- Batman: [handcuffs the Ripper without him noticing] I paid Houdini three hundred dollars for that trick.
- [last lines]
- [the World's Fair burns to ashes]
- Selina Kyle: Gone, all gone.
- Batman: And the hope of Gotham with it.
- Dickie: It was all phony anyway. We'll make somethin' new, somethin' better.
- Sister Leslie: [faces the Ripper] Well, I won't beg. And I won't get hysterical. I won't give you the satisfaction. Know this: I forgive you.
- James Gordon: Wayne promised this world's fair would be a paradise of cleanliness and light. But what does a light in the darkness do? It draws flies. Vile, unclean, like you. But for every one of you I eradicate, two more arrive. I promised the people of Gotham to clean the scum off the streets. Thieves, murderers, confidence men, immigrants, illiterates, anarchists. This city seems to spawn them. But it's whores, you painted whores, that are the worst. All rosy cheeked, soft, and round on the outside. But on the inside...
- Selina Kyle: [groggily] My death... prove... innocent.
- James Gordon: Yes. Sadly, your death will exonerate Wayne. But it will be worth it. Your blood shall christen this fair, woman. Your corruption and decay will spill down over this carnival as a warning to all your kind. Shall we begin? This may take quite some time.
- Selina Kyle: [wearing Bruce's top hat] I don't think the doorman was quite convinced that I'm a man.
- Bruce Wayne: If he was, I'd have to have him dismissed. The Dionysus Club cannot tolerate a doorman who is blind.
- Selina Kyle: You'd never do that. Have someone fired. You're too kind. I've heard.
- Selina Kyle: A mutual friend told me you like to solve mysteries, ever since you were a boy. You're studying me.
- Bruce Wayne: You're a fascinating subject.
- Selina Kyle: And what have you learned?
- Bruce Wayne: Only that you were raised in a small, regional circus, probably in a family of performers. That some traumatic event, possibly connected to the scar on your left arm that you're trying to conceal, led you to the continent, where you reinvented yourself as a night club performer.
- Selina Kyle: Nothing else?
- Bruce Wayne: That you take it upon yourself to act as champion of the voiceless. Which you, no doubt, learned from our mutual friend, Sister Leslie Thompkins. One of the few people who knew me as a boy.
- [Alfred arrives to rescue Batman and Selina from the burning World's Fair]
- Alfred Pennyworth: Help them in, lads. Lively now. Where there's smoke, there's fire. And there you'll always be, sir.
- [Bruce and Selina board the carriage]
- Alfred Pennyworth: Hyah!
- [the carriage moves off]
- Batman: [sees Dickie, Jason and Timmy] Do these belong to you, Alfred?
- Alfred Pennyworth: [chuckles] Good Lord, no, sir. They belong to you.
- Big Bill Dust: [to Batman] You're the galumph who's been making a nuisance of yourself all over Gotham, ain't ya? Well, now you're in Big Bill Dust's territory, interfering with my amiable Cock Robins. You're bad for business. Bad all 'round. Too bad for you.
- Alfred Pennyworth: I've laid out your mourning clothes.
- Bruce Wayne: I have my own manner of mourning.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Revenge.
- Bruce Wayne: Her blood cries out for it.
- Alfred Pennyworth: Does it, sir? "Beloved, avenge not yourselves, vengeance is mine. I will repay, sayeth the Lord." She wouldn't want you to be alone right now.
- Bruce Wayne: It's how I work best, Alfred... But I can pay my respects.
- James Gordon: So, who do you think Bruce will go out with tonight: blonde, brunette, or redhead?
- Sister Leslie: You have a dirty mind, Commissioner. My money's on blonde.
- Constable: [stops Bruce's carriage] Open up! Open up in the name of the law!
- [they open the door and freeze when they see Bruce and Selina Kyle making out]
- Bruce Wayne: Is there a problem, officer?
- Constable: Uh... no, Mr. Wayne, we've just been, uh... you should head home. Dangerous characters on the streets tonight.
- Bruce Wayne: Duly noted. Anything else, gentlemen?
- Constable: Uh, no. Excuse me, sir... and madam.
- [tips his hat]
- Constable: Have a wonderful night.
- Pamela Isley: [gasp] You gave me a start. I thought for a minute...
- [walks up to him]
- Pamela Isley: Well, you're clearly a real gentleman. You lonely?
- [lays a hand on his shoulder]
- Pamela Isley: I hate to see a man lonely. I got a generous nature.
- [whispers seductively in his ear]
- Pamela Isley: And I'm sure you're generous too. Ain't ya, mister?
- [takes his hand and leads him on]
- Pamela Isley: My room's not far.
- [stops and begins to shrug off her coat]
- Pamela Isley: Or maybe you don't want to wait...
- [the "gentleman" draws a knife and when she turns around posing seductively she notices it]
- Pamela Isley: No... No!
- Batman: [after fighting off the Ripper] I hope you're not hurt, Miss...?
- Selina Kyle: Damn you! You're a fool. I'll never have a better chance of stopping that butcher and you squandered it, playing the knight in shining armor! I can take care of myself.
- Batman: Don't be so sure. He's more skilled than I would have thought.
- Selina Kyle: I don't need or want your help. And before you gallantly offer to escort me home, let me assure you, I am quite capable of...
- [She looks and sees Batman is gone]
- Selina Kyle: Hmm. Well, thank you for that at least.
- Alfred Pennyworth: [catching Jason trying to pick his pocket] Gotcha.
- Jason: Let me go, geezer.
- Alfred Pennyworth: I'm afraid you lack the subtlety to be an effective cut purse, young fellow, my lad.
- [tsks]
- Alfred Pennyworth: And so near a bevy of policeman, too.
- Dickie: He didn't mean nothing, mister.
- [to Jason]
- Dickie: You idiot. You think that's how Sister Leslie would want you to act at her own funeral?
- Jason: But I'm hungry!
- Dickie: Mister, Jason here, he's not worth the trouble. Cut him loose, huh?
- Alfred Pennyworth: Orphans.
- Dickie: Sister Leslie did what she could for us. Fed us, tried to teach us right. Look, knock Jason around a little if you want, but please don't get the cops.
- Alfred Pennyworth: [after a moment's thought] I occasionally have odd jobs that need doing.
- [gives Dickie a card]
- Alfred Pennyworth: Call upon me here. You'll not go away hungry.
- [sees Bruce and Gordon approaching]
- Alfred Pennyworth: Shoo!
- Batman: I saw your work on your wife.
- James Gordon: Wives? They are the worst prostitutes of all. Sell themselves too cheap. Wives, mothers, that slut nun of yours.
- Harvey Dent: You never slow down, do you? As soon as one lover boy is unavailable, you're on to the next chump. I can't imagine what I ever saw in a whore like you.
- [Selina tries to slap Harvey but he catches her hand]
- Harvey Dent: Better sheath those claws, kitten. Someone is liable to get hurt. And sooner or later, you will.
