This wasn't in the job description.
[being driven back to Arkham] After all, it's only money. [chuckles] So I'll let the taxpayers foot my bill again. Besides, it'll be nice to see the old gang.
Harley Quinn[dressed as a guard] One of them's dying to see you too, puddin'.
Harley.
Harley QuinnThe one and only.
You... you don't know how happy I am to see you.
Harley Quinn[brandishing a nightstick] Welcome to the club.
Harley, my dear, I can- (WHAM!) AH! - explain...! (POW!) OW! EEE! AH!
Your hyenas have been "watering" my plants again. One more time, and they're mulch!
Harley QuinnCome on, Red, give 'em a break. We're all bored cooped up in here!
[She summersaults backwards and grabs a dress]
Harley QuinnWhaddaya say we get dolled up and go into town?
America's most wanted women on a shopping spree. Cute. I've told you a thousand times: we have to keep a low profile. We can't attract Batman's attention until we have some kind of an edge.
[Livewire suddenly transports herself in via their toaster]
Well, ladies, meet your "edge"!
Pick up the cash and load it into the car! I'm going shopping!
Harley QuinnWhen did we become "the gang?"
Are you out of your mind?!
Harley Quinn(Thinks for a moment) ...Yeah.
So this is home sweet home, huh? I guess it's okay, if you're into green.
You're not gonna get all hissy and rude again, now that we've kissed and made-up?
No, but I could do without the mutts. (to the hyenas) Beat it!
Harley QuinnHey!
She has a point, Harls.
Harley QuinnThink Bat saw you puddy tat?
Oh he did, he did. He'd never miss a show about me, he's my biggest fan, but just in case.
HarleyHey! You're the creep who's been stealing Mister J's act!
Not me. I'm one of a kind, toots.
HarleyWhat do you want?
The inside story on the Joker. Also your phone number. [flirtatious growl.]
[confronting the Joker.] Wow! It DOES strike terror into the hearts of criminals!
Harley QuinnHe's the creep who's stealing your act!
And that's not all, Mr. Happy! [grabs Harley Quinn and starts slobbering over her.] I'm stealing your girl, too!
Harley QuinnI swear, Mr. J, I didn't encourage him.
[yanks her back into his arms.] That's okay, pooh. I know you're a one-man loon.
Aww. Sweetie got a boo-boo?
Harley QuinnAww. Creepo got a concussion?
I don't mind telling you, I really hate these check-ups. If it weren't part of the police physical, I wouldn't be here at all.
Oh, come now, Commissioner. What in this miserable world is more beautiful...
[turns around]
...THAN A NICE, BIG SMILE? (laughs)
[Gordon bolts up from the chair, but is lassoed back in by a shot from Harley.]
Harley QuinnNaughty, naughty. Jump around like that and the doctor won't give you a lollipop.
[Harley cuddles up to the Joker wearing a nightgown]
Harley[seductively] A-hem. [The Joker ignores her] A-HEM!
Go away! I'm busy.
HarleyAww, c'mon, Mr. J., don't you wanna rev up your Harley? Vroom-vroom!
[The Joker pushes her aside, annoyed]
Batman was right! That teeth gag WAS predictable. Old hat. It's time I capped off our feud with his ultimate humiliation... followed by his deliciously delirious death.
HarleyWhy don't ya just shoot him?
[appalled] "Just shoot him"?! Know this, my sweet: the death of Batman must be nothing less than a masterpiece! The triumph of my sheer comic genius over his ridiculous mask and gadgets!
HarleyIt's just me, B-Man. No Joker, no gas bombs, no city in peril - just you, that tank and me.
Why?
HarleyTo 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.
HarleyYeah, 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?
HarleyRight-a-rooney!
[Batman begins, amazingly, to laugh]
HarleyI've never seen you laugh before! I don't think I like it!
[Batman continues, laughing even louder, cynically, cruelly and sardonically]
Harley[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.
HarleyThat'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.
HarleySTOP 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]
Harley[softly] The circus...he said it was the circus...
He's got a million of them, Harley.
[Harley pauses before wiping away her tears]
HarleyYOU'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.
Harley[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.]
HarleyBut puddin', I don't understand! Didn't you want to finally get rid of Batman?
Only if I do it, idiot!
HarleyBut it's still your plan, see? [shows him his blueprints] Everything just like you said, except I hung the guy upside down so he sees the little frowns as little smiles! Now it all works!
Except you had to explain it to me! If you have to explain a joke, THERE IS NO JOKE! [tears up the blueprints in anger]
Harley[grabbing a swordfish to defend herself] Now calm down, puddin'...
You've forgotten what I told you a long time ago. One of the painful truths of comedy: YOU ALWAYS TAKE SHOTS FROM FOLKS WHO JUST DON'T GET THE JOKE!
[He snatches the swordfish and whacks her with it, sending her tumbling out the window]
And don't call me "puddin'".
Harley Quinn(Bandaged in bed at Arkham, after her fall from the window, thinking) Never again. No more obsession, no more craziness, no more Joker. I finally see that slime for what he is...a murderous, manipulative, irredeemable...
[Sees a single rose in a vase near her bed, with a note reading "Feel better soon. - J" attached]
Harley[Smiling] angel!
