The Riddler : Since your justice is so select, please tell us which vermin you're paid to protect.
District Attorney Gil Colson : Which vermin?
Batman : The rat. The informant you all protect from the Salvatore Maroni case.
District Attorney Gil Colson : How do you know about that?
Batman : What's his name?
The Riddler : Twenty seconds.
District Attorney Gil Colson : No.
Batman : He's gonna kill you.
District Attorney Gil Colson : I'm a dead man either way. You're talking to a dead man, okay? If I go out this way, it's just me. But if I give over that name, I have family, people I love. He'll kill them, too.
Batman : Who will?
District Attorney Gil Colson : People are watching.
Batman : What people?
District Attorney Gil Colson : It's so much bigger than you could ever imagine. It's the whole system!
The Riddler : Five! Four!
District Attorney Gil Colson : Oh, God, have mercy on me.
The Riddler : Three! Goodbye!

District Attorney Gil Colson : You want a drop?
Selina Kyle : Uh, no, I'm good. But you enjoy.
District Attorney Gil Colson : Hope you don't mind. I got a lot on my shoulders with that psycho running around.
Batman : He's wasted.
Selina Kyle : No shit.

The Riddler : Say hello to my followers. We're live. They're here to watch our little trial. At the moment, the man across from you, Mr. Colson, is dead. But wait a minute...
District Attorney Gil Colson : Jesus, can we get somebody out here? This psycho's gonna kill me!
The Riddler : SHUT UP! YOU DESERVE TO DIE AFTER WHAT YOU DID! YOU HEAR ME?
District Attorney Gil Colson : Okay.
The Riddler : I'm giving you a chance. No one ever gave me a chance. Now, ever since I was a child, I've always loved little puzzles. For me, they are a retreat from the horrors of our world. Maybe they can bring some comfort to you, too, Mr. Colson.
District Attorney Gil Colson : You want me to do puzzles?
The Riddler : Three riddles in two minutes. You give me the answers, and I'll give you the code for the lock.

District Attorney Gil Colson : I mean, this Riddler, he's going after the most powerful people in the city. He knows so much.
Travis : He doesn't know shit, man.
District Attorney Gil Colson : What are you talking about? Yeah, he does! What about that rat...
Ritchie : Hey, hey. Gil, come on.
Batman : Hey.
Ritchie : Think maybe you had a little too much. Slow down.
Batman : The rat. Ask him about the rat.
Selina Kyle : [putting her hand on Colson's leg] Hey, what's this about a rat?
District Attorney Gil Colson : I mean, there was a rat. We had an informant. We had big-time information on Salvatore Maroni. That's how we got him out of the drops business.
Batman : He's talking about the Maroni case.
District Attorney Gil Colson : But if this guy knows, it's gonna come out. And when it does, this whole city's gonna come apart.

District Attorney Gil Colson : [with a bomb around his neck, courtesy of the Riddler] He made me do it. I'm so sorry. He told me if I didn't do exactly what he said, he'd kill me. I'm so sorry.
Batman : Looks like a combination lock.
District Attorney Gil Colson : Can't we just cut it off?
Batman : Not if you want to keep your head.
