Joker (The Dark Knight) - Hostage

Transcript

Now you stay right there and don't move or else we all go boom. How long does SWAT take to get here? They should be coming in in about two and a half minutes.

That means we have a little bit of time to talk to each other to get to know each other until they come, right? But you know who's truly gonna get here faster? The Batman.

Oh, the Batman. He really is something else, isn't he? He has a way of captivating all of us.

I'm captivated by him. But you know what? You want to know why? You want to know why he captivates me? It's because we're cut from the same cloth, him and me.

But he doesn't want to accept that. He doesn't. No.

He just wants to keep pretending that that city gives a shit about him. They truly don't. None of you do.

You all want to just praise the Batman for the things that he does, but you don't really understand what he signifies, right? He signifies something darker. Someone that's been traumatized into doing your legwork.

None of you really care if he takes all the beatings, if he does all the work for you. You're all gonna praise him and say, oh, the Batman, he uh, he's their friend. He truly cares, right? But no.

No. You don't truly care about him. You don't.

That's all right. That's okay. You're all fucking savage.

Anyways, you'll turn on him. You always do. And I almost got him last time.

But this time, this time, I am truly gonna show him what this town, what this city thinks of him. How every single one of you is gonna turn on him. Oh, it's gonna be biblical.

I wonder if he believes in God. I guess that doesn't really matter now, does it? It doesn't.

Oh, there's movement. They're coming. You can hear them.

Can't you? You can. They think that they have any plan.

They have plans. They think they're gonna be able to get you out. But they won't.

They won't be able to. No. They won't.

Hmm. Now, let's see who calls. That'll probably be Gordon.

And he's always had a way with intruding on my plans. Hmm. Yeah, I do have plans.

But they're always for Batman. For the bat. Hmm.

We'll see what they come up with, won't we? Won't we? Shh, shh, shh.

Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry.

It'll be okay. Not for you, but. ..

Not for you, but for everyone else that isn't here, it'll be fine. My question is to you. Do you have children? Because maybe they can carry your legacy after you're gone.

Wait. You hear that? It's him.

Batsy.
