“Make 'Em Laugh” quotes from Batman: The Animated Series

Disturbance reported at the top of the Crown restaurant. Suspect is a male costumed extremist armed with what appears to be a... ketchup gun.

Batman

It's going to be one of those nights.

So long, suckers! Parting is such "sweet-and-sour" sorrow. [Batman yanks away his loot bag] What's this? Ah! The big bad Bat-guy. I knew you'd "ketchup" to me sooner or later. How I've "relished" this meeting. You, the dynamic Dark Knight, versus me, the conceptual Condiment King! Come, Batman. Let's see if you can "cut the mustard".

Batman

Quiet! [punches the King in the stomach]

[slumps to ground, gasping] You hit me!

Batman

Now listen, Mustard Man, or whatever you call yourself. You're obviously new at this, so I'm willing to go easy on you, provided you give back the loot and never even think about doing this again. Deal?

I don't get it. Buddy's just thrown his entire career away. The network's cancelling his show and the restaurant's suing him for a million dollars. Why did he do it? It just doesn't make sense.
