Quotes 

• Detective Harvey Bullock : Relax, Mr. Francis. I got men posted at every window and door. Nobody's sneaking in here tonight.

  Batman : [doing so, dressed as a patrol cop]  If I got in this easily... so will the Joker.

  Detective Harvey Bullock : Hey, hey! This is police business! Haul your bat butt out of here!

  Commissioner James Gordon : Hold it, Detective. No one knows the Joker's methods better than Batman. He stays.

  Detective Harvey Bullock : [grumbling under his breath]  Glory-hoggin, long underwear geek.

• Batman : He'll be all right once the antivenom kicks in.

  Detective Harvey Bullock : I don't get it. We all breathed the gas, and we're not smiling.

  Batman : He didn't want us. That gas is one part of a binary compound. The Joker exposed Francis to the other part when he threatened him this morning.

  The Joker : [the TV turns on]  This just in. Former copyright director G. Carl Francis will be taking an extended vacation.

  [his picture of Francis changes] 

  The Joker : Looks like he's having more fun already! But I'm not happy! If I don't get my legal claim to my fish by 3:00 a.m., the number two bureaucrat, Thomas Jackson, will feel my wrath. And now, Batman, 'cause I know you're watching, here's a message from our sponsor.

• Harley Quinn : Oh, my poor, poor puddin'.

  Detective Harvey Bullock : Come on, he was a demented, abusive, psychotic maniac.

  Harley Quinn : Yeah. I'm really gonna miss him.

• Harley Quinn : Freeze, coppa! I got you covered, see?

  Detective Harvey Bullock : Well, if it ain't laughing boy's little henchwench. You're outgunned, sugar.

  Harley Quinn : Do tell.

  Detective Harvey Bullock : [she fires her gun, and he's restrained with a bundle of ropes]  AH! What? Whoa!

  The Joker : ["catching him" with a rod and reel]  Hoo! Look at what I caught. Kind of runty, though.

  [suspending him over a shark tank] 

  The Joker : I'm gonna have to throw it back.

• [after a narrow escape from a shark tank] 

  Batman : You okay?

  [Bullock keeps coughing out water, but:] 

  Bullock : Just give him one for me, will you?

  [Batman smiles and takes off after Joker] 

• The Joker : Now, this fella here... came with his own grin. See the resemblance? And check out my catch of the day.

  Batman : [seeing Bullock restrained]  Bullock.

  Detective Harvey Bullock : [spitting out a fish]  I didn't need no batcomputer to tell me that weird-looking minnow came from an aquarium.

  The Joker : Yes, well, this is all tremendously boring. Of course, I can always amuse myself watching old Har give my shark indigestion.

• Bullock : Well, if it ain't Laughin'-Boy's little hench-wench.
