The Joker: I'm a dog chasing cars. I don't have plans. I just do things. I'm not a schemer.

The Joker: I use a knife because guns are too quick. Otherwise, you can't savor all the emotions. You know who people are in their last moments.

Batman: Why do you want to kill me?

The Joker: I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you?

Bruce Wayne: Batman has no limits.

Harvey Dent: You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

Alfred Pennyworth: You crossed the line first, sir. You hammered them. And in their desperation they turned to a man they didn't fully understand. Some men aren't looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Bartender: Dent! I thought you were dead!

Harvey Dent: Half...
