Wallis Day: Kate Kane, Circe Sionis

Quotes 

• Black Mask : Masks have taken on various meanings over time. Deceit, disguise, cheap entertainment, but as Jung once said, we all wear masks, both to create an impression upon others but also to hide our own true natures.

  Enigma : [he removes his mask]  Good evening, Mr. Sionis.

  [he touches another mask tenderly] 

  Enigma : It's absolutely beautiful.

  Roman Sionis : Hmm. Though making people look their best is my specialty, I think this just so happens to be my masterpiece. For generations, every Sionis has had a replica mask decorating their casket. I exhumed this one from the coffin of my dearly departed daughter, once dead, now on the verge of rebirth.

  Kate Kane : My name is Kate Kane.

  [he puts the mask on her] 

  Kate Kane : No. No. Ugh!

  Roman Sionis : Dr. Rhyme, if you would.

  Enigma : Ms. Kane, our therapy has come to an end point. On my cue, you will remember nothing of your life before today. Your only memories will be those of Circe Sionis.

  Kate Kane : No. N...

  [Enigma grabs her wrists] 

  Kate Kane : No!

  Enigma : [tapping her cane twice, Kate falls unconscious]  I must warn you, Roman. While psychologically and behaviorally she is your daughter, there was nothing I could do about her voice. Her larynx was damaged by your man during the kidnapping and subsequent torture.

  Roman Sionis : Hmm.

  Circe Sionis : [regaining consciousness]  What the hell, dad? Why am I wearing this mask?

  Roman Sionis : Well, don't you remember, sweetheart? You were in a terrible fire when you broke out of Arkham.

  Circe Sionis : It still feels a little fuzzy.

  Roman Sionis : Hmm. Well, things will become more and more clear as the days pass. The important thing is now that you have this mask, no one will ever hurt you again.

• Circe Sionis : Where's Batwoman?

  Alice : Finally, a member of this lame society who's actually trying.

  [indicating the mask] 

  Alice : Love this. Is it oak?

  [Circe puts a dagger to her throat] 

  Alice : You can find her on the deck.

  Circe Sionis : I'll be back for you.

  Alice : Looking forward to it.
