getting suspicious.

  Poison Ivy : What did she have to be suspicious about?

  Michael Vreeland : [opening his shirt to reveal plant-like chest hair]  This. I'm changing back.

  Poison Ivy : Oh, if it's happening to you, it'll happen to the others, too. I don't have as much time as I thought.

  Michael Vreeland : What about me? Veronica knows!

  [ripping his shirt off, she also rips his skin off, revealing a plant-like being; in hiding, Robin gags and Batgirl covers his mouth to keep him from vomiting] 

  Poison Ivy : Consider this your annulment.

• Bruce Wayne : The investigators think the fire was arson.

  Michael Vreeland : Someone's trying to kill her?

  Bruce Wayne : Maybe. But they're not going to. I've hired some security guards to keep an eye on her. I know that'll be a big relief for you.

  Michael Vreeland : Yeah.

  Bruce Wayne : I'll be calling in soon. Take care of her, Michael.

  [leaving the hospital, he calls Robin and Batgirl] 

  Bruce Wayne : You two, keep tabs on him. I've got a honeymoon cruise to take.
