Dialogue

Catwoman: You're absolutely insane. He killed your friend. Tried to kill Nightwing. Hell, he almost killed me and you're sorry he's dead?

Batman: I had to try. If someone can be saved, I have to try.

Catwoman: You do, don't you? It's a compulsion. You and your goddamn code. And you'll die because of it, you know this, right? Will that make it all better?

Batman: Without a code, I'm no better than them.

Catwoman: But this is Superman.

Batman: Yes, and if he wanted we'd be dead already. Deep down he's a good person and deep down I'm not.

Bruce Wayne: Hello, Damian. Titus.

Damian Wayne: Pennyworth tells me you're romantically involved with a criminal now?

Bruce Wayne: Ex-criminal, Damian, and it's only a date.

Damian Wayne: There are no ex-criminals, Father, only ones who aren't breaking the law at the moment.

[Titus barks]

Bruce Wayne: She's not like that, anymore. Damian, I...

Damian Wayne: Look, I understand. This never-ending mission of ours is a lonely endeavor. If this trollop provides some carnal release, so be it.

Bruce Wayne: Trollop? Your slang skills need work.

Damian Wayne: But I needn't bring up your past poor choices in women, including but not limited to my mother.

Bruce Wayne: Damian, I'm not...

Damian Wayne: Not that I'm ungrateful being here, mind you...

[brakes screech]

Damian Wayne: ...However, I must insist that you use protection. And another thing, cover your drink.

Bruce Wayne: Goodbye, Damian.

Selina Kyle: [In bed with Batman/Bruce Wayne] I don't often say something was worth the wait because I hate waiting. But that, meow.

Batman: I feel the same.

[Sits up, revealing scars on his back]

Selina Kyle: Oh, my god. Those scars... so many.

Batman: [Sits back, showing scars on his chest] You, uh, remember these?

Selina Kyle: [Recognizes them] I'd just gotten my retractable claws, cost a small fortune.

Batman: They worked. I had to upgrade my Kevlar body armor after that.

Selina Kyle: Uh, sorry?

Harley Quinn: "Wah, wah, wah". Crying clowns, who needs them, am I right? Ladies and jerks, there's been a slight change to tonight's program. Along with the opera robbing you -for 1,000 bucks a ticket... ...we're gonna rob you too! -Ha-ha! I'm also here for my puddin', who's been clown-napped. To get him back, I have to kill.. Eh, not you. -Maybe you. uh, you You I should kill for that stupid beard! Oh, there you are. Bruce Wayne. Nice tux. Hope it's not a rental.

[Harley Quinn laughing]

‌Bruce Wayne: Tom, get the ladies to safety.

Thomas Elliot: Okay, but I'm coming back.

Selina Kyle: What are you gonna do?

Bruce Wayne: She wants me, she'll follow me.

Selina Kyle: Don't get killed.

Harley Quinn: Hold still, you wascally wabbit.

[Bruce Wayne jumps down and the others leave and Harley Quinn wants to shoot her]

Harley Quinn: Bingo-matic.

[She wants to hit Bruce Wayne and accidentally hits one of the thief clowns]

Harley Quinn: Whoops. Sorry, Rico!

[Catwoman hits Harley Quinn with a gun rope]

Harley Quinn: Look Up Huh? What?

[Catwoman kicks Harley Quinn]

Catwoman: Your jester drag was over in the '90s, now it's just sad.

[Catwoman fights against Harley Quinn]

Harley Quinn: What is it the theater folks say? Break a face!

[Harley Quinn throws the knife and Catwoman gives way and falls down and Batman grabs Catwoman.]

Harley Quinn: Bats with Cats, now? Ugh. [imitates retching] I just threw up in my mouth a little. [Harley disappears]

Catwoman: Batman.

Batman: Lie still. You've been hurt.

Catwoman: Not that bad. Get the clown.

[Batman comes out of the hall to catch the Joker and Harley Quinn]

Joker: [Batman breaks down the door and sees Thomas Elliot shot and the Joker laughing with a gun in her hand.] Oh, boy. This does not look good, does it?

Batman: [Angry] JOKER!

Joker: You know what the joke is here [He drops the gun] I'm totally innocent. [clears throat] Ugh, that doesn't even sound right, does it? [Batman hits Joker]

Joker: [chuckling] Batsy, I was in a basement until five minutes ago. [He looks at his back] I'm also looking for Harley. Have you seen her? Stop. Stop!

[Joker screams]

Joker: Batman, stop... [spits], [panting and wheezing] Stop me if you've heard this one before. Two guys walk into a bar... [He throws Joker on the ground] I want you to break your code, but for something I actually did.

Jim Gordon: Batman, don't! I'm warning you, Batman, let him go! Do not make me do this, not over him. I won't let you throw your life away. Gotham needs Batman.

[Batman lets the Joker go and leaves, and the sound of the police car comes and Jim sees the Joker with sadness.]

Joker: [He puts his hand on his throat] That sentimental claptrap worked. [clears throat] Well, back to the grind. Who's Robin these days?

Jim Gordon: [Hits Joker] Shut your damn mouth. Strip him. Double hand and leg cuffs.

Joker: Ooh, kinky. [Joker laughing maniacally]
