Erik: Nice to meet you. I'm Erik... Hang on, how do you know my name?
Irene: Huh? Oh. It was kind of a lucky guess? I figured it was either that or Aaron; I mean, lip reading is more of art than science— look, it's not important!
Andrea : You had me bugged, is that it?
Batman: I can read lips.

Spike: He said umm..."I'm gonna make your little girl pay for what you rich assholes did to me and my family."
Jet: You read lips?

Jet: Three years of us working together and I'm just learning this now?
Spike: Didn't come up a lot.
