Freeze was looking around the room as he didn't see Alex anywhere and continued looking around until he said something to the vigilante.

Freeze: Tell me Batman. Have ever seen a flower die? Watched something that was once so beautiful, so full of life, collapse and rot from within? That was my Nora. . . . . .

Alex: Victor, I'll help you save Nora. But you need to give me the cure. Innocent peoples lives are on the line.

Freeze: You care about this city like they care about you. You owe them nothing because in their eyes they'll forever know you as a monster instead of a hero.

Alex: Please Victor, Don't do this.

Freeze: Don't pretend to care, Batman. . . . You don't know my pain because you never lost someone you loved. . . . .

Alex: Victor. I don't want to fight you.

Freeze: But I will. . . . . .

Alex:. . . . . Is that your final answer?

Freeze: Yes. . . . . . You will have to die.
