I didn’t count on being happy.

A scene from Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. Bruce has recently begun dating Andrea Beaumont, and has become infatuated with her. He finally realizes that having her in his life creates a conflict; He cannot risk his life every night if there is someone who loves him waiting at home. He confronts his parents grave, and pleads with them for the opportunity to try living a happy life with her, instead of becoming Batman and fulfilling the promise he made to them.
