Quotes 

• Commissioner James Gordon : Close one this time.

  Batman : They're all close ones.

  Commissioner James Gordon : [giving a toast]  Well, here's to survival. Hopefully, we'll be doing this again next New Year's Eve.

• Poison Ivy : Step lively there, Brucie.

  Harley Quinn : Look! Pianos!

  Bruce Wayne : I've had just about enough of this.

  Harley Quinn : I think the stuff is wearing off.

  Poison Ivy : Can't have that.

  [giving Harley her lipstick tube] 

  Poison Ivy : Give him another shot.

  Harley Quinn : [applying it]  Right-a-rooney!

  [advancing on Bruce] 

  Harley Quinn : Gimme some sugar, baby.

• Poison Ivy : May we give you a ride, Mr. Wayne?

  Bruce Wayne : No, thanks. I have my own car.

  Harley Quinn : Oh, but we insist.

  Poison Ivy : [looking in the window, he realizes who it is]  Season's greetings, Brucie. Your two favorite party girls are out for some Christmas fun.

  Harley Quinn : [pulling him into the car]  Ivy zapped you with her special lipstick back at the party.

  Poison Ivy : Now we've got Gotham's handsomest, wealthiest bachelor to treat us to a holiday shopping spree!

• Veronica Vreeland : So, tell me, Bruce, what does Gotham's most eligible bachelor have planned for the holidays? Skiing in the Alps? Sunning in the Bahamas? And more importantly, who's he taking?

  Bruce Wayne : Actually, I was planning on a quiet Christmas alone, Veronica.

  Veronica Vreeland : Really? I wouldn't tell them that.

  Bruce Wayne : Who's "them"?

  [turning, he sees a group of fawning socialites nearby] 

• Joe : Happy New Year, commish. I heard your buddy had a rough night. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show this time.

  Commissioner James Gordon : And break our tradition? In fact, unless I miss my guess...

  [hearing a nearby door close] 

  Commissioner James Gordon : ...that's him now.

  [Batman enters] 

  Commissioner James Gordon : How's that arm?

  Batman : Better than the Joker's.

• Robin : You're sure he'll be here?

  Batman : With murder on this scale, Joker will be close by to enjoy his handiwork. Even in this crowd, he'll stick out like a sore thumb.

  Robin : [seeing the party guests all wearing Joker masks]  You were saying?

  Batman : Not only has Joker found the perfect hiding place, he's fixed it so all his victims will die with a smile.

• Commissioner James Gordon : Joker broadcast that message at noon. Since then, only one victim has turned up.

  [Robin takes the police report] 

  Commissioner James Gordon : Dr. John Erickson, a pioneer in sonic research at GothCorp.

  Robin : Says here he was working on some special weapon.

  Commissioner James Gordon : A sort of sonic bomb. Once activated, the device releases waves of hypersound, strong enough to kill anyone within earshot. Unless they're wearing these special mufflers.

  Batman : Joker's got the bomb, and he's gonna use it tonight. He promised a countdown of victims, and there's no bigger countdown on New Year's Eve than at Gotham Square.
