[Batman slams The Joker's head on the table] The Joker: Never start with the head. The victim gets all fuzzy. He can't feel the next... [Batman punches the Joker's hand. The Joker pauses for a moment waiting for it to hurt] The Joker: See?

The Joker: Harvey, Harvey, Harvey Dent. [climbs up to the cab of a semi truck, the driver of which is dead or unconscious] The Joker: Oh, excuse me, I want to drive! [shoves him out and takes the wheel]
