• [Sal walks through the remains of the "Future of Gotham" park as the robots sing; then the Joker enters] 

  Joker : I hate that song... Gasp! Can it be? Old Sally "the Wheezer" Valestra! Welcome, paisan! It's been a dog's age!

  Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : [nervously]  Hello, Joker. Didn't mean to drop by unannounced.

• Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : Hello, Joker. Didn't mean to drop by unannounced.

• The Joker : Come, have a seat, Sal. Tell me what's on your so-called mind.

  Salvatore Valestra : It's Batman. He's gone nuts. First he whacked Chuckie Sol, then Buzz, and now he's after me.

  The Joker : You know, I've been reading lately how old guano-man is wound tight enough to snap. Ooh, wouldn't it be great if I've finally driven him off the deep end?

  Salvatore Valestra : This isn't a joke! Batman's knocking us off, and you're the only one who can take him down.

  [opening a briefcase] 

  Salvatore Valestra : Look, 5 million up front, with whatever you want to finish him off.

  The Joker : [yawning in bordeom]  What do I look like, pest control?

  Salvatore Valestra : Think, you fool! Once he gets me, how long 'til he gets you? You know what I'm talking about. Your hands are just as dirty. Dirtier!

• Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : All I want to know is, is it true? Is the Batman really hitting our people?

  Arthur Reeves : We have eyewitnesses.

  Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : Beautiful. That's just beautiful. Why? He never leaned on us before. I'm too old for this.

  Arthur Reeves : I suppose you could demand police protection.

  Salvatore "Sal The Wheezer" Valestra : What are you, a comedian? This is the Batman we're talking about here. A freak job! He'll crucify me!
