Can you stop it?
In a minute you'll either know, or won't care.
I get it, we'll live to play another day.
[Batman places her in handcuffs as the police arrive]
What's this?
My kind of game. And you lost.
After what I just did for you, you don't trust me?
I might have been knocked out twice tonight, but I still have my long-term memory.
Nightwing! What are you doing here?
Oh, just following a pattern of obsessive behavior instilled in me at an early age.
You should work on your stealth skills. I heard you coming halfway across the rooftop.
Good to see you too.
You all right?
Yeah, what's a couple of ribs?
[being summoned as Robin] This isn't a good time.
I'm not making a schedule.
You're late.
Excuse me for having a life.
Where's the Joker?!
I-I don't know!
[Batman slams him against the wall]
Daddy!
Remember now?!
Batman, not like this. Not in front of his family.
The sooner he talks, the sooner we leave.
[sees Connor's son starting to cry] I'm outta here now!
Batgirl! I still can't believe it! How could you keep something like this from me?!
You weren't exactly honest with me either.
But you told him! [points at Batman]
He knew.
It wasn't my place to tell you.
But it was your place to put her in danger?!
It wasn't like that! I volunteered!
You think you did! You don't know him like I do. He manipulates, pulls strings! Anything to get what he wants!
I thought we had the same goals.
Things change. I changed. The game's over, Batman. I quit.
[trying to stop him from leaving] Robin, wait--
[Robin punches Batman, knocking him down, and Batgirl gasps in shock. Robin scornfully removes his mask and cape before leaping away off the building]
[answers phone] Hello, Dullsville Central.
Is Clark Kent there?
No, may I ask who's calling?
A friend. It's critical that he gets this message.
Shoot.
Livewire has escaped in Gotham. If he wants to get on top of the story, he needs to get there, right away. Do you understand?
Who is this? Sounds like a cape to me.
Easy, Harvey, it's the good cop. I thought I'd better find you before the Judge did.
Don't do any favours!
We have to get him out.
Got a mop?
Whoo! I like a girl who plays rough.
But... she just tried to kill you!
You're young. You'll learn.
Who are you?
[sinister] They call me... "Yellow-Skinned Wacky Man"! But I prefer "the Creeper."
Call Arkham, quick.
Jilted madman stalks crazy clown girl - film at eleven!
"Film at eleven"? You don't think... ?
The chemicals in the vat could have interacted with Joker's laughing gas. And he had Ryder's credit card.
You mean... That's Jack Ryder? The news guy?
What's left of him.
[re. The Creeper.] Which way did he go?
That way.
It's just me, B-Man. No Joker, no gas bombs, no city in peril - just you, that tank and me.
Why?
To show Mr. J I could really pull off one of his plans! See, he could never get these fishies to smile, but then I had the bright idea of hanging the victim - that's you - upside down. That way to you, it'll look like they're smiling! Clever?
[deadpan] Brilliant.
Yeah, yeah, I can tell you're less than thrilled. You know, for what it's worth, I actually enjoyed some of our romps. But there comes a time when a gal wants more, and now all this gal wants is to settle down with her loving sweetheart.
[incredulous] You and the Joker?
Right-a-rooney!
[Batman begins, amazingly, to laugh]
I've never seen you laugh before! I don't think I like it!
[Batman continues, laughing even louder, cynically, cruelly and sardonically]
[deeply unsettled] Cut it out! You're giving me the creeps!
You little fool! The Joker doesn't love anything except himself. Wake up, Harleen! He had you pegged for hired help the minute you walked into Arkham.
That's not... no. No! He told me things! Secret things he never told anybody!
Was it his line about the abusive father? [Harley looks shocked] Or the one about the runaway mom? He's gained a lot of sympathy with that one.
STOP IT! YOU'RE MAKING ME CONFUSED!
What was it he told that one parole officer? Oh, yes. "There was only one time I ever saw dad really happy. He took me to the ice show when I was seven..."
[Harley begins to sob]
[softly] The circus...he said it was the circus...
He's got a million of them, Harley.
[Harley pauses before wiping away her tears]
YOU'RE WRONG! MY PUDDIN' DOES LOVE ME, HE DOES! You're the problem! And now you're gonna die and make everything right!
[She starts to lower him into the tank, laughing softly.]
Except he'll never believe you did it.
[stops] Huh? Sure he will!
How's Joker going to know I'm really gone? All those fish will leave are scraps of bone and cloth. Anyone can fake that. [Harley's eyes flick to his utility belt, draped over a counter.] True, you've got my belt, but it's not the same as a body. He'll never buy it.
[Harley bites her nails nervously, pondering her next move.]
