The Joker[laughing] And now people of Gotham City, the moment you have all been waiting for. [Continuously Laughing] The grand finale! The climax of my performance! The zenith of my career! The unmasking of Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder!
The JokerHello, kiddies! A-meet the Joker!
JokerWe who laugh and run away, live to laugh another day!
JokerThen, after I've gotten rid of Batman and Robin for good, I will rule the waves. Me, the Joker, king of the surf and all the surfers. Then, Gotham City! Later, the world!
JokerBatman and Boy Wonder? Are your blindfolds in place? Very well, then. Ask yourselves, "What is wrong with this sentence?" "He who laughs last laughs good!" [laughs]
[Batman turns off the television.]
Holy grammar! Is that all?
He who laughs last laughs best, not good! Best! Best! Best!
Do you suppose "blindfold" might have something to do with it?
If I may venture an opinion, sir, I think Master Dick may have put his finger on it.
Blindfold?
No, sir. Grammar. The sentence was gramatically incorrect. One does not laugh good, sir. One laughs well.
Why, that's it, Alfred! Laughs well! Laughwell! Professor James J. Laughwell!
Holy safari! The one that just got back from Africa, with a collection of rare masks and objects of art!
That's where the blindfold part would come in, sir.
And they're being stored at the Lasts Longer Warehouse! To the Batmobile!
Joker[laughing] Have a sneeze on me, Batman!
[Joker administers sneezing powder upon Batman, which has no effect.]
No use, Joker! I knew you'd employ your sneezing powder, so I took an Anti-Allergy Pill! Instead of a sneeze, I've caught you cold!
Hey boss, hey boss, boss, boss, boss, look, look, look, they're up in the chimney!
JokerI know that you fool!
Well how'd they get up there?
Joker[Sarcastically] They took the elevator, what do you think!
It's a cool pad, Joker.
JokerHuh, all you've seen of this cool pad, Cornelia, is that mirror. Vanity is a waste of time. I never look at myself.
Well I'm younger, Joker, and a girl; and it is a cool pad.
JokerWell, it will do for the purpose.
JokerOh, The caped crusaders don't know what's in store for them. At long last, I'll have them out of my way permanently.
That's a long time, Joker.
JokerThe proceeds from my zodiac crimes will give me what I've always wanted. Complete control of Gotham City. Oh, yes. The caped crusaders are now solidly star-crossed. Venus. Venus, will you stop bouncing?
Your orders, Joker. A larcenous mind in a limber body. we must stay trim.
JokerNo.
Batman's no fool.
JokerHe's no match for me with the stars as my guide. Oh, get the door, Mercury.
Freight shipment. Collect. Two thousand four hundred fifty dollars.
What?
JokerJust pay him, Mercury. Quick, give me a hand with this. Ha-ha-ha! Careful now. Careful.
What's inside, Joker? $2000 is a lot of money!
JokerAh, this merchandise is WORTH $2000!
[Penguin pops out of the box.]
It's worth $200,000, you cheapskate! At least you could have sent me a plane ticket!
JokerWe had to get you into Gotham City without anyone knowing about it, Pengy. Especially Batman.
You better have something good cooked up for that caped creep.
JokerOh, don't you worry, Pengy. The pot's being put on the fire right now, and Batman's in it.
Oh, you are a man after my own heart, Joker.
JokerBlack, eh?
Black as pitch.
JokerWhere are Uranus and Mars? They should have completed Operation Laundry Bag by now.
Maybe they ran into some trouble with the prison guards.
JokerThey better not. Operation Laundry Bag must be successful... in order for me to complete Aquarius and Capricorn. The final two crimes of my zodiac. Ha, ha. They're here. Yeah. Well, where is he?
In the bag.
JokerStupid. Why didn't you let him out?
We didn't have a chance. Warden Crichton's boys chased us all the way from the prison.
JokerWell, quick, help me get him out.
Waugh, waugh, waugh. You dolts. You buffoons. I might have suffocated.
I'm sorry, Pengy. I didn't mean to...
"Pengy"? Mr. Penguin to you, sir.
JokerNumskull, get Penguin's clothes for him! Hurry!
Get my clothes for me? I've got them on!
JokerOh, so you do! For a minute, I thought those were prison issue!
Prison issue?! This sartorial triumph, a prison issue?!
JokerWell, sometime I'll give you the name of my tailor!
Sometime I'll give you a piece of my mind! Like right now!!
I don't have any other clothes for him, Joker. But... But I got news for you. Saturn called from the other hideout. Venus and the Caped Crusaders are gone.
JokerWell, of course they're gone. The clam made a good meal out of them. Ha-ha-ha!
The Batmobile's gone too, from outside. The clam could haven't eaten that.
JokerAre you trying to tell me Batman, Robin and Venus could all have escaped my clam trap?
Yeah, that's the way it looks from here, Joker.
JokerOh, Pengy. Then I really need your help.
To do what?
JokerTo terminate Batman once and for all. While I conclude my Zodiac Crimes.
Now you're talking. Together to the end, Jokey. Batman's end.
JokerEwww. Well, that's terrible. Terrible, Wayne. Why, even a 3-year old could do better than that. Here, let me show you. [Joker works with the clay and ruins the sculpture.] Ah, there, that's more like it.
Yes. I see what you mean. That's about the level of a 3-year old.
JokerI do the jokes around here, Wayne!
I say that was one of your better ones.
JokerWhere's Bruce Wayne?
Mr. Wayne is not at home, sir.
JokerToo bad. I'll get my revenge later. Right now, I'll settle for cash. Where's the safe?
My duties do not include aiding and abetting thievery.
JokerOh, no? [points a gun at Baby Jane's head]
...right this way, sir.
[The Joker is helplessly stuck on the Bat-pole.]
JokerAlfred, old pal! Have pity! [whimpers]
We Anglo-finks have a long memory.
[Alfred sends Joker screaming back down the Bat-pole.]
[to himself] I really shouldn't take pleasure in another creature's misfortunes. But, uh, occasionally, one may be forgiven for a slight twinge of satisfaction.
JokerLet bygones be bygones. I'd like to shake hands with both of you. Can't we be friends?
I'd rather shake hands with a spitting cobra!
You're being cynical, Robin. To err is human, to forgive...divine.
...
[After being buzzed by Joker while shaking hands] Another...practical joke, Joker.
JokerNot exactly Batman, it's my deadly joker buzzer, one by one your five senses will leave you. Then your lungs will collapse, and certainly you'll be KAPUT, FINI, DEFUNCT!
JokerHa-ha-ha! It's time for my ultimate ultimatum. Hear this. Now hear this. All citizens of Gotham City and the world. this is the Joker speaking to you from outer space. From inner outer space. Yes, advising you to... What's the matter, Verdigris? We've passed the city. We're headed right back to Flying Circus Hill. and the abandoned launching pad factory. Oh. Depress the Aerothermo Turret Resojets. Accelerate the Isothermal Oxyacetylene Vaporometers.
Huh?
JokerStep on the gas!
This, uh, thingamajig is stuck here.
JokerBut we're headed right back where we started. Ooh! Ooh!
Well, at least it was a soft landing, poopsie.
JokerYes, but on the wrong planet. I wanted to rule the world from Mars! I like the looks of that place!
[Batman and Robin suddenly appear]
Yes, I think you'd be more comfortable there at the moment, Joker.
