Just leave me alone.

Don't you have "real" threats to be playing? I'm not gonna sit here and beg you to take me somewhere. I've got an iota of self-respect, and I know this itch of yours is going to last five seconds before it's scratched enough.

So get bent and get back to that skinny freak of yours. You can't play us both in the same game.

Not having a good day, Killer?

[ugh it's you.] You wouldn't, either, if you were eternal second string. Maybe even third string.

Oh, wait. Forgot who I was talking to. The guy who passed up a clear shot at the Bat.

I made my decision. You were in the wrong. One day the Bat's day may come, but that was not it.

This is why nobody takes us seriously, you know. They take Joker seriously. They take Croc seriously.

We don't kill people.

Would you prefer to be one of them? Indiscriminate, meaningless murder?

I want respect. [this a low guttural growl] If I have to get it climbing on corpses, I can do that.

Murder on its own will not get you respect.

Ever tried it?

Tried? Yes.

You couldn't kill somebody even when you were trying? Is that what you're saying?

[ Well... yes, but. ] That is not the point. I am willing to kill if truly necessary. If the death has meaning. That is not what you are advocating.

....you mean kill somebody on their birthday?

While fitting to have a day of death on a day of birth, no. That is not what I mean.

You can't play us both.

[smirk]

I've heard that refrain somewhere else before.

Let me guess. Gotham.

Good guess, sherlock. [no he's just using the phrase, he doesn't actually know...]

Mun says you've got the same problem. So is it a rival or a girlfriend or a sibling, or what?

[Narrowing his eyes. God damn it. Since no one's used the phrase with him, though, he just assumes he's heard otherwise.]

There are a couple that can't have overlap. A rival, yes. And a commissioner.

A commissioner?

She thinks you'd know him. [A smirk.]

But then she'd have to give up me, as if that will ever happen.

Is it a requirement in Gotham for everyone to be a touch ridiculous? [Gently... prodding...]

Gordon? [uncertainly] He's good people. As far as pigs go.

So who are you that you'd conflict? [squints from behind the mask] You a cop?

[surprisingly doesn't blow up offended at that] There's two kinds of criminals in Gotham City, okay? Psychopaths and jokes. If you're not one, you're the other.

Oh my goodness.

I can't believe no one made the moth to the flame reference. For shame.

Funny, riddle man. Really funny.

I thought it was, yes.

[awww she's feeling nostalgic]

You could always give up being a third-rate super villain and try something legitimate.

I am not third rate.

[what is missing the point]
