- Robin: Don't you think we should make these election posters a little bigger, Batman?
- Batman: I think these are quite large enough, Robin. After all, the voters are interested in issues, not window-dressing.
- Robin: Sure Batman, but a little showmanship wouldn't hurt us any.
- Batman: No Robin, I want to conduct a campaign that deals with the issues. I'm convinced the American electorate is too mature to be taken in by cheap, vaudeville trickery. After all, if our national leaders were elected on the basis of tricky slogans, brass bands and pretty girls, our country would be in a terrible mess, wouldn't it?
- The Penguin: Politics is wonderful! I can use all my lowest, slurpiest tricks, but now they're legal! I should have been a politician years ago!
- [Organizing his election]
- Penguin: Plenty of girls and bands and slogans and lots of hoopla, but remember, no politics. Issues confuse people.
- The Penguin: Foul play in our fair city!
- Policeman: That crooked quack is up to no good.
- The Penguin: Citizen Penguin to the rescue!
- Lulu: Gee, I wish I was old enough to vote for you, Mr. Penguin.
- The Penguin: Don't worry, little one, you'll get your chance on my fourth term.
- [laughter all round]
- The Penguin: So, old pointy ears has thrown his cowl into the ring, huh? Good! Once and for all I'll settle matters with that masked moron.
- Bruce Wayne: Alfred, you may exorcise your familiarity with the bard.
- [Alfred does so by pulling back the head on Shakespeare's bust and pressing the secret button to reveal the batpoles]
