Robin (Bruce): You’re talking too much.

Batman (Tim): Lighten up.

--Tim Drake with Bruce Wayne (Sins of Youth: Batboy and Robin #1 – Big Magic)

‘All my friends are worried about their grades and dating and fitting in. Normal teenager stuff. I’ve got all that and the burden of being the Boy Wonder. I try to remember that I wanted this. But I never thought of how lonely it would be.’

--Tim Drake (Robin Miniseries II #4 – Chill Factor)

Nightwing: You’re getting better. I didn’t hear you until the mortar on that chimney crumbled.

Robin: One day I’m gonna get by you.

Nightwing: I’m sure you will.

--Tim Drake with Dick Grayson (Batman: Family #7 - Chapter Seven: Precipice)

“Funny. I’m starting to think of Robin and Tim as two different people. Have to ask Bruce if he does that.”

--Tim Drake (Robin Miniseries II #1 –The Funniest Thing Happened…)

Bruce: This could be your room, Tim. It was Dick’s. He would want you to live here as he did.

Tim: I don’t understand. You’ve already given me the stable.

Bruce: That isn’t enough. We’re a team. Wayne Manor should be your home. Dick was my ward. Legally. It gave him security. I think you should have that too. However…the laws have changed. I can’t adopt you as my ward. For you to have the security I feel you deserve…I’d have to adopt you as my son. I don’t know how you feel about that, Tim. I do know that I could never replace your real father, but I’d try to-- [Tim launches at Bruce, hugging him] It’s all right, boy. It--it will be fine.

Dana: Let Tim explain.

Jack: You mean lie, Dana.

Robin: Wasn’t there an easier way to do this?

Nightwing: But this way is fun.

--Dana Winters to Jack Drake on Tim Drake (Robin #51 – Kiss and Kill)

Batman: You did well, Tim.

Robin: Bruce--?!

Batman: I’m proud of you.

Unknown: How do you see yourself as an adult?

Tim: I don’t plan that far ahead.
