VICKI Peanuts?
KNOX Yeah. Peanuts. Which is how he goes through women.
MIRANDA Like Planter's Peanuts.
VICKI Plain or roasted? (standing up) Alex, I'm very flattered that you've gone out and done all this research.
KNOX Why? (blushing suddenly) Aw, come on, Vicki, I'm a reporter. I'm curious. I do this for a living. -- What'd you tell him?
VICKI I told him yes.
VICKI (cont.) You're awfully sweet to be concerned, but it's really not necessary. I'll call you, okay?
KNOX ... What was that?
MIRANDA That was one of the most gracious fuck-yous it's ever been my pleasure to watch. -- What a nice girl.
KNOX Miranda, I'm busy. Go be productive.
VICKI Do you sail?
BRUCE Too much work. I'm not really the physical type. -- Thank you, Alfred.
VICKI You do a very convincing imitation. (sipping her drink) Mm, this is tasty. What's yours?
VICKI (cont.) ... Ginger ale?
BRUCE Two drinks and I start swinging from the rooftops. (beat) Tell me, Vicki. There's something I'm very curious about. What took you down to Corto Maltese?
VICKI ... I guess I needed a change.
BRUCE You were one of the most successful magazine photographers in the city. Everyone wanted you.
VICKI Have you ever been to Corto Maltese?
BRUCE Not since the shooting started.
VICKI We went there once when I was little. I played on the beach. And at nights -- they had a band -- I danced with my father on the hotel patio. (shrugging) That was Corto Maltese. When the war broke out I had to go back. And I promised myself that this time... I wouldn't look away.
BRUCE What did you see?
VICKI ... Terror.
BRUCE There's terror everywhere. Some types are just more -- familiar than others.
VICKI I'm sorry. I didn't mean to -- I know it all seems a million miles away, out here on the water, with all this --
BRUCE Insulation?
VICKI Bruce, really, when I say these things I don't mean to criticize you.
BRUCE I think you see things very clearly.
VICKI I'm happy to talk about something else. I don't want to be depressing.
BRUCE (smiling) Do you assume that if I know you better I won't like you as much?
VICKI I'm sorry, Bruce, I have to ask. Are you like this with the other women you know? -- Because I just can't seem to get a handle on this conversation.
BRUCE (taking her hand) Vicki, if I say anything cryptic, or... ambiguous, I think you should put the most flattering possible interpretation on it. Because even if it doesn't sound that way...that's how I'll mean it.
VICKI -- but it's not fair. I'm half drunk and you're not even --
BRUCE Would you like me to take you home?
VICKI God. You would. (sidling up to him) Come on, Bruce. I just want to get two drinks in you. As an experiment.
BRUCE Maybe we should just kiss.
VICKI ... We could try that.
DOCTOR Well, Mr. Napier, let's see how we did.
JACK (V.O.) Mirror.
JACK (V.O.) Mirror.
DOCTOR You understand the facial muscles were completely severed --
DOCTOR (cont.) -- you can see what I have to work with here --
DOCTOR (cont.) I'm sure that with proper recon-- recon-- reconstructive surgery --
KIDNice hair, dude!
GRISSOM (O.S.) That you, sugar bumps?
GRISSOM (cont.) Who the hell are you?
JACK It's me. "Sugar Bumps."
GRISSOM (recognizing his voice) Jack? (advancing cautiously) Thank God. I can't believe it's you. I heard you'd been --
JACK (standing up) Is that what you "heard"?
JACK (cont.) YOU SET ME UP! (beat) Over a girl. You must be insane!
JACK (cont.) Keep your hands on the desk.
GRISSOM Sooner or later you would've tried to take me, Jack. You may get me now, but your life won't be worth a dime.
JACK I've died once already. It wasn't so bad. -- In fact I recommend it.
GRISSOM Jack, listen -- we'll cut a deal --
JACK JACK? JACK? DO I LOOK LIKE A JACK??
JACK (cont.) I'm not a Jack any more. (pause; cackling) You made me a Joker!
GRISSOM Jack -- I'm warning you. WIPE THAT LUNATIC GRIN OFF YOUR FACE.
JACK HA! That's the best part. I CAN'T!!
JOKER What a view. Our little city. It always brings a smile to my face.
JOKER (cont.) Guess it's my little city now. Wonder what it'll look like when I get done with it. (pause) I bet it'll be something real fine. Real fine and pretty.
VICKI I didn't mean to scare you. I just had to come in here and see it that was really you singing.
VICKI (cont.) (singing) "Don't buy sugar -- you just have to touch my cup." Come on. "You're my sugar --" (no response from BRUCE) Bruce, you are such a case.
BRUCE I don't sing very well.
VICKI Then there's one thing in the world you don't do very well. And I know what it is. -- Now you'll have to kill me.
VICKI (cont.) Poor thing. You should stay off that horse.
KNOX (disgusted) ...Peanut.
COPY BOY Here's that morgue file you wanted.
KNOX Come on. Gimme some dirt!
KNOX (cont.) ... Why don't you like your picture taken?
DOORMAN Miss Hunt! (smiling) No need to sneak in. The rent's been taken care of.
ALICIA ... The rent? Paid?
VOICE Honey -- I'm home!
JOKER (O.S.) So that's how it is, gents. Until Grissom decides it's safe to come up for air... I'm running the show.
GANG BOSS So why don't we hear this from Grissom?
RACKETEER I got something I'd like to know. How come you're wearing that stupid smirk?
JOKER 'Cause I got an army, chum. And I got Grissom's army. And this city is mine.
ROTELLI I don't like taking orders, from Grissom. And I especially don't like taking orders from Grissom's goon.
JOKER I've considered that possibility.
ROTELLI And what happens if we say no?
JOKER (chuckling) Nobody wants a war, Carmine. If we can't do business, we shake hands and part friends.
ROTELLI That's it?
JOKER That's it.
JOKER (cont.) Looks like Carmine got a little hot under the collar.
CRIMELORD ... You're insane!
JOKER That's what they said about Lee Iacocca. Now GET OUT OF HERE. -- And THINK IT OVER!
JOKER (cont.) Heck, they're not such bad guys. I say we give 'em a couple of days to come around. (thoughtful pause) We-e-ll... maybe one day. (then, casually) Aaah, screw it. Let's grease 'em.
VICKI ... To tell you the truth, I'd just about given up waiting.
BRUCE I said I'd call you the minute I got free. And I did. -- And here we are.
VICKI (teasing him) Hm hmm. Lunch. Not even dinner.
BRUCE Vicki. Do you want the whole truth? All coyness aside? (long pause) I wish I had more time to give you. Every day I don't see you, I miss you. (beat) Now. Are you going to waste this lovely afternoon being all mad at me?
VICKI Okay, I'm a sucker. You sound so much like someone I used to...(stopping suddenly) Bruce? I know this is silly, but -- you're not married, are you?
VICKI All street mimes should be executed.
BRUCE ... Looks like a convention.
VICKI BRUCE!!
BRUCE Oh my God... are you all right?
ANCHORWOMAN ... live from Halliday Plaza, where a gangland-style execution claimed the life of racketeer Philly Ricorso. Ricorso's death is the third in a rash of underworld killings...
ANCHORWOMAN (cont.) Commissioner, you've heard the rumors. Are these murders the work of the mysterious 'Batman'?
JOKER All reet! I think it's about time we called another meeting, huh?
ALFRED I'm sorry, Miss Vale. I've given him your messages. That's all I can do.
VICKI Please tell him... I'm not trying to make his life difficult. I'd just -- I'd just like to know what's going on.
