## The Joker

* [Joker takes aim at "Batman's" head with a gun, but before he pulls the trigger, a bomb in "Batman's" neck explodes] ...Best gun ever! [He lifts "Batman's" head and sees Black Spider's face] [gasps and smiles] Denzel! What have they done to you? [laughs]
* I'm here, bitches! And I've got favors for everyone! [hurls out explosives]
* [to Deadshot] For someone who's not Batman, you've been a real pain in my ass!
* [to Harley Quinn] What's your hurry, Harls?

## Harley Quinn

* Anyone who throws boomerangs has some real issues letting go.
* I got an itch I thought you could help me scratch, cowboy.
* I'll kill 'im! I'll kill that bastard for what he's done ta me!
* No idea whatcha talkin' about.
* I dunno where Mister J keeps half his stuff! I just wanted a Boo-Boo Bear before they all sold out!

## Amanda Waller

* Those scumbags are trying to screw me. NO ONE SCREWS THE WALL!

## Dialogue

    The Joker: [points a gun at Deadshot] You! New guy! I don't like people touching my stuff!
    [Deadshot just walks forward and touches his forehead to the barrel]
    Deadshot: Go ahead. You're out of bullets.
    The Joker: I am not!
    Deadshot: You are. You're going to pull the trigger, and when nothing happens, I'm going to punch you in the throat and bash your brains out. Three... two... one...
    The Joker: Hold on, stop counting for a second! I know there are bullets... [fires the gun into the air] See?
    [Deadshot punches the Joker, who grabs Harley and tumbles down the laundry chute with her]
    Captain Boomerang: Mate... you just out-crazied The Joker!
    [Riddler had just administered shock treatment to the members of the Suicide Squad in order to defuse the nano-bombs implanted in their necks]
    Captain Boomerang: I never need to do that again.
    Harleen Quinzel: Are you kidding? I feel great.
    [Scene switches to an angry Amanda Waller]
    Amanda Waller: NOBODY SCREWS THE WALL!!!! [She then slams her hand on the hand the DETONATE button]
    [Scene shifts back to Arkham Asylum, showing the nano-bomb in King Shark's neck being activated]
    King Shark: Uh, guys.
    Killer Frost: [To Riddler, after realizing that the nano-bomb in King Shark's neck is still active.] Do it again.
    Riddler: I don't know. Maybe his skin is too thick?
    [King Shark's head begins swelling up, then explodes, with his flesh hitting the other members of the Suicide Squad, while Deadshot narrowly avoids being hit by King Shark's metal mask]
    Killer Frost: The Joker has a dirty bomb? That gives me the chills.
    Captain Boomerang: Ice puns? Really?
    [Deadshot climbs into bed and sleeps, but Harley Quinn crawls up behind him]
    Harley Quinn: Welcome back. Did you miss me?
    Deadshot: What do you want?
    [Deadshot rolls over to see Harley naked in front of him]
    Harley Quinn: I got an itch I thought you could help me scratch, cowboy...
    [Angry, Deadshot throws her down on the bed and pins her arms above her head]
    Harley Quinn: WHOO! Good start!
    Deadshot: Oh, what the hell...
    [He starts making out with Harley. She wraps her legs around him and they both tumble off the bed with a crash...]
    Harley Quinn: Yahtzee!
    [Harley tries to break into the Joker's cell]
    The Joker: [taps his cell walls] Sorry, hun. Bulletproof.
    Harley Quinn: Even better, puddin'. [She fires through an air hole of the cell. Joker ducks as the bullet ricochets wildly around the walls]
    The Riddler: Riddle me this: what belongs to you, but others use it more than you do?
    Amanda Waller: Your name.
    The Riddler: Huh...? You've heard that one.
    Amanda Waller: No, I have Google. Like the rest of the world.
    Harley Quinn: [on the Joker] I'm fine. We're done. He's a jerk. Whatever.
    Killer Frost: [sarcasm] Well, I'm convinced.
    Amanda Waller: You going to write a blog and expose us? That's checkmate, Batman.
    Batman: I am warning you.
    Harley Quinn: [to Captain Boomerang] Go wave your boomer-Wang at the shark guy!
    King Shark: [Aggressively] Do it and I'll bite it off!
    [all the criminals Waller assembled see each other]
    Harley Quinn: AW, CRAP! Not this again!
    Captain Boomerang: [to Deadshot] You too? It's like a bloody recurring nightmare.
    [Deadshot shows he can throw darts better than Captain Boomerang]
    Captain Boomerang: Lucky shot.
    Deadshot: Right. Let's see you do it. [Captain Boomerang throws a dart at the board, but it ricochets around the room and then flies at Deadshot's head... who just catches it]
    Captain Boomerang: Sorry, mate. Looks like that one took a bad bounce.
    [Deadshot punches Captain Boomerang]
    Deadshot: Let's call it even... mate.
    [Last lines; Batman confronts Waller in her office]
    Batman: Waller. You KNEW when you sent your little "Suicide Squad" into Arkham, they'd go off script.
    Amanda Waller: Oh, it's just you.
    Batman: When your bombs didn't dice them, you figured the SCU would. All that, just so you could kill the Riddler.
    Amanda Waller: Let's just say I break a lot of eggs to make an omelet.
    Batman: And because you're a MESSY COOK, the Riddler was able to escape.
    Amanda Waller: I got careless. My men will get Nigma next time.
    Batman: There is no next time.
    Amanda Waller: No?! We're the US government. Who's going to blow the whistle on us? The convicts? Who'd believe them? You? You're going to start a blog and expose us? [turns her chair away from him] I don't think so. That's checkmate, Batman.
    Batman: [after a short silence] I'm WARNING you.
    Amanda Waller: Enough. Don't they need you back in your squalid little city? They never did find the Joker's body, did they? [turns to find Batman has vanished] Punk. [suddenly notices a laser sight moving from her chest to between her eyes] Motherf...
    [Deadshot is aiming at her with a gun from the top of another building, with his daughter close by]
    Deadshot: Bang.
