[In the middle of traffic on the Gotham Bay Bridge, police helicopters shining their spotlights on him, Joker stands atop a toppled truck trailer, bowing theatrically to the SWAT teams surrounding him. Inside the trailer are the former drug dealers intimidated by Red Hood.] [singing; sadistically]
I'm a little teapot, short and stout... [pours gasoline into the trailer] Here is my handle, here is my spout...
[Joker drops the remainder of the gas can inside the trailer, revealing that both Black Mask and Ms. Li are both inside as well.] [scared to death]
This wasn't part of the damn deal, you freak! Get me outta here! Right now!
I thought you'd enjoy seeing some old faces. After all, most of these guys used to work for you.
C Cop
[As Joker pulls out a lighter and tries to light it, something catches the attention of the police.]
Who's that? Get a light on him.
CG Commissioner Gordon
Up there!
[Joker looks up to see the lights shining on the Red Hood, standing on one of the bridge's towers.]
Heeeey, look at you! Mr. Hood! Or do you prefer Red? You know, I used to wear an outfit a lot like that. Mine was more flashy maitre d' than motorcycle fetish. You kids today... [flicks the lighter] I'm sorry, could you hold on? I was just in the middle of setting fire to your gang.
Go ahead. You think I care if that scum dies?
Don't know. I just wanted your attention.
You've always had my attention. But what I really wanted... was an audience with you.
[realizing something]
I'm sorry, that seems to imply that you organized this little clambake.
I did. Sure, I had lots of plans, but the endgame was getting Black Mask so desperate that he'd cut a deal. He was the only one with the connections to get into Arkham... and get you out.
[to himself; as he listens to the exchange above, embarrassed]
You can't. Trust. Anybody.
So I've been bamboozled. [deadpan] Oh, my.
I wouldn't undersell it. It took a lot of work to bring about our reunion.
[confused]
"Reunion"? Have we met before?
Well, here's to warm memories. [finally ignites the lighter and tosses it into the trailer, setting it ablaze]
[after finishing beating Robin]
Okay, kiddo, I gotta go. It's been fun, though, right? [silence from Robin] Well, maybe a smidge more fun for me than you. I'm just guessing since you're being awful quiet. Anyway, be a good boy, finish your homework, and be in bed by nine. And, hey, please tell the big man I said..."hello". [laughs hysterically]
[Batman, having refused to shoot either the Joker or Jason, has thrown a batarang into Jason's gun barrel, thus causing it to backfire and disarming Jason. Joker begins laughing maniacally]
I can't believe you got him! You expert, rootin'-tootin', eagle-eyed, Goth-loving marksman! I love it! You managed to find a way to win, and everybody still loses! [laughs] [Jason presses a detonator that trigger a pile of explosives in the fire place. Batman spots them and rushes to disarm them.] [grabs Batman from defusing the bomb] NO! Don't spoil it! This is better! I'm the only one who's gonna to get what he wants tonight! Yes! Big bang boom! We all go out together! Don't you just love a happy ending?! [Begins laughing until Batman punches him out cold. Attempts to grab Jason and escape, but the detonator goes off. Batman fruitlessly searches for Jason but finds nothing.]
[We see an Robin symbol and the camera reveals a wounded Robin as the Joker knocks him across the face with a crowbar]
Wow. That looked like it really hurt. [Hits him three more times] Whoa, now, hang on. That looked like it hurt a lot more. So, let's try and clear this up, okay, pumpkin? What hurts more? A? [hits him again] Or B? [hits him again] Forehand? [hits him again] Or backhand? [hits him again, and laughs. Robin then mumbles something, and Joker leans in, imitating the noise] A little louder, lamb chop. I think you may have a collapsed lung. That always impedes the oratory. [Robin spits in his face; Joker slams his head into the ground] Now, that was rude! The first Boy Blunder had some manners. [Robin grins at him as Joker wipes the blood away] I suppose I'm going to have to teach you a lesson so you can better follow in his footsteps. [pause] Nah. I'm just gonna keep beating you with this crowbar. [Joker laughs as he continues beating Robin]
