  Batman : This caper was even more obvious than most.

  The Joker : Ohhh! You can say that over the phone, Batman. But if I had you here, I'd pound you to a pulp!

  Batman : Start pounding, Joker!

  [Joker turns and throws up his arms in fright] 

  The Joker : Aaaah!

• The Joker : [after being shot back up the Bat Pole]  Someone get me off this crazy dumbwaiter! I can't breathe!

• Aunt Harriet Cooper : Oh, Batman and Robin, thank heaven you're here. Is Alfred all right?

  Batman : Yes, he's just fine, Mrs. Cooper.

  Baby Jane Towser : Batman, I'm so sorry for all the the trouble I've caused you.

  [finds the batpole switch]

  [slides down the bat pole] 

  Batman : Alfred, what's happened?

  Alfred Pennyworth : I'm afraid the Joker accidentally tripped the batpole switch and mistook this for a secret passage, sir.

  Robin : Then he's down in the batcave.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Ah, he didn't quite make the batcave, Master Robin.

  Robin : Then where is he?

  Alfred Pennyworth : I believe he should be arriving presently.

  Batman : The emergency Bat Pole elevator. Fast thinking, Alfred.

  Alfred Pennyworth : Thank you, sir.
