[There are two boats in Gotham Harbor, a yeoman approaches the captain]
Sir, the whole boat is rigged to explode! And I found this! [displays a detonator]
[Meanwhile, all the passengers are in the seating area, the intercom turns on]
Greetings from the Joker. "Why so serious?" Anyway, we have a boat of civilians and a boat of prison inmates. I will blow up both boats at midnight.
Oh, my God!
Joker However, each boat has a detonator that will blow up the opposite boat. If one boat decides to blow up the other boat prior to midnight, I will not blow up the boat that blows up the other boat. It's quite the moral quandary, is it not?
Then let's vote on neither boat blowing up.
No, he said we decide.
Then I decide that neither boat blows up!
Wait, wait...so, we vote?
No, we...we just press a button, I think.
I don't understand. What does this prove, exactly?
Uh, Mister Joker, sir? We came to a consensus: we vote that neither boat should blow up.
[The passengers agree]
That's not a choice!
Uh..uh, you better explain it again then, I guess.
[sighs] I will blow up both the boats-
Oh my God!
-unless, UNLESS, one boat blows up the other boat first.
Uh, w-what are the other options?
There are no other options.
Ask him when both boats blow up.
MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT! MIDNIGHT!
Alright folks, that gives us a good 15 minutes. Everyone, into the lifeboats!
No, no lifeboats! I said that you couldn't use them.
You never said that!
I did, way back in the beginning.
You better go over the rules again.
[clearly exasperated] Oh, for H- it's a catch 22! Look, there are two boats. At midnight—
[Batman cuts him off by hitting him with a board]
