Exploiting Two-Face's Weakness
Batman
Commissioner Gordon?
Dr. Chase Meridian
He's at home. I sent the signal.
[appears]
Batman
What's wrong?
Dr. Chase Meridian
Last night at the bank I noticed something about Two-Face. His coin: it's his Achilles heel. It can be exploited.
Batman
I know. You called me here for this? The Bat-Signal is not a beeper.
Dr. Chase Meridian
Well I wish I could say that my interest in you was...purely professional.
Batman
You trying to get under my cape, doctor?
Dr. Chase Meridian
A girl can't live by psychoses alone.
Secrets Behind a Locked Door
Alfred Pennyworth
May I help you, Master Grayson?
Dick Grayson
How come this is the only locked door in this museum? What've you got back here?
Alfred Pennyworth
Master Wayne's dead wives. The silver closet. On your way.

Unexpected Introductions Between Villains
Two-Face
Ladies, you spoil us! We're of two minds about what to eat first. What?!
[Riddler enters behind him and loudly drives his cane into the floor]
The Riddler
I hope you made extra.
Two-Face
Who the hell are you?
The Riddler
Just a friend. But you can call me...the Riddler.
Two-Face
We'll call you dead, is more like it! How did you find us here?! Talk!
[grabs Riddler by the collar]
The Riddler
But then if I talked, what would keep you from slaying me, O Segregated One? By the way, that's never gonna heal if you don't stop picking.
[looks at Two-Face's disfigurement]
Two-Face
Oh? Let's see if you bleed green!
[puts a pistol to Riddler's head]
The Riddler
Harvey! I don't think it's me you really want to kill. That'd be too easy for someone as powerful as you...and you. But Batman... Now, there's a challenge! Kill the Bat! Sounds like a good idea! Just think of it, a few bullets hit home, a quick splash of blood, and then what? Wet hands...Post-homicidal depression. Why not humiliate him first, expose his frailties, and then when he's at his weakest...CRUSH HIM! I can see that...sparkle in your left eye. I can help you get Batman. That is, if you'll...spare my life for just a few moments.
[spice laughs mischievously; gasps; Two-Face feigns modesty; feigns whimpering; Two-Face chuckles; whispering]
Nygma's Experiment with Stickley Begins
Edward Nygma
Rise and shine, little guinea pig.
Fred Stickley
What are you doing, Nygma? Untie me!
Edward Nygma
This won't hurt. At least, I don't think it will.
Fred Stickley
What are you doing? Nygma, you touch that switch and...
Edward Nygma
Which one? this? Losing resolution. More power! "EDWARD NYGMA, COME ON DOWN! YOU'RE THE NEXT CONTESTANT ON BRAIN DRAIN!" Um, gee, ooh, uh, I'll take what's inside Thick Skull Number One! "What have we got for him, Johnny?" Stickley, I'm having a breakthrough! And a breakdown? MAYBE! Nevertheless, I'm smarter. I'm a genius! No, several geniuses! A gaggle! A swarm! A flock of freakin Freuds! Riddle me this, Fred! What is everything to someone, and nothing to everyone else? Your mind, baby! And now mines comes with the power of yours! ]"] I'm sucking up your IQ, vacuuming your cortex, feeding off your brain! FRED! What a rush!
[demonstrating his brain wave invention; laughs; parodying "[[w:Top Hat, White Tie and Tails|Top Hat, White Tie and Tails; dances to a techno music tune; lip noises; shuts off his machine and Stickley goes back to normal; gasping and laughing]
Fred Stickley
What the hell just happened?
Edward Nygma
A very surprising side effect! While you were mesmerized by my 3D TV...I utilized your neural energy to grow smarter.
[kisses his invention's helmet as he puts it back on the mannequin head]
Fred Stickley
Bruce Wayne was right! You demented, bizarre, unethical toad! It is brain manipulation! I'm reporting you to the FCC, the Human Experimentation Board, the AMI, and the police! You are going up on charges, to court, to jail, and then to a mental institution for the rest of your twisted little life! But first and foremost, Nygma, you are fired! Do you hear me?! FIRED!
[last words; Edward grabs the chair that Stickley is strapped to and drags it far to face the window]
