- [At Bruce's parents' grave]
- Bruce Wayne: It doesn't mean I don't care anymore. I don't want to let you down, honest, but... but it just doesn't hurt so bad anymore. You can understand that, can't you? Look, I can give money to the city - they can hire more cops. Let someone else take the risk, but it's different now!
- [thunder and lightning]
- Bruce Wayne: Please! I need it to be different now. I know I made a promise, but I didn't see this coming. I didn't count on being happy.
- [thunder and lightning]
- Bruce Wayne: Please! Tell me that it's okay.
- Andrea Beaumont: [enters] Maybe they already have. Maybe they sent me.
- [They embrace in the rain]
- Batman: You think you know everything about me, don't you?
- Alfred Pennyworth: I diapered your bottom; I bloody well ought to, *sir*!
- Batman: Well you're wrong!
- Alfred: Vengeance blackens the soul, Bruce. I've always feared that you would become that which you fought against. You walk the edge of that abyss every night, but you haven't fallen in and I thank heaven for that.
- The Joker: [when Batman picks up the phone in Andrea's apartment] Hello, anybody home? 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! And there's no use jumping out the window this time, toots...
- [Batman looks out the window and sees a toy Joker plane flying in carrying a bomb]
- The Joker: The plane of the future is going to make you history!
- [Batman throws a Batarang, exploding the bomb outside the window; the blast knocks him back against the wall, and the phone is left dangling]
- The Joker: [laughing] Hello? Hello, operator? I believe my party's been... disconnected! HA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAA!
- Joker: I'm impressed, lady. You're harder to kill than a cockroach on steroids.
- The Phantasm: So, you figured it out.
- [the Phantasm removes his mask to reveal Andrea Beaumont]
- Joker: Gotta hand it to you, nice scheme. Costume's a bit theatrical, but hey, who am I to talk?
- Batman: Your father's dead, isn't he? You came into town early to get Chuckie Sol, so you could shift the blame to your father if you had you.
- Andrea Beaumont: They took everything, Bruce. My dad, my life, you. I'm not saying it's right, or even sane but it's all I have left! So either help me, or get out of the way!
- Batman: You know I can't do that.
- Andrea Beaumont: Look what they did to us! What we could have had! They had to pay!
- Batman: [places his hands on her shoulders] But Andy... what will vengeance solve?
- Andrea Beaumont: If anyone knows the answer to that, Bruce, it's you.
- [silent pause]
- Batman: Leave, Andy, now. Please.
- [Andrea disappears in a cloud of smoke]
- [Sal walks through the remains of the "Future of Gotham" park as the robots sing; then the Joker enters]
- Joker: I hate that song... Gasp! Can it be? Old Sally "the Wheezer" Valestra! Welcome, paisan! It's been a dog's age!
- Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra: [nervously] Hello, Joker. Didn't mean to drop by unannounced.
- [the Phantasm goes to Valestra's mansion, but instead finds Valestra already dead, along with Joker's surveillance camera and a bomb]
- Joker: 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...
- [the Phantasm leaps out the window just as the bomb explodes]
- Arthur Reeves: [on TV] What kind of city are we running when we depend on the support of a potential madman?
- [click]
- Alfred: What rot, sir! Why you're the very model of sanity. Oh by the way, I pressed your tights and put away your exploding gas balls.
- Bruce Wayne: Thank you, Alfred.
- Batman: Do you still follow your dad's orders?
- Andrea Beaumont: The way I see it, the only one in this room controlled by his parents is you.
- [while Reeves is trying to resist the effects of Joker's toxin, Batman appears in his hospital room]
- Arthur Reeves: [gasps, then giggles helplessly] Oh, no!
- Batman: Why did the Joker meet with you?
- [Reaves keeps giggling]
- Batman: It has to do with the gangster murders, doesn't it? He thinks you're involved. WHY?
- Arthur Reeves: [giggling] I don't know!
- Batman: [grabs him] That's not the answer I want!
- [Reaves manages to calm down]
- Arthur Reeves: Beaumont needed me to help him and his kid get out of town...
- [starts to giggle again]
- Arthur Reeves: He kept in touch.
- Batman: When was the last time you spoke to him?
- Arthur Reeves: Years ago, my first election campaign. I was running out of money and I asked Beaumont for help...
- [giggles]
- Arthur Reeves: He said no!
- Batman: So you sold him to the mob.
- Arthur Reeves: [now laughing hysterically] I was broke! Desperate! They said all they wanted was their money back!
- [he collapses with laughter, as Batman leaves in disgust]
- The Joker: All right, I give up. I surrendered already. Tell her, Batman.
- Batman: [Panting] Andrea, you've got to... get out of here! The place is wired to... explode!
- Andrea Beaumont: No. One way or another it ends tonight. Goodbye, my love.
- Andrea Beaumont: What's that you're practicing?
- Bruce Wayne: Jujitsu.
- Andrea Beaumont: Gesundheit... That was a joke.
- Bruce Wayne: Jujitsu's no joke!
- [at Andrea's mother's grave]
- Andrea Beaumont: So, tell me - with all that money and power, how come you always look like you want to jump off a cliff?
- Bruce Wayne: Why do you care?
- Andrea Beaumont: I don't. Mom was asking.
- Andrea Beaumont: You're not smiling, Joker. I thought you found death amusing.
- The Joker: Oh, me? You won't hear a giggle out of me.
- [Joker presses a button. Hazel the Robot laughs maniacally and attacks with a cleaver]
- [last lines]
- Partygoer: Quite a sight.
- Andrea Beaumont: [Melancholic] Yes.
- Partygoer: I'm sorry. Do - Do you want to be alone?
- Andrea Beaumont: I am.
- Andrea Beaumont: Hi. Hey, what happened to you? Trip over some loose cash? It's been three days since we met and still no calls. I figured you must be dead or something.
- Bruce Wayne: You expect every guy you meet to call you up?
- Andrea Beaumont: The ones who are smart enough to dial a phone.
- Joker: Tsk, tsk. And to think those tax money would pay these jerks.
- Arthur Reeves: You!
- Joker: That's right, Artie. Bring in the press, why don't you? What a photo op! The councilman and his wacky pal.
- Arthur Reeves: You're no friend of mine.
- Joker: Oh, Artie, I'm crushed! How and ho the mighty forget. Don't you remember? You, me, Sally and the gang?
- Arthur Reeves: What are you talking about? I never met them or you. I work for Beaumont. I didn't know what he was doing.
- Joker: But you knew it afterwards and put it to good use, eh?
- Arthur Reeves: What do you want?
- Joker: To find out who's iced the old gang.
- Arthur Reeves: Haven't you read the papers? It's Batman.
- Joker: [pressing his joy buzzer] Wrong. It ain't the bat. Nope, nope, nope. I've seen the guy. He looks more like the Ghost of Christmas Future. Nowhere near as cute as Batboy.
- Arthur Reeves: You're saying it was someone else?
- Joker: Yeah, someone wouldn't mind seeing our old pals out of the way.
- Arthur Reeves: [a woman has just thrown her drink in Bruce Wayne's face. Arthur holds out a handkerchief] Friend in need?
- Bruce Wayne: [takes the handkerchief and begins to dry off] Councilman. So, how goes the Bat-bashing?
- Arthur Reeves: Better than your love life. Really, Bruce, it's almost as if you pick them because you know there's no chance for a serious relationship. At least since that one girl. What was her name? Ann? Andi? Andrea? Yes, Andrea Beaumont. Now, there was a sweet number. How'd you let her get loose?
- Bruce Wayne: Thanks for the handkerchief, Arthur.
- [stuffs the handkerchief in Arthur's pocket]
- Bruce Wayne: You know where you can stick it.
- Bruce Wayne: It's another cave, all right. Could be as big as the house, judging from the number of bats that came out of it. Alfred, what's wrong?
- Alfred: This just arrived, sir.
- Bruce Wayne: [opening it, he finds Andrea's engagement ring with a note] "Left with dad... too young... need time. Forget about me."
- The Joker: You're too late, Batman. There are 20 miles of tunnels under this place, and they're all filled with high explosives. In five minutes, everything goes up.
- Alfred: It's so good to see you and Ms. Beaumont together again. Might one ask what this bodes for your alter ego?
- Bruce Wayne: I'm not sure, Alfred. Everything's happening so fast. So much has changed.
- Alfred: You still love each other.
- Bruce Wayne: It's true. I love her. Maybe after this is settled...
- [looking at the portrait of his parents]
- Bruce Wayne: Maybe then.
- Alfred: I'm sure they would have wanted you to be happy, sir.
- Andrea Beaumont: You know how much I've always wanted to see Europe, Bruce. And dad has business there next week. It's some sort of hush-hush deal. He won't tell me a thing. He can't even say when we'd be coming back.
- Bruce Wayne: Will you at least let me try to talk you out of it?
- Andrea Beaumont: Bruce...
- Bruce Wayne: Wait, please. Oh... never mind.
- [taking a small gift from his pocket]
- Bruce Wayne: I'm no good at this. Here, you'll get the idea.
- [as he gets down on one knee, she opens it and gasps upon seeing a diamond ring]
- Bruce Wayne: What do you say?
- [Bruce's crime-fighting training is derailed by his infatuation with Andrea]
- Bruce Wayne: What the heck am I doing, Alfred? This isn't part of the Plan! I must be going nuts!
- Alfred Pennyworth: If I may make so bold, Master Bruce, I'd say quite the reverse.
- Alfred Pennyworth: There are certain advantages to having a sturdy cranium, Master Bruce. But then, hardheadedness was always your virtue.
- Charles "Chuckie" Sol: What do you want?
- [the Phantasm points his right arm at Chuckie]
- The Phantasm: I want you, Chuckie boy.
- [Buzz talks to Chuckie's tombstone, leaving a wreath]
- Buzz Bronski: Chuckie, Chuckie. You always were a loser.
- Police Commissioner James Gordon: He didn't do it! It's garbage, Councilman! The Batman does not kill. You want him, you get him! I'll have no part in it.
- [Bruce proposes to Andrea]
- Andrea Beaumont: I never thought this would happen. I always felt like... like I'd thrown you a curveball, like you never knew what to do with me, because I wasn't in "The Plan".
- Bruce Wayne: You are now. I'm changing the Plan.
- Andrea Beaumont: So, we meet again. I like the cape. Not sure about the mask, though.
- Batman: Have you ever seen this?
- Andrea Beaumont: No.
- Batman: But that's your father. He's the one who set up their corporate partnership.
- Andrea Beaumont: So? That's his job.
- Batman: He was the one element that tied these gangsters together. Where's your father now?
- Andrea Beaumont: Haven't a clue. Why don't you try Madagascar?
- Batman: That's not what you told Reeves! You told him you were closer than ever to your father.
- Andrea Beaumont: You had me bugged, is that it?
- Batman: I can read lips.
- Andrea Beaumont: Then read them now: get out.
- Bruce Wayne: [spotting something in the picture of Andrea's father and his mob associates] Hmm.
- Alfred: Is something wrong?
- Bruce Wayne: Maybe.
- [taking a red pencil, he draws on a figure in the background]
- Bruce Wayne: Oh, no!
- [as he realizes who it is, with a drawn-on smile, the Joker's cackling is heard]
