Favorite Dark Knight Quotes: -----------------------------------------------------------------------The Mob's Kitchen Meeting: [Chapter 6: "Kill the Batman.

"] -----------------------------------------------------------------------Maroni: What the hell is this? [Pointing to the TV] Lau: As you're all aware, one of our deposits was stolen. A relatively small amount, 68 million. Chechen: Who's stupid enough to steal from us? Maroni: Two-bit wackjob, wears a cheap purple suit and makeup. He's not the problem, he's a nobody. The problem is our money being tracked by the cops. Lau: Thanks to Mr. Maroni's well-placed sources...we know that police have indeed identified our banks using marked bills...and are planning to seize your funds today. And since the enthusiastic new DA has put all my competitors out of business...I'm your only option. Maroni: So, what are you proposing? Lau: Moving all deposits to one secure location, not a bank. Gambol: Where, then? Lau: No one can know but me. If the police were to gain leverage over one of you...everyone's money would be at stake. Chechen: What's stoping them getting to you? Lau: I got Hong Kong, far from Dent's jurisdiction...and the Chinese will not extradite one of their own. Maroni: How soon can you move the money? Lau: I already have. For obvious reasons, I couldn't wait for your permission. Rest assured, your money is safe. [The Joker laughing as he enters the kitchen] The Joker: Ah, ha ha ha ha ha, ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, Oh, hee-hee, aha. Ha, ooh, hee, ha-ha, ha-ha. And I thought my jokes were bad.

[Joker points to Chechen's request.] Joker: Let's wind the clocks back a year. These cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you. I mean, what happened? Did your balls drop off? Hm? You see, a guy like me... Gambol: A freak -Mobster: Damn right. Joker: A guy like me -- Look, listen. [Shakes and cracks his neck] I know why you choose to have your little, ahem... group-therapy sessions in broad daylight. I know why you're afraid to go out at night. The Batman. See, Batman has shown Gotham your true colors, unfortunately. Dent, he's just the beginning. And as for the television's [Lau] so-called plan...Batman has no jurisdiction. He'll find him and make him squeal. I know the squealers when I see them...and.. . [Joker points to Lau on TV and Lau covers the video camera with his hand]. Chechen: What do you propose?

Gambol: [Slaps the table with his hands] Enough from the clown! Joker: [Opens his jacket and reveals a bunch of hand grenades tied to a string] Ah, ta-ta-ta. Let's not blow... Mobster 2: Shit! Joker: ...this out of proportion. Gambol: You think you can steal from us and just walk away? Joker: - Yeah. Gambol: I'm putting the word out. Five hundred grand for this clown dead. A million alive, so I can teach him some manners first. Joker: All-right. So, listen, why don't you give me a call...when you wanna star t taking things a little more seriously? Here's my card. [Places a Joker card on the table] Mm - mm.

They say they've just killed the Joker.

Another bodyguard: They brought the body. [Bodyguards bring in a body in a black plastic bag and lay it on the pool table] [Gambol removes the bag from the Joker's face] Gambol: So, dead, that's 500.

So which of you fine gentlemen would like to join our team? Oh. There's only one spot open right now, so we're gonna have... [Joker breaks a pool cue stick in half] ...tryouts. [Drops the stick pieces in front of the bodyguards and walks away] Make it fast. [The bodyguards are released to begin fighting for the job] [End of scene] -----------------------------------------------------------------------The Joker's Video [Chapter 10: "Men of their word."] -----------------------------------------------------------------------Joker: Tell them your name. Brian: Brian Douglas [Joker laughs] Joker: And are you the real Batman? Brian: No. Joker: No? Brian: No. Joker: No? Then why do you dress up like him? [Joker laughs] Joker: Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! Brian: Because he's a symbol that we don't have to be afraid of scum like you. Joker: Yeah. You do, Brian. You really do. Huh? Yeah. Oh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. So you think Batman's made Gotham a better place? Hm? Look at me. [Now shouting] Look at me! You see, this is how crazy Batman's made Gotham.
