[Batman slams the Joker's head into the table]
    The Joker: [groggy] Ugh... Never start with the head! The victim gets all... fuzzy. He can't feel the next...
    ';[Batman punches the Joker's hand; the Joker pauses for effect]
    The Joker: See?
    Batman: You wanted me. Here I am.
    The Joker: I wanted to see what you'd do. And you didn't disappoint. You let five people die. Then, you let Dent take your place; even to a guy like me, that's cold!
    Batman: Where's Dent?
    The Joker: Those mob fools want you gone so they can go back to the way things were, but I know the [bad word]  There's no going back. You've changed things. Forever.
    Batman: Then why do you want to kill me?
    The Joker: [laughs] I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no… no! No, you… [bad word]  me.
    Batman: You're garbage who kills for money.
    The Joker: Don't talk like you're one of them! You're not... even if you'd like to be. To them you're just a freak, like me. They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out. Like a leper. See, their morals, their "code"... it's a bad joke, dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these uh, these "civilized people", they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve.
    [Batman grabs the Joker by the lapels and lifts him up]
    Batman: Where's Dent?
    The Joker: You have all [bad word]  and you think they'll save you!
    [Batman slams the Joker into the wall]
    Batman: I have [bad word] 
    The Joker: Oh, then that's [bad word] you'll have to break to know the [bad word] 
    Batman: Which is?
    The Joker: The only sensible way to live in this world is [bad word]  and tonight, you're gonna break your [bad word] 
    Batman: I'm considering it.
    The Joker: There's only minutes left; you're going to have to play my little game if you want to save one of them.
    Batman: Them?
    The Joker: You know, for a while there, I thought you really were Dent. The way you threw yourself after her... [laughs]
    '[Batman realises he means Rachel; enraged, he flips Joker over onto the table]
    The Joker: Look at you go! Does Harvey know about you and his "little bunny"?
    [Batman slams Joker's head into the mirror and punches him]
    Batman: WHERE ARE THEY?
    The Joker: Killing is making a choice...
    [Batman punches him again]
    Batman: WHERE ARE THEY?
    The Joker: Choose between one life or the other: Your friend the District Attorney, or his blushing bride-to-be!
    [Batman punches him again]
    The Joker: [laughing hysterically] You have nothing to threaten me with! Nothing to do with all your strength!
    [Batman grabs him]
    The Joker: But don't worry, I'm gonna tell you where they are! Both of them, and that's the point. You'll have to choose. He's at 250 52nd Street and she's at Avenue X and Cicero.
