- Batman: Harvey, give me your other hand! I need both your hands to save you!
- Two-Face: [hanging from a ledge] What, what should I do? The coin won't tell me...
- Batman: It won't tell you ANYTHING! I switched coins when you grabbed me! It's a trick coin, it'll always land on edge! It's YOUR choice now, Harvey: life or death, the coin or me!
- [after a pause, Dent drops the coin]
- Harvey Dent: Batman, help me.
- [Batman pulls him up...]
- Two-Face: Never!
- [lets go of Batman's hand, and falls]
- Harvey Dent: Good old Bruce. He's never given up on me. Always been my best friend. I remember when we used to close the town at the Half Moon Club. The most fun we ever had. Heard they were tearing the old place down. I guess nothing good lasts forever.
- Frankie: [Frankie and another thug pull a tied and gagged Robin out of the car and carry him to the railing of the bridge] You know, when I was a kid, I used to fish around here. Can't do it anymore. Know why? Too much garbage. You wouldn't believe the stuff people toss in the river. It's disgusting.
- [the two thugs throw Robin over the side, but he has already cut his bonds as the thugs head back to the car]
- Frankie: People today got no respect for Mother Nature.
- [Robin fires his grapple as the thugs get into the car]
- Frankie: Sooner or later, just you wait, they'll be sorry.
- [Robin swings into the car and knocks the thugs out]
- Robin: Not all the garbage is in the river.
- The Penguin: Dance, my little ones. Dance for Penguin.
- [birds dance]
- The Penguin: Excellent. A Terpsichorean triumph.
- [sees Batman outside his window]
- The Penguin: And what might you be doing out there? Catching insects for dinner?
- Batman: I'm looking for Two Face.
- The Penguin: Why? Did you lose him?
- [chuckles as he goes to feed his birds]
- Batman: Somebody kidnapped him from Gotham Central tonight. You and he had a disagreement some time ago, didn't you?
- The Penguin: It's true. Harvey stole a rara avis right out from under my beak several months ago. A jewel-encrusted statuette of a two-headed roc. It was worth millions. But, my dear rodent, I'd never kidnap a fellow rogue out of a sickbed. It just isn't done.
- Batman: Honor among thieves?
- The Penguin: Absolutely. If I were going to attack Harvey, I'd do it face-to-face to-face, so to speak. Like this!
- [sends his flock of birds to attack Batman before pushing the Dark Knight down the wall of the prison. A searchlight comes on]
- The Penguin: Over here, you fools. He's down there. Down there.
- [the searchlight shows that Batman is gone, much to Penguin's disappointment]
- Batman: The van was registered to Rupert Thorne.
- Robin: But Harvey was in the sedan. It was headed for Stonegate.
- Batman: The Penguin's at Stonegate. He's had a grudge against Two-Face for a while now. Maybe this is his revenge.
- Robin: Sorry I wasn't able to stop him.
- Batman: I'm sure you did your best.
- Robin: Don't gush all over me. It's embarrassing.
- Batman: Sorry. Harvey's my friend. I'm worried about him.
- Robin: Right. And I'm just a kid in tights.
- Rupert Thorne: Frankie here says they found you snooping around my roof. Why? What are you trying to find?
- Robin: Not what, Thorne, who. Somebody grabbed Harvey Dent out of Gotham Central Hospital.
- Rupert Thorne: [roaring with laughter] Somebody nabbed Two-Face and you thought I did it? Oh, oh, that's great. I wish. I really hate that guy. He tried to put me out of business. I've been planning what I'd do if I ever got my hands on him again, and I'll tell you... no, better yet, as long as you're here, I'll show you. Boys, take the boy wonder here down to Gotham Gate Bridge and see how well he flies.
- [his thugs stand Robin up]
- Rupert Thorne: Thanks for giving an old man a good laugh, kid. Nice knowing you.
- Dick Grayson: [Two-Face is led back into Arkham] He's right. You're always there for him.
- Bruce Wayne: Yes. Just like you're always there for me.
- Dick Grayson: Hey, what are friends for?
- Batman: Doctors and nurses working in the O.R. wear paper socks over their shoes. So this footprint had to be made by one of the kidnappers.
- [touching it and rubbing his fingers together]
- Batman: Masonry dust. I know where to find him now.
- Robin: Find who? Who did this?
- Batman: Harvey's worst enemy. I'll take it from here.
- Robin: Wait a second. You might need me.
- Batman: Not this time, Robin. This is something I have to do alone.
- Two-Face: See this? It's the remote control for that detonator. Once my boys and I get down to the ground, I'll use it to set off that dynamite. Unless, of course, the coin says different. What do you say, Batman? Feeling lucky?
- Batman: [restrained] Looks like I don't have much choice.
- [Two-Face flips the coin into the air]
- Batman: Let it hit the floor! I wanna see it!
- Two-Face: [seeing it land on its edge] That can't happen.
- [flipping it again, with the same result]
- Two-Face: No, it isn't possible! It can't land on edge. It has to be heads or tails. How can I decide if it isn't heads or tails?
- [trying a third time]
- Two-Face: On edge. It's still on edge.
