How do you think I found this place? The phone book? I had help. Inside help.
My premonition! I knew I was right! Which one of you louses is it?!
I know it ain't you, Rhino! You're too stupid to be a traitor!
But whoever it is, they're gonna pay big time! Who is it?! You don't talk, you get the ultimate massage!
Maybe you just get run over by a truck.
[Rhino gets ready to pull the lever to lower Batman to a pit of mannequins with razor-sharp fingernails]
This is gettin' old, Bats. Last chance, who's the traitor?
VentriloquistNo, no! He's lying! I told you when he came into my room!
So what? Maybe you did 'cause I had ya cornered. Heard ya talkin' to Batman.
[uses his own ventriloquism to imitate the Ventriloquist] Shut up, you blockhead!
Ventriloquist
It wasn't me! I didn't say that! My lips didn't move!
So what?! You're a ventriloquist! You're also a lyin' yellow liver-bellied two-face!
Ventriloquist
No, Scarface! I'm loyal! I'd never!
He's been feeding me information, in return for legal protection. [imitates the Ventriloquist again] You're going up the river, sawdust-for-brains!
Why, I oughta...! Waste the floor-flusher! Come on, I gave an order! ICE HIM! DO IT! DO IT NOW!
MMuggsy
But, boss, we ventilate the Ventriloquist, your, y'know...
I'M SURROUNDED BY TRAITORS! Okay, fine. Ya want something done right, do it yourself! [aims his gun at the Ventriloquist]
Calm down, pussycat. We're all friends here. Dummy, don't keep our pretty guest in the dark.
Ventriloquist
Yes, sir, Mr. Scarface. [turns on the lot, revealing him and Scarface]
[gasps] You gotta be kidding. [laughs]
What's she laughin' at? My fly ain't open, is it?
Ventriloquist
No, sir.
Oh come on, you know! [in a goofy voice] "What's the gag?"
Can it, sister. This is Scarface you're dealing with, and I don't stand for no disrespect.
Ventriloquist
I'd do as he says, ma'am. Mr. Scarface can be quite insistent.
I don't think anyone's talking to you.
Ventriloquist
No, sir. No, sir.
Right... so, what do you want with me?
My boys happened to be in the museum when they saw your little set-to with Miss Ronnie V. They also seen you licking your whiskers at the sight of Ronnie's pretty sparklers.
[the Ventrloquist pulls out an envelope from his coat]
So what if I could provide you with a foolproof plan to snatchin' those rocks with no risk of you gettin' caught?
Pass. Kitty's been staying it at night. It's not the greatest, but it beats the pound, if you know what I mean.
Now, that's a darn shame. And I thought for sure you'd want a chance to get even with the Vreelands. Not just for yourself, ya understand, but for all those poor little stuffed critters what never had the chance to fight back.
It's a 50/50 cut. Take it or leave it? You in or what?
[Selina picks up the envelope]
[Catwoman crushes Scarface under some logs]
That's one way to remove a splinter. What's wrong, Ventriloquist? Cat got your tongue?
Ventriloquist
Please, I never hurt you. Scarface, he's another person, not me, really.
But he's inside you somewhere. And I'm going to keep scratching until I find him.
He threatens us! Takes away our privileges, even when we're good!
LBLyle Bolton
We've heard enough of this nonsense.
JCJonathon Crane
He says scum like us must be kept in line! That's why he chains us down at night and electrifies our doors!
He held me over a can filled with a termites! Ya hear me?! TERMITES!
Ventriloquist
A monster!
JCJonathon Crane
Keep him away!
LBLyle Bolton
SHUT UP, ALL OF YOU! [tries to attack them, but is stopped and restrained] You're all scum! You should be beaten within an inch of your misbegotten lives!
BBartholomew
I've seen enough! [pounds the gravel] Lyle Bolton, you're dismissed!
LBLyle Bolton
Before I came here, Arkham was a revolving door for every maniac in Gotham. I kept them in! ME! Now I realize I was wrong to punish those pathetic miscreants! THEY'RE ONLY SYMPTOMS! YOU'RE THE CAUSE! THE GUTLESS POLICE, MINDLESS BUREAUCRATS, AND CODDLING DOCTORS! YOU SHOULD ALL BE LOCKED UP IN A CAGE WITHOUT A KEY!
