[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 Joker : Come, have a seat, Sal. Tell me what's on your so-called mind.
Salvatore Valestra : It's Batman. He's gone nuts. First he whacked Chuckie Sol, then Buzz, and now he's after me.
The Joker : You know, I've been reading lately how old guano-man is wound tight enough to snap. Ooh, wouldn't it be great if I've finally driven him off the deep end?
Salvatore Valestra : This isn't a joke! Batman's knocking us off, and you're the only one who can take him down.
[opening a briefcase]
Salvatore Valestra : Look, 5 million up front, with whatever you want to finish him off.
The Joker : [yawning in bordeom] What do I look like, pest control?
Salvatore Valestra : Think, you fool! Once he gets me, how long 'til he gets you? You know what I'm talking about. Your hands are just as dirty. Dirtier!

Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : All I want to know is, is it true? Is the Batman really hitting our people?
Arthur Reeves : We have eyewitnesses.
Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : Beautiful. That's just beautiful. Why? He never leaned on us before. I'm too old for this.
Arthur Reeves : I suppose you could demand police protection.
Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : What are you, a comedian? This is the Batman we're talking about here. A freak job! He'll crucify me!
