• [while posing as a blackjack dealer] 

  The Joker : Try your luck, friend?

  Bruce Wayne : Why not?

  The Joker : Say, don't I know you...? Sure, Bruce Wayne! Ah, so this is how your family made all those billions.

• Cameron Kaiser : [cutting the ribbon]  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, one and all... to Joker's Wild!

  The Joker : Say *what*?

  Summer Gleeson : Ugh, that's disgusting!

  Cameraman : [whispering]  Psst, Summer! We're on the air!

  Summer Gleeson : Oh! Uh... there you have it! Let's get a reaction from the crowd. Mr. Wayne?

  Bruce Wayne : [equally nauseated]  No comment...

• [an unconscious Batman awakens to find himself bound and trussed...] 

  The Joker : Wakey, wakey! I thought you'd like to be conscious for your own demise. I really put some effort into this one...

  [Batman looks around and finds himself on a giant colorful roulette wheel; even more colorful is the massive pile of explosives to which the wheel is connected] 

  The Joker : When I spin the wheel, you, the casino, and that strutting fool Kaiser will all be blown sky high! Not bad, eh?

  Batman : You won't get Kaiser. He's been playing you for a patsy.

  The Joker : Eh?

  Batman : He's counting on you to blow this place up, so he can collect the insurance. By the time you get clear, Kaiser will be miles away, laughing at you.

  The Joker : I hate it when you make sense!

  [the Joker disarms the explosives and removes the connections to the wheel] 

  The Joker : I'll settle my score with Kaiser, man to clown. But that still doesn't let you off the hook!

  [He starts up the roulette wheel and tosses a grenade into it] 

  The Joker : How 'bout that, Bats? Looks like your number's up!

• Batman : If I didn't know better, I'd say you wanted this place destroyed.

  Cameron Kaiser : After spending 300 million to build it? That's not good business, my friend.

  Batman : I've seen the unpaid bills. Building this casino has bankrupted you. That's why you turned it into a target for the Joker. Once he destroys it, you'll collect the insurance money.

  Cameron Kaiser : You hit the jackpot, Batman. But I've got too much at stake to be stopped now.

• Bruce Wayne : I'm convinced it wasn't Kaiser's original goal to make a Joker-themed casino.

  [pulling a piece of wallpaper back] 

  Bruce Wayne : See?

  Alfred Pennyworth : But why the deception?

  Bruce Wayne : That's what I intend to find out.

• Bruce Wayne : And you are?

  The Joker : Oh, just a nameless clown, shuffling my life away.

  Bruce Wayne : Too bad it has to be in such gruesome surroundings.

  The Joker : Don't care for the decor?

  Bruce Wayne : Not hardly. All those horrible faces grinning at me. That would do things to my mind after a while.

  The Joker : [muttering under his breath]  Who says you have one?
