Quotes 

• [interviewing Kaiser about the "Joker's Wild" casino] 

  Summer Gleeson : Mr. Kaiser, why build a casino seemingly in honor of one of history's greatest outlaws?

  Cameron Kaiser : Summer, please! The Joker is a classical symbol, long associated with cards and games. We can't help it if there's some passing resemblance to some criminal fruitcake...

  [Joker hurls a potted plant into the television] 

  The Joker : How dare that smug, preening fool try to cash in on my image!

  Dr. Pamela Isley : Now who should lighten up?

  The Joker : Don't get cute with me, Red! He's ripping me off! I'll protest! Yeah, I'll sue! Then I'll rip his lungs out! And I will, too.

• Cameron Kaiser : [cutting the ribbon]  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, one and all... to Joker's Wild!

  The Joker : Say *what*?

  Summer Gleeson : Ugh, that's disgusting!

  Cameraman : [whispering]  Psst, Summer! We're on the air!

  Summer Gleeson : Oh! Uh... there you have it! Let's get a reaction from the crowd. Mr. Wayne?

  Bruce Wayne : [equally nauseated]  No comment...

• [Kaiser makes his getaway in a helicopter, but his pilot acts very strangely...] 

  Cameron Kaiser : What are you circling for, you fool?

  The Joker : It was a scheme worthy of me, Kaiser...

  [Kaiser gasps] 

  The Joker : The way you got me riled up and turned me loose on this place!

  Cameron Kaiser : You? But... but you were supposed to destroy the casino!

  The Joker : Yeah, but I thought it'd be even more fun to get rid of you and run the show myself!

  Cameron Kaiser : But... but, you can't...!

  The Joker : Oh, please, Mr. Kaiser! You of all people should have realized there'd be a Joker in the deck!

• Batman : If I didn't know better, I'd say you wanted this place destroyed.

  Cameron Kaiser : After spending 300 million to build it? That's not good business, my friend.

  Batman : I've seen the unpaid bills. Building this casino has bankrupted you. That's why you turned it into a target for the Joker. Once he destroys it, you'll collect the insurance money.

  Cameron Kaiser : You hit the jackpot, Batman. But I've got too much at stake to be stopped now.
