The Dark Knight Quotes (2008)

Chuckles: I’m betting the Joker told you to kill me soon as we loaded the cash.
The Joker: No, no, no, no, I kill the bus driver.
Chuckles: Bus driver? What bus driver?
[a school bus drives through the wall and kills him]

Lucius Fox: Now that’s more like it, Mr. Wayne.

The Joker: Let’s put a smile on that face!

The Joker: [after Rachel knees him in the groin] Ooh, a little fight in you. I like that.
Batman: Then you’re going to love me.

The Joker: Evening, Commissioner…
[smacks his lips]

The Joker: [to Batman] You’ve changed things… forever. There’s no going back. You see, to them, you’re just a freak… like me!

The Joker: And tonight, you’re gonna break your one rule…

Bartender: Dent! I thought you were dead!
Harvey Dent: Half…

The Joker: Starting tonight… people will die. I’m a man of my word.
[laughs]

Alarm Guy: So why do they call him “the Joker”?
Safecracker: I heard he wears makeup.
Alarm Guy: Makeup?
Safecracker: Yeah, to scare people. You know, war paint.

The Joker: It’s all… part of the plan.

The Joker: [to Batman] Come on, hit me!

Bruce Wayne: People are dying. What would you have me do?
Alfred Pennyworth: Endure. You can be the outcast. You can make the choice that no one else will face – the right choice. Gotham needs you.

The Joker: Why… so… serious?

Mayor: [regarding The Joker] What do we got?
Lt. James Gordon: Nothing. No name, no other alias. Clothing is… custom. Nothing in his pockets but knives and lint.

Gotham National Bank Manager: The criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect. Look at you! What do you believe in? What do you believe in!
The Joker: I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you… stranger.

Harvey Dent: Rachel’s told me everything about you.
Bruce Wayne: I truly hope not.

Bruce Wayne: I knew the mob wouldn’t go down without a fight. But this is different. They crossed the line.
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.

  Joker: You. You just couldn’t let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force… meets… an immovable object. You truly are…incorruptible, aren’t you? Huh? You won’t kill me out of some misplaced sense of self righteousness. And I won’t kill you…because you’re just too much fun! (laughs) I think you and I are destined to do this, forever.

  uhh…Everyone is forgetting the funniest part of when Joker meets the mobsters:

  Joker: Where do we begin? A year ago these uh cops and lawyers wouldn’t dare cross any of you, I mean what happened??
  Mob: What are you proposing?
  Joker: It’s simple…Kill the Batman.
  Mob: If it’s so easy, why haven’t you done it yet?
  Joker: If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
  Mob: Enough with the clown!
  Joker: Ahaha, let’s be get (tugging on string with grenades) too hasty…
  Here’s My card; you just give me a call when you want to take things a little…more…seriously…

  Hey, who says these lines?
  -Sometimes the truth isn’t good enough, sometimes people deserve more. Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded
  -the night is darkest just before the dawn

  and what is the quote with with joker and that guy in the interrogating room? one says something about “u r gonna enjoy this” and the other one is where joker mouths “Six?” when that guy asks about his dead friends.
  can i please have the FULL quotes?
  thanx!
• Mag wrote on 24 August, 2008, 1:33

  In response to Bones,
  The first line is from Bruce Wayne (the Batman) and the second one is from Harvey Dent.

  And the quotes are:
  The Joker – I want…I want my phone call. I want my phone call.
  Detective Stephens – That’s nice.
  The Joker – How many of your friends have I killed?
  Detective Stephens – I’m a twenty year cop. I can tell the difference between punks who need a little lesson in manners… and the freaks like you who just enjoy it.
  [pause]
  Detective Stephens – And you’ve killed six of my friends.
  The Joker – [faking interest, mouths "six"]
  [later]
  The Joker – Do you want to know why I use a knife? You can’t savor all the little moments..You see, people reveal true colors moments before they die, so I guess, I knew your friends better than you ever did. Do you want to know which were cowards?

  Joker: Why so serious???
• Molly wrote on 8 September, 2008, 0:14

  so here is the last words to the movie.

  Batman:The joker cannot win. Gotham needs it’s true hero *turns Harvey’s face*. You either die a hero, or live long enought to see yourself become the villain. I can’t do those things, because I’m not a hero…not like Dent. I killed those people-that’s what i can be. (Gordon talks at Dents “funeral”) I am whatever Gotham needs me to be. Call them. (Gordon talks)
  Gordon: They’ll hunt you.
  Batman: You’ll hunt me. Set the dogs on me. Because that’s what needs to happen. Because sometimes the truth isn’t good enough, sometimes people deserve more, sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

  Gordon’s son: Batman! Batman! Why is he running dad?
  Gordon: Because we have to chase him.
  Gordon’s son: He didn’t do anything wrong.
  Gordon: Because he’s the hero Gotham deserves but not the one it needs right now. So we’ll hunt him, because he can take it. Because he’s not a hero, he’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector, the dark knight.

  
  thankss,
  i’ve seen the movie 7 times.
