Penguin

There are two eggs this wily bird is gonna scramble. Batman and Robin!

[The Joker is laughing madly] [to the Penguin]

You and your trained exploding shark!

Penguin

Faugh, Quack! How should I know they'd have a can of shark-repellent Batspray handy? Why, you sniveling sardine!

Why you pompous, puffed-up penguin!

Joker

Oh, friends, make peace. Have a shake on me. [shakes their hands, and the two are electrified; Joker laughs manically, and shows he is wearing joy buzzers on his hands] A joke a day keeps the gloom away!

[to her cat]

Sic 'em, Hecate. Scratch out their eyes.

Penguin
[Hecate lands on the table]

Take away that ravenous panther!

So help me, Catwoman, I'll feed him to the birds!

Joker

I'll incapacitate the beast with my trick confetti!

United Underworld? [scoffs as she picks up her cat] We're about as united as the members of the United World Headquarters on Gotham East River. What's the matter with you all?

She's right. she's right! If we don't manage to somehow swallow our supercriminal pride, I'm afraid-

Penguin

Right, Mr. Riddler, quite right! We must hang together, or most assuredly we shall hang separately.

Joker

Oh, and what a pity that would be, on the eve of the greatest criminal coup anyone ever dreamed of!

Aha! How did it go, Catwoman?

Purr-fectly, purr-fectly. In my disguise as Kitka, I penetrated their press conference. The fools are completely baffled.

Joker

Yes, but undrowned.

Yes, unfortunately. Batman's boots didn't even look damp! How's our prisoner? Still doesn't know he's been kidnapped?

Penguin

He hasn't the foggiest. He just keeps ringing for his confounded tea.

I see the way to do it. We'll play each of our treacherous trumps in one hand, and we'll do it right here.

Penguin

How?

How? The end. The end, oh... [giggles] We shall spring them from The Joker's Jack-In-The-Box, through that window, out over the sea, and into the waiting arms of The Penguin's Exploding Octopus! [giggles again] The trigger: one of my riddles, of course, and the bait: You, Catwoman!

Penguin

Mr. Bluebeard, down 30 fathoms! Run silent, run deep!

Penguin
[An annoyed Penguin observes the destruction of his torpedos]

He must be using a Super-Energy Reverse Polarizer!

Penguin
[Catwoman is scooping up "dehydrated death-dealing pirates" into separate vials]

Careful, careful. quack, quack. Every one of them has a mother.

Penguin

That's too soon! It must be Batcharges!

And that means there'll be more of the dread things meant for us!

You dismal bird! You and your submarine, Where has it got us now?!

Penguin

Shut up, you feline floozy!
