How can I get to be a great magician like you, Jekko?
Well, there are three steps! Step one: run away. Step two: find a magician with a great act. And step three: steal it.
[on TV, reporting about the Mayor's missing son] The Mayor declined, however, to confirm that his son Jordan was missing.
Missing?
It's me, Jekko. I ran away.
You did WHAT?!?
I want to be a magician, like you.
Why, you... [laughs] Well, kid, you got step one right. Come on in. I've been thinking about a protege.
[Batman is trapped inside a tank filled with water, complete with a straitjacket and leg restraints]
For your viewing pleasure, we present... the infamous water tank trap! The great Houdini survived such a test. Dare we demand less of the Batman?
I don't like this, Jekko.
Quiet, kid, it's a free ticket.
[Batman manages to free the sleeves of the jacket]
[clapping] He did it! He got free!
They don't make straitjackets like they used to. I should know.
[Batman wriggles out of the jacket and undoes the leg restraints, but struggles to break the glass]
He can't get out! What's the trick?
That's just it! THERE IS NO TRICK!
No! He'll drown!
[Jordan grabs an axe and strikes the side of the tank to try and free Batman, but "Jekko" takes the axe away]
That's why they call it a finale! [throws down the axe and discards his Jekko the Clown mask] Now sit down and enjoy the show!
