Scenes with Poison Ivy 13
Poison Ivy
[chuckles] Batman. A late night rendezvous? To what do I owe the honor?
[struggling against Ivy's giant flytrap] Harvey Dent!
Poison Ivy
Oh, the poor district attorney. I hear he's not expected to live. Oh, it's so sad... [feigns crying, which quickly turns to laughter]
Poison Ivy
Oh, please, call me Poison Ivy. You see, Harvey had to pay for his crime.
Poison Ivy
Why, murder, of course. Plowing up a field of beautiful wildflowers for that silly penitentiary of his. This little rose would be extinct today if I hadn't saved my precious from those horrible bulldozers. The blood of those flowers are on his hands. So his fate was sealed [applies lipstick] ...with a kiss. And now, so is yours. [Ivy's plant holds Batman still as she kisses him; he tries to spit away the poison] Oh, what's wrong? Afraid I have cooties? [laughs] Oh, now you've gone and hurt my feelings. Too bad. I was going to share the antidote with you. Lovely fragrance, don't you think? I call it "Rose From the Dead".
TMrs. Thomas
You wicked, evil-
Poison Ivy
Evil, Mrs. Thomas? I don't control a company that leveled a thousand-year-old forest for a strip mine! THAT'S evil! [sprays a gas which causes Mrs. Thomas to become petrified; steals a pair of earrings] You and your kind owe Mother Nature a big debt, and I am here to make sure you pay up.
Poison Ivy
Right now, the bark is merely exoskeletal. It will take months of additional spraying before the transformations become irreversible. But, of course, I have the patience of a redwood.
And the convictions of a fanatic.
Poison Ivy
Well, if you're not going to be part of the solution, you're obviously part of the problem. Ladies? [Ivy's henchwomen begin to spray Batman with the growth formula] This spray is triple-strength, Batman. It will start the transformation without any preliminaries. [Nothing seems to happen to Batman as he unties his hands] He should be sprouting leaves by now.
[Unties his hands and stands up, blocking the spray with his cape as he advances] You made your secret too accessible, Ivy! I coated my outfit with a herbicidal antidote!
Poison Ivy
Keep spraying! [Violet and Lily back away, still spraying, but Batman subdues them both]
Poison Ivy
[as Joker changes the channel in the TV] Hey, I was watching that.
And now you're watching this.
Poison Ivy
Change it back.
Nope, nope, nope, nope, don't want to.
Poison Ivy
Guard.
SGSecurity Guard
What's the problem?
Don't look now, Sonny Jim, but the plant lady's gone whackers again.
Poison Ivy
He started it. I was just sitting here.
That's right, you're always blaming me. And the children wonder why we fight.
CKCameron Kaiser
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...the Joker's Wild!
[Cameron Kaiser cuts the ribbon and unveils a casino with a gigantic Joker head. He is seen spoken to by Summer Gleeson]
CCameraman
Psst, Summer. We're on the air.
' Oh Uh... there you have it. Let's get a reaction from the guests. Mr. Wayne?
Mr. Kaiser, why build a casino seemingly in honor of one of history's most notorious outlaws?
CKCameron Kaiser
Summer, please. Wild Joker is a classic symbol, long associated with cards and games. I can't help it if there's a some passing resemblance to some criminal fruitcake.
[Joker smashes the television]
How dare that smug, preening fool try to cash in on MY image!
Poison Ivy
Now who should lighten up?
Don't get cute with me, Red. He's ripping me off! I'll protest! Yeah! I'll sue! Then I'll rip his lungs out! And I will, too!
Poison Ivy
It's been a long time Harvey. You're still looking...halfway decent.
Half of me wants to strangle ya.
Poison Ivy
And what's the other part want?
Poison Ivy
[to the others] We used to date.
[Poison Ivy trips the alarm, spoiling and hers and Harley Quinn's separate robberies] Nice going, butterfingers. Why not turn on the Bat-Signal while you're at it?
Poison Ivy
I wasn't TRYING to get caught!
Could've fooled me. Hey, aren't you that plant lady Poison Oakie?
Poison Ivy
Ivy! Poison IVY, not Oakie!
Sorry! Harley Quinn, please to meet ya!
[Poison Ivy is about to give an injection to Harley Quinn]
I hate shots! I hate shots!
Poison Ivy
Now, now. You're not immune to poison like I am, and you won't last ten minutes here in Toxic Acres without my antidote. [gives the injection]
Oooh! Whew, you'd think after livin' with Mr. J, I'd be used to a little pain.
Poison Ivy
Why do you put up with that clown?
Don't get me wrong. My puddin's a little rough sometimes, but he loves me, really.
Poison Ivy
[sarcastically] Sure he does. You're just one big, forgiving doormat, aren't you?
I am NOT a doormat! ...Am I?
Poison Ivy
If you had a middle name, it would be Welcome. But cheer up, kid. You just need some lessons in good old female self-esteem. In other words, let's play with the boys on our terms.
Poison Ivy
That should keep you big strong men busy while we weak little girls loot your trophy room.
Gee, Ives, you got style.
[sighs] No offense, Ives, but I'm not very hungry. Somehow I don't feel like my old perky self. Something's missing.
Poison Ivy
[slams her form on Harley's plate] Will you stop?! I can't believe you're still mooning over that psychotic creep!
Well, maybe I'd feel better if I knew he missed me, too.
[to Poison Ivy] I remember when I would go driving like this with Mr. J.
Poison Ivy
[imitating Harley Quinn] "Mr. J, Mr. J." Oh, change the record, Harl. You wanna be some wacko's victim the rest of your life?
And so it's Batman's fault you lead a life of crime?
Poison Ivy
He should have let me bump off Harvey Dent. We'd all have been better off - wouldn't we, Harv?
[muttering while flipping his coin] Why, you rotten little...
But Miss Isley, isn't the real motivation for your crimes your obsession with plants? That you prefer them to people?
Poison Ivy
I love plants, honey, but a rose is a rose.
Then it doesn't bother you when someone, let's say the judge here, [plucks the flower from the Joker's robe] ruthlessly plucks a defenceless flower from the warm green earth?
Poison Ivy
No!
Even knowing he's given it his death sentence? That its petals must die? [starts pulling its petals out]
Poison Ivy
Stop it...!
Poison Ivy
One by one, withering, falling. One by one till it's all gone, honey.
[She crushes the flower so that it crumbles apart. Ivy attacks her, and the Scarecrow and Mad Hatter rush in to restrain her]
You look beautiful when you're angry.
[Ivy smacks the Ventriloquist in the face, and Scarface laughs]
You haven't changed a bit.
Poison Ivy
Yes, I have. I meant it when I said I wanted a family that loves me. I just wanted it on my terms.
Poison Ivy
Well, that's your opinion. Probably the last one you'll ever have, too.
