Batman lecturing Robin;
Robin: "But what is it?"
Batman: "Saribus Sacer. A species of ancient Egyptian beetle, sacred to the Sun God, Hymeopolos. And from which the term scarab is derived. But, you should know that, Robin, if you are up on your studies of Egyptology."
Robin: "You're right."
Batman: "I know. Hieroglyphics self-taught are a chore, Robin; but, it is a surefire way to unravel the secrets of the ancient mystics."
Dick: "Gosh Bruce, Greek is still Greek to me."
Aunt Harriet: "It's Greek to a lot of Greeks too. It's one of the world's oldest, most important, most beautiful languages."
Dick: "It may be, Aunt Harriet, but can't we take a breather and work out in the gym for a while?"
Aunt Harriet: "But the mind needs excercise too, Dick."
Dick: "Well, my mind is getting muscle-bound."
Bruce: "Ahhh, there is an old saying, Dick. A sound mind and a sound body. A worthy goal."

More Batman Lectures;
Robin: "Holy molars! Am I ever glad I take good care of my teeth!"
Batman: "True. You owe your life to dental hygiene."
Bruce: "Yes, Dick, your bird calls are close to perfect. If more people practiced them, someday we might have a chance for real communication with our feathered friends."
Dick: "In that case I think I'll polish up my ruby-crowned kinglet and my rose-breasted yellow-tailed grouse-beak calls."
Dick: "Sorry, I'm not interested in dance lessons."
Bruce: "Wait a minute, Dick. The junior prom's coming up, isn't it?"
Dick: "Yes, but..."
Bruce: "Well, we don't want you to be a wallflower, do we? Dancing is an integral part of every young man's education."
Dick: "Gosh Bruce, you're right."
Batman to Robin: "When you get a little older, you'll see how easy it is to become lured by the female of the species."
Robin: "I guess you can never trust a woman."
Batman: "You've made a hasty generalization, Robin. It's a bad habit to get into."

Robin: "Gosh, Batman - isn't there anything you don't know?"
Batman: "Yes, Robin. Several things."

RIP Mr. West and thanks for the fun and spoofing.
Pick up a copy of Back to the Batcave by West if you want a really entertaining read about the whole Batman TV phenomenon. Trying to play down Burt Ward's substantial package and many "curious stirrings in the utility belt" along the way as the various Catwomen were cast will leave you laughing out loud.

As the cub reporter for our Orange High School newspaper I had the privilege to interview both, and take pictures, at the studio in L.A. They were nice, not arrogant and fun.

He lived near Sun Valley Idaho & was well liked by the locals, but I never met him when I lived there. My condolences to his family & friends.
This showed up on Facebook today. I just confirmed those listings in my 2015 issue of Names & Numbers for the Sun Valley area.
