"Yeah, you got spirit kid. I'll give you that. More than your old man anyway. In the joint, Chill told me about the night he killed your parents. He said your father begged for mercy. Begged. Like a dog."

Carmine Falcone

“Look around you, there's two councilmen, a union official, a couple of off-duty cops and a judge. Now, I wouldn't have a second's hesitation blowing your head off right here in front of them. That's power you can't buy. That's the power of fear."

Carmine Falcone

"Because you think you got nothing to lose. But you haven't thought it through. You haven't thought about your lady friend down in the DA's office. You haven't though about your old butler. BANG! People from your world have so much to lose. Now, you think, because your mommy and your daddy got shot, you know the ugly side of life, but you don't. You've never tasted desperate. You're... You're Bruce Wayne, The Prince of Gotham. You'd have to go a thousand miles to meet someone who didn't know your name. So don't come down here with your anger, trying to prove something to yourself. This is a world you'll never understand. And you always fear what you don't understand."

Carmine Falcone

" Never underestimate Gotham City. People get mugged on their way home every day of the week. Heh, sometimes...sometimes things just go bad."

Carmine Falcone
(Half-heartedly faking insanity to get out of prison.)

"Yeah, Dr. Crane, I can't take it anymore. It's all too much. The walls are closing in. Blah, blah, blah. Couple more days of this food, it'll be true."

Carmine Falcone
(Having actually been driven out of his mind.)

"Scarecrow... scarecrow..."

[muttering to himself]

What the hell are you?

[Batman bursts through the sun roof of Falcone's limousine.]

I'm Batman.

[Batman headbutts Falcone into unconsciousness, then sees the Homeless Man he traded coats with years earlier]

Nice coat.

Homeless Man
[He flies off; the Homeless Man stares after him]

Thanks.

Carmine Falcone
[The jailed Falcone has demanded to speak with Dr. Crane, director of Arkham Asylum.]

Yeah, Dr. Crane, I can't take it anymore. It's all too much. The walls are closing in. Blah, blah, blah. Couple more days of this food, it'll be true.

What do you want?

Carmine Falcone

I want to know how you're gonna convince me to keep my mouth shut.

About what? You don't know anything.

Carmine Falcone

I know you wouldn't want the police to take a closer look at those drugs they found. And I know about your experiments with the inmates of your nuthouse. See, I don't go into business with a guy without finding out his dirty secrets. And those goons you used, I own the muscle in this town. Now, I've been bringing your stuff in for months, so whatever he's planning, it's big, and I want in.

Well, I already know what he'll say, that we should kill you.

Carmine Falcone

Even he can't get me in here. Not in my town.

Would you like to see my mask? I use it in my experiments. Probably not very frightening to a guy like you, but these crazies, they can't stand it.

Carmine Falcone

So when did the nut take over the nuthouse?

[Falcone begins to scream as Crane's fear-inducing gas takes effect.]

They scream and they cry... much as you're doing now. [Leaving Falcone's cell] Well he's not faking, not this one. I'll talk to the judge and see if I can get him moved to the secure wing at Arkham. I can't treat him here.

Carmine Falcone

You're taller than you look in the tabloids, Mr. Wayne. [his men frisk Bruce] No gun? I'm insulted. You could've just sent a thank-you note.

I didn't come here to thank you. I came here to show you that not everyone in Gotham's afraid of you.

Falcone

Only those who know me, kid. Take a look around you. You'll see two city councilmen, a union official, a couple of off-duty cops, and a judge. [draws a pistol and points it at Bruce] Now I wouldn't have a second's hesitation in blowing your head off, right here and right now, in front of them. That's power you can't buy! That's the power of fear.

I'm not afraid of you.

Falcone

Because you think you got nothing to lose. But you haven't thought it through yet. You haven't thought about your lady friend, down at the DA's office. You haven't thought about your old butler. [gestures with his gun] Bang! People from your world have so much to lose. Now, you think because your mommy and your daddy got shot, you know about the ugly side of life, but you don't. You've never tasted desperate. You're, uh, you're Bruce Wayne, the prince of Gotham! You'd have to go a thousand miles to meet someone who didn't know your name! So don't, don't come down here with your anger, trying to prove something to yourself. This is a world you'll never understand, and you always fear what you don't understand.
