[Joker] All the old familiar places!
[Fox] Stand by.
[glass shattering]
[SWAT] Red team! More secure, hostages are safe!
[prisoner] Give it to me.
You can tell them I took it by force.
Give it to me.
And I'll do what you shoulda did 10 minutes ago.
[Batman grunting]
[Joker] We really should stop this fighting. Otherwise, we'll miss the fireworks.
[Batman] There won't be any fireworks!
[Joker] And here we go.
[eerie music]
[Batman] What were you trying to prove?
That deep down, everyone's as ugly as you?
[Joker grunts]
You're alone.
[Joker] You can't rely on anyone these days. You gotta do everything yourself.
Don't we?!
That's okay. I came prepared.
It's a funny world we live in.
Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?
[Batman] No.
But I know how you got these.
[Joker cackling]
[Batman grunting]
[Joker groans]
[Joker] You...
You just couldn't let me go, could you?
[Batman grunting]
This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
You truly are
incorruptible, aren't you?
Huh?
You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness.
And I won't kill you because you're just too much fun.
[Joker laughs]
I think you and I are destined to do this forever.
[Batman] You'll be in a padded cell forever.
[Joker] Maybe we could share one. [Batman] You'll be in a padded cell forever.
[Joker] You know they'll be doubling up the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds.
[Batman] This city...
just showed you...
that it's full of people...
ready to believe in good.
[Joker] Until their spirit breaks completely.
Until they get a good look at the real Harvey Dent, huh?
And all the heroic things he's done.
[Joker laughs]
You didn't think I'd risk losing the battle for Gotham's soul in a fistfight with you?
No.
You need an ace in the hole;
mine's Harvey.
[Batman] What did you do?
[Joker] I took Gotham's White Knight...
and I...
brought him down to our level.
It wasn't hard. See, madness, as you know, is...
like gravity:
all it takes is a little push.
[Joker cackling]
