- Nurse Pearl: Four of Gotham's best and brightest. Dr Cavendish has been "entertaining" them until you get there.
- Dr Harleen Quinzel: Well with any luck they'll eat him alive. So do I have any friends up there or is it a Rogues Gallery?
- Nurse Pearl: You were down in maximum security. I was looking everywhere for you. You have security badge access to level 2. Did you see him? [Harleen slowly nods and Pearl pulls her in for a hug] Breathe.

Ted: Dad is... still really sad.
Joker: Is mom still sleeping?

- Joker: I thought you were supposed to be watching dad...
Ted: I am.
Joker: He's here now?
Ted: Mhm. Yeah.

- Joker: [slowly turns to security guards] Times up?
- Ted: [hugs Joker and slips him the spoon]
Joker: Save me a piece of cake, Ted. Ideally one with a gun in it.
- Dr Jeremiah Arkham:[over the intercom ] Good evening Arkham Asylum this announcement if for the doctors, staff, patients and prisoners of this care facility or as I like to call you: guests. For those of you who don't know your history, this estate used to be home to Amadeus Arkham. He's been in my family for decades, until it was converted into this asylum. And through the years you've all found your way here. One by one. And all of you have outstayed your welcome. Make no mistakes these are desperate times, and like me your options have run out. All of the exits have been closed off except for the front door. You are all free to leave. But should you decide to stay, you will be considered a trespasser, and trespassers will be hunted and put down. I'm taking back what is rightfully mine. Arkham Asylum no longer belongs to you. This is my home.
- Nurse Pearl: We've got to get out of here.
- Dr Harleen Quinzel: I'm. Not. Running.
- Dr Jeremiah Arkham:All the exits have been closed off except for the front door. You are all free to leave. But should you decide to stay you will be considered tresspassers and tresspassers will be hunted and put down.
- Dr Crane: I'd like my office back. [knocks Harleen out with fear gas]
- Joker: [to dying security guard]Of course you realise... this means war.[pulls out the broken glass from his stomach] Ta Da.
