Batman (1989) Thriller Edit

A girl could get hurt doing this stuff.

A job and, you know.

A lot of people think you're as dangerous as the Joker.

A lovely beast like that running around...

A person will have to actually lead a different life.

A woman!

About 108, I think.

Across this nation...

Actually, Alfred is my family.

Actually, I was in the Corto Maltese.

Alexander Knox.

Alfred

Alfred, they need some more wine in the front room...

Alfred.

Alfred.

Alfred.

Alfred...

Alfred's great. I couldn't find my socks without him.

Alicia, sit down. Show the lady why you wear the mask.

Alicia...

All right, get a good look.

All right, let's go, men, let's go.

All right, let's move out.

All right, listen. You know how a normal person gets up and...

All right, look.

All right.

All right. Take a good look. This is the guy.

Although authorities have not ruled out the possibility of drug use.

American Express card.

And again.

And all of Gotham is wondering what to make of Batman.

And as you can see...

And besides...

And eats breakfast...

And fast. Do you read me?

And give Knox a grant.

And hair color so natural, only your undertaker knows for sure.

And he did it...with this pen.

And here's the sightings so far.

And I say, starting with this anniversary festival...

And I've got a surprise for Gotham City.

And I've got to go to work.

And if I may say so, quite special. Perhaps you could try telling her the truth.

And if so, is he on the police payroll?

And if so, what's he pulling down, after taxes?

And it is Batman.

And kisses somebody good bye, and goes to...

And make off with the records and say it was industrial espionage.

And maybe even a little rough.

And now, folks...

And now...

And plans continue for the city's 200th birthday...

And shed the light of the law on that nest of vipers.

And signed it in his own blood.

And so little time.

And someone named Mrs. Daley needs a copy of the menu.

And there will be entertainment.

And useless lives.

And we'd all be dead.

And we'd all be dead.

And what is the pattern?

And what's with that stupid grin?

And where is the Batman?

And without so much as an apology...

And you find out what this madman is poisoning us with.

And you're so powerful. And purple!

And, Bob...

Another rooster in the hen house?

Antoine got a little hot under the collar.

Anyway, you gonna be staying in Gotham for a while?

Aptitudes include science, chemistry, and art.

Are my number one guy.

Are my number one guy.

Are you deaf? You don't speak English?

Aren't you covering this press conference?

As Mayor Borg announced today at the unveiling...

As mayor, I promise to root out the source of this corruption...

At a beauty parlor in Gotham were discovered today.

At midnight, I will dump $20 million in cash...

Avoid the following combinations:

Back, Miss Vale? We're going to be here for quite a while.

Bad tie. No style.

Batman.

Batman.

Batman.

Batman's head on a lance.

Bats.

Be careful.

Beauty and the Beast.

Because I bought it in Japan.

Because nobody else can.

Becky, this is hardly the...

Becky.

Before the week is out...

Bet!

Better be sure.

Bob

Bob. Alicia.

Bob. Gun.

Bob. Mask.

Boo.

Boss Carl Grissom.

Brought you a little snack, Eckhardt.

Bruce Wayne, n'est ce pas?

Bruce Wayne's benefit. He'll be there, right?

Bruce, hi. It's Vicki.

Bruce?

But hairspray mixed with lipstick and perfume will be toxic, and untraceable.

But he's out there right now.

But I don't know what to think of all this. I really don't.

But I'm sure we can make you more today.

But if the forces of evil should rise again...

But one thing I am not...

But that wasn't just another night for either of us, was it?

But those words will count, and so will my actions.

But with new and improved Joker brand...

But, as my plastic surgeon always said, If you got to go...

But...

By the sudden deaths of models Candy Walker and Amanda Keeler.

Bye.

Call me.

Can I help you, sir?

Can somebody tell me what kind of a world we live in...

Can we get somebody else to do this?

Can you hear me?

Carl...

Cause of death has been attributed to a violent allergic reaction...

Check his wallet.

Check this out. He must have been King of the Wicker People.

Chemistry.

Christ. Knox.

Cologne, mouthwash, underarm deodorant?

Come on, get out of here!

Come on, Jack, let's go!

Come on, let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Come on, you gruesome son of a bitch. Come to me.

Come on! Jack!

Come on! Let's get nuts!

Come on! Up here.

Come on.

Comes the part...

Coming.

Commence au festival!

Commissioner Gordon?

Commissioner Gordon?

Commissioner! Mrs. Gordon, you look lovely.

Complex.

Could put steam in a man's strides.

Could you pass the salt?

Could you tell me which of these guys is Bruce Wayne?

Couldn't hear the train until it was 2 feet from him.

Couldn't keep it straight up here.

Crap.

Crap.

Crap.

Crap.

Crap...

Cue Becky.

Cue music.

Daddy's going to make some art, darling.

Dare I suggest that your present course of action...

Darling.

Decent people shouldn't live here.

Deodorants with baby powder, hairspray, and lipstick.

Did you do a little time together as children?

Did you get the file on my parents?

Did you have a hard time finding the house?

Do I look like I'm joking?

Do the kid a favor. Don't scream.

Do you hear the words coming out of my mouth? The festival is on!

Do you know what they say? They say he can't be killed.

Do you know what they say? They say he can't be killed.

Do you like eating in here?

Do you want to get out of here?

Doesn't this gang war dampen the city's plans for the 200th anniversary festival?

Don't be writing this stuff in the newspaper, Knox.

Don't bother.

Don't flatter yourself, angel.

Don't forget...

Don't get personal!

Don't kill me!

Don't kill me!

Don't kill me! man.

Don't leave home without it.

Don't leave out his very large bankroll.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about me. I've got enough.

Eckhardt!

Eight. I can make that eight.

Excuse me, dear. I'll be back.

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Excuse me. Mr. Wayne's table?

Excuse me.Excuse me...

Feel free to drop in.

Find out what's so special about the alley at Pearl and Phillips Streets.

Five stories. Straight down. There wasn't no blood in the body.

Five, four...

Foods, alcohol, or beauty and hygiene products?

For God's sake, Harold, can we please just get a taxi?

For instance, let me challenge you with a little piece I did.

Forget about Bruce Wayne. I'm on to Batman.

Freeze!

Fried?

Friend or foe?

Gentlemen!

Get down!

Get in the car. Get in the car!

Get me Lt. Eckhardt.

Get out of here.

Get them. Take the pictures.

Gets all of my press?

Giant, menacing, supernatural form. Kind of like a bat.

Give him a shave.

Go with a smile.

God damn it, we had him.

Goes downstairs...

Good evening. The fashion world was stunned today...

Gordon's got a file on this. I can't even get him on the phone.

Gotham City Cathedral. Transportation for two.

Gotham City.

Gotham's greed.

Grease them now?

Grieving for the loss of old friends...

Grissom gave you all his businesses?

Harvey

Harvey Dent has been sniffing around one of our front companies.

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?

Have you shipped a million of those things?

Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?

He doesn't know.

He don't look happy. He's been using brand X.

He gave us a signal.

He gives to all these humanitarian causes, and then collects all this stuff.

He got sloppy. You know, crazy.

He hung up. What have you got?

He made mistakes.

He might hand you something.

He probably does it to get chicks. They like him for his big charity balls.

He reached up with his dead hand...

He sort of reminds me of my grandfather.

He started to lose it. He had a head full of bad wiring, I guess.

He stole my balloons!

He took the film.

He was a thief and a terrorist.

He was the kind of guy who...

He's a tired old man. He can't run this city without me.

He's at home, washing his tights.

He's dead now, and he's left me in charge.

He's going to kill everybody!

He's psychotic.

He's really wonderful. He loves you a lot.

He's running Grissom's men. I need all the information the police have on him.

Hello, legs.

Hello, Lt. Eckhardt, I hear we just had us another Bat attack.

Hello, sweetheart.

Hello, Vinnie. It's your uncle Bingo.

Hello?

Help me!

Here he comes, man.

Here you go.

Here, let me lend you a hand.

Here.

Here's the inner city, there's Axis Chemicals...

Hey, all right.

Hey, bat brain, I was a kid when I killed your parents.

Hey, Batsy!

Hey, it's okay.

Hey, Knox. I got something for you.

Hey, lady...

Hey, mister. Give me a dollar.

Hi, Alfred.

Hi, honey.

Hi, I'm Vicki Vale.

Hi.

His parents were murdered in that alley.

Hold it right there!

Hold it!

Hold on a second.

Hold on!

Hold on.

Hold on.

Honey...

How about that rumor that Commissioner's got a file on the Batman?

How about you?

How childish can you get?

How did you figure this out?

How do you know?

How much do you weigh?

How's the soup?

Hurry!

I always ask that of all my prey.

I am doing my job.

I am the world's first fully functioning homicidal artist.

I answer to Grissom, not to psychos.

I called you and I called you. And you lied! You lied about leaving town.

I can't go on with that right now.

I can't make it then, either. I've got a very important meeting today.

I can't wait to hear the explanation for this one.

I didn't ask.

I don't care how deeply in debt this festival is, I want a parade.

I don't have any comment.

I don't know anything about Batman.

I don't know.

I don't know. After what happened to Johnny Gobs...

I even slept with you. I can't believe I did that.

I feel a little drunk. And you're not anything.

I feel that there's a certain weight that lifts when she is here.

I get a grin again...

I got a live one here.

I got to go. I'm late.

I have given a name to my pain...

I have no idea.

I have no wish to fill my few remaining years...

I have something I have to tell you.

I have taken off my make up.

I hear the Commissioner's even opened a file. True?

I heard that the Bat got him.

I just gotta know, are we going to try to love each other?

I just like the sound of it.

I just loved your story, and...

I just want you to do your job.

I just wouldn't want to go on.

I kind of like this one, Bob. Leave it.

I know what you're saying:

I know who you are.

I know you did.

I like bats.

I like him already.

I like him already.

I love a good party.

I love purple!

I made you, you made me first.

I make art. Until someone dies.

I mean, we both got to each other, didn't we?

I might have some trouble with that.

I need some paramedics up here now.

I need someone I can trust.

I need something tangible.

I need that.

I promised that, remember?

I read your work. I like it a lot.

I repeat. Any man who opens fire on Jack Napier will answer to me.

I saw it all.

I saw it. I was there.

I say we break into the place...

I smell fresh ink, guys. You can prove all this?

I think a lot of people might stay away, Mayor. They're scared.

I think I've embarrassed him for long enough.

I think perhaps this way, sir.

I think your friend Wayne is really screwed up.

I thought champagne would be in order, ma'am.

I thought I was a Pisces. Come on.

I thought we felt something. And I trusted you.

I tried to avoid all this, but I can't.

I want hot dogs, balloons, the whole schemer.

I want you to go down to the Globe, follow that reporter Knox.

I want you to tell all your friends about me.

I was a man doing well with a beautiful woman.

I was here first!

I was in the bath one day...

I wonder if you'd mind waiting in the next room?

I'd like to.

I'd like you to handle this operation personally.

I'd love to. I'm intrigued by Alex's giant bat stories.

I'll need a moment alone, boys.

I'll rip their lungs out.

I'll see you when I get there. Bye.

I'll show you some photos.

I'll talk to you guys when you get back.

I'm a lot happier.

I'm a man of few words.

I'm about...

I'm an artist.

I'm Batman.

I'm glad he's dead.

I'm glad you're dead.

I'm glad you're dead.

I'm going to kill you.

I'm going to need a minute or two alone, boys.

I'm here to see some of the wildlife in Gotham City.

I'm in charge here, not Carl Grissom.

I'm in trouble now.

I'm losing confidence in you. I thought we were a team.

I'm meeting someone who wants to see my work.

I'm melting!

I'm melting! Help me! I'm melting!

I'm no Picasso, but do you like it?

I'm not going to kill you. I want you to do me a favor.

I'm not meeting her today.

I'm not sure.

I'm of a mind to make some mooky.

I'm off to bed.

I'm only laughing on the outside.

I'm reading your stuff.

I'm really crying.

I'm relieved that you're home, sir.

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna be 10 minutes late to the museum.

I'm telling you, man, a giant bat!

I'm the acting president.

I'm trying to get a...Taxi!

I'm very upset.

I've been dead once already.

I've got an idea. How about lunch at my place?

I've got to get you to the church on time.

I've loved you since I met you.

I've recently had a tragedy in my life.

I've seen your photographs from Corto Maltese, haven't I?

If Grissom knew about us...

If Grissom knew about us...

If he ties us in with Axis Chemicals, we're dead and buried.

If I bring something to you, can we make the evening edition?

If not now...

If there were, we would find and arrest him.

If this clown could touch Grissom, I'd have handed him his lungs by now.

If we can't do business, we'll just shake hands and that'll be it.

If we could put our hands on him, we'd have Grissom.

If you can take off yours.

If you could see inside...

Into the air, Junior Birdman!

Is a ...

Is a killer!

Is that what you heard?

Is that your portfolio?

Is there a 6 foot bat in Gotham City?

Is truly mightier than the sword.

Isn't anybody going to go on record?

It always brings a smile to my face.

It can be truly said that I have a bat in my belfry.

It is legitimate.

It was fun.

It was the same in front of City Hall.

It'll ruin your already useless reputation.

It's a little weird, Lieutenant.

It's an important job.

It's as though we were made for each other.

It's great.

It's great.

It's hard to stay inside the lines.

It's Japanese.

It's just something I have to do.

It's Knox.

It's me.

It's not a perfect world.

It's not exactly a normal world, is it?

It's on your table, sir.

It's time for, Who Do You Trust?

It's time to retire.

It's very liberating.

Jack is dead, my friend.

Jack Napier, assault with a deadly weapon, age 15.

Jack, listen.

Jack, you said I could watch you improve the paintings.

Jack?

Jack.

Jack.

Jesus marimba!

Jesus!

Jesus.

Joker here.

Joker.

Just barely. Is it hot?

Just the two of us.

Keep move.

Kill the camera.

Knox, for the ninth time, there is no Bat.

Leading his gray pony with me on its back...

Lend you a hand.

Let him go, or I'll do Gordon!

Let me down!

Let me down!

Let me down!

Let me tell you about this guy I know, Jack.

Let me tell you what I'm thinking about, sweetie.

Let's beat it, man. I don't like it up here.

Let's broaden our minds. Lawrence.

Let's go across. Come on.

Let's go, come on. Get out of here.

Let's go, Jack!

Let's go!

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's make up. Have a little...

Let's see...

Lieutenant, every punk in this town is scared stiff.

Life's been good to me.

Like a sack of old potatoes, covered in mud and nursing a sprained ankle.

Like...bats.

Listen, I came over to...

Listen, if you want me to pose nude, you're gonna need a long lens.

Listen.

Listen.

Look at the look on the face.

Look at this mirror.

Look at this stuff.

Look, man, Johnny Gobs got ripped and took a walk off a roof. No big loss.

Lots of space.

Love that Joker.

Love that Joker.

Makes a connection with us and with Axis Chemicals.

Mano y mano.

Masks! Put them on now!

May I come in?

May I have a glass of water?

Maybe Batman has some kind of flight pattern or something.

Maybe it should be Bruce Vain.

Maybe we can cut a deal.

Maybe we...

Me, too. I'm protecting my partner.

Me?

Mean kid. Bad seed. Hurt people.

Might simply strengthen her resolve?

Mirror!

Mirror.

Miss me?

Miss Vale telephoned. She was rather concerned.

Miss Vale, this just arrived for you.

Missed me!

Money, money! Who do you trust?

More good news.

Most of the time.

Move it!

Mr. Dent, I love that tie.

Mr. Dent, what do you think about the theory...

Mr. Grissom asked me, as a personal favor...

Mr. Joker?

Mr. Knox, we have enough problems in this city...

Mr. Wayne told me to tell you...

Mr. Wayne.

My balloons!

My face on the one dollar bill.

My feet are killing me.

My friend...

My life is really...

My pictures, your words. Pulitzer Prize material. Just think.

My smile is just skin deep.

Napier's cleaning out Axis Chemicals.

Napier's cleaning out Axis Chemicals.

Never rub another man's rhubarb.

New and improved Joker products!

Nice outfit.

Nice place you got here. Lots of space.

Nice talking with you, Wayne.

No blood.

No can do. I got a date. With Bruce Wayne.

No shit. It was all over the pavement.

No, Allie.

No, I'm not married.

No, man, that ain't what I heard at all.

No?

No?

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Let me guess.

Nobody wants a war.

Nothing's wrong.

Now that's good work.

Now you fellows have said some pretty mean things...

Now, I can be theatrical...

Now, let's go over...

Now, our new District Attorney, Harvey Dent...

Now, remember, the more they've got, the less they're worth.

Now...

Of course, if anyone else calls you beast...

Of the burden of your failed...

Oh, certainly.

Oh, God.

Oh, my God, you're married.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, right. The Batman.

Okay, bye.

Okay, fine, thank you. Wait a minute, Alfred.

Okay, thank you.

Okay, we'll do it later in the day.

Okay, you're a visionary. You're also the only one who believes me.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

On the crowd.

On the other hand, he had a tremendous singing voice.

One drink and I'm flying.

Open, what, six? Six?

Open, what, six? Six?

Or their sons.

Or worse yet, there may be no pattern.

Ought to give them a couple of days to think it over.

Our accountants are looking into it. We assure you, the affidavit is legitimate.

Our police have rounded up all the Joker's men.

Our streets are overrun, our public officials are helpless.

Pardon me, but that's not a denial.

People of Gotham City...

Peter.

Please inform the citizens of Gotham...

Please, leave everything. I'll tidy up in the morning.

Point those searchlights up at the tower, right now! Move!

Police Commissioner Gordon has informed me...

Police Department.

Poor kid watched the whole thing happen in front of him.

Pretty tough talk about Carl.

Public safety in Gotham City is no longer a laughing matter.

Put on a happy face.

Put that away. We'll look like tourists.

Question. How do we call him?

Really?

Really?

Really. I've just got to go out of town on business for a few days.

Remember, you...

Results of psychological profile...

Right.

Safe products are flying in as Gotham City goes on a forced fast.

Say this...

See if you can get up on the catwalk on that side.

See that thing on my belt? Grab it.

See what he knows about this Batman.

See you around, kid.

See?

See?

Shall we dance?

She is a living work of art.

She is great, isn't she?

She is quite tenacious.

She'll be 10 minutes late in meeting you at the museum.

She's about to trade up.

She's just a sketch, really.

She's the photographer who's working with Knox.

Shields open.

Shields.

Ship them all! We're going to take them out a whole new door!

Shoot her!

Shoot to kill. You know what I mean?

Sir, a message from Miss Vale.

Sir, Commissioner Gordon was compelled to leave.

Sir, Miss Vale called again.

Six new deaths, with no clues as to the Joker's deadly weapon.

Smart thinking. That's the way to go. In fact...

Smylex gas.

Smylex!

So much to do and so little time.

So much to do...

So now, like me...

So, gentlemen, that's how it is. Until Grissom resurfaces...

So, remember...

So, truce.

So, what brings you here?

So, what can I do for you?

Some kind of body armor. He's human after all.

Some of it is very much me.

Some of it isn't.

Some of which were true...

Some people say the same thing about you.

Some people think she has two.

Somebody always gets in the way?

Sometimes I don't know what to think about this.

Sometimes I just kill myself!

Sometimes...

Son of a bitch...

Sorry, Knox. These two slipped on a banana peel.

Stop the press!

Stop.

Stop.

Sugar bumps.

Suicide? Wait, I want to get this on tape.

Sure.

Sure. Go ahead.

Sure. Okay.

Suspected of fronting for the syndicate in this city.

Take care, Allie.

Take off the mask.

Take that to the press.

Take thy beak from out my heart.

Take your camera.

Taxi!

Tell me if I'm crazy.

Tell me something, my friend.

Tell me, kid.

Tell me, what do you know about...

Ten seconds to transmission.

Terrorizes...

Thank God, you're alive! I heard you'd been...

Thank you, Mayor Borg. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Hi. I'd like to go to the Adelphi Hotel.

Thanks anyway.

Thanks for being so concerned. Bye.

Thanks for the tip.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks. Can I have a grant?

Thanks. Thank you very much. That's very nice of you.

That dining room is definitely not you.

That girl has style.

That Gotham City's earned a rest from crime.

That he has targeted those businesses...

That he might be a little late.

That is all behind me. I now do what other people only dream.

That luscious tan...

That the mysterious Batman is a mob enforcer killing these men?

That was the first and last time I gave him a riding lesson.

That wasn't easy to get over! And don't think that I didn't try.

That you, sugar bumps?

That's a little bit light after the war in Corto Maltese, isn't it?

That's a pretty big favor. You two must have been very close.

That's all I can think of.

That's all, gentlemen. Thank you.That's all.

That's my territory. If there's a problem, I deal with it.

That's not exactly what I had in mind, sir.

That's not true, is it?

That's the gag. Chances are, you bought them already!

That's what, eight sightings now in just under a month?

That's why he went there.

The 200th anniversary birthday gala has been indefinitely postponed.

The Bat? Give me a break, will you?

The big dukeroo. With me in one corner, and in the other corner...

The dining room isn't.

The festival opens. The police are gonna stop these gangsters.

The fumes in that place...

The guy's a stiff. He's a rich stiff, but you could do much better.

The Joker's tainted hundreds of chemicals at the source.

The man who has brought real terror to Gotham City...

The one dollar bill.

The pen...

The photos.

The poison only works when components are mixed. Hairspray won't do it alone.

The reign of crime is over.

The rich...

The search goes on through Gotham's shopping nightmare.

The skulls, the bodies.

The soup. How is it?

The words Gotham City are synonymous with crime.

Then he ended up with his lights out! Now you want to get nuts?

Then this guy must be the most worthless guy in America.

Then whole shipments of products would be poisoned.

Then you wouldn't return my calls. You must be some kind of jerk.

There ain't no Bat.

There he is! Down there! Go down!

There is something else you have that I want.

There was young Master Bruce...

There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight

There's an awful lot of stairs in this place.

There's nothing in these files. No photos, no histories, no nothing. Who is this guy?

They don't make them like they used to!

They had a house on the lake. Nothing like this, but...

They say he drinks blood.
