Quotes3

  • Mayor: [regarding The Joker that's sitting a holding cell] What'd we got?
  • Lt. James Gordon: Nothing. No matches on prints, DNA, dental. Clothing is custom, no labels. Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint. No name, no other alias.
  • Harvey Dent: [on TV] I don't know about Mr. Lau's travel arrangements, but I'm sure glad he's here.
  • The Chechen: I put word out. We hire the clown.
  • [looks at the others]
  • The Chechen: He was right. We have to fix real problems: Batman.
  • [They don't see Gordon enter]
  • Lt. James Gordon: Ah our boy looks good on the tube.
  • Salvatore Maroni: You sure you want to embarrass me in front of my friends, Lieutenant?
  • Lt. James Gordon: Don't worry. They're coming too.
  • [Other cops enter and arrest the mobsters in the restaurant. Cuts to various locations in Gotham City, as the police do a massive round up of the mobsters in town. We see Stephens loading one thug into a police car, underneath an 'L' line, saying]
  • Detective Stephens: Have a nice trip. See you next fall.
  • [cuts to a courtroom, where Judge Surillo is reading the massive charges]
  • Judge Surrillo: 747 counts of extortion, 849 counts of racketeering, 246 counts of fraud, 87 counts of conspiracy to murder...
  • [as she flips through the documents, she finds a Joker playing card]
  • Judge Surrillo: ... 527 counts of obstruction of justice. How do the defendants plead?
  • [a massive army of defense lawyers start jostling and yelling all at once. The stenographer looks up, confused]
  • Judge Surrillo: Order! Order in the court!
  • [cut to the Mayor's office, where the Mayor is berating Harvey for his actions. Gordon and Commissioner Loeb are also present]
  • Mayor Anthony Garcia: 549 criminals at once. How did you convince Surillo to hear this farce?
  • Harvey Dent: She shares my enthusiasm for justice. After all, she is a judge.
  • Mayor Anthony Garcia: Well even if you're able to blow enough smoke to get convictions out of Surillo, you're going to set a new record at appeals for quickest kick in the ass.
  • Harvey Dent: It won't matter. The head guys make bail, sure... but the mid-level guys, they can't, and they can't afford to be off the streets long enough for trial and appeal. They'll cut deals that include *some* jail time. Think of all you could do with 18 months of clean streets.
  • [the Mayor waves Gordon and Commissioner Loeb out]
  • Mayor Anthony Garcia: The public likes you, Dent. That's the *only* reason this might fly. But that means it's on you. They're all coming after you now. Not just the mob: politicians, journalists, cops. Anyone whose wallet's about to get lighter. Are you up to it?
  • [Dent smiles]
  • Mayor Anthony Garcia: You better be. They get anything back on you, those criminals will be back on the streets...
  • [he walks over to the window and looks out]
  • Mayor Anthony Garcia: Followed swiftly by you and me.
  • [a dead Batman wanna-be in Joker makeup, with the sides of his mouth sliced into a grin, bangs into the window, causing the mayor to jump. Police lower the dead body, which is hanging from a noose, and they find a Joker card that says "WILL THE REAL BATMAN PLEASE STAND UP?"]
  • Mayor: We must remember that vigilance is the price of safety.
