 Quotes from Batman (1989)
1
The Joker: Haven't you ever heard of the healing power of laughter?

  
2
The Joker: I've been dead once already; it's very liberating. You might think of it as... therapy.

  
3
Grissom: Your life won't be worth spit!
The Joker: I've been dead once already, its very liberating. You should think of it as therapy.
Grissom: Jack, maybe we can cut a deal.
The Joker: Jack?
The Joker: Jack is dead, my friend. You can call me Joker and as you can see I'm a lot happier.

The Joker: I recently had a tragedy in my life. Alicia...
[lays the mask that Alicia wore on the table]

Jack Napier: Decent people shouldn't live here. They'd be happier someplace else.
Alicia: Pretty tough talk about Carl.

Alicia: If Grissom knew about us, he might hand you something.
Jack Napier: Don't flatter yourself, angel. He's a tired old man. He can't run this city without me. And besides, he doesn't know.
