You're both beginning to remind me of Sisyphus after a hard day pushing his boulder up a mountain. But me, I could keep this up all night.
Wait. It seems that magic always has a price.
And your point is...?
What would I have to give to make you lift your spell on Diana?
Well, now you're getting interesting. I want something from you that's very precious. Something you've worked very hard to conceal. Something when gone, you can never regain. Something so shattering...
[cut to Batman at a mike]
[singing] Am I blue? Am I blue? Ain't these tears in my eyes telling you... Am I blue? Am I blue? Ain't these tears In my eyes tellin' you? Am I blue? You'd be too If each plan That you had done fell through...
[Zatanna sniffles]
[singing] There was a time I was Your only one...
[Circe sobbing]
But now I'm the sad And lonely one...
[Zatanna is listening to Batman sing as her eyes tear up. She produces a handkerchief to dab at her eyes... then passes it to Circe, who is also crying at the performance.]
Beautiful.
And you'll keep your part of the bargain?
A deal's a deal. He can stop now.
Not on your life!
[Both keep watching the performance.]
[singing] I should say...
[Wonder Woman grunts]
Circe.
Remember when Penguin tried to kidnap that singer?
Ricky what's-his-name? So?
I spent a month on stakeout. Must've heard that song a hundred times.
[to Batman, after he leaves the stage] Is there anything you can't do?
There's one thing I've never been very good at. Saying "thank you." [they share a smile]
And, truthfully, it's all still pretty much of a blur to me. Did I miss anything?
Not really. The important thing is you're safe.
Yeah. Of course, that's not the only important thing.
[Wonder Woman humming "Am I Blue?"]
