Quotes 

• Poison Ivy : [talking to her rose]  They can bury me in the ground, as deep as they like. But I'll grow back. We always grow back. Don't we, baby?

• 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.

• Poison Ivy : [after Batman tries to spit out the poison from her kiss]  Aw what's the matter Batman, do I have cooties?

  [laughs]
