Batman (1989)/Transcript

Batman: Excuse me.
[Joker looks off to his right. Batman stands there, nonchalant.]
Batman: Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
[Beat. Batman swings out a fist and it connects with the Joker's jaw, sending him flying into, then bouncing off, the bell, right back into Batman, who punches him in the head, then grabs him by the lapels and pulls him in close.]
Batman: I'm gonna kill you!
Joker: You idiot! You made me, remember? You dropped me into that vat of chemicals! That wasn't easy to get over, and don't think that I didn't try...
Batman: I know you did.
[Batman punches him in the abdomen, then sends him careening through a wall. Batman pulls him back out, then punches him in the face again, sending Joker through another wall. As Batman approaches, Joker struggles to his feet, holding his nose and moaning in pain. He 'spits out' a pair of gag teeth then, taking advantage of the momentary distraction, punches Batman's abs... before he's quickly clutching his hand, obviously in pain. Batman stalks towards him.]
Batman: You killed my parents.
Joker: What? [He backs away, briefly spitting out blood, before cackling again.] What are you talking about?
Batman: I made you? You made me first.
[They continue out onto the building's balcony.]
Joker: Hey, Bat-Brain! I mean, I was a kid when I killed your parents. I mean, I say "I made you", you gotta say "you made me", and... how childish can you get?
[They're right at the edge now. Joker pulls a pair of glasses from his pocket and puts them on.]
Joker: You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses, huh, wouldja? Heh?
[Batman socks him across the jaw, sending him flying. Batman and Vicki look over the edge and the Joker's gloved hands pop up, pulling them down with him. The Joker cackles.]
Joker: What are you laughing at? Let me lend you a hand. (Vicki screams) Lend you a hand! They don't make them like they used to!
Hey, Batsy!
There he is! Down there!
It's time to retire.
Feel free to drop in.
Sometimes I just kill myself!
Hold on!
Harvey Dent: Our police have rounded up all of the Joker's men. The reign of crime is over. Public safety in Gotham City is no longer a laughing matter.
Aren't you covering the press conference?
No.
What about our Pulitzer Prize?
What about us?
What about your picture of Batman?
Take care.
Harvey Dent: We received a letter from Batman. (reads letter) "Please inform the citizens of Gotham that Gotham City's earned a rest from crime. But if the forces of evil should rise again to cast a shadow on the heart of the city… call me. "
Alexander Knox: Question. How do we call him?
He gave us a signal.
Alfred Pennyworth: I thought champagne would be in order, ma'am.
Vicki Vale: Hi, Alfred.
Mr. Wayne told me to tell you… that he might be a little late.
I'm not a bit surprised.
