Page 2 of 2
[Sal Valestra arrives at the abandoned Gotham World's Fair to call on the Joker]

Gasp! Can it be? Old Sallie "The Wheezer" Valestra! Welcome, paesan! It's been a dog's age!

Sal Valestra

Hello, Joker. Didn't mean to drop by unannounced.

Oh, Salvatore, why so formal? Mi casa nostra es su casa nostra! [shoves him into a rollercoaster] So, what's an old-timer like you want with a two-timer like me?

Sal Valestra

Business. I got––

Ooh! Business! Sounds like fun! Come, we'll repair to more comfortable environs. Now hold onto your hat and watch those valuables, it's going to be a bumpy ride! [laughs]

[The rollercoaster takes off, Valestra left wheezing as they arrive at the "House of the Future"]

Honey, I'm home! Oh, don't mind my home security system. Down, Rusty! [kicks the mechanical dog waiting nearby] Can't be too careful with all these weirdos around! [chuckles as he walks over to the mechanical maid] What? Meat loaf again? Oh, I had it for lunch! Isn't Hazel here a cutie? True, she's a real homebody, but you can't help who you fall in love with! Come, have a seat, Sal. Tell what's on your so-called mind.

Sal Valestra

It's Batman. He's gone nuts! First he whacked Chuckie Sol, then Buzz, and now he's after me!

Ya know, I've been reading lately how old Guano-Man is wound tight enough to snap. [chortles] Wouldn't it be great if I've eventually driven him off the deep end?

Sal Valestra

This isn't a joke! Batman's knocking us off, and you're the only one who can take him down! Look, five million up front, with whatever you want to finish him off!

[yawns dramatically]

What do I look like, pest control?

Sal Valestra

Think, you fool! Once he gets me, how long till he gets you? You know what I'm talking about! [grabs him by the lapels] Your hands are just as dirty! Dirtier!

[snarls in rage]

Don't touch me, old man! [calmer] I don't know where you've been! [chuckles] Oh, Sal, no one could take a joke like you. Of course I'll help you out!

Sal Valestra

Really?

Certainement! No way is anybody gonna hurt my pal Sal. [Valestra smiles] That's it, that's what I want to see. [ominously] A nice big smile!

[to Batman, on the phone]

Listen, boopsie, even though you never call and never write, I still got a soft spot for you. So I'm sending you a fun gift...airmail. [Batman sees a small flying toy rigged with explosives starting to fly into the window] And there's no use jumping out the window this time, toots. The plane of the future is about to make you history! [Batman quickly throws a batarang at the toy, setting off the explosive. The explosion still knocks him back, causing him to drop the phone] Hello? Hello, operator? I believe my party's been...disconnected! [cackles loudly]

[to the Phantasm, via remote camera]

Whoops! Ha! I guess the joke's on me. You're not Batman after all. Looks like there's a new face in Gotham and soon his name will be all over town... to say nothing of his legs, and feet, and spleen, and head...

What am I still doing this for? It's gotta be one or the other. I can't have it both ways. I can't put myself on the line if someone's waiting for me at home.

Wrong! It ain't the Bat! Nope, nope, nope. I've seen the guy. He looks more like the Ghost of Christmas Future.
