- Red Claw: Oh my god... The votes... People are voting for him to die?
- Riddler: It would seem that way, yes. Perhaps they suspect this is some farce or this is some sort of joke-
- Joker: Eddie! Stop talking to the prisoner! And prisoner, you stop making Eddie talk to you! Wait... What were you saying about the votes?
- Riddler: Joker... A majority of our votes are voting for the boy wonder to die.
- Joker: You don't say? Hmm... Just goes to show you, bird-brain. [slap] Pay attention, boy! I'm teaching you a lesson! Now, as I was saying... Just goes to show that once you peel off the smiles and business suits that normal people are sicker than I am! [laughter]
- Robin: Still not as sick as your breath.
- Joker: [laughter] That's the spirit, boy! [laughter] Keep your chin raised high... Let the world see your pretty face. [laughter] Eddie! How's that computer program of yours doin' there? We got a name for bird-boy, yet?! [laughter] My money's still on Lonnie... He looks like a Lonnie, don't ya think? [laughter]
- Riddler: No hits... The facial recognition is having hard time on account of how swollen his face is... One too many hits with the crowbar-
- Joker: Nonsense Eddie! [whack, whack, whack, cough, groan] There's no such thing as too many hits from a crowbar! [laughter fading] Or maybe there is... [sigh] Y'know... I'm getting kinda hungry. Didn't I order a sandwich? Where is that? Harley? HARLEY?!
- Harley Quinn: Right here, Mistah J! I gots ya sandwich right here! Peanut Butter and Sardines, just like ya asked fer!

That's the sound that we've reached our voting deadline... So, here... Harley, hold my knife and tell our watchers what they've won while I eat this delicious sandwich.
- Harley Quinn: Sure thing, puddin'... Uh... Well, let's see here... It looks like 5,343 votes for Boy Wonder to die... and 5,271 for him to live. So, sorry, Batman. Looks like your little friend here is goin' bye-bye! [giggles] You've lost him, Bats! He's our's now... Here... I know! Just so you remember that, Batman, let's give you reminder. [switchblade springing, gasping, pained hiss, muttering, giggling, pained groan, pained hiss, giggling, maniacal laughter, scream, giggle] There! A pretty J for my Mistah J! [giggle]
