Ewan McGregor
A line from Roman Sionis / Black Mask

I want to kill you, because without the Joker around... I can. For all your noise and bluster, you're just a silly little girl with no one around to protect her.

Friends! Brothers! Men of Gotham! I have funded you. I have protected you. I've scratched your backs and kept you out of jail. Well, now it's time to say thank you. Go show those little bitches you don't mess with Roman Sionis!

3 scenes
Distant man
[Dinah Lance walks into apartment complex coming across Cassandra sitting on steps looking dejected]

You're the one who wanted the kid! I never wanted her!

Dinah Lance

Let me guess. Parents?

Cassandra Cain

Foster parents.

Dinah Lance

Right. Sorry, kid.

Cassandra Cain

Sorry about your face. Shit, you do have something on your face.

Dinah Lance

You should've seen the other guy. Uh...

Distant man

I want that kid out of my **** house!

Dinah Lance

You know, kid, not every day is gonna be like this. You just gotta hang in there. [Puts dollar bill on stairway railing post] Get something to eat. Stay outta that. It's not worth it.

Distant man

Don't talk to me like that!
...

Harley Quinn

Canary spends the next week settling in to her new job as Roman's personal driver.

Roman Sionis
[Walks to vehicle in fish market]

Ew. Okay.

Harley Quinn

What she didn't know is that driving Mr. Face-peely-pants was gonna put her right in the crosshairs of my favorite little piggy.
...

Renee Montoya
[Approaches Dinah leaving apartment]

Dinah Lance?

Dinah Lance

Who the hell are you?

Renee Montoya

I'm Renee Montoya, detective with GCPD. Your predecessor and I had an arrangement.

Dinah Lance

Oh, really?

Renee Montoya

He told me that there was a shipment coming in. A diamond. A very special diamond.

Dinah Lance

Yeah, not interested, lady. Thanks for the coffee. [Starts walking down hallway]

Renee Montoya

Do you know who you're working for?

Dinah Lance

Damn right, I do. He's the man who gave me a job. Took me off the streets. [Starts walking down stairs]

Renee Montoya

Yeah, well, he's also a very dangerous man. A criminal. A murderer. What would your mother think of you working for a guy like that, huh? You have the same power she had. Don't you think she would want you to use it?

Dinah Lance
[Turns and walks back up stairs]

The hell do you know about my mother?

Renee Montoya

Back in the day, she used to help the GCPD. She was a good woman.

Dinah Lance

Yeah. She was a damn good woman. The kind of woman who put everyone else's lives before her own. And when she was found dead in the street, where the **** were you and your boys in blue then? Now you wanna come and knock on my door and ask me to help you out and make the same mistake she did? Yeah. Good luck with that.

Renee Montoya

That's fair enough. And I'm sorry for your loss. For the record, that would never happen on my watch.

Victor
[Reading newspaper at table to Roman]

The Sprang Bridge Soldiers capituated.

Roman Sionis

"Capitulated." Of course they did. I told you that Keo scene would send a message.

Victor

It sure did, boss. It sure **** did. Crossbow killer struck again last night. Rossi and four of his guys.

Roman Sionis

People don't kill people I own without my permission. Why doesn't this crossbow guy know that? You know that!

Victor

I know it. [Gets up to rub Roman's shoulders]

Roman Sionis

Why doesn't this crossbow guy? Why don't I own the crossbow guy?

Victor

You should own him.

Roman Sionis

I mean, I like crossbows. [Dinah enters loft apartment] Oh, good morning. Good morning. Morning. Come in. Come in. We're just finishing up a little business. Look around.

Victor

You're late.

Roman Sionis

It's fine.

Victor

Should she come back another time, 'cause she's late?

Roman Sionis

No. Isn't this stunning? [To Dinah observing African tribal mask] That is a Chokwe mask. I got it when I was embedded with the Mbangani tribe in Congo-Kinshasa. Have you ever been?

Dinah Lance

I've never been. I've heard it's beautiful.

Roman Sionis

Mmm-hmm. It's dirty.

Dinah Lance

Oh... [Roman puts arms around Dinah and leads her aside]

Roman Sionis

Here, look at this. Genuine tsantsa or shrunken head. Shuar of Ecuador. They're amazing people. Surprisingly gentle. I think you might like them.

Dinah Lance

Really?

Roman Sionis

They boil the heads of their enemies and they make these little fellas. Exquisite, aren't they? Look.

Dinah Lance

Mmm-hmm.

Roman Sionis

Look at those little ears. And his little haircut.

Dinah Lance

Ah...

Roman Sionis

Yeah, he's 1,000 years old.

Dinah Lance

Wow.

Roman Sionis

And now he's just an ornament in my living room. Ew!

Dinah Lance

I love it.

Roman Sionis

Yeah? These are ancient acupuncture models. As you can see, they have all the acupuncture points. And we found these buried in the mountains.

Victor

Ace Chemicals got blown sky high last night!

Roman Sionis

All right, all right, let's find the Crossbow killer! I get it!

Dinah Lance
[Referring to statue]

Is he an acupuncture model, too?

Roman Sionis

He is not an acupuncture model. This is a statue of me. It was made by a very famous Gotham artist...

Victor

Harley Quinn did it. Some kind of "**** you" to the Joker. They split.

Roman Sionis

What's wrong with you, Victor? Talk about burying the lede.

Dinah Lance

Yeah.

Roman Sionis

This is spectacular news! [Walks to Victor and whispers] She doesn't belong to him, she belongs to me. Have the boys go find her. Round her up, bring her back. I want her. [To Dinah] You, I have something I want you to pick me up. Something super-duper important, okay?

Dinah Lance

Okay.

Victor

I'll go with you.

Roman Sionis

Yeah, go with Victor. It's just a pickup. No, he's harmless. Do as you're told. Go.

Cassandra Cain

I really like your earrings.

Woman

Why, thank you.

Man 1

There's the thief. There's the thief.

Cassandra Cain

Get off of me!

Man 2

That little girl took my watch.

Cassandra Cain

I didn't do nothing.

Victor

Where the ****'s the diamond? I just **** had it.
...

Harley Quinn
[Voiceover]

In the storytelling business, this dummy swallowing that diamond is called a complication. A complication I didn't exactly need right now. [Multiple police officers approaching her cornered in an alleyway] Parley?
...

Dinah Lance

We lost the diamond.

Roman Sionis
[Receiving botox injections]

What?!

Dinah Lance

We're really sorry, Mr. S. This kid...

Victor

We never even got our hands on it.

Botox injectionist
[Roman grabs his hand tightly and swipes it away]

Ow! Help!

Roman Sionis

Get out! Get out of here! [To woman burning sage] You, too! Go! With your **** sage stinking my place up. **** off!

Victor

Here she is. [Hands over a police perp profile paper]

Roman Sionis
[Holds up paper]

She's a child!

Dinah Lance

She's just a kid. She's... [To subordinate] What?!

Subordinate

We have Harley Quinn downstairs, as requested.

Roman Sionis
[Crumples up and throws paper]

**** off! Get out! [Throws pillow on floor] **** out! ****! These are my things! This diamond is my things!

Victor

Yes.

Roman Sionis

My things! [Throws pillow] **** ****! I don't ask for much, do I?!

Victor

No.

Roman Sionis

Why is this happening to me?! Why?!

Victor
[Restraining Roman]

I'm gonna get your diamond back. I promise. Why don't we go downstairs and kill that Harley bitch? Blow off a little steam.

Roman Sionis

Yeah, I have wanted to do that for quite some time. Okay. I'll go get changed. [Walks off]
