The Dark Knight Favorite lines from TDK.............

[FoJacob]

I said this before in this thread, but having seen the movie a third time yesterday I just really have to say again that my favorite line belongs to Gordon, speaking to Maroni outside Dent's hospital room.

"You should have thought of that before you let the clown out of the box."

Pretty much describes the whole movie, right there. t:

Others:

Joker: "I want my phone call. I want it... I want it... I want my phone call."
Spoken just like a little kid. And the cop's response: "That's nice".

Joker: "You were a schemer. You had plans. And look how that turned out."

Joker: "Me?? I was right here. Who did you leave him with? One of your people? Or are they Maroni's?" I love how he turns it around and places the blame for Dent's disappearance on poor Gordon.

Joker: "Don't talk like you're one of them. You're not. Even if you'd like to be. You see to them, you're just a freak. Like me! They need you now, but one day... They'll cast you out. Like a leper." This is brilliant. One freak talking honestly to another. And you can feel how much Batman's anger is building because, deep down inside, he knows it's true.

Joker: "I'm like a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one!" One of the brilliant things about Heath's performance was the way he changed his voice - not from one line to the next, but multiple times within the same line. The way he says "I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one!" is like insanity perfectly encapsulated.

Batman: "Surely he has friends?"
Maroni: "Friends? Have you met this guy?" t:

Dent: "I guess no answer is a no. Is it someone else? Just tell me it's not Wayne, he's such a..."

I would love to have heard what he was going to call him!

 

[LostGuy]

Joker: "The mob has plans. The cops have plans. Gordon's got plans. See, they're schemers. Schemerts trying to control their little worlds. I am not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are."

 

[CJWilkie]

"Two-Face! Show me how to punch a guy!"

Oh my god I nearly died from laughter reading that.

Joker's laugh before he says "and I thought my jokes were bad" cracked me up. And when he refers to Lau as "the television".

Joker saying that Batman truly is incorruptible, and that they are destined to do their merry dance forever portrayed their relationship perfectly in my opinion too.

Joker's "hiii". And when he sings to Two-Face at the hospital about his plan and how he "turned it on itself".

There were too many great lines...

 

[SlyGuyTtjn]

Gordon - "Where is Dent?"

Joker - "What time is it?"

Gordon - "Why does that matter?"

Joker - "Because at one point he could be there, and at another point he could be in several places at once!"

... Or something like that.

 

[TNC9852002]

Gordon - "Where is Dent?"

Joker - "What time is it?"

Gordon - "Why does that matter?"

Joker - "Because at one point he could be there, and at another point he could be in several places at once!"

... Or something like that.

HAHA! You butchered it!

Joker: "What's the time?"
Gordon: "What difference does that make?"
Joker: "Well, depending on the time, he could be in one place, or in several!"

lol sorry, I saw it really early this morning, and then we snuck into 4 more movies after that, and I got a terrible headache and just woke up from a nap. lol

 

[Ziggyman]

The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules! - Joker

Is it?

...Not my favourite...But makes you think.

 

[TNC9852002]

lol sorry, I saw it really early this morning, and then we snuck into 4 more movies after that, and I got a terrible headache and just woke up from a nap. lol

You did what into 4 more movies?!

[The Caped Knight]

Bruce Wayne: I need a new suit.

Lucius Fox: Yes, three buttons is a little '90's, Mr. Wayne.

Lucius Fox: I'm not talking fashion, so much as function.
[hands him a diagram]

Lucius Fox: You want to be able to turn your head.

Bruce Wayne: Sure would make backing out of the driveway easier.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Two-Face: You thought we could be decent men in an indecent world. But you were wrong; the world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance.

Two-Face: Unbiased.

Two-Face: Unprejudiced. Fair.

 

[The Caped Knight]

Lucius Fox: Now for High-Altitude jumps, You need oxygen and stabilizers. I must say, compared to your usual requests, jumping out of a plane is pretty straight forward .

Bruce Wayne: What about getting back into the plane?

Lucius Fox: I would recommend you find a good travel agent.

Bruce Wayne: Without it landing.

Lucius Fox: [smiles] Now that's more like it, Mr. Wayne.

 

[magicangel1989]

Here's some more of my favorite lines:

Gamble: [to The Joker] Give me one reason why I shouldn't have my boy here rip your head off.
The Joker: How about a magic trick?
[pulls out a pencil and sticks it upright into the table]
The Joker: I'm gonna make this pencil... disappear.
[Gamble's thug walks over to kill The Joker, who pushes his face into the pencil and kills him]
The Joker: Ta-daa! It's... gone! t:

[Batman has just fought off Scarecrow and a group of Batman wannabes]
Batman: Don't let me find you out here again.
Brian: We're trying to help you!
Batman: I don't need help.
Dr. Jonathan Crane: Not my diagnosis!
Brian: What gives you the right? What's the difference between you and me?
[Batman lowers himself into the Batmobile]
Batman: I'm not wearing hockey pads!

The Joker: [speaking to Two-Face] Do I really look like a man with a plan, Harvey? I don't have a plan. The mob has plans, the cops have plans. You know what I am, Harvey? I'm a dog chasing cars. I wouldn't know what to do if I caught one. I just *do* things. I'm a wrench in the gears. I *hate* plans. Yours, theirs, everyone's. Maroni has plans. Gordon has plans. Schemers trying to control their worlds. I am not a schemer. I show schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So when I say that what happened to you and your girlfriend wasn't personal, you know I'm telling the truth.
[hands Two-Face a gun]
The Joker: It's a schemer who put you where you are. You were a schemer. You had plans. Look where it got you. I just did what I do best-I took your plan and turned it on itself. Look what I have done to this city with a few drums of gas and a couple bullets. Nobody panics when the expected people get killed. Nobody panics when things go according to plan, even if the plans are horrifying. If I tell the press that tomorrow a gangbanger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will get blown up, nobody panics. But when I say one little old mayor will die, everyone loses their minds! Introduce a little anarchy, you upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I am an agent of chaos. And you know the thing about chaos, Harvey? It's fair.
[with the gun in Two-Face's hand, he places the gun to his forehead; Two-Face pauses and takes out his coin]
Two-Face: [showing the unscarred side] You live.
The Joker: Mm-hm.
Two-Face: [flipping, showing the scarred side] You die.
The Joker: Now you're talking!


Batman: Why do you want to kill me?
The Joker: [laughs] Kill you? I don't want to kill you! What would I do without you? Go back to ripping off mob dealers? No, no, you... you complete me.


Alfred Pennyworth: When I was in Burma, a long time ago, my friends and I were working for the local Government. They were trying to buy the loyalty of tribal leaders, bribing them with precious stones. But their caravans were being raided in a forest north of Rangoon by a bandit. We were asked to take care of the problem, so we started looking for the stones. But after six months, we couldn't find anyone who had traded with him. One day I found a child playing with a ruby as big as a tangerine. The bandit had been throwing the stones away.
Bruce Wayne: Then why steal them?
Alfred Pennyworth: Because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Bruce Wayne: People are dying, Alfred. What would you have me do?
Alfred Pennyworth: Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it. But that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast. He can make the choice that no one else can make, the right choice.
Bruce Wayne: Well today I found out what Batman can't do. He can't endure this. Today you finally get to say "I told you so."
Alfred Pennyworth: Today, sir, I don't want to.
[pauses for several moments]
Alfred Pennyworth: But I did bloody tell you.


The Joker: [Batman slams The Joker’s head on a table] Never start with the head, the victim gets all fuzzy.

 

[Eggyman]

Hmm, just spotted this thread. I put the following in the Joker Jokes thread . . . but it seems to fit here just as good:

Now, our operation is sMAll but there is a lot of potential for aggressive exPANsion. So which one of you fine gentlemen would like to join our TEam? Oh, there's only one spot open right now so we're gonna have . . . tryouts.

Make it fast.

 

[Nepenthes]

"You want to blackmail a man like that? Good luck"

"They're trying to kill me"
"Maybe Batman will save you"

sums up the whole movie for me

 

[The Caped Knight]

Tagline from Tv spot 1

This Summer, OUT OF THE DARKNESS COMES THE KNIGHT !!!!

 

[Matt Mortem]

My favorite line/moment of the film is the last scene with two-face when he looks at Gordon and says "lie, like I lied". The combination of the insanity of Two-face, the desperation of Gordon and the absolutely brilliant music composed for that scene makes it one of the best scenes in cinema. I'm half afraid to watch any other movies for fear of staining the memory in my head

 

[The Caped Knight]

Bruce Wayne : I Let that murdering psychopath blow him half to Hell .

 

[StarkTheProdigy]

Harvey Dent had a lot of great lines

 

[TDK010]

Hands down one of my favorites so far...

"Because he's the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now... and so we'll hunt him... because he can take it... because he's not a hero... he's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a Dark Knight..."

Such great lines here from Gordon, that whole ending scene would have been the perfect way to end the entire franchise let alone this 2nd installment. Although I hope we do get a third film. Here's my contribution:

Joker - "So, who's it gonna be, Harvey Dent's most wanted scum-bag collection, or the sweet innocent civilians, you choose. Oh and you might wanna decided quickly because the people on the other boat may not be quite so noble."

The 'scumbag collection' line had me in stitches. lol!

 

[Ace of Knaves]

i was wondering, what is mob dealer?

 

[The Dutch Hulk]

All the lines of Heath were awesome but i just saw it yesterday again (5th time t and i pissed in my pants when he sat down next to Harvey uhhhh Two-Face in the hospital and said "Hiiiiiiiiiii"

So simple but very effective!

 

[7guiness6]

After the pencil trick, when the Joker is telling the mob that they need to kil Batman, he is asked how much he wants. After saying he wants half, someone says, "you're crazy." I loved how he said, "I'm not. No, I'm not." It looked like he has been labeled that before and did not want to hear someone else call him crazy.

Another great line..."If you're good at something, never do it for free."

 

[Ace of Knaves]

"thats why we bring dogs!!!!!!"
"my dogs are hun-graaay!!!"

 

[Closerframe]

JOKER: If we don't deal with this now, soon... little, uh Gamble...
here, won't be able to get a nickel for his grandma.

JOKER: Ah! ah, ah! Let's not blow this outta proportion!

JOKER: Yeah... you do Brian... you really do... yeah... shhh...
So you think, Batman's made gotham a better place? Hmm...?
LOOK AT ME! You see THIS is how crazy Batman has made Gotham.
If you want order in Gotham, Batman must take off his mask and turn himself in...
oh, everyday he doesn't people will die. Starting tonight. I'm a man of my word...

Two-Face: You thought we could be decent men in an indecent world. But you were wrong; the world is cruel, and the only morality in a cruel world is chance.
[holds up his coin]
Two-Face: Unbiased.
[looks at Gordon]
Two-Face: Unprejudiced. Fair.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

the three quotes in my signeture are my favourite in the whole series. i just think they some up all three characters
