Quotes 

• Lex Luthor : [getting into his limousine]  The office. Now.

  Harley Quinn : Swell, Mr. L.

  Lex Luthor : Mr. L? Mercy?

  Harley Quinn : Oh, yeah, she had a little accident.

  Lex Luthor : [she locks the doors and drives out into traffic]  All right, missy, I don't know what your game is, but I promise you, you'll pay dearly for this. You're dead! Do you hear me?

  Harley Quinn : [yawning]  Blah, blah, blah. Whoa, mama! Check out the cute hitchhiker!

  The Joker : [showing leg like a femme fatale]  Yoo-hoo!

  Lex Luthor : [Harley stops the car and he gets in]  Joker.

  The Joker : Lexy, old kid, do I have a deal for you.

• The Joker : Carlini, all that spicy food. You look a little gassy.

  Ceasar Carlini : [having laughing gas sprayed in his face]  No! Stop!

  The Joker : [dragging a laughing Carlini, tied up in a sack, to a storage pantry]  Adios, muchacho.

  [to Carlini's henchmen] 

  The Joker : Holy guacamole. Looks like you need a new leader. I nominate me.

  Harley Quinn : I second the nomination.

  The Joker : All opposed?

• The Joker : [Harley sprays laughing gas into an antique shopowner's face]  Good work, Harley, girl. Now, what would be a suitable trade for our joke-in-the-box?

  [a jade dragon catches his eye] 

  The Joker : Ooh! For some reason, this just speaks to me. What do you think, Harl?

  Harley Quinn : It's you, puddin'.

  [straining, he yanks it off its base] 

  The Joker : [to the dead shopkeeper as they leave]  Awfully nice doing business with you. Ta. What a pleasant fellow.

• The Joker : Caesar Carlini, my old pal! Why, I haven't seen you since... wait, I've never seen you, have I? You need to get out more.

  Ceasar Carlini : Who is this clown?

  The Joker : Not clown... Joker. I'm town on business, and I need a place to hang my hat.

  Ceasar Carlini : Try the Motel 9.

  The Joker : But it'll be so much cozier at your place, like a sleepover.

  Ceasar Carlini : Are you nuts? Kill him!

  Harley Quinn : [Carlini's henchmen draw guns on him]  Ooh, can I play, too?

  [bouncing on them on a pogo stick] 

  Harley Quinn : Boingy. Boingy. Boingy.

• The Joker : Ooh! Rich Corinthian leather.

  Lex Luthor : What do you want?

  The Joker : I sense we are kindred spirits, you and I. Oh, there are differences, to be sure, like hair. But underneath it all, we're both entrepreneurs, men of vision. We see an opportunity we grab it. Am I right?

  [Lex doesn't answer] 

  The Joker : Right. But in the past few weeks, I've had a run of bad luck. Bad luck that wears a cape. Thanks to that miserable, pointy-eared rodent Batman, all my operations in Gotham City have been shut down. But you, too, have an overgrown bully in long underwear, which brings me to my little proposition.

  Lex Luthor : I'm listening.

  The Joker : Pay me $1 billion, and I'll kill Superman.

  Lex Luthor : [chuckling]  What makes you think you can kill Superman when you can't even handle a mere mortal in a Halloween costume?

  The Joker : There's nothing mere about Batmortal. Besides, I've read up on your flyboy. I know his weakness.

  [showing Lex the statue he stole] 

  The Joker : See? Solid kryptonite.

  Lex Luthor : You know I can't be connected to this in any way.

  The Joker : Oh, you'll be Mr. Clean. I promise. Deal?

  Lex Luthor : [shaking hands]  Deal.
