- Lyle Bolton: Before I came here, Arkham was a revolving door for every maniac in Gotham. I kept them in. Me! Now I realize I was wrong to punish those pathetic miscreants! They're only SYMPTOMS! You're the cause: The gutless police, mindless bureaucrats, and coddling doctors! YOU SHOULD ALL BE LOCKED UP IN A CAGE WITHOUT A KEY!
- Dick Grayson: Another fine villain made possible by a grant from the Wayne Foundation.
- [Batman glares at him]
- Dick Grayson: Only kidding.
- Dr. Bartholomew: Ms. Quinn? Do you have any complaints against Mr. Bolton?
- Harley Quinn: [glancing at Bolton; meekly] I got nothin' to say.
- Dr. Bartholomew: But surely you must have something you wish to...
- Harley Quinn: You got a hearing problem or somethin'? No! Nada! Ix-nay! Zero! Zilch! Bupkis! Nothin', okay?
- [the Arkham inmates are too scared to testify against Lyle Bolton]
- Bruce Wayne: Well then, based on todays testimony, I propose extending Mr. Bolton's contract for an additional 18 months.
- Arnold Wesker: No! You can't! You don't know what he's doing to us!
- Scarface: Shut up! Don't listen to jerkface here! He don't know what he's saying!
- Harley Quinn: [pounds Scarface's head in] No! It's all true! If we don't speak up now, we'll *never* get another chance! He threatens us! Takes away our privileges! Even when we're good!
- Lyle Bolton: We've heard enough of this nonsense.
- The Scarecrow: He says scum like us must be kept in line. That's why he chains us down at night, and electrifies our doors!
- Scarface: He held me over a can filled with termites, ya hear me? TERMITES!
- Harley Quinn: He's an animal!
- Arnold Wesker: A monster!
- The Scarecrow: Keep him away!
- Lyle Bolton: Shut up! All of you!
- [after a struggle between Bolton and the orderlies, he rushes to kill the inmates, only to be tripped by Wayne. He again is restrained by them]
- Lyle Bolton: You're all scum! You should be beaten within an inch of your misbegotten lives!
- Dr. Bartholomew: I've seen enough!
- [bangs gavel]
- Dr. Bartholomew: Lyle Bolton, you're dismissed!
- The Scarecrow: Don't take me back there, please! Look at me, Batman! I'm shaking with fear! Me, the Scarecrow! I wasn't even going back to crime this time! I just had to get away from... him!
- Lyle Bolton: Congratulations, Professor Crane. You're the first inmate to escape Arkham under my charge.
- [Scarecrow whimpers with fear as Bolton grabs him]
- Lyle Bolton: You're also the last. I won't let you and the people of Gotham City down again, Batman.
- Summer Gleeson: Mr. Bolton, any comments about your dismissal and the charges of extreme behavior?
- Lyle Bolton: This city is an open wound begging to be stitched.
- Summer Gleeson: [reporting on Poison Ivy] Next up on "Gotham Insider": she's gorgeous, she's deadly, and she's back in town. Once again...
- Lyle Bolton: Look at the way these monsters have turned into heroes. It all starts with the permissive, liberal media.
- Dr. Jonathan Crane: [Bolton is led into Arkham] Now you shall learn new lessons in fear.
- Lyle Bolton: [put into his cell] They thought they could trap me in a world of lunatics, but I showed them. Now I can keep an eye on everyone. They'll never slip past me again.
- Lock-Up: [kidnapping Summer Gleeson] The time has come to cleanse Gotham of the real criminals. You apprehend them, Dark Knight, and Lock-Up will put them away. Together, we can make this city safe again.
- Batman: By kidnapping innocent victims? I don't think so.
- Lock-Up: If you're not part of the solution... then you're part of the problem.
- Summer Gleeson: Thanks for the exclusive, Mr. Wayne. Do they always include such a sumptuous meal?
- Bruce Wayne: Only when the topic is a successful Wayne Corp merger.
- Commissioner James Gordon: I see your taste in prisoners is improving, Bolton.
- Lock-Up: You have three seconds to release those bars.
- Commissioner James Gordon: If you let us go now, Bolton, I can guarantee leniency.
- Lock-Up: [sending an electric volt through the bars] I don't do leniency.
- Batman: [arriving at the Bat-Signal] Commissioner?
- Detective Harvey Bullock: I lit the signal, Bats. That nutcase took the commish and gave me these new cuff links.
- [revealing he's handcuffed to a pipe]
- Detective Harvey Bullock: Took me fifteen minutes to hit the switch on your overgrown flashlight. You got any idea what this is all about, cowl head?
- Batman: [breaking the handcuffs with a hand-held laser] I think so. First Summer Gleeson, then Bartholomew, and now Gordon. Put extra security around Mayor Hill.
- Detective Harvey Bullock: You mind lettin' me in on the joke?
- [seeing he's gone]
- Detective Harvey Bullock: Typical.
- Mayor Hamilton Hill: You want me to hide during a crisis? How will that look to the voters? Well, this is overkill, Detective. I have the finest security system in the city. It's virtually impenetrable.
- Batman: [entering] Virtually. But not completely.
- Robin: If we can slip through, so can Lock-Up.
