The Dark Knight Joker Quotes in TDK

[Yurka]

Oh my God,
He mouths "six" people.

 

[djchristensen]

And what Joker actually mouthed was "you're all idiots for arguing over what you think i'm saying.".....true story

No it's not,..Not!

 

[Robin91939]

He said "six" as a like "wow I killed that many of your friends" it was to mock him and show that the Joker is so evil that he even losses track of how many people he's killed and that he thinks its funny how many he actually killed.

-R

 

[Marx]

Oh my God,
He mouths "six" people.

I agree! This whole debate and argument is ridiculous and frustrating!

 

[BatFitz]

Whether it's six or ten....Who cares? Let's leave this for when the DVD comes out...where it's easier to settle a mute point as tiny as this one.

 

[Yurka]

Whether it's six or ten....Who cares? Let's leave this for when the DVD comes out...where it's easier to settle a mute point as tiny as this one.

We do, because "ten" is wrong.

Whether it's six or ten....Who cares? Let's leave this for when the DVD comes out...where it's easier to settle a mute point as tiny as this one.

Me? I was right here... Who did you leave him with? Hmmm?
Your people... assuming of course they are still your people, and not Maroni's.
Does it depress you, Commisioner, to know... just how alone you really are.
Does it make you feel responsible for Harvey Dent's current... prediciment.

Where is he?
JOKER

What difference does that make?

Then, you let Dent take your place... even to a guy like me, that's cold.
BATMAN
Where's Dent?
JOKER
Those mob fools want you gone so they can get back to the way things were.
But i know the truth... there's no going back. You've changed things, forever.
BATMAN
Then why do you wanna kill me?
JOKER
-Laughing-
I don't wanna kill you... What would i do without you?

See, i'm not a monster, i'm just ahead of the curve...
-Batman grabs Joker and drags him across the table-

Why with all these rules? You think they'll save you...
-Batman shoves Joker against the wall-
BATMAN
I have one rule
JOKER
Ooohh... And that's the rule you'll have to break to learn the truth...
BATMAN
Which is?
JOKER
...that the only sensible way to live in this world is without rules...
and tonight you're gonna break your one rule...
BATMAN
I'm considering it...

Them?

The way you threw yourself after her.

You have nothing... nothing to threaten me with.
Nothing to do with all your strength.
-Batman grabs Joker-
JOKER
Don't worry... i'm gonna tell you where they are. Both of them.
And that's the point... you have to choose. He's at 250 52nd street, and she's at... (unsure about this part)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Turning to the police guard-

and the freaks like you who just enjoy it. And you killed six of my friends...
JOKER
-Mouths, mocking shock-
Six!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOKER
-To the police guard-
Do you wanna know why i use a knife? Guns are too quick.
You can't savour all the... little... emotions. And... you see...
in their last moments... people show you who they really are.
So... in a way, i knew your friends better than you ever did.
Would you like to know which one of them were cowards...

Wai...
-The Chechen attempts to stop the Joker pouring gasonline over the money-
JOKER
Ah.. ah... ah...
-Joker waves his gun at him-

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CHECHEN MOB LEADER

JOKER
Uh, yeah... I'm only burning my half
-Ignites the money-
All you care about is money... This town deserves a better class of criminal,
and i'm gonna give it to 'em... tell your men they work for me now, this is my city.
CHECHEN MOB LEADER
They won't work for a freak
JOKER
Freeeaaak? Why don't we cut you up into little pieces and feed you to
your pooches? hmm? Then we'll see, how loyal, a hungry dog reaaaally is.
It's not about the money... it's about... sending a message. Everything burns.
-Joker dials a cell phone to a TV studio-
I have a vision of a world without batman. The mob ground out a little product
and the police tried to shut them down one block at a time... it was sooooo boring.
I've had a change of heart, i don't want Mr. Reese spoiling everything,
but why should i have all the fun? Let's give someone else a chance.
If Colin Reese isn't dead in 60 minutes... then i blow up a hospital...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Joker takes off nurses mask to reveal himself to dent-
JOKER
Hi... You know... i don't want there to be any hard-feelings between us Harvey.
When you and, uh Ra...
HARVEY TWO-FACE
RACHEL!
JOKER
...Rachel was abducted, i was sitting Gordon's cage. Y'know... I... I didn't rig those charges.
HARVEY TWO-FACE
Your men... Your plan...
JOKER
Do i really look like a guy with a plan? Y'know what i am? I'm a dog chasing cars...
i wouldn't know what to do with one if i caught it! You know... I just... Do... Things.
The mob has plans, the cops have plans... Gordon's got plans. Y'know they're schemers.
Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer, i try to show the schemers
how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So... when I say... ah, c'mere...
when I say that you and your girlfriend was nothing personal... You know that i'm telling the truth.
It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, and you had plans...
and uh, look where that got you.
-Dent tries to grab Joker-
I just did what i do best. I took your little plan and i turned it on it's side.
Look what i did to this city with a few drums of gas and a coupla bullets. Y'know what...
You know what i noticed. Nobody panics when things go according to plan.
Even if the plan is horrifying. If tomorrow i tell the press a gangbanger will get shot,
or a truckload of soldiers will get blown up... nobody panics, because it's all part of the plan.
But when i say one little old mayor will die... well then everybody LOSES THEIR MINDS!
-Pulls out gun and hands it to Harvey, holds it to his own head-
Introduce a little anarchy... upset the established order... and everything becomes... Chaaaaooos.
I'm an agent of chaos... oh, and y'know the thing about chaos? It's fair.
-Dent shows Joker one side of the coin-
HARVEY TWO-FACE
You live...
JOKER
Mmhmm...
HARVEY TWO-FACE
-Dent shows Joker the scarred side of the coin-
You die...
JOKER
Mmm... now we're talkin'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Joker talking over the intercoms to the boat ferries-
JOKER
Tonight you're all gonna be a part of a social experiment. I'm ready now to blow you all sky high.
Anyone attempts to get off their boat... you all die. Each of you had a remote....
to blow up the other boat... At midnight, i blow you all up. If, however, one of you presses
the button i'll let that boat live. So, who's it gonna be? Harvey Dent's most wanted scumbag
collection or the sweet innocent civilians. You choose! Oh, and you might wanna decide quickly,
because the people on the other boat may not be quite so noble...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Batman approaches Joker-
JOKER
Ah you made it... I'm so thrilled!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOKER
-Leaning over Batman-
We really should stop this fighting or we're gonna miss the fireworks...
BATMAN
There won't be any fireworks
JOKER
And here... we... GO!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BATMAN
What were you trying to prove? That deep down... everbodies as ugly as you?
JOKER
You can't rely on anyone these days... you gotta do every thing yourself.... Dont we!
But that's okay, i came prepared. It's a funny world we live in.
Speaking of which... y'know how i got these scars?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

JOKER
Ugh... You... You just couldn't let me go could you. This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.
You... truly are... incorruptible, aren't you? You won't kill me... outta some, misplaced sense of self-righteousness... and I... won't kill you.
Because you're just too much fun. I think, you and I, are destined to do this forever....
BATMAN
You'll be in a padded cell forever
JOKER
Maybe we could share one. You know they'll be doubling up
the rate this cities inhabitants are losing their minds.
BATMAN
This city... just showed you... that it's full of people ready to believe in good...
JOKER
Until... their spirit breaks completely.
Until they get a good look at the real Harvey Dent... and all the heroic things he's done.
You didn't think i'd risk losing the battle for Gotham's soul in a fist-fight with you?
No.... you need an ace in the hole... mine's Harvey...
BATMAN
What did you do?
JOKER
I took Gotham's white knight, and i... brought him down to our level.
It wasn't hard... you see, madness as you know, is like gravity... All it takes is a little push!

[BatFitz]

Sweet, thanks.

 

[Caladbolg]

"All you care about is money."

That part was bonkers.

 

[2winged angel]

Im actually watching the Joker mouthing scene right now and ive rewound it over and over and he is saying "ten". You guys dont have to believe me but its what he is saying.

 

[Ace of Knaves]

when hes telling rachel his story with camera circling around them. the high pitch sorta nails on a chalk board sound building up throughout his twisted tale.

 

[Slipeor]

My favority line was at the mob meeting when he was asked if he thought he could steal and walk away and he said "yeah". The casualness of his response was perfect delivery on the part of Ledger. Very well done part.

I also loved the way he seemed to constantly be swallowing the saliva in his mouth. Not sure if that was because of the makeup or intentional, but it helped make the character great.

 

[Toxin72]

I transcribed all dialog involving the Joker in the film.

Awesome job however I think you forgot the scene where joker has the fake batman.

 

[LostSon88]

Good lord this is annoying.

HE SAYS "SIX"!!!! In a mocking fashion as if to say, "Damn...was it really that many?"

Some fanboys are stubborn as a mule.

[YT]kcoumXsRdYo[/YT]

 

[Heisenberg]

Awesome job however I think you forgot the scene where joker has the fake batman.

It's in there.

 

[Marx]

Good lord this is annoying.

HE SAYS "SIX"!!!! In a mocking fashion as if to say, "Damn...was it really that many?"

Some fanboys are stubborn as a mule.

That video is hilarious!





(and a very accurate description of what is going on in this thread!)

 

[Christmas]

brilliant words, chillingly delivered...

I'm so greedy. This is it. No more Heath/Joker.

The greatest compliment laid at this movie is most certainly it leaves you wanting more.

 

[MaJiN]

Good lord this is annoying.

HE SAYS "SIX"!!!! In a mocking fashion as if to say, "Damn...was it really that many?"

Some fanboys are stubborn as a mule.

[YT]kcoumXsRdYo[/YT]

I thought he was saying "Yikes". Either way it got a huge laugh at the IMAX.

 

[JayTee]

Ummmm, so I was one of those "Oh cmon he says SIX dammit" people, but I saw it for the third time last night and for once the theatre was completely silent and he definitely said TEN. I thought he was mouthing "six" before, but you can clearly hear the T sound and everything.

 

[hiroyukibatosai]

TEN IT IS. HAHAahahahHAAHAH

 

[LostSon88]

Seriously, why would the Joker mouth ten when he even asks the officer himself how many of his friends he killed.

Joker: How many of your friends did I kill?
Officer: blah blah blah...and you killed six of my friends.
Joker: Ten.

That makes absolutely zero sense. The guy JUST said six of his friends died. Why would the Joker respond by saying, "Ten".

Now...the actual dialogue.

Joker: How many of your friends did I kill?
Officer: blah blah blah...and you killed six of my friends.
Joker: (mockingly) six?

I don't see why this is so hard.

Like I said, some are just stubborn as a mule.

 

[hiroyukibatosai]

he would reply ten correcting him? maybe your just as stubborn? HAHAHAHahahaHAHAH

 

[Nivek]

can any of you explain why he would say mockingly "10?", when the Cop just freaking clear as f'ing day said "6"?

Sweat mother of god, what I cant wrap around are the mud-nuts who are watching some crappy bootleg saying he is saying he mouthed 10 because they think for some wacked out reason that makes sense given the f'ing exchange!
