Quotes 

• Criminal : [Terrified]  Who are you?

  Bruce Wayne : I'm your worst nightmare!

• Poison Ivey : Batman. A late night rendezvous? To what do I owe the honor?

  Batman : Harvey Dent.

  Poison Ivey : Oh, the poor district attorney. I hear he's not expected to live. It's so sad.

  [feigns crying which turns to maniacal laughter] 

  Batman : Why, Isley?

  Poison Ivey : Oh please. Call me "Poison Ivy". You see, Harvey had to pay for his crime.

  Batman : What crime?

  Poison Ivey : Why, murder, of course. Plowing up a field of beautiful wildflowers for that silly penitentiary of his. This little rose would be extinct today if I hadn't saved my precious from those horrible bulldozers. The blood of those flowers are on his hands!

  [calms down and smooths hair] 

  Poison Ivey : So his fate was sealed...

  [applies lipstick] 

  Poison Ivey : ... with a kiss. And now so is yours.

• Bruce Wayne : What do you have, Alfred?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Well, sir, Ms. Isley is a research chemist with Chez Gerard, the cosmetics firm. She works on the development of new fragrances. Their newest is a perfume called Nightshade.

  Poison Ivy : [he plays a commercial]  It's deadly.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Ms. Isley has a PhD in botany from Gotham University, where she offers a monthly lecture series on endangered and extinct plant species.

  Batman : [suiting up]  I think Harvey's engagement is off.

• Poison Ivy : Enjoy extinction, Batman!

  Batman : I'm not going alone.

  [he holds up the rose plant] 

  Poison Ivy : No!

  Batman : The bottle for the weed. What's it gonna be?

  [Ivy drops the bottle in front of Batman then grabs and cuddles the rose] 

  Poison Ivy : Oh, my baby. My precious baby.

• Harvey Dent : [about Pamela Isley]  So, what do you think?

  Bruce Wayne : Does she have a sister?

  Harvey Dent : Nope. Pam's one of a kind. That's why I asked her to marry me.

  Bruce Wayne : [Spits out his water]  What?

  Harvey Dent : Yep. That's the page-one headline.

  [Groans and tugs at shirt] 

  Harvey Dent : Is it getting warm in here?

  Bruce Wayne : You're still flushed from that last kiss. Harvey, you just met her last week.

  Harvey Dent : And I already know she's the one. Gosh, it's so hot in here.

  Bruce Wayne : Marriage is a big step, Harv. Don't you think you're rushing it?

  Harvey Dent : No way. The moment I laid eyes on Pam, love hit me right in the face.

  [Harvey passes out and collapse face-first into a bowl of chocolate mousse] 

  Bruce Wayne : [laughs]  Harv, you've lost your mind... Knock it off. Harv? Harvey!

• Batman : We've isolated the toxin, Alfred.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Indeed, we have, sir. "It is a lethal poison derived from the plant Roseaceaevularis, commonly known as the wild thorny rose."

  Batman : I'll get a plant sample from the Gotham Botanical Gardens. We can use it to work up an antidote.

  Alfred Pennyworth : I'm afraid this is unfeasible.

  Batman : Why?

  Alfred Pennyworth : Because, sir, the wild thorny rose has been extinct for nearly five years, which means, I'm afraid...

  Batman : There's no antidote.

• Batman : Alfred, I'm running a little behind schedule.

  Alfred Pennyworth : I have alerted Mr. Dent, sir. He and Ms. Isley patiently await your arrival at the Rose Cafe.

  Batman : How's the food there?

  Alfred Pennyworth : In my humble opinion, sir, exquisite.

  Batman : [parking the Batmobile]  I'll be taking the Cord this evening.

  Alfred Pennyworth : As I anticipated, sir. It is idling out front with a full tank of gas.

• Bruce Wayne : Alfred, dig up anything you can on Pamela Isley; who she is, where she's been, what she does, the works.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Consider it done, sir.
