- Scarface: This is gettin' old, Bats. Last chance. Who's the traitor?
- Batman: Him. The ventriloquist.
- The Ventriloquist: No! No! He's lying! I told you when he came into my room!
- Scarface: So what? Maybe you did 'cause I had you cornered. Heard you talking to Batman.
- Batman: [throwing his voice] Shut up, you blockhead!
- Scarface: What did you say?
- The Ventriloquist: I-It wasn't me! I didn't say that! My lips didn't move!
- Scarface: So what? You're a ventriloquist! You're also a lying, yellow, liver-belled, two-faced...
- The Ventriloquist: No, Scarface, not me! I'm loyal! I'd never...
- Batman: He's been feeding me information in return for legal protection.
- [throwing his voice again]
- Batman: You're going up the river, sawdust for brains!
- Batman: It's called multiple personality syndrome disorder, Alfred. Two personalities in one brain, completely separate. Neither one knows what the other is thinking. Listen.
- Scarface: Batman's so hot, let's see him swim Gotham Bay in concrete boots.
- The Ventriloquist: A good idea, Mr. Scarface.
- Scarface: Bet your bowtie I'm right, dummy. Say, who dresses you, anyway?
- The Ventriloquist: Oh, you're such a kidder, Mr. Scarface.
- Alfred Pennyworth: I'd swear it was two separate people.
- Batman: You're not alone. Even the computer is fooled. When I studied with Zatara the magician, he taught me about ventriloquism and voice-throwing, how to make your voice seem to come from across the room. This ventriloquist could give Zatara lessons.
- Scarface: See, the Bat's not so tough. Comes up against Scarface, he's just another dummy. It was a trap, Bats, start to finish. And you fell for it like a world-class sucker. The dummy spilled the beans you'd been in his room. I had the room searched, and lookee what I found.
- [the Ventriloquist takes out his bowtie, and Scarface kicks it the ground, revealing Batman's bug on the back]
- Batman: You're not as smart as you think you are, Scarface.
- Scarface: I'd watch my mouth if I were you, Bats. One bullet through that rope, and you're history. Get my point?
- Batman: My advice to you, don't make a sound. I'm looking for evidence. Evidence of your previous robberies.
- The Ventriloquist: R-R-Robberies?
- Batman: Don't be coy. Cooperate, and it could go easier for you.
- The Ventriloquist: H-He doesn't tell me anything. Not his plans, not where he hides the loot. I swear, I'm just a flunky. I know nothing.
- Batman: You can think I'm dumb, just don't talk to me like I'm dumb.
- Scarface: There's a shipment of platinum gonna be loaded onto the luxury liner Majestic. We're gonna...
- Mugsy: P-Platinum? But, boss, don't they send stuff like that by freighter?
- Scarface: I'm talking here!
- Mugsy: Okay, okay. Sorry, boss.
- Scarface: It's a trick, see? They think no one will suspect the shipment's on a liner, but they're like youse mugs: stupid, not smart, like me. We'll slip in, get the goods, and skedaddle before the ship leaves the harbor. One more thing. I smell a double-cross. Woke up last night with one of them whatchamacallits... a prema... premanotion.
- The Ventriloquist: Premonition?
- Commissioner James Gordon: [startled by Batman] Have pity on an old man's blood pressure.
- Batman: What is it, Jim?
- Commissioner James Gordon: We're taking a pounding over this new gang. Their boss puts heists together smooth as a Swiss watchmaker.
- Batman: What have you got for me?
- Commissioner James Gordon: Not much. We don't know who the boss is or any of the gang members. But a home video enthusiast taped the gang leaving the scene of their latest crime.
- [offering a videocassette]
- Commissioner James Gordon: Interested?
- Batman: Always.
- Commissioner James Gordon: Let me know if you need any...
- [seeing he's gone]
- Commissioner James Gordon: ...help?
- Scarface: What's so important I can't get a good night's sleep?
- Rhino: Uh... Batman's got me figured, Scarface. I don't know how, but he came down on me like a cast-iron safe.
- Ratso: Batman? We're talking real trouble. What are we gonna...
- Scarface: Hey, hey! Who you talking to, creep? He's just the hired help. I'm the boss here! You talk to me!
- Mugsy: Sorry, boss. He's new. He don't know the score.
- Scarface: Yeah, well, he better get with the program pretty quick. I don't stand for no lack of respect. This Batman business can only mean one thing: we got us... a squealer.
- Mugsy: No, boss. That can't be. None of us want to screw up a sweet deal like this.
- Scarface: Glad to hear it, Mugsy. 'Cause if there is and I find him, it's drapes for that rat!
- The Ventriloquist: Now, Mr. Scarface, remember your blood pressure.
- Scarface: Shut up! I want your opinion, dummy, I'll pull your string.
